There is no use of being bull headed
and obstinate and say that l won't do
this anu / won't do that. The people
Will settle the difficulty and in such
a manner that the so-called leaders
Will be relegated TO the background
and their leadership spurned and spat
upon.-Daily Republican.
1t is truly amusing TO listen to the
Addicks Republicans denounce ex-Sen-
ator Higgins, and so bitterly oppose
him, when il is so well known that he
is not aspiring for the United States
senatorship. Mr.. Higgins is not in the
fight He has entered into some bust
ness enterprises that require his undi
vided attention and are proving very
remunerative. II reports are true, Mr.
Higgins is rapidly becoming a rich
man and, for the present at least, has
but little time to devote to politics.
Sussex Republican.
The assistant Republicans have start
ed out en- the campaign circuit with
their two stiff old horses-Palmer and
Buckner. They don't expect to win
race or take a record with them, but
they hope by foul driving to so inter-
fere with the unquestioned fayorite as
to cause him to lose II they have any
respect for these two old fellows they
will take them off the track before
they get run over and hurt-Cecil
Democrat
Arrangements are being made in

bipartisan Constitutional Convention
ticket next week. The Republicans
will name five Of the ten members and
the Democrats like number, and both
parties support the candidates. The

from Sussex are likely to experience
an unusual degree of cold next winter

Corwin exclaimed: IF / were a Mexi-
can as | am an American, | would vel
come you with bloody hands to hos
pitable graves" The utterance marked
a place from which his fall was rapid
He was siChe-tracked and never after
ward got upon the main line. EdItor
Hynson is not a "Tom" Corwin, but
rabies is rabies, and is fatal alike to

The fruits Of labor are just as essen
tial TO life and comfort as they have
ever been, but in consequence OF the
scarcity Of money the produce of our
toll wiz hardly sell for enough to pay
the cost Of its production.-Seaford

Senator Pyle's consent to a new cleo
ton does him great credit and shows
his faith in his strength before the
people in those districts where the
last elections have been set aside It
is extremely unfortunate that an oc-
casion of this nature should have arisen,
but good may grow out of 1t, for it
pointedly emphasizes the necessity of
applying the same rules and regula-
tions to our primary elections that
now govern the general elections

The visit to Delaware put the Hon.
John Fletcher Salisbury away up on
the political ladder. Mr.. Bryan intro
duced his Dover speech by telling how
Delegate Salisbury cast the first vote
for him in the Chicago Convention and
that he came to Delaware in part 10
please his friend 1t does not matter
that eight years ago six or seven hun
dred Democrats under the Salisbury
influence in Kent county cut the VOL
colt legislative ticket and defeated it.

This is a good time for the conserva-
tive citizens OF Delaware to combine
and put their feet down hard on the
corrupt practices which have been too
common in our state and which have
grown to such an enormity as to make
our people blush with shame and cause
us to be held up to the citizens OF other
states as a community to be put up
every two years at auction TO the high
est bidder.-Delaware Pilot.
The world owes no man a living, but
the world owes every man chance to

Andrew c. Gray, who opposed any
nomination for congressmar! against
Mr.. Handy, made a very telling and
lucid argument; but the odds and the
fates were against him, for the con-
ventiOn felt tlnt its very existence
would be st.dtified II it acquiesced in
the election of an avowed free silver
representative in Congress.-Sunday
Herald.
