THE Sussex Countian, printed at
Laurel, Is a new candidate for public
favor and Democratic support which
seems to deserve and will, no doubt, OBJ
tain both. It is neat four-Rsge paper,
full Of fresh news and bristling with
rsttling editorial which bears indications
that the editor is perfectly able to cope
with his immediate Republican contem-
poraries who have been misrepresenting
the local situation. There, as every.
where, the Republican party having ig-
nored or betrayed all principles of Its
own is now engaged In misrepresenting
the principles of the Democratic party.
Failing in that or lacking the ability to
discuss any question on its merits. the
Republican papers resort to personal
abuse Of individual Democrats. It is not
worth while for self-respecting editor
TO attempt any defence Of himself, or his
party friends, from the attacks OF man
whose station in life, whose aims, In.
clinations and mental poverty are such
as TO necessitate resort to personal
abuse In lieu Of argument. 1t
is this sort Of despicable poll
tics, which in a measure, the Sussex
Countian feels called upon and is de
termined TO meet. II has the ability to
discuss public questions. hence there is
no necessity TO descend to this vulgarity
Of personal abuse That is not effective
in public affairs and it is not respectable
journalism. In setting its face steadily
towards respectability and calm-good
sense, the Sussex Countian will be able TO
Withstand all the mud throwing Of its
Republican contemporaries and at the
same time exercise wholesome in
auence in the community by the advocacy
OF true Democratic principles and the
cause Of the people.

YESTERDAY the Morning News made
some remarks on the crooked course Of
the Every Evening in maligning Demo
cratic officials The Every Evening re-
piled intimating that the Morning News
was very rash and also very impertinent
to refer to any difference between the
course Of the Every Evening when 1t
was fsttening on the sherifs printing
and when it was hankering for it and
growing lean and malicious because the
printing does not come. In this state Of
righteous indignation the Every evening
lost its temper and threatened to say
something if the Morning News did not
let II alone, did not hush. The Morn.
ing News did not hush it returned, in
fact, to the charge this morning quoting
the Every Evening and saying:
This paragraph Of June ii was aimed
at Henry D. Hickman and without Mr.
Hickman Mr. Lynch could not have been
nominated on Saturday. Almost all the
effective work for Mr.. Lynch was done
after Every Evenings vindictive assault
upon Mr.. Lynch's friends In the Levy
Court, and particularly his best friend
Henry d. Hickman, as printed above.
The Every Evening knows this as well
as and probably better than we do. and
the pain caused by this knowledge un-
doubtedly accounts for its bad language
This is an invitation for the Every
Evening to tel its "tale Of woe" and al
the same time to show shat sort Of stuff
--calibre, metal and pluck it-keeps in its

On the 2Sth Of April, referring to some
little ripples Of discontent-a few little
flecks Of whitish foam which appeared on
the Democratic surface caused by soma
rotten-log distractions In the stream
two years ago, the EVENING JOURNAL
said:
We assert again that the Democratic
party Is harmonious. There is nothing
to disturb its harmony except the selec-
tion of candidates AS the party Is a
party of principles it Is not to be dis
tHrbed by the candidates. Those who
feel that they cannot 60 into the conven-
tion with determination to abide 10y
ally by any candidate who may be nomi-
mated, have the privilege of an American
citizen of sitting on the curb.
stone while the procession goes by
There Is not a man in Delaware quite
large enough to dictate what the Demo
cratic party must do. There are some
really great men, and there are some
who esteem themselves great The great
men are too modest TO dictate, those who
esteem themselves great are too puny
and too self-contemplatiye
There Is nothing in the present situation
Of the Democratic party in Delaware to
excite alarm except the ghost Of a dead
faction. A ghost is the creature Of a
disordered imagination or shadow used
by the wicked to coerce the timid A
healthy, sober, sensible man should not
take fright at ghost.
That is all equally true now. The
nomination election here, with It's hot
contests, its unprecedented vote and the
good feeling with which its results have
been accepted, all proclaim that the
Democratic party is harmonious, health
full and fully determined to fight against
bossism and negroism. The members
have no 6ght among themselves.
