Esq, spoke for the Democrats, Benia-

1t was a sad spectacle for Democrats
to see at the Magnolia meeting n
prominent speaker running from store
to store begging life long Democrats to
come out and hear him crate on the
virtues Of unit rule Democracy. Sad
days indeed for the once proud Dem
ocracy of old Kent county, when the
great Adonis has to beg men to listen
to his piece.-DelaiOarean.
1t is stated on excellent authority
that General II. r. Kenney said that
he believed " the Kent county ticket is
beaten as sure as there is a God in

single man in East Dover who had

Baynard's Big Day with the Rabbits

-'~J -@1'@ - y 10 10y WA144 0lAC 4eesDO1JS,
Samuel H. Baynard, of Wilmington.
is the boss" gunner of the season. or
at least he heads the list in narrating
the wonderful feats of his gunning
party. He came to Smyrna on Friday
evening, as good naturcd and jolly as
ever, and it didn't take our reporter
long to worm out of him why he was
away from the 9TH and Market streets
handsome jewelry establishment. He
had been with three other gay VIII
mingtOnians down on the ChesaDeake
for a weeks outing at cunning, with
headquarters at Oxford. They had
been around on the main land for two
or three days as weather permitted
picking up Il bird and a rabbit here
and there, but with a pungy and Mr.
BIS brothers for guides. on Wednesday
they struck out in the bay for Sharp's
island, some six miles distant. This
island has surface of about 400 acres
with a single farmers family and the
Light House keeper on it.
Putting up at the farm house for the
night, with an early breakfast and per
mission to bang away at all the game
they saw, they started out at seven
o'clock for full days sport, and here
comes the marvellous part of it. They
hadn't got but a few hundred wards
from the house before the two dous
entered pine thicket and the fun he
gan. The rabbits that had never had
gunner after them before wouId
come out to the clearing and stare at
the sportsmen while they in turn
Knocked the cotton tails over before
they had time to take in the situation.
one OF the gunners took his seat on a
log and killed % before he left his seat.
" Sam" was put in the worst predica-
ment of his life as a sportsman-fve
rabbits at diflereus angles of vision but
all IN good range, and the difficulty in
making choice Of the lot to first level
his gun upon. He says he was never
50 nearly parallized before in his life.
However, to make long story short.
when they had shot until they were
tired and having more game than they
knew what to do with, they stopped
and counted up the spoils, and found
thaG between seven and one o'clock
they had killed one hundred and eiob-
teen rabbits. When collected together
they filed three barrels, one of which
was shipped to Wilmington to one of
the party who had returned two or
three days before, sick. to prove to him
they were not lying about that DAYS
sport.
The farmer assured the party that
the island was entirely bare of rabbits
when single pair were put on there
two years ago for breeding purposes
and these were all their progeny
They were estimated to be fully 1000 |
In number when these gunners got
among them. "Sam" admits it sounds
IKE Fairy tale, but every word of it.
ne says, is as true as preaching, and |

had in his life, 'o'

WE did not, in the single paragraph
we wrote last week, ending with a
quotation from the Record, expect to so
work on our young friend as to cause
him to write a column in reply, and we
certainly did not expect such a frank
confession from him that he had been
acting in the role of DR.. Jeckyll and
Mr.. Hyde, viz: that he personated DIR.
Jeckyll by being for local option up
till election day, and on that day DR..
Jeckyll's other double, Mr.. HYDE. bv
voting as far away from local option as
possible. The editor says " the Record
has been under the present manage
ment consistently local option paper. y
statement we do not controvert. but
on the other hand applaud him for it,
but here again he brings in the double
above referred to by making the paper
one thing and himself another. The
paper can't vote, the editor can: thew
are one before election day, but on
that day they separate widely. Now.
this being the case, the question is.
why should he raise an issue and
pitch into" the editor of the TIMES
Tor supporting a ticket that has prom
ised local option, and call it a "sur-
render of loudly professed reform
principles" and ''its pretensions of two
years ago hollow and insincere," while
he, according to his own declaration
was in favor OF the same thing. but
steadily votes in the opposite direction ?
1t seems to us the editor of the Record
has too many doubles to set himself IN
as critic Of others on the temperance
question. We would rather see him
where he is, however, though he NAV
stumble and fall dozen times, than to
see him warning against the TEMPER
ance Reform, as the editors Of so many
political papers seem to feel it their
duty to do. But before he assumes
the position Of high cockalorum critic
ne had better take lesson or two of
Mr. coursey or any one else whose
years in the fight outnumber his wears
of adolescent reflection.
The editor Of the Record (aside from,
the political fling that most probably
prompted the first criticism) has doubt
less been laboring under a misappre-
hension Of the real situation. He as
sumes that the Temperance Reform
party Of two years ago was the Third
Party. It had nothing to do with the
latter party: ifit had any sponsor it
was the State Temperance Alliance a
non-political organization which did
not we think connect itself with the
national Prohibition Party until the
past winter. The men who had been
acting in the temperance movement in
the interest Of prohibition had been
trying for years, as Mr.. Coursev saws
to induce one or both Of the old nartias
to espouse their cause, and the Fem
perance Reform party Of two years aoo
was brought into existence becapsa NJ
only party that could, the Democratic
party, wouldn'ti and having no other
party to appeal to, they set up for
themselves The Republican party
this year was resuscitated into life, and
with It's new habiliamepts was that Of
she endorsement Of local option. Mr..
Couraey considered it entirely c0nsis-

THE attention of our readers, those
opposed or Indifferent to Prohibition
rather than those who have been favor
ing it, is asked to the article on our first
page describing the working of the
Law in Kansas. 1t is written by Rev.
D. G. Ridgway, formerly of the Will
mingtOn Conference, who has evidently
given us an unbiased and unvarnished
statement of how Prohibition does
Prohibit" as effectually as the statutes
against theft, murder or any other law
prohibits their violation.

THE hope and expectation of the
more conservative members of the
Democratic party that the difficulties
in Kent county would be over be-
fore the election, is now believed to be
past realization. In fact the breach
rather widens than closes, and the
present indications are that one faction
will neutralize the other on election
day.
