The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1896-10-16
POLITICAL NOTES.

l. Irving Handy Makes one
Of his Glowing Word Painting
Speechcs-The Campaign has a
Host OF Orators to Draw From
Everything is Lovely in Della
ware.
Some men have been known from Mary.
land to be of the temperament that II they
could not rule they were determined 20
ruin everything In sight. That is whaA
is the matter Mt the present time with tho
Republican party in Delaware. One man
for 20 years has domineerod over the party
and when he could not have his say has
even defeated the party's candidates after
they wore regularly nominated by the
people Is 1T not nearly time to coll Q
halt upon the leadership of such mon.
That Is what ia the matter with the rs.
publican party In Delaware to-day. Tho
rule or ruin policy has always cropped out
and men who would have helped Che party
financially have had their offers spurned
If they dared to lift up thoir voices In the
party council.
They were allowed to contribute, but
never consulted as to how tho money
should DO spent The disgraceful fight
supremacy when there is nothing to fight
over Is one Of those strange things past
finding out, but such Is politics and al
ways will be. Thomas b. Road gave the
party some good advice when he advised
them to get together and got something
to fight about and then God be with them
in the division Of the spells.
Another thing politics don't always
bring proyender to those who do the party
work by looking after the DISTINGUISHED and
see that their taxes are paid md the receipt
put In a safe place until election dny. Lots
of mon have no idea of what manhood and
honor means and will sell their votes half
a dozen times over and the last man to
purchase their votes will be the ones to re-
coive the much sought after prize. Now
that the six different parties heve filed
their tickets with clerks of. he Peace we
hope the voters will BIO able to make an In.
telligable choice and cast their ballots foH
Mckinley and Hobart.
Ebe Tunnel also spoke. He was greeted
with cheers Ebe Is not much OF an orator
and only showed himself to his oohsti-
tuonts, who whooped it up for him In true
Democratic style The would BIO Gov
ernor Is not much on a speech. He never
protested to DO an orator. that distinction
was loft for Mr. l., Irving Handy, tho
wild and woody candidate from the wilder
ness of New Castle County Democracy,
He Is Henry Clay and Daniel Websteg
of Delaware Democracy. His words
whistle through tho air and never fail 70
meet responsive chord ir the heart OF
his hearers who always libcrnlly applaud
him.
1t was reported yesterday that Washing
ton Hastings was after somebody's scalp
but Anthony his attorney refused to DO
interviewed On the subject.
Now that Wash Is home, squalls may be
looked for from time to time in the Repub-
lean camp
Peter j Ford made quite political
speech last evening, in Wtcthco hall, %
the Democrats advocating tho election Of
+. w. Tunnel and tho whole Democratic
ticket. He advised tho faithful Tenth
wardors to roll up such majority that
never before was polled in this banner
ward OF Democracy. He advised them to
sot aside their feelings of dlsaapointlnenb
us he had done. He thought Ebe W. rum
nell was a first class man and the better
he knew him the better he liked him.
That he would be Governor Of the whole
people and not influenced by any faction.
His Democracy Is never c'tlonou lie
looks it; hi3 every action denotes tho
orator that he is Once within the hear"
Ing uf his "silvery' voice yon become en-
chAnted. Tho boys travel miles to soc and
hear his convincing arguments. he has
