MODERN METHODS IN
MERCHANDISE.
rHE LARGE IDEA in our

THE LARGE IDEA in our
l offering of merchandise
at this period of the year is
to turn to account the condi-
tons which under old notions
made the Mid-Winter dull.
Our modern methods admit
no idlenoss, tolerate no mac
ton. Ceaseless activity is
reasonable, essential from all
points, ethical, economic,
humanitarian. Good for all
concerned. We might have
more to say about that were
this not an advertisement.
When demand slackens
good bargains come, holders,
want to sell. 1t is a Mid
Winter chance. We improve
it for you. Hence the great
income and outgo of goods at
prices you never used to
dream of, much less see. The
great Illustration of this you
may observe here daily III
the sales of the White Fair
Muslin Underwear, Linens
and White Goods.
Other examples will fall
into line Silks, Fln-
neIs, Dress Goods, and the
same will be true all day and
every day all through Jmu.
airy.
Important but merely i'll
cidental is the stock review
which comes with the New
Year. Any stulfs or thing.
Of lingering propensities are
then invited out. We spoct
the parting with such win
ming prices that you ar,
charmed, as you ought to be
and make friends OF the Bar
gains. And so there ar,
Wraps and Jackets, certain
kinds OF mems Overshoes
House Furnishing things
and many other items tina
mean money out for us bu
in for you.
II The Mid Winter period

Greeley campaign when naouy Demo
Gratis declined TO vote and accounts
for the falling on In that vote; in 1874
Il was Il, eps; In 1870 II was IS. 100. The
Democratic vote was regular with the
exception referred to. Let Us look ut
the Republican vote in those years. In
1870 1t was l0,e01; In 1872 it was 1873,
this being the Greeley campaign when
the Republicans carried tha State; in
1874 it was II, oa4; in 1875 1t was 1852.
The DISTINGUISHING mill had begun to
get in its line work.
In 1878, the machine got into fun
operation and gave little touch OF
its power as il simply TO show what it
could do when 1t tried. A total of
only IS, SAC votes was polled that year,
a falling on of l0,557 from the year
before. The falling of OF the Demo-
cratic vote was only 1855. SO com
pletely had the Democratic machine
done its work that the Republicans
nominated no ticket and the Green
hackers took the field and polled Z, 966
votes. The machine overdid its work
at this time so eiIeetually that even
theDcmocrats were slow about voting.
A few more trials of this kind would
have brought Delaware down to a level
with Georgia, where sometimes less
than thousand votes elects Con-
gresham.
A general assessment put the Repub-
LEANS on the assessment lists for 1880.
In that year the total vote of tho State
was 20, 29S; in 1882, 1t was 81 1888: In 1884,
it was 90, T24; in 1886, it was 1852; in
1883, 1t was 2s,964, and in 1890 1t was
"a, no. See how the totals fluctuate!
In 1882 when there was no Presidential
election, It was 3l,2o3, and in 1888,
when there was Presidential election
there were but Is, 904 votes cast.
Let us look at the party in these
years: In 1850, the Democrats polled
1906 votes; in 1882, 1865; in 1884,
1854; in 1886, H. 1856; in 1855, 16,4l2
and in 1890, 11,742. See how regular
the vote runs and increases pro rata
with the population,
Let us look at the Republican vote
In 1850 it was ti,332; in 1889, lI,6l0; in
1884 Il dropped, through shameful dis
Embellishments, to l2t170; in 1856 the
Republicans were so DISTINGUISHED that
they put no ticket in the field, and tho
Temperance party nominated n candi
date, who polled 9,4O6 votes. In lSS,
the Republicans, though terribly Grip
Piled by the DISTINGUISHING iuggernaut
put ticket in the field and police
12,552 votes, which was less by LIS
votes than they cast eight years be
fore.
In the late election, 1890, theRepub
leans fought the machine so hard tina
they managed to poll 1880 votes, bu
