Time % pause nna RslIeet.

Five days intervene between this and
the Democratic State convention. The
men who are urging the nomination Of
Mr. Samuel Bancroft, Jr, as the Demo-
cratic Congressional candidate have
time to pause and reflect before they
commit the fatal blunder Of carrying out
their programme and loading the party
with such man. II they are guided by
reason and have the good of the party at
heart they viii withdraw him, II they
are guided by obstinacy and If ulterior
and mereenary motives constitute the
handspring Of their movement, It re-

minister rebuke salutary and un-
mlstaksbe Ia its character. There can
be no half way measures. This Is no
time Tor temporizing,
Mr. Samuel Bancroft Jr., while ac-
ceptable to e few men, who have motives
of their own, Is not acceptable either to
the Democratic party OF 20 the people Of
Delaware, and they will not send him TO
Congress.
The wheel Of politics has many turus.
Its motive power lies in the mass Of the
people Men who are up to-day 20 down
to morrow, and almost invariably be-
cause they disregard the wishes Of their
constituents, or those Of the people at
large When four o. Eve men, whom
their party has placed in power, come to
thst stage where they think that they
are bigger than those to whom they owe
their political existence and are at
liberty to drive, lead or bstray them as
they see fit, 1t Ia time for that party to
convince them that there never was an
Indispensable man or set OF men, and
taking the wheel in hand, turn them
down and bring others, fully as capable
and less arrogant, to the top.
Such process Is as old as the world.
" began with Adan, who forgot his
Creator, extended through all ages and
forms Of whether auto
cratic, monsrchcd or republican-and

many instances the changes were effected
by sanguinary revolution and In others
by the less sanguirary but equal salu
tary method Of the exercise OF the cleo
tive franchise.
Delaware is no exception to the rule
We do not have to 20 back many years
to discover It, and the Democratic re-.
sentiment at that time was made manifest
for an offense much less reprehensiple
than that Of forcing Republican on the
ticket to the exclusion Of five tried and
true Democrats.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.-The singu-

The objections on which he lays stress

against any effective statute for keeping
anarchists out Of the country TO put
the execution OF such statute in the
