Why John II. HOffeCker Accepted the
Nomination.

The PeniRsUldr NetUS saw fit to at
tack John H. Hoffecker for what the
editor terms precipitancy in accept
ing the Dover nomination. The State
Sentinel quotes from the Ne10S and
proceeds to discuss the animus and
error in its publication. The two fol-
lowing paragraphs will show Mr.. Hof-
fecker's relation to the two conventions
at Dover and Georgetown:
"We happen to know that the rep
reservations made to him. and of
which this Editor affects to speak so
positively and falsely, were made to
Mr.. HOffecker by the men spoken of
here as his friends in the opposition
to Addicks. Mr.. Hoffecker consulted
with Levi G. Bird, Martin Burris and
Hugh G. Browne, in Brownies Office,
at Wilmington, on the day before the
convention at Georgetown. He went
to Mr.. Brownies Office at the sugges-
tion of Mr.. Bird. These men did not
tell Mr.. Hoffecker that they would op-
pose him, or that he would not be
nominated at Georgetown; nor did
they suggest that he should not attend
the convention. On the contrary,
whatever representations these men
made were favorable rather than other
wise.
''Nlr. Hoffecker did not have to make
new alliance. He simply appeared
among the Republicans of Delaware,
in the convention, at Dover, as one to
the manor born. He was there with
his political colleagues and brethren
representing the Republican party as
it had been convening in convention to
nominate a State ticket ever since the
party was organized. He was in &
convention representing nine-tenths Oi
the Republican voters of the State anC
was nominated for the Office of Gov
ernOr on the only Republican ticke'
nominated in good faith, and with the
intent of success for the Republican
party. He is not the candidate of &
faction but of the Republican party
whose success at the polls, whose or
ganization as a political party, il
threatened by fraudulent, bigoted
traitorous faction"

Gay, Midsummer Dance.

The young men of Smyrna gave n
pleasant midsummer dance in the
Opera House last Monday evening,
which was we'll attended. Though an
impromptu affair it was probably the
most brilliant social event of the sea-
son. Oglesby's orchestra, of Chester,
Pa, now spending the season at Wood
land Beach, furnished the music, and
it was the opinion of many that they
never acquitted themselves better.
With such splendid music and
smooth, waxed floor, the party were
lOath to quit when the last waltz died
away on the still night air. 1t was a
clear, moonlight night and one which
gave additional pleasure to strollers
between dances.

The Philadelphia Ledger in discuss
ing the question of coinage, says:
Under free coinage the owner of sill
yer, having q stock on hand which is
new worth say 6S cents an ounce,
would be able to have it coined into
dollars representing $1.29 per ounce,
and for brief period would make a
big profit. He could also use dollars
thus coined out Of SO cents worth of
silver to pay debts incurred when the
dollar represented 100 cents. He could
not of course, continue very long to
make such profits, because the country
would get on a new or silver basis,
and ultimately the owner of silver
would have to pay about double for
everything he bought with his silver
dollars coined out of SO cents worth OF
silver. If the change from one basis
to another benefited everybody alike
and could be made instantly we should
be no better or worse off in the matter
of exchangeability of products than
we are now, but the change would be
gradual and the seller of labOr--the
wage worker-wOuld be the last 10 feel
its effects. He would suffer for months
or years, paying more than now for
everything he consumes, while getting
no more wages or only a slight in
crease, not sufficient to make up fO1
the increase in the cost of living.

Since that time the farm house has
been in use. but it was too small, and
Father De Ruyter conceived the idea
of building an industrial village. That
work commenced last spring and is
we'll under way, Most of the build
ings have been started, and work was
progressing nicely.
Next st. Patrick's Day would have
been the Goth anniversary of Father
De Ruyter's ordination at st. JOseph's
College, London, and in all probability
the event would have been COM
memorated in an appropriate manner.
Father Quade, who was Father De
Ruyter's assistant, is in charge of af-
fairs at Clayton, expects that he will
be ordered to continue the building
work.
1t was the original intention to bury
the remains of the Rev. J. A. De
Ruyter at Baltimore, but it was learned
that he had expressed a desire to b'
laid at rest at Clayton and the remains
was taken there, and buried amid con
siderable ceremony. Five car lOaC
came down from Wilmington, besides
the large number of citizens who at

IT IS darkening all around the hori-
zon, and whatever the after effects may
be it is evident that the country will
have to weather another storm. The
disturbance of business caused by the
silver agitation grows more serious
continually. Day by day mills and
factories are shutting down, to await
the end of the controversy. Canada's
rejection of American silver in current
business transactions has been followed
by demand that losses incurred in
that country by American insurance
companies shall be paid in gold, and
even American bank notes have depre-
ciated there, while it is frankly de-
clared by New York brokers that the
reason why gold is returning to this
country is because it is at slight pre-
MUM here, which looks as if it were
already being bought up by prudent
people. The American people have
incurred big bill of expenses by rea.

DELAWARE has had its divisions and
bolts, in accordance with the general
trend Of '96, but Wilmington seems to
have laid claim to a larger share than
the rest of the State. In fact it may
be designated a community OF bolters.
First was the irreconcilables in the
Republican party - men seemingly
bent on party destruction; then the
emute in the Democratic party with a
gold faction and the formation of
Catholic clubs against Mr.. Tunnel,
the Democratic gubernatorial candi-
date, and lastly, the Single Takers,
after ratifying the nomination of Bryan
and Sewall, dividing the rest of their
ticket between the two leading parties.
The chief interest of the week is the
action of the Republican National
Committee towards the affairs of Del

stated that Stansbury J. Wiley, J.

SOUND MONEY Democrats of Will
mington, who have been more or less
quiet on the dOings of the Chicago
Convention, met together last night to
set up opposition to the Chicago plat
form us being 'in conflict with the
fundamental principles of the party,
and that the candidates nominated by
said convention are not true exponents
of Democratic doctrines, and to refuse
to support its candidates.
In reputation of the Chicago plat
form the call further read:
''We especially refuse our acquies-
cence in the demand of said convention
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 10 to 1, ratio far
below the commercial value of that
metal, as calculated to debase our ma
tiOnal currency and rob the dollar of
its purchasing power.
eve belieye it to be of vital import
ance to the whole people, to the wage
Garner and capitalist alike, that the
existing monetary standard be main
tanned, and that the use of gold and
silver as money be limited to the abll
ity of the Government to preserve
equality in purchasing power between
the two coins"
If this means anything it must NEAR
that these parties, and those who agree
with them in sentiment, cannot vott
for L. Irwin Handy any more thar
they can vote for Bryan and Sewall
In that event Mr.. Handy will be de
feated and his birthright shown to b
poor inheritance. These are stirring
times and it seems indeed like tn
breaking up of old parties and the for
nation of new ones. Many men ar
certainly getting into a position to in

FATHER DE RUYTER DEAD.
Was the Founder Of the Industrial School at
cIaytOH.

Rev. J, A. De RHyter, priest Of st.
Joseph's colored Catholic Church, died
suddenly at his home in Wilmington
about noon Friday. He started for
Clayton that morning, but was taken
i'll in the railroad station and driven
rapidly to his home where he died in q
short time. Father De Ruyter has been
i'll recently, but his trouble was not re-
garded as serious. He has been very
prominent in this State in connection
with the work Of the Roman Catholic
Church among the colored people. He
was sent to Wilmington in 1887 to be-
gin labor along these lines, and he
soon established ST. Josephs Church
for colored people and the colored or
phan asylum adjoining. This was fol-
lowed two years ago by the establish,
ment of the industrial farm and school
at Clayton. A number of buildings
have already been completed there and
more are under way. In the home il
| Wilmington there are twenty sisters
and 100 boys, while there are fifty boyi
in the school at Clayton,

Book of Revelation is the millennium,
the 1000 years when the devil will be
chained and righteousness shall cover
the earth, and the period between that
time and the Judgment, when the devil
will be figuratively unlosed and wick
edness again take possession of the
people. The question how is the mil
lenium to be reached is answered, by
the gradual development of christian
principles. Judging by the slow pro-
gress of the last 1000 years it will be
sometime yet before righteousness
covers the earth" Then will prevail
the 1000 years of peace and good will,
followed by the relapse into wicked
ness, which it is to be presumed will be
gradual as was the process reaching up
to that event. Thus, if the sculptures
are to be fulfilled, the end of time can
not be reached under some thousands
of years yet.
Coming back to the thought as de-
clared in the text that David nor the
saints before and after him had not yet
entered heaven, and would not until
the end of time, but were dwellers in
the meantime in state of happiness in
Paradise. the time and opportunity
was given to every man to reach this
place and condition. Good thoughts
and deeds are set on foot by individuals
as are likewise bad ones, that may have
their effect on the destiny of Others
for all time, and for this reason {
proper judgment cannot be rendered
on the deeds done the body" unit
the winding up of time.
The speaker in closing presented tn
personable desirableness of meeting
, these great events in a way that vii
not be open to risks and dangers con
| sidering that eternity so far outmeas
4 ures time, and said that to him Chris

The people have long since learned
that the most disagreeable medicines
are not necessarily the best. In fact
as a rule are not. What is wanted is
something mild and sure, such as
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhGa Remedy. That is really pleasant
to take when reduced with water and
sweetened. Then it is acknowledged
everywhere to be the most successful
remedy in the world for bowel com
plants. Ask any number of druggists
for the best remedy they have for

ten will recommend Chamberlain's.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Says the Morai1lg Nc,0S Thus far
Mr.. L. Irving Handy has not received
very hearty endorsement by the
Democratic papers of Wilmington. He
is nominated for Congress at last, but
his campaign from present indications
will have to be fought without the as
sistance of the Democratic papers here.
Probably the aspiring statesman could
help himself by circulating copies of
