MIR. Ford's Candidacy.

The Dover Index, among other com
ments upon the work of the Demo-
cratic State convention, prints the fol-
lowing:
Peter j. Ford made an honorable and
manly fight for the nomination for
Governor at the convention on Tues
day. No reflection was cast upon his
good name, and no one can point his
finger in any direction only in the line
that he deported himself as a gentle
man and Democrat. Sussex county
felt that Mr.. Tunnel, who was de-
feated two years ago by the most des-
picable means ever adopted in this
State, should again have the opportu-
nifty to appear before the bar of public
sentiment, which, We believe, will
never again submit itself to the debag-
ing influence of Addicksism. In this
contest it is the duty of every Demo-
crat to stand solid in behalf of the
election of that good and tried citizen,
who his never forsaken Democracy in
its hour of trouble or SUCCESS. In this
fight OF the people, who will carry for
ward the banner of Tunnel and vic
tory, in the very front ranks will be
Peter j. Ford.
1t can be said with truth that Mr..
Ford made clean, manly and honest
campaign for the favor of nomina-
tion for the office OF Governor at the
hands of the Democratic party of Della.
ware. Had the nomination been con,
coded TO New Castle county, Mr.. Ford
would have been nominated, as he was
the undoubted choice of this county,
but Sussex claimed the honor and Sus
sex got it, Mr.. Ford's canvass was
honorable to him in every respect, and
there is no doubt that Mr.. Tunnel
will have his earnest support through
out the campaign.

The New York World makes an adj
mirable point in the following edi-
torial reference to the interest of saw
ings bank depositors in the pending
campaign:
The total vote of New York at the
Presidential election in 1892 was
l,3G6. l45. This vote was not exceeded
at either the election of last year or
the year before.
The total number of depositors in the
savings banks of the State. on July LIST,
1896. was /, 1852, 3S2; their deposits ag
gregated s7l5, 032, 800, at a hundred
cents on the dollar.
In other words, the depositors in the
savings banks outnumbered the actual
voters 366, 237; they numbered 2619 per
cent of the population, and held nearly
10 per cent, or nearly one-t fifth of the
assessed value of the total property of
the State on deposit.
The absolute security of these de-
posits and the purmanence of their
value should never be even menaced
with a dollar of less value than those
earned and deposited by the thrifty
poor.

-=----=== IT
The sound Money Democratic Meeting.
The meeting OF Sound NJ oney Demo-
Gratis of Delaware, held at the Builders
Exchange. Tuesday night was splendid
success. 1t was marked by intense
earnestness and much enthusiasm.
The attendance was encouragingly
large, closely approximating five hun
dred, and those who know the diff
Guilty of weaving party men from allegi-
ance to their regular party organiza-
tion, will realize what this attendance at
an initial meeting signifies. 1t means
that the cause will grow steadily, and
make itself political power at the
ensuing election.
But while the meeting was crafty
ingly large in point Of numbers, it was
doubly 50 in it's personal characteris-
tics. II was thoughtful audience,
not one attracted by any ordinary out
burst of spontaneous enthusiasm. And
1t was thoroughly representative of the
best sentiment of the Democratic
party. Besides the we'll known Demo.
crafts who signed the call to the meet
2 ing, and whose names were made
familiar throughout the State by re-
peated publication in Every Evening,
there were men from the shops and
the farms serious, thoughtful work
ingmen-whose interest in the matter
of a sound currency is as deep and
abiding as that of the most prosperous
merchant or the wealthiest capitalist
in the land. In fact, they have even
greater interest, for upon them will
the burden OF the evils to follow a
debased currency most surely and
severely fall.
The work of the meeting was quickly
and thoroughly performed, and the
Democratic Sound Money League of
Delaware was organized in due form
and good feeling. Many men present
signed their names to the rolls Of
membership, and others will speedily
follow. Seldom is it the fortune of a
political organization to meet with
such convincing success at the very
first meeting subsequent to its in,
ception.
The address of Hon. William NJ
Sipgerly of the Philadelphia Recorc
was one of the striking features of th,
meeting. 1t was an admirable effort
and will be found printed in full il
the proceedings Of the meeting givel

Candidate Bryan denies the charge
made by the Chicago Chronicle that
he was paid attorney of the silver
mine owners, while in Congress and
up to his nomination, on regular
salary. He says:
II never, at any time or under any
circumstances, have been in the EN-
ploy Of any mine owners, individually
or collectively, nor have ever baen in
the employ Of or been paid by any
bimetallic organization. -
This is plain and satisfactory. Mr..
Bryan meets the charge squarely and
his denial disaipates the possibility of
degrading campaign scandal. His
denial should be widely circulated by
the papers that gave publication to the
charge. Mr.. Bryan is entitled to fair
treatment, no matter how vigorously he
may be opposed.

The Delaware Democrat of George
town is pleased with the nomination of
Tunnel and the platform adopted by
the Democratic State convention of
last Tuesday. 1t says:
If the different county conventions,
that will soonn be called to place local
tickets in the field, will be equally
careful to avoid all disturbing in
tiuences there need be M fear of Re-
publican success here at the next cleo
tion. The Democrats have a majority
in all three counties of the State and
all We want is that proper care he
taken not TO divide the party by in
ludicious nominations, or offend the
preiudices Of any by obnoxious planks
in the platforms If the same wisdom
is observed in the county conventions
as was displayed in the State conven-
ton we may be assured that the action
of the Democrats will be upheld by the
people, and victory will be assured.
The line of policy defined by the
Delaware Democrat is a good one. If
adhered to, it will bring about Demo
cratic victory in each of the three
counties of this State at the November
election.

be the next Governor Of Delaware.
