MIR. Spruance struck the key note in
his speech at the Wilmington ratifca-
ton meeting the other evening when
he said that there must be only one
electoral ticket in the State, and he
who contributes by an act of commits
sion or omission to the nomination of
two sets of electors deserves the con-
demnatiOn of every honest and fair
minded Republican
The above sentiment met respOn-
sive throb in every true supporter of
Mckinley and coming from one in Mr..
| Spruance's position should exert po-
tent influence over every malcontent,
if there be any in the State. 1t is mad
ness to talk about defeat that success
may be obtained in the future.-Re-

PROBABLE CADIDATEs.-It isrepOrted
in Wilmington this afternoon that
United States District Attorney Lewis
G. Vandegrift, the Delaware member
of the Democratic National Committee
would like to receive the nomination
for Congressman. Like l.. Irving
Handy, Chairman of the State Com
mittee, Mr.. Vandegrift is keeping very
quiet. He is considered to good pol
itician to announce himself while there
are so many candidates in new Castle
county for the gubernatorial nOmina-
ton. 1t is said that some Demo
Gratis will bring John J. Black,
of New Castle, into the field for Gov
ernor, to split the Peter J. Ford delega-
ton and then side-track both of these
for Colonel James j. Ross, of SeafOrd
or Governor Watson, and thus leave
the way open for Mr. Vandegrift.
The SUsSer Republican thus treats
of the much mooted question of vote
buying: The Democratic press of this
State appears to be Mortified at the
idea of Republicans using money tC
buy votes. Why it is so much worse
for the wicked Republicans to indulge
in this practice, than for their owl
/ party they do not state. There has
not been an election held in this State
| for over thirty years, at which the
' Democrats have not spent all the
5 money they could raise to buy votes
t Only two years ago, they paid as higl
as fifty dollars per vote, right here IL
, Georgetown. The Republicans at tina
election, not only defeated, but bank
, rupted them, and now that they hav
no hope of carrying the election, they
are Mortified at the idea of the cOrrup
! use of money at elections.
