Mr.. EprToR REPuBLrclN:-wllly you
allow me space In your columns TO
answer tho question that Is now the
lending question in this cityy What
was the matter with the Democratic
party In this city on Saturday, tho
Sd OF JuneY / will say too much legis.
lation. too much Carpenter, too much
Diokey, Neary, Callahan and John
Pyle. at has-poor old relict OF stone
age-been commissioned to Leath.and
June Sd was only the beginning OF the
end of Delaware Democracy. Last
Saturday, June Sd, was the third time
that Democrats-who are Democrats
from prlnclple-have administered u
rebuke to ring bosses and family Cir
Giles In this city and county.
But, as they have learned. by bitter
experience, that as soon ms the self
respecting Democrats assist In driving
them from the Offices they pollute.
they scamDer off to Dover to be placed
lack, and now the respectable Demo-
caats of this city and county, TO the
number of at least one thousand. have
nude MP their minds, with the aid OF
tho best element of Democrats in the
lower counties. to change the pro.
gram at the capital. as there Is no way
to XII them of, except to elect a Re-
publican legislature and governor.
Any man with an ounce of brains
knows that In almost every Instance
OF government from Dover the ones
appointed arc those who could not be
elected dog .catcLers. 1t lie an old tru-
ism that Delaware has for many years
been cursed with legislation. but tho
last Legislature can boast OF having
whitowashed every one that ever as
semblod in Dover. The bills presented
there and the audaclty with which
they were urged by ring bosses and
family circles. certainly was an insult
to the intelligence of the nineteenth
century.
One would have thought from the
arguments OF the kid glove element
OF the machine, that II Joseph l.. Chr
penter was not placed back In that un-
american. undemocratic, monarchial
com mission, thnt the streets OF this
city would have by this time, been
swallowed up by an earthquake. can
assure the ring bOsses that tho major.
ity OF tho masses OF the Dem ocrats,
who win victories and pay taxes have
inaGe up their minds that change
must come, and como 1t will In No.
vernber OF 1904. AS reform cannot be
hud in the Democratic party they will
try some other party. Tho Republi-
cans could have had 1000 majority on
June Sd, as easily as what they did
have, II they had half turned out and
voted, as 1t was common sight to
see old Democrats so up ami vote d
Republican ticket.
The bosses will lind that the voters
who do not-like barnacles-hang on
to the narty for plumber. are tired OF
paying them-the bosscs-from fifty to
one hundred Thousand dollars Tor be-
ing Democrats. The promises and
lies OF 1892 will not win again in 1894
All the Republican party mas got to
do is to come to the front with honest,
respectable candidates, and not try TO
match tho larDacles of the Demo.
cratic party, and In the next campaign
they will sweep this State, as the
Democrats have found out that a
leach will suck full and drop off, bnt
barnacle has to DO knocked of.
So tho blow on June Sd was only
from Hight weight, but In November,
1894, the bosses will feel the blow Of
the champion heavy weight-that is
the outraged and indignant Demo.
cratic yoters-who do not live by
Office. These are some of tho views
OF Il JEFFERSON DEMOCRAT.
