IMPARTIAL citizens cannot do other
wise than lament the actions Of Captain
Mitchell as indicating the prevalent
tendency Of the Republican party. The
actions Of Cotton In the November
election, the Incident Of the busy and
offensive fllttle Samuel N. Trump in
interfering with the officers at the polls

Republican primary, the appearance OF
Addicks's money in all local contests and
now the massing of the negroes under
Bach TO be used by the Mitchells at the
polls are ali the conspicuous events only

Whatever feeble apologies may be offered
for Mitchell and Cotton are Of little
moment when the general trend of the
Republican party Is downward. The
leaders are in disgrace. Excepting
Senator Higgins, who is the most un
popular man In Delaware, they
have neither ability nor responsibility
Several Of the most prominent cannot be
relied upon to pay for load Of coal and
their personal regulations are as bank

ereAt Possibilities for Evil.

hfddletown Transcript
Councilman Cotton who has gained Sc
unsavory reputation as a carpet -bagge1
aud unprincipled ward worker, stood by
with man known as Captain Edmund
Mitchell, Jr and helped the negroes to
obstruct the window and intimidate the
election officers, while police officers of the
city sworn TO do their duty actually re-
fused TO protect the inspector in the dis
charge of his duties When the election
WAS over these persons were invited to
address the young Republicans who went
out TO serengde the successful candidates.
BY such methods the Republican victory
was gained and Ia such way was Ii
celebrated. The truth of the matter is
that minority of the intelligent portion
OF the people of Wilmington aided by the
votes OF iguoraut negroes have overruled
The wishes of greater number OF people
equally intelligent This alliance Of a
few intelligent persons with the negro
voters Is menace TO good government
and condition which the founders of
our system of government never contem
plated 1t has risen within the last twenty
years and within the next twenty years
will either cause dissolution of our gov
eminent or scattering of the negro vote
amongst the various political parties
The possibilities for evil under present
conditions are great; few of sush men
as those who have acted the part of in
timidators and general rascals at the city
election will generally boss the persons
elected through their nefarious practices.
In the arrest Of Mitchell we see promise
OF just punishment for evil deeds and
the Republicans thI eaten to arrest Deno
Gratis whom they charged with certain
crimes. BY these threats they hope TO
avoid the arrest and punishment OF thei-
swn criminals. lftheir is any dishonesty
let II be punished; let not the political |
leaning Of any man insure him against |
punishment for crimes committed.

THE pulpit has begun on the Prince Of
Wales. Dr. Parker Of the City Temple,
London, delivered sensational sermon
on the baccarat scandal declaring that
not man nor woman connected with
the affair had retired with the slightest
honor There nigh be honor among
thieves, but there was apparently not
even ctvility among gamblers, and Sir
William Gordon Cumming had been
used with contemplate meanness by his
companions. Gambling, remarked the
preacher, does not add, to say the least
to the security Of the throne and with
this thought in mind he fervently
prayed "Long live the Queen. !"
DR.. Parker seems to fail to re
member that Cumming was
not only gambling, but cheating too.
Cumming added to the practice for
which DR. Parker blamed the Prince OF
Wales and all others so severely that
sinking, eowardly, thievish practice
OF cheating. Aud yet DR.. Parker makes
hero Of him in saying that he was
treated with Contemplate meanness y
It seems curious logic that absolves the
man Of greater crime because he added
that to less crime Another curlons
thing is that DR.. Parker seems TO wish
the succession to the throne 70 skin
Albert Edward and 60 to his son Alfred
Victor, almost an imbecile. who has
earned the sobriquet OF Cuffs and

preacher has allowed his very proper
hatred Of gambling to steal away his good
sense and his reason too.
