POLITICAL NOTES..
Things Political Accidentally
Overheard-Talkcd About and
Suggested.

Well, Bryan the silver apostle has
come and gone. We think he has made
more converts for the Republican party IN
Delaware than he has for the Populist's
Democratic ticket His arguments wtrt
weak and his attacks on the church and
ministers cold blooded and brutal Such
u man and candidate before the people
can't win. It's impossible.
Mr.. Joseph l. Carpenter Jr., said while

"Why the precious matter Is plentiful and
can be had for the ASKING at any OF the
banks"

around with you. 1t is heavy in weight
and very unhandy to carry, but l only
want to show you (addressing his conver.
sution to Mr. Hesson) )that,there Is plenty OF
gold In circulation amongst the people.
In fact that party of gentlemen had nearly
four hundred dollars in gold in their pos
session. Mr. Hession SAW his argument

November to find out how many Of their
votes got away from the fold, Such II
strange mixture of tickets was never be-

by making big noise, and in q little

are also seekers after notoriety, who

voters to support It, But such is politics
this year in Delaware. There has never
before been such state of affairs in the
Diamond Sta'o. God save tho State.
