Baltimore Day.
Mr.. Richard Harrington Ia defeated but
not demoralized. He fought for principle
In Delaware, but has been temporarily
overwhelmedb by the liberal use of Demo
cratic money. At least he says so in card
and everybody who has confidence that inti-
mate relations exist between truth and the
principal in the Washington safe burglary
will believe him. The fact is that the
occupancy of the craftsmanship of the State
committee OF any party by SO disreputable
character as Dick Harrington is bound TO
insure its defeat In any State In the Union.
Harrington's record Is more than an offset
to Jay Hubbells money.

Richard Harrington undertakes to salve
the soreness caused by the increased Demo-
cratic majority in little Delaware by the as
sertion that the Democrats had the most
money. Mr.. Harrington needs to be re-
minded that it's poor rule that won't
work both ways, and IL money is the all
important factor in elections the Demo-
cratic victories in Republican States like
Pennsylvania and Michigan would have
been impossible. 1t is to be feared that Mr..
Harrington hasn't caught on to the real
causes of the Democratic cyclone which
swept the country last Tuesday He should
hold private conference with Cameron and
Hubbell on the subject. They could give
him some inside information as to the real
causes, If they would tell the honest truth.

Delaware, as we predicted last week, has
given handsome majority for the Demo
cratic ticket. The safe burglar conspirator
and Chairman of the Delaware Republican
State Committee, Dick Harrington, will
have to wait awhile yet before he can be

The result of the election IN Delaware Is
easily told. We arc whipped. Why, would
require too much space to tell. We are sat
siied that the votes were and are In the
State to have given the Republicans hand
some majority, but they could not be used.
Those reforms which were promised the
people by the Democrats during the cam
paign will now be looked for more anxiously
than ever. If the Republican campaigA
succeeds only In forcing the Democrats to
give New Castle county increased reprcsen-
tation, and TO introduce the district system
FOR choosing members of the Legisl aturc
and Levy Courts, much good WIN result
thereirom.

The continuation of the Democratic party
in power Is guarantee that the just and
economical course heretofore pursued will
be continued. That the prosperity hereto
fore enioyed will not be wanting in the
future. That the blessings Of good gov
ernment heretofore obtained will not be
withhold. Time and again the Democratic
party has been weighed In the balance; time
and again the verdict "Well done thou faiths
ful servant" has been given, but not with
more meaning and force than the verdict
rendered OH November 7th. IN the
political history Of this State no contest
was fought with more determination
than the one from which We have
just emerged. The fight was not only
the life or death of the Republican party as
an organization, but II was one waged for
place, position, character and power, by
those whose unsavory reputation and ques-
tionable acts In the past had barred IRON
any enjoyment of them save through the
success of Republicanism. The verdict re-
turned is not only vindication OF the
honesty and integrity of the rule Of the
Democratic party, but 1t is an open notice
served upon the Republican party and
leaders Of Delaware, that the honest people
of an honest little Commonwealth mean to
have an honest government, and that In the
future like as IN the past, they have cast
their lot and staked their all with the Demo
cratic organization through whom alone Il
can be guaranteed.

1t Is useless at this time to discuss the
cause that led to this result, and it would
be worse than useless for the Republicans tc
indulge in selEreproaches. Nor does IL
seem worth while just now to speculate
upon the methods by which the Democrats
| secured their large majority. pscountinp
all improper means, If any fnch were
| resorted to, we do not question the fact thai
The people of the State really desired tt
renew to the Democrats their lease of power
Cordially acqulescing in this renewed trust
We hope it will be used to advance the in
terests of all the people of our little Com
monwealth.

If Mr., Dick Harrington has not received
"yindication" enough from the stinging
finger-tlps of honest vctcrs, we know OF bu
one way for him him to got more, namely
from an honest jury of his countrymen
But this sort of "vindication" his conscience
forbids his invoking, because he well knows
he would get moro than he wants Of II.
