convention which will nominate the
candidates of the Republican party for
various offices, State and national, the
voters will be confronted with only one
serious question, namely, the selection
of their candidate for the United States
Senate.
Senator DUPONT, who has served his
state for many years with honor
dignity, distinction and ability, an
nounced some time ago that he would
accept a denomination if rendered tC
him by the Republicans of Delaware
There was general feeling of satisfac

at his decision and 1t was felt that by
reason Of the esteem and affection in
which he is held by the people Of the
State he would be renominated without
question.
II the voters chose the Senator by
direct ballot he would be nominated
almost unanimously. But they are re-
quired to select men from various can
didates who win want to be delegates
to the convention.
BY reason of kind of political sub.

the selection Of delegates who will
favor his denomination deserves the most
careful attention Of the voters of tn,

Knowing full well that he could not
succeed in open warfare, he accomplish
