Our REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION.


THE Every Evening is independent Democratic
newspaper Its policy is one Of political pes
simsm. For 1t, cloud has a silver lining. Some
times il suffers from biousness; other times from
the blues and at all times from indigestion, is an
editorial invalid whose querulous complanings no
longer are taken seriously by sober-mnded men and
women Getting the wrong side OF practically every
public question has become with II a confirmed habit
It is misanthropic meanchoc, periphrastic. hyper
bolic and, at times. idiotc in its discussion OF public
men and public issues
It's dstemper present is directed against the
Republican organization in this State. One would
think read its bilious uterances that that organi-
cation is made up OF a gang Of political high-bnders
that is addicted all pernicous practices
And yet if our msanthropc contemporary called
upon for bill OF particulars in support Of its rrespon-
shle editorial rawlings it would find itself serious
disadvantage because the proofs not only would be
lacking, but wholly nonresident
There are five Republican organizations in Della
ware. They the Republican State Committee the
Republican First District Committee and Republican
county committees in New Castle, Kent and Sussex
They not only exist but they good virile and mill
tant organizations They a credit TO the who
formed them and to the men who direct and uphold
them, and blessing to the public because they stand
between and spolaton at the hands of that form Of
Democracy that finds favor in the mind OF the Every
Evening The Republican voters in Delaware are proud
loyally-as they deserve to be supported.
There was a time when Delaware, thanks to vicious
partisan legislation and corruption at elections was
rock-ribbed Democratic State. That is no longer.
Why2 Because Republican organizations such as those
alluded to above have public confidence by elect
ing good to office; by passing fair and beneficial
laws and by conducting the affairs of the people along
such economical busness-like and progressive lines
that they have desire to 10 the old and scan
dalous Democratic conditions
The Republican organizations in Delaware exist be-
cause they deserve to exist
The Republican party in Delaware controls, because
1t deserves to control
The people appreciate what they have done for them
in the matter of placing the business of the State of
the counties and of the city Wilmington upon plane
that both high and respectable something that sell
DOM il ever, existed when the Democrats in
troi.
How is your organization?" prominent Democrat
inquired Of officer Of the Republican State Com
mittee in Market street. this city recently.
"All right" was the response
Il glad to know that the prominent Democrat
said. 1T is good thing the Republican party here
has strong and effective organization II serves
to hold the Democratic party now is constituted
in check"
That is voice from within the Democratic lines
II represents the sentiment hundreds Of Democrats
who know that the Democracy OF our city and state
operated lower level than il does today un-
der Senator willard Salisbury the absentee landlord
and those whom he has selected TO carry his orders
IN his absence.
The truth is that many intelligent h-minded and
honest Democrats afraid of their own party organ
izaton and look to the Republican organization. o
which the Every Evening complains so much to protec
them against Democratic viciousRess ignorance ant
e2travagance The vote in Democratic districts II
this city next Saturday will supply ample proof o
the truth OF this assertion
The Every Evening suggests that the Republican or
&saization corrupt We challenge it TO prove H. or
to use term of the street, call upon it now to "pu
up shut up"
We have in this State Democratic Attorney-Gen
eral and three Democratic deputies All of them ar
ardent partisans II the Every Evening has any evi
dence of Republican corruption. Il lodge it in tn
friendly hands of those State prosecutors II will no
do il, because il doesn't possess it, II cannot get Il
because it doesn't exist
The Republican organization. with the consent &
the Republican voters the primaries and the peopl
the election has given to this State Miller for Go,
and to this city Howell for Mayor We cha
lenge the Every Evening intimate that either
them is corrupt the tool of corrupt men,
The Republican organization, with the consent
the voters, has given the public practically all Of
coed laws under which they now live in peace an
safety the OF the rights Of citizenship
If a tree be known by its fruit then certainly Il
history of Republican rule in this city and Civ
the lie direct the Every Evenings attacks upon Il
Republican organization upon which that rule HI
been based.
