The Metodists have Just closed one of
the most successful protracted meetings
that has been held here for years. Pastor
Collins is an industrious and faithful
Sheppard.
Mr. Saul Alcorn is on his foet again
after serious illness.
The Kiamensl Mills have been running
their looms at night to complete some
orders.
The Democrats held their first public
meeting in this village on Saturday cysn-
ing About fifty indifferent people made
slim audience for the cyclone Of Penn
sylvania. His stale stories and windy as.
sertions did not apparently enthuse the
few dyed in tho wool Democrats who were
present. Harvey Baldwin made dtgpi-
fled presiding officer, and Geo. w. Spicer,
Jr., acted us usher and general factotum
Mr.. He.zel assured his audience that the
election of Bryan was assured beyond
peradventure Well, Marshallton has
survived the cyclone without material
damage
Fortunately Marshallton has escaped
the heat of the political campaign. Occar
sionally little hot blood would be gem
Grated ut the stores or Oh the bridge, but
these have been harmless in results. and
the mon have been kepV busily employed
day and evening at the mills. But the
workmen are busy thinking and If indi.
cations are worth anything they will In
the main deposit straight ballots for Nc
kinley, Hotfccker and Willis. 1t is to be
regretted that the Republican vote of this
State should be divided simply on account
of the personal differences of few
leaders.
1t Is useless now to argue. Men in1i'-
enced by passion never listen to reason but
ht, frrnu pf
by passion,
1t seems certain that the large majority
OF voters OF Delawaredesire to be represent
ed in the next con gress by II tartf and good
money. They cannot accomplish this if
they divide their strength between two
sets of representatives. The wise policy
for them then is to concentrate their votes
on such candidates for Congress and The
legislator as seems most likely to poll the
largest number of votes.
1t cannot be doubted that Mr.. Willis
will receive the sutfrugcs Of the very large
majority of the Republicans This being
true the only hope of electng taliff rep,
rcSentative is to abandon the leaders and
concentrate tho vote on Willis.
The same is true with regard to members
of the legislature. 1t will be an easy mat.
ter for voters to pick out the most popular
candidates without reference to their a11l,
iation with passionate party leaders and
conCcntru railing the vote on these elect a
majority OF Republican members.
The people have no great Interest i'll tho
dispute between Higgins and Ahdicks,
each one has u personal interest IN tho
success Of the Republican ticket. Let tho
universe leaders tako care Of themselves
and the voters concentrate on their candi-
dates most likely to win, who will repre-
sent the peoples interest. Little Delaware
will thus do herself honor by standing in
the phulanx from other states that will
move towards change from Democratic
free trade and free silvor to honest money,
honest labor and plenty of both.
