Business IL evidently very dull PIP about
Ne headquarters Of ths SOUND money
an,,aos League on Market street. 4
away on type writer and no doubt
trying " earn his salary. A table In tho
centre of the floor Is iontod down with
sound money literature awaiting time to
distribute them 10 the suffering bpb(ld.
| IN tho Addlcks headquarters, No. $50
Market street, two mon are busily sna6&
cd addressing public documents freHke&
free silver question and will DO distTibpG
cd where they are supposed to do the most
good.
In the rear room Mr.. Stansbury Wiley
chairman of the Union Republican party,
has his headquarters, and Is consulted Id
everything pertaining to the Union RI
publican party. The front room Is kept
US Committee room and presided pvet
by Mr.. Howard Staats. Everything IL Ia
perfect working order and tho campaigH
Is beginning to grow rcd hot. The scouts
made such astonishing reports that would
tend to give ono swelled head If he be.
lieved all that was told.
Over at the Higgins headquarters near.
ly opposite, business Is brisk. Mr.. Hugh
floor In the centre of tho building where
he sees the party workers of tho simon
pure Republican party. Ho has just re.
turned home from u flying trip through
West Virginia, where he has been purely
Oh business.
He is hopeful of consolidation Of THO
two Republican tickets now in tho field,
and Is doing all in his power to bring ~
about He fully recognizes that only
with one Republican ticket in the field Id
Delaware Is there any hope whatever for
CARRYING the State for Mckinley. He
wishes to see this possible. In tho rear
room is the headuu of Mr.. Fred Eden
Bach, who looks after the finances, and
sees that the machinery gets the neces.
snry grease to keep 1t moving smoothly.
He is one of tho hard working Republic
cans and yct has mover received any Office
in recognition OF his numerous hours
spent in trying to carry the Stats for the
Republican party.
The Democratic headquarters have not
rs yet been located, but no doubt after
Bryan speaks In our city tonight the
Democratic Doodle will be put afl)at and
placed where 1t will do tho most
good for the greatest number The num-
Dor Of candidates for the Office of Governor
has already reached five. As only ono can
be elected, there is no doubt that til other
four will be like the boy who hal to go 10
bed without his supper. Some men have
no hope of being elected to Office but like
the notoriety that running for oiilce bringa
The times are made betterin some quaS
tiers by the spending of the campaign
money. 1t helps business and peases very
many men, whose greatest stock in trado
is thor mouth. 1t don't cost much to
shoot 1t Off and 1t Is always loaded.
Possibly Milton 5 Hawkins Will 10 reaA
out of tho Democratic party. That's what
bcfell several men in tho Republican,
party for daring to open their mouths. Hs

he would never have stood up and traduc.
ed the honOreu name of Senator Gray.
The coup Of John p. Donahues fricndg
was certainly deserving of praise ms ~
placed the witty Irishman on the ticket as
Constitutional delegate
He Is against Gray ll"st last and oil the
time But if John =. had wanted to have
captured tho nomination for Governor,
where would he have been in tho racer
Echo answers sin the soup"
1t Is now said by the Democrats that
Senator Gray will not vote for bryan, the
Democratic nominee for President. Will
bet big apple that Gray don't take the
stump in Delaware for Bryan and Ebc w.
Tunnel; What thcn will poor Il. Irving
Handy do?
1t begins to look as If L. Irving Handy
would have rs hard n road to travel politl'
cully a his predecessor, Samuel Bancroft
Jr. and will come rs near to being elected
as did Samuel Jonathan :. Willis will DO
the next Congressman from delaware,
Why: Because he has mudo first class
member and ono which Delaware may
well feel proud Of
1t is reported again. and this time tho
news comes from the Philadelphia lnf
quror that the Regular Republicans have
been ordered to withd raw the names OF
Spruance ami Hayes US electors, n Hams
has at last requested 1t. That's where Mat
Quay gots In his work
Delaware three electoral votes may be
badly needed by the Republicans in the
next electoral college, and tho National
Committee doesn't want to take any
chances in the matter With one Rcpuhs
lican ticket in the field the grand old
party win sweep everything before 1t in
Delaware. May the desired end be accom-,
pllshed and no sores left that won't heal
over.
DR.. Louis N. Slaughter, the Single Tax
candidate for Governor, will be like unto
his name on November Bird. Ho wong
know no was running If the papers would
omit his name and vote.
The Temperance candidate for Governor
Is another poor leluded man, to allow hip
n anne to be put up for mere handful q
men to vote for, who arc only throwing
their franchise away.
Politics IL tho rlination Of hundreds Of
men. Look over the men who have reps
resented the different wards in City Count
Gil for tho past twenty years. What has
become Of the majority of them? Are
they as well off today as they were when
they first came into prominence as city
law makers? This campaign is ono 81
the most triangular that ever was held in
Delaware.
Senator Pyles friends are not willing
to allow Willard salisbury to count him
out. There will be an interesting fight
between now and "Wednesday next, when
the fight is tG be decided.
