Della ware on Trial.
SDv M

No man
will be for Addicks who is not in some way
the immediate beneficiary of his corrupt
and disgraceful methods. Independent of
the scandal which comes to emphasize his
personal disqualification and to repel every
citizen who has any sense of private de-
cency and public honor, the pretensions of
this impudent jobber to be member of the
highest legislative body in the land are
so ludicrous and absurd that they could
secure no tolera:ion in any quarter except
for some personal consideration. But the
number thus Influenced is very limited
The great mass are untouched. The force
of an adverse and overmastering public
opinion remains. The UNIVERSAL conscious
ness of the motive and consideration which
alone explain any support of Addicks deep
ems and intensifes the general adherence
and the mercenaries make a great mistake
who do not reckon with the moral power of
such a sentiment.
The Republicans Of Delaware are on trial
The suggestion of possibility that such
iobber as Addicks could be chosen Senator
has aroused combined ridicule and indig-
nation all over the land. His record is
known. 1t will be uncovered. The news
papers of all parties are speaking with
unanimity. If the Republicans of Delaware
do not promptly and effectually stamp on
this corrupt and scandalous movement they
will infict inculcable injury on themselves
and their party. They WILL ALLEVIATE all
sympathy from outside and will destroy all
hope of further success at home. Let them
meet the just expectations of Republicans
throughout the country.

Can't Afford TO.

To advertise or not to advertise? is no
longer the question; at least not in its
broadest sense. Every man who keeps id
touch with the times recognizes and admits
the fact that advertising is to-day indispen-
sible to the successful conduct of business.
If individual cases there are still "hesi-
tants," it is safe to assume that they are
somewhat back of the times and not likely
to be missed in case of accident. To the
man who says he cannot afford to advertise
there is but one reply-You cannot aff,rd
not to advertise. You have, perhaps dis
pensed with advertising in the past and
managed to worry along quite comfortably;
but to-day it is different. To-day your
competitors are advertising and the public
has developed very decide preference for
advertised goods, so that really you are left
very little choice in the matter-Ex.
