LET'S Get Down to Business
(From the Harrington Journal)

Colonel Henry A. dupont, the best
United States Senator the little State
Of Delaware has ever produced, has
again been renominated to represent
his party in the United States Senate.
A mighty big man for so small a
State as Delaware to boast Of But
Delaware has always produced big
men just when they were needed
most
From the day that Caesar Rodney
made his heart-breaking and almost
miraculous ride from Dover to Phila-
delphia to cast the deciding vote in
our Congress TO today our little State
has always been depended upon to
produce the right sort Of man at the
time our country needed him most.
In these times of military prepared

the Senate a soldier Of repute, of repu-
tation, Of Tenown! We shall return.

tary affairs, a man who is fitted as
well, If not better, than any man in
the country to fill that position. A
man whom Democrats and Republi-
cans alike realize as a Giant in the
United States Senate Can we afford
not to return him? Any true Ameri-
can who has real red blood in his

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
STRONG TICKET AND PLATFORM.

SANONO AANhL4 AMI FLA If Ohnu.
From the Dover State Sentinel.
The Republican convention did great
work in Dover last Tuesday. The plat
form is strong because it is full of the
truth we'll stated. If it severely critI-
cises the Democratic administration, II
is only because the faults and the weak
ness of that administration invite ana
deserve criticism. Democratic Themselves
cannot deny the truth of the criticisms.
The ticket is as strong as the platform.
1t is composed of men of tried honesty
efficiency and marked ability. Senator
DUPONT is acknowledged everywhere TO
be one Of the ablest men in the Sena.e,
and he is known to be a close student
of all the business affairs of the coun-
try. Delaware is Justly proud of him.
Congressman Miller has made a fine
record since he has been in the House
and has attained a position seldom ac-
corded man during his first term IN
Congress. Col. John G. Townsend, Jr.
is respected by every man in Delaware
and is admired for his honesty, his bust
ness ability, his unselfsh devotion to
the public welfare and his genial, gen
tlemanly bearing at all times and to-
wards all people. He is one of the most
popular men in the State and will make
an exceedingly strong executive. All Of
the other nominees are known for their
ability and integrity. No stronger or
better ticket has ever been named IN
this state by any party or at any time.

Der, and while there was a very earnest
and bitter contest at the primary cleo
tons at which the delegates TO the con-
ycntion We're chosen, the result will be
found to be on the whole better than
it was expected.
At one time the situation was critical.
and had the anti-organization forces
been directed by hot headed leaders
without care for the results TO the Re
publican party, in the nation as well as
IN Delaware, there would certainly have
been bolt which would have split the
party; but "a more broad policy was fol
lowed and the Republican party of Della
ware can now square its course for vic
tory at the polls next November. The
steering committee failed to get the
convention in hand, aud even the State
Central Committee was incapable OF
shaping course to clear the rocks OF
discord which were 50 numerous. The
credential committee was pitifullv in
competent, and the action of the conven-
ton, when it refused to accept its re-
port, and sent the committee back to
make another report after the damage
had been done, proclaimed that the real
Republicans in the convention would
not tolerate the high-handcd robbery of
men Of their rights The entire action
Of the credentials committee in conncc-
ton with Kent county was rotten. and
their obeying the mandates of the con
vention by reversing themselves. only
further damned them in the minds of
the people. and repudiates the men I'M
Kent county who engineered the steal.
With the exception Of the Kent county
situation, the Republican convention
was harmonious and in accord with Re
