Both Mr. Grape and Mr.. Allen are gen.

gone to Mr.. Allen apparently because of a
belief that, as the younger and more vigor-

canvass. The contest between the friends
Of Mr.. Grape and Mr.. Allen ha, been
thoroughly good humored one 1t leaves
no heart-burning behind it, There is entire
acquiescence in the decision of the con-

to devote his whole time and energies
from now until election to the canvass 1t
is the expectation that there will be an
unusually live and aggressive Republican
campaign, at the end of which Governor

The Democratic fight against Repre-

Democratic candidate for Speaker Of the
House is becoming vicious. There is no
need for Republicans to take any part in
this fight. Let it go on and the people
will soon be convinced. as many Of them
already are, that no Democrat yet men
toned has the necessary qualifications to
make good Speaker, and We have no
hesitation in predicting that long before

practically demonstrated, no matter who
may be elected

1t is pleasing news to learn that Post
master General Wanamsker's experiment
of extending the free delivery of mail
matter to small towns is likely to prove
successful. At some Of the places where
the experimental service is being tried the
increase in revenues has been consider
ably more than enough to meet the in
creased expenditure, and at all there has
been an increase, and Mr.. Wanamaker Is
now at work upon a comprehensive
scheme for free delivery in all the small
towns and villages. which Congress will
be asked to adopt This is an improve
ment that is much needed and one that
any Official might be proud of having orig
mated. OF course the Democratic Con
gress. with its accustomed policy of OBJ
struction, may refuse to provide for
this Improvement. If it does it will
only by its refusal furnish another
argument for the election of a Republican
House of Representatives a. well as a

necessary traits in the makeup of a true
