In It's issue OF Saturday the Milfor,
News has q strong Democratic inclina
tion, and after praising HanoOok's let
ter 1t says:
ave trust that the Generals deelara
tion in favor Of "a full vote, free bal
lot and fair count" will be sustained
by his party. II has much to learn IL
that respect, and must unlearn mucl
of Its method Of conducting former
campaigns. His views on the civi
service, the administration Of the Gov
ernment, the public credit and the gen
eral policy Of the country are in the
main excellent, and will no doubt be
acceptable to a majority Of the people,
without regard to the political party
they train in"
The Sussex Journal is a paper which
can extract comfort from almost any.
thing. 1t says "The efforts of the Re.
publican party In Alabama have proved
futile. The election on Tuesday utter
ly demolished the expectations Of this
party and the Greenbackers who had
formed an alliance. This is not the
year when such combinations will sue
ceed. The result Of this election will
do good work for the Democrats
throughout the country. The Han
cock boom Is growing daily"
Some people have unbounded ambi-
tion. This is the case with Mr.. Dean Of
Newark, II the Ledger tells the truth
in this paragraph at may be as well
to inform the "leadsrs'' that a gentle
man from New Castle wouldn't object
to fill the "chair." We allude to Hon.
William Dean. He Is tired OF being
an Assenblymau and would either like
to be Governor or an N. c."
Willard Pride, In his paper, the
Delaware Inquirer, condemns the as.
sault on the negro Harris. "This
won't do," he says. "Free speech in
Delaware has been tolerated too long to
be interfsred with now. II black man
wants to speak for Hancock It is clear
ly his right TO do 80, and every inter-
ference with him will be at the expense
Of the party who rudely objects"
The Dover DelawArean for last week
had two long editorials lauding Han
cock and his little letter, together with
this little Aing: "The Republicans a
few days ago, were very much alarmed
becau, 70 the Democrats had chosen as q
Presidential candidate warrier whose
favorits weapon was his sword. But
now Il ey are alarmed because his pen
is mightier than his sword"
The Sentinel remembers how 1t was
before and remarks: 'It is the Greeley
over again. Big fuss--slec-
tion oertain-orescendo movement for .
that diminuendo, and ta-
pering of at very nne point in Novem-
bsr."
Some Of the Democratic journals says
the Newark Ledger, are still hammer.
ing away at Garfeld's DeGolysr and
Credit Mobilier records to prove him q
corrupt man, but 1t is evident they are
not making much headway.
The New York Tribune seriously puts
Delaware down as one Of the doubtful
States, and says the Republicans "are
awake to the fact that they have a fair
chance Of carrying it."
Speaking Of the delegate election the
Democratic Middletown Transcript COM
plscently says: "Fhe Democrats here
don't propose to sulk, whatever, the
result may be. Ballot or delegate, they
will be found solid for victory in No
vember."
