Mr.. EpIToR;-Very soon our peo-
pie will be engaged in an exciting
campaign and it Is very essential that
our party select the very best men to
present to the voters for their suffrages.
Our Diamond State stands high in the
estimation of the statesmen of to-day.
Her record in the Councils of this
great nation is brilliant, and will ever
remain 80 If her people are true to the
teachings Of our fathers. Our people
are governed by wise laws and expert
ence has taughtlus that these laws are
well suited for just and good govern
ment Of all classes Of Delawareans.-
We have lived happily and continued
to prosper for many years by adhering
to the principles and teaching of our
fathers. Our people ar6 jealous of
their rights under the constitution.--
I'VE are one of the original States that
formed the Federal Government for
protection, and by entering into the
compact we did not cede any right be-
longing TO our State, hence we believe
the Federal Courts have no legal right
to interfere with our domestic affairs,
believing such interference tends to
Capitalization. The constitutions and
laws Of other States are being contin-
ually changed forA partisan purposes
keeping the people in turmoil and ex-
citement. We should learn wisdom
from these examples, and constantly
keep it before our people that the ex-
periments of other States in resorting
to tampering with the domestic tran
guilty of their people. creates unrest
and strifes that cannot be healed for
years. Let us stand by the old land
marks and not be carried away by de-
signing and upprincipled men, who are
always ready for change for the sake
Of gain or popularity: AS our par y
has governed our State wisely and
well, giving the people good and
wholesome laws, and electing men to
office that take care of revenues and f.
nances with honesty, practising econo-
my in every department and doing all
things of public character with good
Judgment consistent with reason. AS
our public officials are honest and per
form their several duties with an eye
single TO the interest of all our citi-
zens ,and the reputation Of our State;
as we have placed men in power to
administer our laws whose characters
are stainless and whose judgments are
in accordance with the laws of the
land and our statutes. As We have
honored and true statesmen to repre-
sent us in Congress. ALI more, we
have our own Thomas f. Bayard who
is a statesman of the Jefferson School,
and stands second to none amongst all
the great men of to-day, to say we are
proud would be a poor expression OF
the feelings of our people towards. oul
honored statesman and Senator. 1t il
factthat the great Demo ratio part,
north, south, east and west are prout
of Delaware honored and honest son
This pride is increasing through thu
nation so much SO, that a glimpse int
the future appears to reveal the fac
that Delaware will be honored by hav
ing the name Of the Hon. Thomas f
Bayard placed at the head as oul
standard bearer for the Presidency. A
statesman as he has proved himself tc
be, gentleman of the type he il
known to he, makes him tower oi
strength amongst the masses who are
in favor of good government. 1t be-
hooves us to be up and doing, that we
may have this continued prosperity
and be represented by men whose
characters are without blemish. Let
us once more reveal to the world that
Delaware's institutions are not to be
down trodden by demagogues elected
by q rabble, and worthless negroes
Let us show to the world that we, as
Delawareans, are in favor of local self
government as the best means against
Federal Capitalization. To accom-
plish this, requires cool judgment,
much work, and a determination lC
win.
