ONE Of the representative Republican newspapers
" in the Fest is the Philadelphia Inquirer II
has taken editorial cognizance Of the renomintion of
Colonel Henry A. DUPONT and the Importance the
country large Of his reelection That editorial 49,,
in part follows
Senator Henry A. DUPONT Of Delaware was renomin-
ated i'm the Republican Convention without opposing
votes although it can hardly be said that it was with
out opposition. For months the struggle in Delaware
politics the Colones denomination has been bitter
and the alfred" forces they called expected
70 win II is this Alfred who is back Of the movement
10 Gust Pierre dupont from his ownership of lot Of
the powder stock The trial Wilmington recently
aroused worldwide interest but the has not yet
filed its decision in the matter.
Colonel DUPONT starts into the fight for reelection
with the organization back Of him and plenty of war
supplies The only question confronting the Republ-
of Delaware Is whether they propose take sides
in family fight 10 the detrment of the national party.
Just now there is strong fight being made to recap.
the Senate from Democratic control and there will
be excuse for Republicans letting their personal
prejudces interfere with the reelection OF Colonel
DUPONT
Colonel dupont was first elected to the Senate mere
than twenty years ago, but unseated techni-
caly. He has been in his present seat than ten
years aud in spite OF his rs years is vigorous mentally
and physically. He ought to be reelected. He is no
honorary military He graduated from West
Point In 1851 and served with distinction throughout
the getting the Congressional medal Of honor, and
served until 1871 in the regular army. In private life
he has shown himself constructive man outside his
powder interests, he has been connected with many
railways, but his official claim Is to being farmer
He has some OF the finest farms in the country along
the Brandywine. but we doubt II they have greatly
sweled his fortune.
Delaware can have no better Senator and Delaware
ans should remember that the Nation needs Republ
can Senator from that State
That is pleasing compliment TO come from an out
side source The reminder that the nation needs Re
publican Senator from this State to assist in wrest
ing from the Democrats their control Of the United
States Senate also timely Delaware Republicans nc
doubt appreciate the force OF that suggestion will
