split will leave HIM high and dry upon

The writer Of this column does not be-
lievc that all the orators in the country
can change single vote. The people
have made up their minds how they in.
tend to vote and all tho wind in the uni

placed in their hanGs to read will make
more converts to sound money than all
the speeches in Chrstond0m.
The Single Takers show where they
stand. They can't get anything by talking
against timO and will therefore vote the
Democratic ticket for President They
arc not to be trusted.
Thomas n StaytOn would not submit
to the restrictions placed upon him by the
Democratic State Central Committee and
promptly withdrew from the Senatorial
race He knew he would have no show If
the election WAS to be held in only three
precincts in the city. His opponent, Suua-

Sixth and Eleventh wards to cast their
votes to-day
A cock and bull story has been published

have done so, and time will tell if all the
rumorS are true.
We think the Republicans of Delaware
had better got something to fight about
before they quarrel about something they
may never have to divide up.
