cheer and on the morning following the
next election your hearts wiz be jubil ant
with Joy of an old-time trsun5ph. This
state of things cannot coRtinue When

pass away with the qualification of the
desire or motive which prompted the
movement. Already the share Of the
fruit of this strange combination which
was promised Mr. Salisbury has turned
to ashes upon his pale and bloodless lips
and he feels that the Republicans have
deceived him.
Mr. Eli Salisbury we have no doubt
will undertake to excuse his treacherous
conduct by saying that the result in
Kent county was the effect Of the unit
rule and that he could not control It, He

He bought Kent county for the Repub
Leans and left il an easy job for them TO
carry Sussex, by lavish expenditure Of
money. There is no question that the
defeat Of the Democratic party III Kent
and Sussex counties was the result; of a
combination between the Saulsburys and
Republican leaders, and that Mr. Eli
Salisbury will be solely responsible for
the election of a Republican as successor
to himself in the United States Senate

How must he feel after having spent SO
much money in advertising himself
before the world as man
who has been a Democrat all his life
solely for revenue.
This nan has had the implicit conf
dcnce Of Democrats for the last thirty
years and they have always felt that they
could lay down to sleep with the con
seriousness that they, their party and its
principles, would be safely guarded while
he stood sentinel But, alas who ever
thought that he in the midst of vital
conflict, when great principles were
staked upon the result would abandon
his post Of duty and deliver his friends
into the camp OF his adversary? We
shall leave him to wrestle with the grave
responsibility which he has assumed.
True Cause Of Democratic Defeat.
Dover Delawarean.
For the first time in the states history
Delaware will have in the Senate of the
United States Republican Senator
While il was almost certainty that the
county of Kent would elect n Republican
delegation to the Legislature, as u rpbuke
to certain designing and scheming poll
ticians. the result, at first glance, in Sus-
sex was surprise, The Democrats in
Kent who caused the defeat of the unit
rule ticket did so openly and
above board. From the time of
the convention up to the day of
the election a large number Of Democrats
openly proclaimed their purpose of de
feating the ticket, so that the leaders Of
unit-ruleism had full warning of what
might be expected. therefore there need
not be any explanation given why defeat
was had in this county. In Sussex
county defeat was secured by the aid of
Republican money and the friends OF the
Kent county unit-rulers We make this
assertion not for the purpose Of decep-
ton, but upon the best authority. What
was the cause Of that action on the part
Of the unit-rulers2 Explanation
is simple. Believing that the
ticket in Kent was certain of being
elected, with that purpose which has
been their governing star throughout the
whole campaign-the sending OF Wolcott
TO the Senate-they set about to defeat
the ticket in Sussex for the sole reason
that the delegation was looked upon 10

Believing that the defeat Of the Legisla.
tive ticket in Sussex would deprive both
Sussex and Mr.. Salisbury Of any
chance of an election, and that IL
would leave clear sailing for James
L. Wolcott they stslSed their all
upon the throw of the die, and lost,
thereby delivering the state into Re
publican hands, to appease the self-con-
ceit and vaulting ambition of this man
Wolcott. As was expected, they who are
the sole cause of Democratic defeat are
cndeavoring TO shift the responsibility OF
defeat upon others than themselves.
There are, however, certain facts that
cannot be explained away There are
certain questions that cannot be
answered. In the politics Of Kont
for the last twelve years there
mas ueen no disturbance except that
raised by Wolcott and his followers In
the partys history in this county no one
was so rash who dared to advocate the
adoption Of a rule which would rob the
people of their rights except this man
Wolcott. In the political history Of the
state there has been no one who consid-
cred himself a leader that would cast
aside every consideration. who
would disrupt the party, who would
lead it TO defeat, for the sake of carrying
out his own personal schemes
except this man WOlcott. He, the au
thor Of these troubles which have in the
end brought disruption and defeat. in his
madness has not only pulled himself
down, but the party which has befriended
him SO much and so often, so that in the
future, in the eyes Of the honest and
true Democrats, who, on Tuesday last.
spurned him and his methods, he.
Living, shall forfeit fair renown
And, doubly dying, shall so down
10 the vile earth from which he sprung,
Unwept, unhOnored and unsung"

be utterly without principle, willing to
sacrifice, aye, and malign, his best friends
to his ambition is yyithout dopht ,,.all
