AS EXPECTED and predicted the
State Temperance Alliance met with
no more favor from the Republican
State Convention at Dover yesterday
than it received from the Democratic
Convention which met two weeks pre-
viously. This negative action of the
Republican party was not taken be-
cause it was Indifferent 10 the cause of
temperance, but because the :temper-
ance party had blocked out its course
more than q month ago and had placed
a ticket in advance in the field. Under
these circumstances the Republican
party did not feel under obligations to
60 over to the help of party that
threatened its destruction. Moreover,
the Republicans did NOT want to be
encountered by any side-show arrange
ments this year, and besides being in
the minority in the State and ia the
Legislature they were not responsible
for the urgent demand for prohibitory
Mr.. Smithers seemed TO comprehend
the situation fully when he said that
all such questions were more particular
ly relevant to the dominant party that
have been in possession Of the State
government for the last thirty years,
and If the ten perance people are sin
cere in their desire to know what the
Republican party will do for their cause
they should help it intp the control of
the State.

IT NOW looks as If the tide had set
fairly in for a grand Republican victory
in Ohio next Tuesday week. Ohio has
steadily voted for every Republican
candidate the country has yet had and
1t is not likely she " i'll mar that bril-
liant record this year. With a grand
Republican majority on the second
Tuesday of October, the Presidential
contest will he virtually decided, ~

Ohio means solid Republican north,
and a majority of fotty-eight electoral
votes for Blaine with fair chance for
larger majority by carrying some vi

blance of q fair election is observed. All
that is needed now Is to close up the
lines and stand firm and the victory

Anthony Higgins, Esq, became the
nominee of the Republican State Con-
vention assembled at Dover yesterday
for Representative in Congress, from
Delaware. In nominating Mr.. Hig-
gins, the Republicans Of Delaware have
not only nominated one or the most
available, but one of their ablest lead
ers to represent them iDthe law-making
body of the nation. He occupies no
second place when compared with his
competitor, Mr.. Lore, nor Is his ability
in the least obscured when brought
under the shadow of Delaware De.
mocracy's favorite son." Thomas +.
Bayard. If Mr.. Higgins IL not elected,
lack Of intelligence and ability, Of
character and courage, Of patriotism
and true Americanism, canaot be urged
as the cause.
Ii the voters Of Delaware will only
lay aside their partisan selfishness for
the time being and look at the prin-
ciples involved in the campaign, they
will elect Mr.. Higgins. While we have
not word to say against the ability
and character of his ompetitor, Mr..
Lore, we unhssitatingly assert that
he Is not a true representative Of those
interests which would make Delaware
the most independent and prosperous
little State In the Union. Mr.. Higgins
would never be caught voting for q
free-trade speaker Of the House, as Mr..
Lore did, and by 80 doing the building
OF Wilmington's new Post Office and
Custom House is postponed one year at
least. Mr.. Higgins should be elected
because he is in favor of protection to
American industries and American
labor. He should be elected because
he is emphatically in favor of State
reform. He should be elected because
he is from the masses of the people, and
one of the people, and If the people
want sincere friend of themselves,
of State reform and Of good govern
ment elected, they will. after giving the
question mature thought and delibera-
ton, vote for and triurh phantly elect
Mr.. Higgins.

as follows: The claimants counsel in thi-

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec S.-Referring to
that portion of the presidents message re-
garding the enlargement of the scope of the
civil-service law, DIR. Gregory, one Of the
commissioners, says the system is now in q
state of transition, and the objections urged
by outsiders to any extention of the rules
arise mainly from the idea that unpopular
or unworthy officials will be retained thereby.
This he says is an error. These men can be
removed the same as before if they are not
cool public servants, but in their places COM
petent and trained persons will be promoted
instead of trying experiments with outsiders
who have most political influence as rec
ommendation.
To the suggestion that attempts to enlarge
the scope of the system at this time would
probably create hostility on the part of the
party coming into power, he did not agree
When asked why the whole public service,
with the exception of cabinet officers were
not included, he answered that that would
eventually be the result There was, he said,
no logic in drawing the line either above or
below any class. 1t the system was good for
a part it must be good for the whole,

About one year ago my daughter commenced
taking your Sarsaparflla. AT that time she
hal very little appetite; could take no long
walks, and her face was badly broken out
with humor. She was Ow-spirited; troubled
with cold hands and feet; her blood seemed
to be poor, and she was in condition which
caused US great anxiety. After taking one
bottle of your Sarsaparilla she began to I'M
prove; and she now has good appetite and
can take much longer walks. Her humor is
nothing compared with what it was one year
ago. She is in better spirits, is not troubled
with cold hands and feet as previously And
i attribute this improvement in her condi-
ton largely to your. Sarsaparilla. She has
taken six bottles, and intends to continue its
use. l was inclined to oppose the trial of it
at first. | now have great faith in it as a
