The Delaware Democrats will probably
admit without controversy that il Della

Anthony Higgins is the best man for the
place.-NelO York SWg.
The New York Sun is very poor
authority OH what Delaware Democrats
think. Its editor, the able and famous
Dana, has two personal friends in this
State When they are in New York it
is often the happy privilege of these
friends to enjoy Mr.. Dana's society
with their legs beneath his hospitable
mahogany. One Of these two friends
happens to be Senator Anthony EIig-
gins, and the other is u close political
associate Of Senator Higgins. Under
the circumstances, it is natural enough
for the New York Sun to get its view
of Delaware politics through glasses
that make things look very different
from the way they appear to Delaware
Democrats. Mr.. Higgins in the course
of their friendly chats doubtless gives
Mr.. Dana many little pointers concern
ing Democratic sentiment and Demo-
cratic prospects in Delaware, while Mr..
Dana in return lets Mr.. Higgins into
the secrets of New York Republicans
The public has known for more than
two years that Mr.. Dana sometimes leads
Mr.. Higgins astray in regard to the New
York situation, for OH Thursday night
October 10, 1899, Mr.. Higgins remarked
elegantly and confidently to Major
Wootten: "Dana's got the CUTS of Tam
many; and Dana says we'll carry it." Tho

We are in for movement, heart and
soul, to put q stop--an effective stop
TO all vote buying and other forms Of
corruption at elections in Delaware.
The first step in such q movement
seems to be TO bring the actual condition
of affairs at the recent election in Kent
and Sussex counties home TO the posi-
tive knowledge Of the people.
There was corruption enough and to
spare in New Castle county; but it was
In the two lower counties that the thing
became so open and outrageous that il
will shock the conscience of every
honest man who learns Its details.
Something more positive and definite
is needed than newspaper articles and
charges and counter charges between
politicians and anonymous writers Of
communications TO the press. The thing
should be Investigated and laid bare in
sworn evidence before some proper
tribunal.
We understand that certain Democrats
and conservative citizens in Sussex
county propose to take the needed steps 10
drag the hideous corruption that has over.
run their county, to the bar of public opin-
ion. In the proper sense Of the word
they had no election in Sussex. The
trivial minded have called it farce in.
stead OF al election. To us it seem:
more appropriate to call it cruel and
hollow mockery of an election. The
corruptonists erected an auction block
aud on 1t sold all that is valuable in free
institutions.
The greatest Irregularities in conduct
Ing the voting were perpetrated, Away
Irregularities that helped and fostereC
the vote buying.
To the men who propose to drag thi
monster of corruption into the daylight
this journal, ever on the side of wha
is right as we are able to see the right
will extend its help and sympathy. w
hope they will be able to prove in wa,
that all may understand the great wronl
that has been done IN their county.

line. They will not endure any crooked
moss in the count They will not put up
with any going behind the returns.
They will not tolerate efforts to reverse
the decisions made at the polls.
If the Republicans Of Delaware know
when they arc well off, they will take
what the people gave them on election
day and be grateful therefore and there
with be content. The people gave them
a Congressman and a Governor who
will have host of appointments to
make. They gavo them all three of the
sheriffs and other minor officers. They
gave them fifteen OF tho twenty.onc
members Of tho House OF Representa-
tives and four of the nine members of
the Senate. That gives them majority
on joint ballot and enables them TO elect
a United States Senator to succeed Sena-
tor Higgins. Everything considered the
people were very generous 20 the Re.
publicans of Delaware on election day.
But the people did not give the Re-
puoiiShuS hlaJoiity VI bhS otutS t'tHhNV'
They left that in the hands of the Demo-
Gratis. Since the people did not give i.
TO them, the Republicans must not take
hold of the State Senate.
Public opinion will condemn with
irresistible force every effort to take
more than the people willingly gave.
Cool headed judgment says that such an
effort will in the first placc fail aud in
the second place utterly ruin the men
and the party who make it. We fear
that tho first taste Of power has gone
like new wine to tho heads Of those
whose thoughts are now hot with tho
notion of stealing the Senate of Della.

Perhaps, after all, VIC need not worry
much because Of this scheme which the
schemers are trying 10 hatch. II is pos
sibly an added egg they are keeping
warm. No chicken will como from it
capable of growing into cock that will
fight. The people have given the Dem
ocrats a majority in the State Senate,

keep it,

The MAJORITY in the sIale senate.

1t is whispered that the Republicans
are Matching some scheme to get control
Of the State Senate. Some such sug-
gestion crops out here and there in the
Republican papers.
Parson Bach, who does more than his
share in Matching disreputable schemes
for his party, says that "thc Republicans
must take hold Of the State Senate in
sclt.drrcnce."
We suppose that this talk about seat.
ing, by hook OF crook, majority in the
Senate, is thrown out as fceler to test
public opinion and to see how tolerant
it would be towards an effort in that di
rection. If they thought that the effort
could succeed, there arc Republicans in
this State neither too timid nor too good
to undertake to displac9 the Democrats
who were elected to the Senate aud to
scat the Republicans who were defeated.
They arc desperately provoked to find
that the Democratic mujority in that
body will be able to balK all their move.

Is aIr. Higgins their Logical Candidate?
Senator Anthony Higgins is a candi.
date for reelection. That fact makes 1t
not only proper but necessary for this
journal to examine and discuss his
character and record as a public man.
Although it is painful to speak with dis
approval of any man, because words SO
spoken are apt to lie irritating to the
mans own scnsibilities and distasteful
10 his friends, nevertheless Il public
aaty can not on that account be sighted
or passed over.
A marked characteristic Of Mr.. Hig-
gins record is his exceeding bitterness
of spirit and persistent rancor towards
men vino do not wear collar in token
of admiration for him. He has shown
this in his own party, not only towards
such men as Mr.. Bird and Mr. Massey,
but towards scores Of less prominent
Republicans who refuse to bend the
knee at his shrine. All of his party assoc
ciates know that unless they are out and
out Higgins men, no consideration can
be expected from him. Towards Demo-
Gratis his words are wormwoud amt his
thoughts are gall. Mr.. Bayard, in par

and envious hate.
