lei impossible for the Republicans to at
tack the policy of the Democratic party
Of Delaware; it is impossible for them to
defend the policy Of their own party.
They attack few men of the Democratic
party, while they ignore the settled pol
icy of their entire party.
AS a matter of the separate sin of in
dividual members of their respective
parties, this Dougherty Reynolds cor
pondence is no worse than the
intense bitterness, or the shrewd
plan of newspaper batting which
have adorned and crowned the search
Of Mr. Sperry to obtain an Office
from Senator Higgins The Dougherty-
Reynolds letter is the plan adopted by
one set Of politicians TO make an Office
ft the applicant, while the Sperry bait
ing Of Higgins is another plan adopted
by another set A man may judge of
the guilt or innocence of the respective
parties, with the plan which succeeded
and the plan which did not succeed. as
his tastes dictate The EVENING
JOURNAL condemns both.
Mr. Sperry probably feels holer and
better than "Shan" Dougherty; Senator
Higgins probably strikes his breast with
his ice-bestowing palms, lifts
his admiring eyes to the shrine
from which the Presbyterian
elder has been dealing out rewards with
cabinet positions and judgeships attached
and, praying i'm loud voice, says 'Be-
hold Oh Benjamin, how infinitely bet
ter am than those poor Democrats who
have offered a position which they cannot
give / have provided for all the men
who have made themselves obnoxious to
the people. valuable to the Republican
cause and escaped the penitentiary. l

washed others. With your august and
mighty handy help shall continue the
glorious work till every member of the
Republican party in Delaware is hushed

help me Bach.
The difference is that this Dougherty-
Reynolds matter was not successful, was
probably never intended to be consum-
mated. 1t was simply a sporadic attack
upon two members of one party of a
disease which corrupts and disgraces the
entire body of the Republican party here
and everywhere The Democrats con-
denim and win cure the one case and
prevent the ravages of political corrup-
ton from extending throughout their
family; while the other encampment
fattens while it feeds on the seizure of
public offices to be used as private snaps
and distributed as public plumber.
Ofice-brokerage is a policy with the
Republicans; the worst that can be said
is that there is some fear that it may
break out at times among Democrats. It
can never become a Democratic policy.

flag; a Democrat may catch the disease

is a living embodiment of Flanaganism

view.

SOME persons who are suspiciously
anxious to prophesy good things of the
Mckinley tariff do not wish TO proclaim
the fact that there is 70 cents per ton
protection on coal TO enable the employers
TO pay the difference between American
wages and European wages, just at this
time when there is a war in Tennessee
because the employers are hiring convict
labor in competition with free

that both houses Of Congress had agreed
upon 80 cents a ton when BILLY" Malone.

cents. Billy" was a mine owner and he
was anxious 20 pay more difference. If
that tax does not do what the protection
