Evening journal., 1896-10-21


nounced as a candidate for Office
Dover Delawarean.
The action Of the regular Republican
committee on Tuesday, accepting two
OF the Addicks nominees for the Levy
Court of this county, is another proof
of the eagerness of the Higgins wing to
fuse II only the Addicks men will con-
sent.-Delaware Democrat.
The Evening Journal remarks,
"There is a dearth of Democratic ora
tors on the stump in Delaware this
year.'f Mark this, neighbor there
won't be a dearth of these gentry at
the dealing out of offices next year by
Democratic administration. Their
slowness in this campaign will be over
balanced by the lightning rapidity
with which they will rush for the Of
fees. The "old families" will regain the
speed and agility OF youth.-Wilming-
ton Daily World.
As great as is our regard for Messrs.
Hoffecker and Willis and others on
their ticket we regard a vote for them
an encouragement Of Addicksism,
which Mr.. Addicks will take as a pub
lie endorsement. Sufficient encourage
ment may fasten him upon the party
In the state for years. Every Republi-
can should consider this matter care
fully before he -Middletown
Transcript.
The declaration that the News and
it's friends are not responsible for the
present conditions in Republican poll
tics is an absurd lie. There had never
been a bolt from a Republican conven-
tion in Delaware until May ~, when
the men who are now fraudulently
calling themselves regular" Republi
cans, having no claim upon that title
except that given them by Democratic
clerks of the peace for the purpose of
dividing and defeating the Republi-
cans of Delaware, left the convention
to form a mean, wicked and malicious
conspiracy to defraud the majority rep
resentatives Of the party out Of the
fruits Of victory at the polls.-Dover
State Sentinel.
When chronic office-seekers like
! Henry c.. Conrad and Walter II. Hayes
are boosting John II. Honecker for
! governor at the expense of Mckinley
and Hobart and of every Republican
candidate in the country, the voter may
depend upon it that Mr. Hoffecker has
made promises of office to somebody.
Would he appoint for Encouragement,
Conrad or Hayes, or would he name
Walter Bacon ?-Afro-Am Citi-
zen.
Doubtless Ambassador Bayard never
! knew of the promise that Senator Pal
mer made to vote for free silver in or
der to get those two Populist votes in
the Illinois Legislature that were neces-
sary to elect him to the United States
Senate -Seaford News.
There are indications that the indie
pendent voter is abroad this year,
and that he will not omit Delaware in
| his travels. 1t is already apparent that
party lines will be rudely shattered in
this state on the 3rd of November, and
| that mixed ballots are more likely to
be the rule than the exception. This
will particularly be the case in the vot-
! ing for candidates for the General AS
sembly and the Constitutional Conven-
ton. Ii will be we'll, therefore, for
voters to study carefully the provis-
ions of the ballot law.-Every Evening.
The Republican party offers no pro
lection to the farmers, who constitute
the home market of the factory en-
ployes. Free silver protects them
against Indian wheat and Egyptian
cotton.-Delaware Record.
Betting on the result of the election
is not proper thing to do. In accept
ing the money for a bet the receiver
does not return anything for value re-
ceived, thereby he filches unjustly and
unlawfully the money from the loser.
But II, Notwithstanding this whole
some advice, one is determinedtobe he
had better put up his money on Bryan.
Delaware Pilot.
The cross roads Populists OF Della
ware will read Ambassador Bayard out
of the Democratic party now that he
has denounced the free coinage of sill
yer and Candidates Bryan and Sewall
1t has been decided, however, to let Mr.
Bayard remain at his present post un-
I'll next March.-Milford News and Ad
vertiser.
The effort of the regular Republicans
to break Addicks' power seems fruit
less. He will not agree to any compro
mise. He is in the fight to finish
win or lose. This being true, 1t is thu
safe course to fall in line and elect thu
whole Democratic ticket, and thus riS
the state of the meanest wrangle tha
has ever hlighted the fair name Of Del
aware-Delaware Ledger.
