BRIGHT PROSPECTS OF THE peMoc-
RACY IN LITTLE DELAWARE.
The Republicans Trying TO Fxn,ain Away
tho Advance In Prices-The Boss
aud the Ex-Boss.
from Our Regular corre.ponann,.,

WAsH1SGToS, October 1i.-Senator
Blackburn has returned from Delaware
where he made number of speeches.
He says that everything is bright for the
Democracy in the little State, and that
the party will poll the old-time vote.
The chickering's have ceased, and the
lines have been closed mp, and every
thing is lovely. Delaware at present has
Republican in the United States Sem
ate in the person OF Mr.. Higgins. He
will be succeeded by a Democrat. He
would never have been elected but for
the foolish fight two years ago between
the Bayard and Salisbury factions.
REPUBLICAN ALARM.
The managers of the Republican cam
paign are so alarmed over the discomfort
that the Mckinley bill has caused that
they are flooding the country with circu-
lars intended to show that the new tariff
laws are not responsible for the advance
in prices. Within two weeks after the
enactment of the law the Republicans
are clearly on the defensive.
HIS ODD DRESS.
General Malone left town for few
days, but returned here yesterday wear
ing an oyercoat and a straw hat Those
who saw him enter his hotel thus arrayed
were somewhat amused, but the ex-
Boss OF the Virginia Republicans has
never been very "dudish in his
dress, and just now his mind is too
awfully disturbed over his treatment
by the Republicans in placing Langston
over him to give much concern to head
covering The white Republicans OF the
South who have been here lately are
highly incensed over the fact that the
Administration and the leaders in Con-
gress have set up Langston as the boss
of the party in Virginia, and they de-
clare that no self-respecting white man
in Virginia can now affiliate with the
Republican party. Many of the northern
Republicans also turn up their noses al
Langston now, and express regrets that
they were foolish enough to take him
up in defiance of the wishes OF General
Malone.
DEMOCRATIC GAINS.
Congressman Maish, of Pennsylvania
who is here, thinks the Democrats vii
gain two members of Congress in thai
State at the approaching election. and
that they have n fighting chance for two
more. He says that the revolt against
Delamater is wonderfully strong, anc
that Pattison is going to give the lie
pubIicans a close rub this year.
