A nl.grncefnl stnt. I'D ADMIR-.

Replying tp some comments in the
Milford Chronicle, an Addicks organ,
upon the Senatorial situation, the SUSSEX
Republican Of Georgetown, Higgins
organ, uses the following language
For the past few weeks It has posed as
an Addicks organ and the Nelrs and Idgsr.
tiser cruelty intimales that there is Adj
dicks money IN u, and that the proprietor
only got S5J. We are inclined to think
that this Is mistake as Theodore Mr.
Townsend, editor Of the paporl is too fond
OF money to sell himself so cheap, Ger
tainly MIR. Addicks did not put 50 low an
estimate OH him as to offer him 500.
What commentary this Is upon the
sad effects Of the degrading squabble
over the Senatorship now being con-
Quoted BY the Higgins and Aldicks
forces at Dover. What disgraceful
imputation ii is that the editor of a
Delaware newspaper has been purchased
to use his influence in favor Of Mr..
Addicks for the paltry sum OF fifty
dollars.
We do not believe that the editor of
the Chronicle has been thus bought by
the Addicks interests. But in common
with all good citizens we deplore a
situation that gives rise to such degrad-
ing accusations. II is in no way credit
able to the good name and fame of che
State.
The Republican members OF the Leg.
stature may relieve the State of this
reproach by abandoning both Of the
Senatorial candidates whose personal
contentious have led to such state of
affairs. Let them drop both Addicks
and Higgins. The candidacy of neither
is creditable. and both may DO spared
with good grace. The Republican ma
jority of the General Assembly would
do credit TO itself and confer favor
upon the community by absolutely
ignoring Mr.. Higgins and Mr.. Addicks
as factors in the pending contest for the
Senatorship.

The New York Mercury has entered
upon the task Of securing an accurate
list of the old.schooi Democrats of every
State in the union, with their age and
place of birth, and the names of all the
Democratic Presidential candidates for
whom they have voted. The aim is to
hear from the old timers only, those
whose first votes were cast for Jackson,
or some of the Democratic candidates IN
campaigns preceding his. Such list,
accompanied by photographs and
sketches of many who have been firm
in the Democratic faith for over half a
century, will make some very interesting
issues Of the Mercury.

We do not think il the part of wisdom

with partisan and political mud and
should not be dragged into political
broils. A political leader cannot serve
his party when judicial robes impede
his movements, or when the dead hand
OF judicial propriety stays his progress.
But, above all things, the Democrats
should have made choice that would

elements that control the majority OF
