AN EXPLANATION DESIRED

Man is said to be a creature of rea-
son. Delaware Republicans should
show themselves reasonable and should
act from the dictates of reason. Re-
publican newspapers should lead in this
matter and by plain statement of
facts should aim at the truth. All are
agreed that many important issues are
involved in this campaign, and the way
for Republicans to get together is to
consider the truth and then act with
reason.
The Transcript has a query to sub.
nit to Mr.. Addicks special organ, the
Estate Sentinel" for information. 1t
is the substance, so said, of Mr.. Ad-
dicks speach before the members of
the National Committee at St. Louis
II made Mr.. Higgins Senator, and 1
defeated him.
1t is not of the defeat that we inquire,
that is understood, the how and why
and wherefor-but in what way did
Mr.. Addicks make Mr.. Higgins Sen
ator? The "Sentinel' has said that ut
the time of Mr.. Higgins election Mr..
Addicks was not known TO a dozen
people down the State. Mr.. Addicks
statement is very strange one except
with one explanation-that it is false.
There may be another. If SO, what i, itp
If the "Sentiner' will not explain
perhaps the other papers which ara oc-
caslonally favorable to the Addicks
cause will do SO. 1t does not matter
as to the source of the explanation, 50

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

The District Convention to nominate
Delegates to the Constitutional Convention
will meet in Wilmington on Saturday,
August Sth. The delegates will be elected
at to-day's primaries
A report from Rehoboth is to the effect
that the Silverite Democrats have agreed
to combine upon Ex-Congressman Edward
L. Martin, of seaford, for governor and L.
Irving Handy for Congress. This would
mean to put John F. Salisbury in COM
mand and it has given the Bayard-Gray-
Wolcott- folks cold chill. An
other prophet says Theodore F. Armstrong
will be the nominee for governor and w.
H. Boyce the candidate for Congress.
The picture of Peter J. Ford in all the
Delaware weeklies seemed to carry con-
sternation into the camp of his opponents
in his own party. and some of them criti-
cized the good taste Of such campaigning.
1t is all right however. and commendable.
The people want to know for whom they
are to vote at the primaries. Mr.. Ford's
friends confidently claim that he will haye
a large majority of the New Castle county
delegates and that he will be nominated BY
the Democrats for governor.

SKETCH OF MIR. HOFFECKER.
John Fl. Hoffecker, the Oldest son of
Joseph and Rachel Hoffecker, was born
September 12, 1927, on the farm which
he now owns, one and half miles
from Smyrna, and obtained his educa-
tion in the schools of that town. At
his fathers death he succeeded to the
ownership of a large farm, which he
cultivated from 1851 to 1868, when he
moved to Smyrna and embarked in the
business of canning fruit with his bro
ther Joseph as partner. The partner
ship was dissolved in 1877 and the
business has since been conducted by
Mr.. Hoffecker, who has greatly en-
larged the establishment and increased
the facilities for canning. in 1888 he
added extensive eyaporators and fifty
horse power engine to his factory. He
still continues to manage his farm Of
225 acres whichis mostly planted in
ruit trees. During many years Of his

came associated with his father in the
drug business at The Da!le-. The

of the great territory now termed East
ern Washington, Idaho and Oregon.
AS business man he came into con-
tact with the pioneers of all sections,
and no man could have enjoyed Il larger
acquaintance, or possess more perfect
knowledge of the trials of that blessed
army of home seekers. His business
relations brought him to Lewiston as
early as 1860, and in 1866 he engaged
IN the drug business at this point.
Since that time he has continuously
resided in this city, an honored and
| respected citizen. In 1872 he was ap-
pointed 10y General Grant as receiver
of the Lewiston land office, and re-

Presidents Hayes, Garfield and Harri-
capacity with credit and honor. Re
firing from the land office in 1898, he
engaged IN the real estate business with
II. X Barnett. Mr.. Monroe was an
efficient land attorney, aud much OF
his time was consumed in practice be-
fore the court of the land department
up to the time of his death.

in all the minis of the world previous
to that time His statement was
limited to the coinage of the |.

of the world. Also his statement
that a vital issue of much Importance
was the finan cial one, was made to
read Of MOST Importance, etc. MIR
Babh offered no definition of money,
in his address, and his table on prices

A Little Principle
NOT ALL SPOILS SAYS THE Ma
TIONAL COMMITTEES.
And Dubois all Spoils.
Another Convention Held--P0ps are now
Wondering Ia Earnest "Where
They Are A."

Duhois has held another conventions.
He assembled at Boise City Saturday,
and withdrew the popuisls from his
ticket, previously named, and substi-
tuied in their stead democrats and Du-
boisites Of his liking. Only pops were
withdrawn from the tick t, and the
disciples of Weaver are now wondering
why is this. They are stronger In the
state than the democrats, their reason
tells them, and they cannot under
stand Mr. Dubois motive.
\ prominent local popuiist explains
the position af follows: Both the
democratic and populist national com
mittees have appealed to the state
committees to recognize the Duboistes,
Idaho should not be influenced alone
by spoils. The state committees did
not heed them, claiming that the Du-
hoisites were inspired only 10y spoils,
aud made u vigorous protest. The pop
ulists stood patfrom the first, respect
ing the terms of the fusion agreed upon
at Boise. 1t now seems that Dubois
has made n deal with the democrats,
iusuring the election of their state
| nominees, and in return receiving their
support for his senatorial boom. II
such deal has not been made, why
has he withdrawn the populists who
are the most earnest, conscientious
friends of silver. The democrats stand
Ia very unfavorable light, and IL my
