The election of Mayor Latrobe is q re-
froof to the Democrats who would desert
the regular organization in time when
strength ia important, for mere trihes.-

But what is to become OF the negro in
this Lew state of affairs He certainly
will not yield implicit obedience to the
bosses OF that party as has been his
wont. Neither can he be expected to
come bodily over to the Democratic party.
The only course left for him Ia one of
Independence. That his welfare ia not
entirely wrapped up in the Republican
party, ia fact that he now realizes as
he never did before. That his political
salvation depends entirely upon the
Democratic party he will hardly be will
ing to accept just yet. That he will have
the manliness to acknowledge that his
future is in his own hands, is hardly to
be expected of him If We Judge from his
past actions. But that it is in his own
hands, and that he should carve it out
by Independence of thought and OF action,
no honest mag be he Democrat or Re.
publican, will attempt to deny.-Susser

ALI indications now point to the success
of the entire Democratic ticket in the
county. The inhsrmonions promises
growing out Of the convention have all
subsidized in the interest OF party success.
While many good Democrats would have
preferred the ticket different in come par
ticulsrs, few can now be found who do
not accept it as preferable to what the
Republicans have to offer. On the other
hand the Republican love feast has soured
and soured, until to day acetio acid would
act as alkali in the teeming mass. A care
tul scrutiny of the personal of the ticket
shows to the Stalwarts tina. there are
some Halt breeds who must go, while a
counter scrutiny by the Hslf-breeds has
fixed upon every man suspected of Stall
wartism the brand Of interloping. "Not
Half breed will touch" says the Stall
wart. "No Stalwart in mine" chants
the Half-breed. And the lovefeast ID
still souring, souring. Democrat.
The political tide of Republication in
Delaware is at its lowest ebb. The party
received such crushing defeat at the
election oae year ago, that it has barely
| survived, and exists without organiza.
| ton and almost without hope. After
having seen the Promise Land of victory
not far off, and with such bright antici-
| pations, the defeat was especially dis
heartening. AS the situation now is The
outlook for Republicans in this State is 6
torlorn one, and no one has had the
courage to mention future campaign.-

We publish this week the pamphlet o
DR.. Comegys in relation to an institute
| for farmers. The idea ia not only feast
BILE but entirely practical and the doctor
to show his entire confidence in its utility
makes q very fair proposition towards
raising the necessary funds for its ex
penses. The business men Of the towI
would do we'll to take hold of the matter
and make a success of it as an ipstitu
ton of this kind would be the means no
only of enabling the farmers sons ant
daughters to receive practical instruction
but would at the same time be the mean
of drawing people to the town. DR.
