THE DEMOCRATIC factional fight ts
over and Benjamin T. Biggs 10 nomi-
mated IS the Democratic candidate for
gate election on Saturday 1t was evi.
dent that Biggs had such a lead in the
race that he could not easily be headed
off. The preliminary campaign was
undoubtedly the most heated and scri-
monious that ever took place In the
State, and the disorder tina. prevailed
was perfectly in keeping with the
delegate elections that preceded the
TheGe are now two tickets
In the field for Governor and for Con-
gress. Whether there will be more,
the probabilities are that there vii! not.
Nothing would please the Democrats
better now than for the Republicans to
call State Convention and nominate
. ticket They are sadly in need OF
that harmony which nothing else can
brine them than the n3mIpAtloa Of a
Republican ticket. Republicans have
nothing special against either Mr..
Biggs or Mr.. Hoffecker. They have
both been Democrats, and between them
the Republicans can make q choice
who have not been disfranchised. The
ad ADMINISTRATION wing Of the Democracy,
which has just been 30 beautifully laid
out, will have TO vote the ticket nomi-
mated. They are the accepted Demoo-
raoy OF the administration and they
cannot afford to bolt though they may
feel like doing so. 1t looks, then, Of
IL the State nominations were com
pleted. The contest will be between
Mr.. Biggs and MI Hoffscker for Gov
ernor, and Mr.. Pennington and Mr.
Cooper for Congress. Those who dc
not like to vote for the first named Of
each Office, can vote for the last. The
Repub licsn party, rs a party, will moi
be in the field with q ticket. The
Democrats, with their Ubiquitous as
sessment laws, have disfranchised theii
voters and In their silence they are 8
standing protest against Democratic
mi ustice.

nstits Of Protection.

The "M Hing World" has been Civ
ing some statistics showing the com
narrative cost Of some leading articles OF
farm pro luce and consumption between
1876 and 1886, covering . space OIL
seventy years. Farmers who nave
been told by the advocates OF free trade
that they are the victims OF protection
should study the figures. Free traders
come with an array Of figures arranged
I'm such q manner rs to show how cloth
ing. blankets, nails and such every day
needed articles of consumption are
taxed under projection, and how cheap
these same articles would be II the tarb'
were repealed, or Mt least redac,d
They show the farmer how much tai
he must pay on his salt and how uucl
he must pay on his wifs's calico dress
how much more he must par for tn
blankets TO keep him warm in winter
what his own suit of clothes Is take,
TO keep up monopoltes and how, whel
he wants TO build house or barn, hi
nails and iron ara taxed 10 make tn
iron masters rich. All this sounds lik
strong, healthy Argument to the farmer
and we are not surprised that many o
them are carried away with 1t and de.
coived. But here are some compare
tive figures, given by the paper alluded
to, which should show the fallacy Of al
such free-trade, foolish arguments:

1t should be remembered that the
prices given In 1916 we're long before
the late civil war, when we had no war
tariff which the free traders 80 de-
nounce and when the farmers condi.
ton was surely not 30 good rs at the
present time, notwithstanding the com.
paratively low price of products II
will be seen from the price Of farm
produce that instead Of being red uced IL
&as materially increased under protec-
ton, while ct the same time plenty of
work and increased wages has enabled
worklngmsn to pay the increased prices,
live more comfortable than ut any time
in the nations history, have more
money deposited In savings banks and
building associations, and more of them
OWN their homes than ever before known
In the history Of the nation. But While
this has been the case In the matter OF
farm produce, the following table from
the same paper shows that the farmer
pays lees now for manufactured article,
he consumes than he did then;

The CITY has sustained q great loss
in more respects than one in the death
of John II, Adams. He allied the full
measure OF an active business man and
was Arm friend OF all moral reforms
that had for their object the elevation
of his fellow man and OF making society
better. He has been lowering between
life and death Cor long time, and his
decease WAS expected. His exalted
character in all the relations of life,

Sham Democracy,


The Democratic platform adopted at
Dover yesterday, instead OF containing
one word in favor of State reform,
points with pride TO the record OF the
Democratic party IN the State for the
last thirty years as a criterion for the
future. 1t favors Modification of the
tariff, bu. does not make the least allu-
sion TO the ftty thousand distrsnchlsed
citizens Of New Castle County. 1t
PRAISES Cleveland, but has nothing to
say In favor OF Constitutional reform.
For thirty years more the Democrats of
Delaware have decided that the State
shall be ruled as 1t has for thirty years
past, The fifty thous and disfIan Chi sed
citizens OF New Castle County are to
remain disfranchised until the humble
will reach one hundred thousand for
aught Democracy cares. The people
will still be denied the right to elect
their own county eff oers for many
years to come The Democracy have
declared that they want no change.
Even the Democratic delegates from
this city voted to wear the chains oil
inequality and slavery for an indefinite
future. Not word has been said In
favor OF an honest ballot, Of an homes,
assessment, OF an honest collection OF
taxes, of o reduction OF taxes on ind as.
tries, of increased representation, OF tbs
need Of o Constitutional Convention
NOR of encouragement to labor. Blu
there was one thing upon which tn,
convention was emphatic. Here 1t IL:
Resolved, We declare that We are i,
favor of rotation in office, and do here
by condemn reappointment to t.,
county building Offices.
Yes, the ''outs" want tug at tn
teat OF office. That is Of mere i'm
portance to them than reform. Civ
them the Offices, and let everythin
else slip. Such ia the Democracy {
Delaware. When will the people Sc
the sham posturing before the people
and turn from 1t in disgust?
For THE FIRST time Secretary Bay
ard is on his back in his own State, an
IL Is all his own fault. He favored tn
disfranchisement Of the Republicans b
the law he approved to disfranchis
them. This disfranchis ement was
boomerang to Mr.. Bsysrd. When tn
Republicans decided to put no Stat
ticket In the field Mr.. Bayard fell t
the ground of his own weight. Tn
Republican party, knocked PROSTATE |
the dust by Mr.. Bayard's own hands
looks mutsly through it's chains to M,
Bayard, and as he rolls over in the du,
1t has no sympathy for him but merel
says: All, brother Bayard, you kno
how 1t is yourself now.

The Pacific Coast Gum Chewer.

There is a ludicrous habit in this coun-
try, which shows how childish some Of
the people are. 1t is that Of chewing
gum. remember that Stephenson, the
novelist, in his "SilveradO Squatters,"
mentions that his gigantic Apollo in the
foothills chewed gum, and spat. 1t is, l
think, a habit imported from Missouri, or
else it was acquired among the foothills
when tobacco was scarce. But grown-up
Yankee people have engaged at the
pleasure. A somewhat noted Massa-
chusetts professor, who had lived here
several years, was surprised because /
did not chew gum. At Los Angeles
/ did a favor for q San Francisco practi-
cal politician; that is, l wrote for him q
letter which he himself could not write.
] had acquired q tOothache from drink
ing much ice water, and seeing him take
out a silver-plated box, l asked him for a
bit OF the tobacco. cts gum," he said.
