Milford, Friday, August 26, 1882

In all parties there are many diff
ferences as to nominations of per-
sons for official preference. This is
quite proper, and settlement should
be conducted through primary meet
ings in all the districts in the state
The result of these elections carries
to all party men and women, respon-
sibility to support the ticket so nam
ed by a convention carrying out the
laws as made for an orderly naming
of a ticket. This carries a RESPONSE
bility regardless of personal animOs-
ity, an desire of individuals. Until
the primaries and convention of del
egates have discharged the duties
through and by majority action, an
inalienable right of every qualified
voter, is to advocate policies and
nominations which are thought to be
for the best interest of the public
welfare in the future, and that is to
be desired; but, when the cOnven-
tions have acted and capable nomi-
nee placed as a ticket, then must
come harmony. In regard to the
nominees of the Republican party,
the two aspirants, Governor Buck, of
New Castle, the present governor,
and Ex-senator l. d. Snort, of Sus-
sex county, either would do honor to
the State of Delaware as Chief Ex-
ecutive for the next four years, and
We believe that either man will be
loyalty supported at the general
election. TO this all loyal Republi-
cans will subscribe without reserva-
tions. When the primary contests
have been settled by arbitrament of
the polls, and the convention has
named a ticket for all Republicans
to support in November, there should |
be unanimous and harmonious action |
to elect the nominees of the Republi- |
can party, to direct the public affairs |
of State government for the next |
four years. While we do not agree /
with some of the policies agitated |
through a part of the Wilmington
electorate, as to the future ecomi-
cal and political systems, and how
they should be conducted, we do /
know that the desire for control of
the state in all branches of govern
ment, by the people of Wilmington
and New Castle, through a cOnsoli-
dation of all three of the counties
into one government can not be ac-
complished without amendment of
the Constitution of the State of Della
ware, and justthere is the safeguard
for Kent and Sussex to take care of
themselves and their salvation. Del
aware has prospered under the busi-
ness administration of Governor
Buck, as did other governments un- I
der their leaders during the great
imitation period in BUSINESS. In all {
outlook for the future, such condi-
tions should not be expected. re-
as to who is the Governor {
Of Delaware. The sources of revenue
will not produce the large sums of
recent years, and the policies to S
carry out the present program for
changes i'm state and county govern {
ments, and at the same time meet I

". will require more than casual
thought, without loading taxes direct
On the real property of the entire I
itate. We believe that Kent and c
sussex Will be the safety valve be- 4
ween the dreams of political inter I
,sts in Wilmington and the state. For a
more than a century the lower coun- i
les have been the safety value for a
tate government, and in the future
Ient and Sussex will have to take a
are of New Castle and Wilmington. II
