within our bordefs a miserable political
pandemonium. The air we breathe is
yeritably filled with the putrid germs Of
corrupt conspiracies for political ag
grandizement or preference; for even
the alienation Of the right of franchise
God given to the citizens of this glor-
ious land Of freedom.-Milfo Herald.
Mind YOU, this was Charles Sumner,
one Of the founders and ablest mem
bers Of the Republican party speak
ing OF the United States Supreme
Court, and yet Mr.. Bryan is an an
archist, forsooth because he advocates
that it is the duty of Congress TO use
all the constitutional power which re-
mains after that (income tax law de-
cisiOn, OF which may come from its
reversal by the court as 1t may here
after be constituted. 50 that the bur-

Is this man Addicks a friend to the
Republican party? His advocates say
that he is; that he has spent $4,000
in his efforts to force himself upon the
Republicans Of Delaware. That ne has
spent money is evident but it has al
ways been to tie up men with himself;
TO pay for any service or cause in
checks and then to threaten to show
his stub books at the least show of in

Those who know anything Of the
facts know that Anthony Higgins did
not nominate Joshua Marvil, nor be-
come responsible for such nomination.
Il is true that Mr.. Higgins believed
/ Mr.. Marvil would make a strong can
| didate and an able executive Results
confirmed this opinion. But the people
/ Of Sussex county wanted Joshua Mar
! VII named. They had confidence in
/ him, and so had many persons in Kent
and New Castle counties. He appeared

The Democratic and Conservative
voters must see to it that the people Of
Delaware are saved from certain ele-
ment that seeks to obtain control Of
the government. It is not so much a
political issue or a question of which
Of the two principal parties shall be
successful, but rather a question of mo-
rality, OF the redemption of the state,
the amending the Constitution by clear
headed conservative delegates and the
enactmentof lawsand penalties thatwill
be a terror to those who i'm the future
would debauch the voters and bring
disrepute upon the good name of our
people.-Delaware Pilot.
The political opponents of J. Ed
ward Addicks have apparently gone
stark mad. They manifest all the fury
OF madmen. Ex-senator Higgins and
Washington Hastings leading this Op-
position have manifested all the des-
peration of men bent upon the utter
ruin of the man whom they hate. Mr.
Addicks has been slandered and as
sailed at every point which could Sc
riously injure him personally and in
his business relations. All former eff
forts having failed, suits have now
been entered in the United States
courts intended to ruin him.-State
Sentinel.
The attempt of the Union RepuhM-
cans in Kent county, upon the AMI
davits of two negroes, who professe6
ignorance of what they were doing, t'
disfranchise some of the oldest anC
best citizens of the county calls fo
] the most severe condemnation. Behini
the tools employed were the part,
! managers, willing to use the bases
/, means to accomplish their ends.
1t shows the urgent necessity o
! driving from Delaware politics thu
J bane of Addicksism that corrupt
everything with which it comes in con
