THE POLITICAL SITUATION
IN DELAWARE.
An Odd Condition of Affairs.

The following, as written by Dem
Ocrat of Wilmington in correspOn-
dence to a Philadelphia Republican
paper, shows a peculiar condition of
affairs in Wilmington, and throws some
light on the political situation in the
State:
The sound money Democrats of
Wilmington are very well pleased with
the ticket and platform adopted at In
dianapolis and say it will poll large
vote in Delaware. Senator Gray, said:
'GThe platform and candidates are both
ideally Democratic and excellent It
is very refreshing
Thomas F. Bayard, Jr., son of the
Ambassador, said
81 heartily approve of both the plat
form and candidates, and think that
the declarations set forth in the plat
form are the pricnipals of the Demo-
cratic party, the party of Jefferson and
Jackson. All of those who have here
toiore felt bound by party afiliation to
vote for the Chicago candidates. and
who would have done so rather than
vote for Mckinley, will now have an
opportunity of expressing their true
convictions. To my mind this is not
a third party movement, but fully 60
per cent. agree to the Indianapolis
declaration.

bigger. It has crushed the debtor and
thrown a wet blanket over the agri-
culturist. The American people will
stand in q corner for awhile and have
a fist shaken under their nose, but
finally they will strike out and on
November they will strike out with
blow for Bryan.
We will have to go back to bimetall-
ism. The whole world will have
to go back. Back to the good time of
1873. There has never been national
Democratic or Republican platform
that has not declared for bimetallism.
The Republicans declare for bimetall-
ism as soon as Germany, England and
the other countries go in for it. In
ternational bimetallism. If gold is a
good money why do the Republicans
want the other countries to agree to
bimetallism? Why should we ask
these other countries what to do re-
garding our currency? We have al
ways acted in other matters without
their consent and we can do it now in
regards to our money.
AS Mr.. Handy finished he was given
a large round of applause and cheers.
John G. Gray of Sussex county then
spoke in favor of free silver, giving a
number of statistics and claiming
that free silver would benefit the far
mers, giving them better price for
their products. Later in the afternoon
eX-COngressman Martin spoke. His
address was a regular old-fashioned
Democratic campaign speech and he
touched very lightly on the money
question. Morning Ncwa.

THE visit of Lii Hung Chang the
Chinese Ambassador, marks an impor-
tant event in this eventful year. First
going to Moscow to attend the crown
ing of the Czar of Russia, he with his
suit went from there to visit the courts
of the principal countries of Europe,
and arrived in this country over a week
ago. His time here was brief, but it
was full of interest, being the first
visit of a Chinese dignitary to our
country and himself a man of great
distinction, classed with Gladstone
and Bismark as one of the three great
est living statesman. He was ac-
corded unusual honor in the way of
receptions in New York, Philadelphia
and Washington, and left the latter
city on Friday evening, manifesting
especial interest in the operations of
the Treasury building, and is now on
his way to the Pacific coast and thence
to China.
In an address delivered at banquet
given in his honor at the Arlington
Hotel, Washington, Lii Hung Chang
said:
During my brief visit here 1 can
not help being impressed by the liberty
and freedom enjoyed by the people;
by the welfare and prosperity in their
agricultural, industrial and CONNER.
cial pursuits, by the characteristics of
their classical, historical, philosophical
and pOetical literature; by the manner
of application of the scientific dis.
cOveries and inventions for promoting
the happiness of mankind, and by THEN
display of artistic taste in the archi.
lecture of the public buildings and
sculpture and painting of historical
figures and facts.
'Ihese impressions I will carry
home, not only as augmentations tC
my store of knowledge from the fruits
of We- .ivilization, bit as the
means Of enlightening the millions

of these very means and ends of civil
cation into China, and amalgamatine

also clear majority of the entire popu-
lar vote. The phenomenal preponder-
ance which he is certain to have IN
such States as Pennsylvania, New
York, Massachusetts,, Ohio and other
great commonwealth that are on the
side of sound money will largely mag
nifty his popular lead. But it may well
be that Palmer will have as large a
popular vote or even larger then Breck-
inridge commanded in 1860. 1t would
not be surprising if his vote should
range from 500, 900 to 10000 This
will all be taken from Bryan and it will
reduce his figures to small proportions.
Douglas had only 80 per cent. of the
popular vote in 1860 and it is not un-
likely that Bryan's vote will not much
exceed that percentage. In such States
as Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky
Palmer will carry a large fraction OF
the Democratic party. We believe that
Mckinney would carry Illinois and In
diana in any event, but if there were
any doubt that the Palmer ticket would
remove it, and it will be even more pO-
tent in settling the position of Ken
lucky, Maryland and one or two other
border States.
The strength of the Indianapolis
Convention and the character and i'm
press of the ticket have much exceeded
what was anticipated when the move
ment began. With an active canvass
on the part of the Democrats who re-
ject the Chicago reputation ticket and
who will enter ZealOusly upon cam
paign for their new Democratic ticket
it is likely to make a strong diversion.
Indeed, the men who are in this move
ment, embracing the most respected
Democratic leaders, will inherit the
real Democratic position and title after
this campaign is over. With the over
whelming defeat of Bryan and the
Populistic elements associated with
him, the silver delusiOn will be dissi-
pated and the Democratic party will
hasten to get back to Democratic
ground. 1t will be as it was after the
foolish Greeley diversion and crushing
defeat of 1872. There will continue to
be two great parties in this country
and the Democratic forces that resist
the Chicago folly of this year will,
after its defeat, resume their influence
in the party"
Smyrna times., 1896-09-09

The young voters who have come of
age in the last decade, who grew up in
the midst of tightly drawn lines in
party matters, can hardly comprehend
the situation of things now politically.
But those who were voters in 1860 and
prior thereto, can, if they call up the
memories of the past, find a similar
experience in the days that preceded
the ending of slavery in this country.
There has been no such split in either
of the great parties since 1860. Then
the Democratic party was riven as
under as now and offered two Presi-
dental tickets. Stephen A. Douglas,
who was the candidate of the Northern
Democracy, received 1876 ,157 votes
and John G. Breckinridge, the candi-
date of the Southern Democracy. re-
eeived S45,76 But though Douglas
had larger popular vote than Breckin-
ridge, he had only 10 electoral votes as
against 70 for his Democratic competi-
tor of the Southern States, while the
strength Of Douglas was in the North
ern States which Lincoln carried. Lin
coin withapopular vote of 1856, 352 had
an electoral vote of1sO. Bell, the Union
candidate, carried 80 electoral votes
aud popular vote of $50, 5s1. Thus
Lincoln with only 40 per cent. Of the
popular vote had clear majority Of 81
an the Electoral College over all others.
The Philadelphia Press in referring
to the split in the Democratic party,
and the nomination OF Palmer and
Buckner at Indianapolis as againsi

vention says:

WIN. JENNINGS BRYAN, the presiden-
tial candidate nominated at Chicago,
has been induced to make two speeches
in Delaware, which will be delivered
on Monday 21st inst.-at Dover in the
afternoon and Wilmington at night.
A Presidential candidate is always a
drawing card, and Mr.. Bryan, with his
reputation for oratory, will be no ex-
ception-to members of all parties.
