ohi what i sublime Belierl

We say now that we do not believe that
there is a human being in Delaware that
believes that there was a deal or comhi-
nation between any Republican or Repub-
licans and any Democrat or Democrats.
We think that when Ben Watson said
that the Wolcott crowd offered them
deal that he did not tell the truth. We
do not believe that there was over deal
thought about by any Democrat Of either
faction We know that Democrats asked
Republicans to vote for our ticket on the
ground TINT there was no Republican
ticket We know that gentlemen on the
ticket sought Republican votes On the
express ground that the Republicans had
no Ticket ia the field. But who Is so igno.
rant Az To construc such a thing into Il
deal? We are aware that certain men.
who are circulating tickets with Demo
cratic nominees cut out said to Republi-
cans that their votes were not wanted or
desired for the ticket, or any portion Of
t. We know that the manager Of the
Index said To the Republicans while he
was circulating wildcat tickets, that Re
puhlicans had no right to vote on cleo
tion day We know further that one
leading Republican said publicly That he
should vote ON election day for this man
Dunn friend (meaning his especial friend
provided he would let him. The truth is
no Democrat can be found who ever was
approached or solicited to enter into Il
combination with any one 70 defeat any
portion Of the ticket These men who
are circulating such stuff are all known
MS common liars and debased wretches
without character, and whose word
would not be taken on any subject a
deal without one Democrat knowing Of
it, or one that was ever spoken TO about
t. Such trash to be believed by any
body Is too absurd to be talked about The
fact is that it is the intention Of a set Of
lSnaves and thieves who would rob in the
future as ia the past No decent Demo,
crat asserts and no respectable gentleman
believes it or eirculates such report. ~ Do

An EXCLUSIVE BEACH.
The Place to Eat Fish, Oysters, CLANS,
Terrnpin.

Aerrnpln.
SLAUGHTER BEACH, Del. August ia
The heaviest wind and rain storm Dre
vailed here last evening that the beach
has experienced for many wears The
storm came mp from the mouth of the
bay, which is nearly twenty-seyen
miles below, and appeared to hang
over this area for fully two hours. HI
which time the storm had become gener
ally over eastern Sussex. There was
some lightning, but the characteristics Of
the storm were the heavy wind and the
tremendous rain fall. The latter fell SO
fast that even in this sandy area it stood
in vast pools during the night The
storm which extended far inland was
however, violent only along the coast.
The heavy ladened trees of the peach or
chards in Slaughter and Cedar Necks
passed through it unscathed, although in
many instances the corn is beaten down.
Slaughter Beach is ten miles from Mil
ford and has been used for many years as
bathing resort by those Of the Milford
folk who indulge in the luxury of horse
and carriage. This fact kept the beach
somewhat exclusive But of late years
the virtues of its bathing beach and
its fishing grounds have become known
far and wide, and lovers Of good fishing
and good eating now come here not only
from all over the state, but even from
Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York,
The meals of the Slaughter Beach give
an accurate insight to the growing popu
larity Of the place. For supper last
evening, for example, when the
place was filled with visitors,
Host Reynolds set up crocus
and trout fish, oysters stewed,
clam fritters, soft she'll crabs and terra
pin, and roast chicken for the natives
The native does not care for fish and the
other products Of the bay. He
| lives on these when he cannot
get anything else but the
visitor displays better Judgment. Mr.
| Reynolds prides himself on feeding
his guests, and he feeds hundreds Of
them, npon his own products, with the
exception Of salt, sugar, condiments etc.
He cultivates the oyster in beds in front
of his hotel, and the boats, nets and
fishing tackle close by, tell where he gets
his endless supply Of fresh fish food
This beach which is only about one
fourth Of mile long contains in addi-
ion to the hotel and its out
buildings half dozen cottages
occupied by the Marshalls,
/ Richards Hollands and other Milford
families. But the entire property is
owned hy Host Reynolds. who, having
made fortune presumably, is going to
retire at the end of this season. This is
the place where Big Thursday, a day
that has become famous, is held It viii
be next Thursday, when thousands of the
country folk throughout the Necks along
this shore viii gather for holiday.
The charm Of this spot to the worldly
fishermen is the fact that it knows n,
Sunday. A half-mile from the beach is {
deep dyke, bridged over, and this is
the boundary beyond which thu
coming guest never bears his almanac
for when he gets to the beach all day
are alike He does on Sunday what h
would do on Saturday, for the simpl
reason that once there he forget
what day of the week it is.

A SONG OF DREAMS.

dream Of n merry child at play,
Glue eyed and fair, frolicsome, gay,
Glad as the birds in the sprngtime are, st
Sorrows aAoat like clouds afar,
Careless Of trouble untouched by fear.
Singing her way through the golden year.
A dream Of a woman, old and gray,
- nkled and bent, vending her way
Lonesomeiy toward the last milestone,
Where the grim. dark shadow Of death is thrown
Storm stained and weary, and worn With care
The candle Of life at its FINAL fare.
dream Of a grave in a churchyard lone,
Neglected, drcar, with weeds oergrown,
With only the chigp Of the crckets song,
As Il sings ia the grass the whole night long,
To break the silence that broods so deep
Where The WORKOUT soul and body sleep.

For love OF the living we take up our cross,
And strive to be cheerful and brave,
When hopes fondly cherished
Have faded and persisted,
And buried our heart in grave.
For ptill there are duties for as to perform,
A chance FOR more generous giving
To those who are left,
And when death has bercft
More closely we cling 70 the living.
We may feel that there's nothing remains Il
lac done,
That all need for eXcrtion Ia DER,
When our hands are unclnsnel
From the dear ones they grasped,
For whom they cnn labor no more;
But lie who sustans us In trials like these,
New strength and fresh energy giving,
Provides "a swift cure,
Aud our Ills we endure
with patience for love Of the living
Though deeply our hearts are attached 20 Ii,
