Born Republican and Democratic com
mittees are confident Of success. One or
other is mistaken Either the Demo
cratic or the Republican ticket will be
beaten. They cannot both be successful
The Republicans claim everything but
give no reasons for their claims The
Democrats make equally liberal claims
and give their reasons for them. That
is a vast difference. We cannot expect
a party to acknowledge even an inevitable
defeat till it shall have happened In
New York the Republicans are claiming
victory. They never gained a victory
there except when Democratic dissen-
tions occurred. There is no dis
sention now. There is no chance
for trading Little or no chance
for bribery even. On what then do the Re-
publicans base their claims2 Surely not
on the popularity of President Harrison.
II is the same here. The Republican
party has made the worst possible rec
ords in the levy court and in the city
council of this city. Higginsism, which
has become a synonym for corruption,
has been rampant for two years and the
people are disgusted IN addition to that
Senator Higgins himself and his chief
lieutenant in the canvass. Preacher VIII
lis, have been caught in private, personal
enterprises which condemn them.
1t is scarcely possible to formulate by
pothesis on which the Republicans can
have any chance Of winning the electoral
vote of the state, unless wholesale bri
hery and fraud, such as those in which
they have been caughr and about which
the Democrats are forewarned, shall
prevail. 1t seems impossible that the
electoral vote Of Delaware can be bought
or stolen for the Republican candidates

AuABLITY and good humor should
prevail at the polls on Tuesday. The
agreement putting the preservation of
order under Sheriff Simmons, is wise and
fair. Sheriff Simmons commands the re
spect Of the people He says:

ficers at the polls, feel highly honored

ing me with the work of preserving
peace at the polls. / regard the respon-
sibility as great although feel it is an
acknowledgment of what / have always
endeavored TO be, an officer of the peo-
pie and not Of any political party. am
always delighted at the success Of the
Republican party but / would disdain
TO appoint a set of men of one political
stripe, partisans in fact, as peace officers
at an election by the people.
Those who know the man best believe
that he has the intelligence, the frmness
and the discretion to preserve order at
the polls. Everybody has confidence
enough in him to believe that he will not
be swayed by partisans or intimidated by
clustering little Mahafy. In that event
every man can afford to be patient, sensi-
BILE and forbearing at the polls, no matter
how anxious he may be to get in his vote
or how determined he may be that no un-
fair or Illegal challenge shall keepit out.
One great conservator Of the peace is a
mans own peaceable disposition. He
who is in an amiable frame of
mind he who cannot be dis
turbed by a drunken brawler need
have no fear Of being intimidated by a
partisan bully. If man goes to the
polls willing to await his turn, cheer
fully, he will not find any difficulty in
depositing his ballot II is every mans
duty to do this no matter what the in
convenience or what the personal annoy
ance He will be put himself under an
unpleasant suspicion if he stays away.

MONEY CAN'T BUY US.

The attempt to scare the Democrats of
Delaware has failed. Threats, arrests,
excessive bail, talk of shedding blood,
hints Of riots and riots themselves, depu-
ty marshals trying to enforce a Force
Bill that never passed, and the whole
paraphernalia of Higgins campaign of,in.
timidation, have had their day. They
have aroused Democrats to furious de.
termination. The blaze of Democracy s
anger is hot. But nobody is scared. The
attempt has failed Mahaffy is petulant
to find his occupation gone. That does
not matter. The Republican leaders
know that intimidation has failed: and
Mahaffy's marshals stand unsupported
and therefore harmless
Now the whole hope of the Republican
campaign hangs upon their corruption
fund. It is a big one. There is no
doubt about that. 1t is not less than
$60, 600 in Delaware They are trying to
use it in corrupting Democratic election
officers, Democratic workers and the So
called doubtful voters. There is no
doubt about their corrupt efforts. The
Democratic committees are informed of
their dealings. This campaign of cor
ruption is doomed to fail tomorrow, as
completely as the campaign Of intimida-
tion has already failed
Two years ago the Republicans had a
big corruption fund They had 500, 600
in Sussex alone But they did not carry
Sussex. Their money sticks in the
pockets of their workers. It is used to
pay off mortgages and settle store bills.
1t does not reach the doubtful and pur-
chasable voters. Then their workers
report that the Democrats had too
much money for them"
This year the corruption fund will be
neculiarly difficult to handle with effect.
The Democratic legislature has passed
the Australian ballot law. voters can Sc
curely vote as they choose without re-
gard to the money given them Floaters
will be on hand to take the $25 which
Republicans are offering for votes. But
those foaters will be mighty doubtful
voters all the same. In the secret booth
they will vote for, oh, we'll, suppose we
say the Prohibition ticket It will not
be the Republican ticket any how
The truth is that this state is Demo
cratic. The majority of the voters are
Democrats, and the political brains Of the
state are in the Democratic party. Our
leaders are not only purer and braver
than the Republicans they are also a
good deal smarter Republican money
bags are generous enough. They
furnish the Doodle freely. But their
political gang are lacking in honesty and
in wit to use it with effect. Delaware
can't be bought tomorrow. The full
truth of this editorial will be manifest on
Wednesday,
Now, Mr. Republican, we bid you good
bye. You have been very earnest, very
threatening, very corrupt; but you "art
not in it" at the round up That's all

and equitable arrangements made by the
commi tees of the two parties.
It may be said in advance that any inter-
ference, whatever, with the men offer
ing to vote or with officers of election by
either Of these discredited agents of the
Republican partisanship will not be in
the interest Of fair and orderly cleo
tion, but in the interest Of the particu-
lar candidates, whom these men have a
purely unofficial and personal determine
tion to assist in obtaining Office
The constables are officers of the state
appointed to resist and counteract those
baneful influences
If such services as Macallister and
Mahaffy are willing to perform for the
Republican candidates were not expected
Of them at the polls men of very
different characters would have been
appointed. Their appointments are
menaces to peace and good order.

A Great OIL s,r,,,o

PORTLAND, Ind, Nov. THE greatest
excitement that has ever been known in
the Indiana oil field exists here. A well
near Camden, on the Grissel farm. was
torpedoed and a solid stream of oil shot in
the air 100 feet above the derrick. The well
is flowing 1900 barrels a day. It belongs
TO Gibson & Giles, of Pittsburg. Oil men
from all over the territory are focking to
see the latest big strike.
