Clarence S. Darrow, Wisconsin sill
verite, in the course Of a recent joint
debate with Senator Thurston at Madi-
son, Wis, said:
We are not fighting for fifty-cent
dollar. but We are fighting against the
two dollar dollar of Wall street and
Lombard street.
Replying to this ridiculous assertion
the New York Times makes the follow
ing pertinent Queries;
We ask workingmen to think of this
doctrine. which is at the bottom Of the
silver movement Do they bflieve that
the dollars which they hab received
in wages have been worth too much,
that they have boon worth twice as
much as they ought to have besnY Is
any dollar worth too much for the wage
Garner to whom it is paid? Do they
believe that the buying power Of their
dollars ought to be reduced by one bait
because, as the siIyerites say, they have
been able to buy twice as much food
and clothing With these dollars az they
ought to have procured for tho money!
Certainly, il there should be any
disparity between dollars used in our

colored Voters Demand Recognition,

The colored people of Wilmington are
demanding representation in the Con
stitutional Convention to be held in
this State. The Christian Union, a
paper devoted to colored church inter
ests, says:
Finally, he should he in that conven-
zion because it is the first and only
great opportunity he has or will have
to strike telling blow against that

here, it will be the major premise for
recognition in all the lower branches of
civil affairs. III he can purify the

that it would be lasting shame upon
us and an objectionable crime against
our posterity, should we fail to act in
this our only high day Of opportunity.
No man is 50 dishonorable as he who
wantonIy contributes To his own dis.
honor.
The first step in this direction will
be to induce the Republican party Of
Wilmington to nominate a coored man
as one of the FIVE delegates from this
city. The coIored voters form a sutfi q.
GENTLY large proportion OF tho Repub.
lican party to entitle them to this
recognition.

The ConstitutionaI oonren,Inn.


With two or three exceptions, the
nominations for delegates to the Con
stitutlonal Convention. made by the
Republicans of New Castle county, Sat
urday afternoon, are excellent. They
are men who are well-fitted, by educa
ton and experience. for the RESPONSE
BILE duties of the positions for which
they are candidates.
1t is more than ever matter Of
regret that the proposition for hi.
partisan convention, through union
OF the Republican and Democratic par
ties on delegates ticket of FIVE from
each party, was not accepted by tho
Republicans. Five names carefully
culled from the ten nominations made
by the Republicans on Saturday,
coupled with five Democrats Of equal
ability and distinction, would form a
ticket for which any good citizen, Re-
publican or Democrat. could cast his
vote without the slightest hesitation.
But, unfortunately, the Republicans
chose to follow tho plan OF nominating
a full partisan ticket, and the Demo.
Gratis arc compelled to adopt the same
COURSE. They should nominate their
very best men for delegates. The in
dicatIons are that the Democratic can
didates will be elected. and upon the
Democratic party, therefore, will rest

+ The Democratic papers of Delaware
that are now 80 ardently and blindIy
advocating the free coinage of silver,
should pause long enough to read the
following plank from the platform
unanimously adopted by the Democratic
party of this State, in convention as
1sembled on June 10th:
The Democracy of Delaware 10 con-
Vention assembled declare again their
allegiance to tho cardinal doctrines Of
their political faith, and that, thare-
fore, wa are in favor of maintaining tho
present monetary standard, and are OPP
posed 10 tho free coinage Of silver at

chase of silver bullion by the govern

Those sincere. earnest Republicans
who fairly took Mark Hanna by the
throat, at the st. Louis convention,
and forced him to permit declaration
in favor of the gold standard in their
party platform, should make another
determined stand. They should insist
upon having from Mckinley pledge
that, if elected President, he will veto
any free-silver coinage bill that Con-
gross may pass. In view of McKinley's
notorious silver record in Congress-,
and his provoking ambiguity at present
with reference to The financial ques-

Democratic papers of Sussex county
are insistent that the State convention
of the party to be held at Dover on the
18th should nominate Sussex man
for Governor. The Delaware Democrat
says;
The delegates to the State conven-
tioD that meets at Dover on the 18th
inst. should be animated by no selfish
considerations, but act solely for the
best interests Of the whole party. AZ
far as possible all enmities should be
buried and such u ticket nominated as
can gain the support OF the whole
party.
Without intending to cast any refec-
tion upon the candidacy of any person
in either Kent or New Castle, we claim
for Sussex the right to name the can
didate for Governor, the candidate two
yeurs ago having been defeated, not en-
tirely through the fault of this county.
The Seaford News puts forth the
same claim, and sustains 1t with the
following argument:
The term OF the last Governor chosen
from New Castle expired a little over
