Public Sentiment.
AS EXPRESSED IN DELAWARE PAPERS.
Make Success Sure.


But, in spite of our excellent record
in the past, the Democratic majority in
Delaware has for several years been
growing less and less. There are several
reasons for this, so we'll known that it
is scarcely necessary to mention-mucb
less discuss-them. In the first place
party ties everywhere have been grow
ing more lax. Then we have had dis
sensions in our ranks, which have had
the lamentable effect of estranging from
the party. Nor can we ignore the
effect produced by the lavish use of
money for corrupt purposes by the Re-
publican party. From these various
causes the Democratic majority in
Delaware has dwindled to such small
figure that nomination can no longer
be regarded as equivalent to an cleo
ton. In the coming contest the Demo.
cratic party will labor under the al
ditional disadvantage of the presen,
hard times. True it is not responsible;
but it is perhaps natural for the discon.
tented and unemployed to blame the
party in power for their mislOrtunes, and
the constant false assertion by our politi
cal opponents that the Democrats are
responsible will doubtless find some be.
levers.

The Political Outlook.

NOIulLB news.
AS the weather grows warmer the
political pot begins to bell in Delaware.
Appearances indicate that it will con-
tinue to boil until after the election. bv
which time there will have been pre-
pared pot of political soup with the
Democratic candidates as the principal
ingredients. At this time the Demo
Gratis in this city are cOntending that
they will win. They are basing this
opinion on their estimate of the strength
of the Prohibition party in the State.
1t is claimed by the Democrats, private
ly, that the Prohibitionists will poll as
many votes this year as they did at the
last election, when, as the Democrats
admit, they defeated the Republican
party and gave the Democrats a new
lease of power. Some of the Demo
Gratis are also laughing over the laws
which were enacted by the last General
Assembly concerning the sale ofintoxi-
eating liquors, after the Prohibitionists
had retained the Democrats in power.
One of these bills was to reduce the
tax on distilleries, so that whiskev
could be made in this State. 1t never
could be made here before. Another
law was the one known as''the growler
law" This is the law which makes it
possible for the saloOn-keepers to sell
beer and whiskey in kettles and which
has made the sight of children going in
and out of saloons in this city a com.
mon one.

On last Monday quite number OF
friends of Swan Lofstedt met at his home
witha few appropriate gifts as tokens Of
their kindly regards, this being the silver
anniversary OF their marriage. All
would have passed off smoothly had Mr..
Lofstedt not refused to play second IN
the comedy. It is as hard to warm some
people up to the social side of life as it Is
to resuscitate an Egyptian mummy.
Withall the youngsters had a jolly time.
The prevailing topic here at this time
is the revival meeting now going on IN
District No. 4, conducted by Rev. James.
This series of meetings has been charac-
terized with much more than ordinary
interest, and has resulted in bringing
about the conversion of some twenty
three or twenty-four-among them are
some of our brightest and best young
people. Rev. James seems especially
fitted for this kind of work. We are glad
to note so magnificent a reward for his
zeal and labor. kETcHUM.

Senator Wilcockson says the people Of
Logan county have very warm side for
Lee Monroe.
Judge Harlan, of Wa-Keeney, was a
caller yesterday. The Judge has de-
cided to contest for the republican NOM
ination for judge. This is entirely a
matter for Trego county to settle.
The democrats of this county have
one safe way of rebuking the interior
ence of Register Frakes in the affairs of
district in which he does not belong
and that is to vote the republican ticket.
Some of the Salina boys stuffed a
dummy and sat it up against window
in the ladies dressing room of the opera
house. When the theatrical people dis
covered ''peeping Tom" they threw
water on him and then sailed out with
clubs. The boys laughed.
Senator Martin turned Hill Wilson
out in the spring time, gentle Annie,
and it would but be poetic justice to
send Hill Wilson down to Topeka when
the icy cookies of winter fasten upon
the frame of Martin and let him, too,
play part in the bounce act.

Ellis county with her 655 democrats
is not in it. You see the matter stands
like this: Mr.. Saum was hungry for Of
fee when prophet Cleveland took his
chair, and he was a standing candidate
for register of the land office. So was
Col. Reynolds. To settle hostilities,
Grover picked on a dark horse and
Abram Frakes was given the job. At
this juncture Col. Reynolds came out
a blooming candidate for receiver, to
which Office he was finally appointed.
This leaves Mr.. Saum out in the cold
and still hungry. To appease his appe-
tite, Abram Frakes will use the land Of
fee patronage to compel the populists
to endorse Saum for district judge. For
example the Sharon Springs Voice is
given the final proofs, in return for
which the Voice is anxious to support
anyone Register Frakes may name. He
has named Saum, and the populists in
this neck of the woods are for Saum
first, last and all the time.-Sharon
