POLITICAL NOTES.
Says the M0raillg Ncl0S 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
the photograph of the children of
Kennett Square public school.
THE SINGLE TAKERS.
The Single Takers are very indignant
because of their treatment by the |
Democratic authorities at Dover, aud |
threaten to nominate a Legislative ticket |
in Kent and New Castle counties, and |
also support the candidates of the Ad-
dicks party for Congress and Governor. |
We are not surprised that they should
resent it to the extent of their ability.
The only thing we fear is that their
estimates of their numbers greatly ex
ceed the same when they shall be
counted. DAILY RepubIican.
LITTLE HOPE OF REPUBLICANS EFFECT
ING COMPROMISE.
J. Edward Addicks Friday gave out
an interview that further complicates
Republican politics in the State, and
the conservative men of both sides,
who have cherished hopes of cOmpro-
mise, feel very much disappointed. Mr..
Addicks was interviewed in his Office,
in Wilmington, and said "All this
talk about compromise is a fake-nO
truth whatever at the bottom of it. "
When asked if the candidates nomi-
mated at the Dover Convention would
stand, he replied: Absolutely; no
possible change in any direction. If
there is to be any harmony on the
Electoral ticket it will be by the
Georgetown men Withdrawing from
their ticket. We will nominate a full
Legislative and Constitutional Con-
vention ticket. Whether we nominate
local officers in the different hundreds
will depend upon the wishes of the
people in those hundreds. A careful
computation cOnvinces us that our op-
ponents will not poll more than s per
cent. of the Republican vote in the
State. We expect to carry our nomi-
nations in all the counties.
r FORD MEN DISSATISFIED AT THE NoMI-
NATION OF TUNNELL.
! The Wilmington correspondent Of
:. the Phila. Ledger says: There is con
,, siderable dissatisfaction over the
= Democratic nominations made at Dover
:, last Tuesday. The Ford men are de
- claring that they have been treated un
>, fairly by Ebe W. Tunnel, the nomine,
y for Governor, and that they will Gu
him at the polls. They claim that Mr.
:, Ford refused to allow his name to b,
" used until after Mr.. Tunnel had posi-
% lively refused to allow his name to b.
= presented, and even went so far as t,
. say that he would not accept the nOmi
- nation if rendered him. The leader
thought that the dissatisfaction ex
- pressed on the day of the Convention
~ would soon die out, but instead of tina
F" it is daily increasing. The Democrat
" in the western part of Wilmington ar
- forming clubs to defeat Tunnel, an,
= one in the Tenth Ward, the Democrat
- stronghold of Wilmington, is said t

Handy, the nominee for Congress, wi
~ ! lose a large number of votes in th
~ northern part of the State because
y is not sound money man, but it
thought that whatever he will lose i
90 80 New Castle county will be made up b
- the Republican farmers in Kent an
Sussex who favor free silver, and thes
-. farmers are many.

Dover Convention have also anotht
