WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 18th, 1896.
Feeling that the election of Mckinley
and Hobart is now absolutely assured, the
Republican managers propose giving more
attention to a spirited attempt, with the
assistance of the sound money Democrats,
to put number of Southern states in the
Republican column than they would have
done had they considered the states neces-
sary for Republican success to be in doubt
This charge upon the south is not rainbow
chasing. 1t approved as good politics,
and as promising substantial results, by
some of the shrewdest workers and man.
ayers in the Republican party. To start
with there are four Southern Subsidiary
land, Delaware, West Virginia and Ken
tucky-which are almost certain to be car
ried by Mckinley and Hobart, and which
are privately conceded by many silver
men as being already lost to Bryan. There
is fighting chance for the Republicans to
carry North Carolina, although ithas been
lessened by the fusing of the Democrats
and Popusts, which some Republicans
think ought to have been prevented. Ten.
nessee Republicans have assured the Ma
tional Committee that the state can be car
ried for Mckinley, if the Committee will
lend its help to get out the full republican
vote, and the committee has promised to
do so. The Republicans will also make a
lively fight in Alabama, not with the ex-
pectatiOn of electing the Mckinley and Hc-
bart electors, but of indirectly helping the
sound money Democrats of that State to
carry some of the Congressional districts
and to elect the Palmer and Buckner cleo
tors. The Alabama Democrats and Pop
ulists ars so hot against each other and
they will probably not fuse.
According to comptroller Eckels, who
has been making sound money speeches in
Illinois. Bryan is thoroughly beaten and
will not carry single one of the Missis-
sippi Valley states He also says that Alt
geld is making his canvass for governor
of illinois Independent of the Bryant cause,
but that he will be beaten anyway.
Even the women in the District of Col
smbia are taking an active part in the
fight for Mckinley and Hobart and honest
money and the right to earn it by honest
toll. The Auxiliary Women's Republican
Association has been organized to assist
the Mckinley and Hobart Marching Cam
paign Club. This is the first women's
club organized in Washington during the
present campaign, its object being. as
stated in its constitution, to unite the
women of this community in educational
work and social influence for the mainten-
ance Of the principles Of the Republican

Higgins Men at georgetown.

The convention OF Higgins Re
publicans met at Georgetown yester-
day, and there was a general desire
to endorse all Of the Union Republi.
can ticket except the legislative
brancn-but outside forces from
Wilmington appeared to control the
delegates.
In tile sheriG's convention part of
the delegates bolted and left it. The
vote resulted in 10 for John H..
Johnson to 7 against him-so he is
on both tickets.
There was spirited debate over
their Constitutional Convention and
up to the hour Of our going to press
the ticket had not been named.

1t is surprising to many that football
players aud other athletes regard a spraiu
or bruise of so little consequence. One
reason of this is, they know how TO treat
such injuries so as to recover from them
in few days, while others would be laid
up for two or three weeks, II not longer.

II the convention of last Tuesday
can be taken as a criterian, our
Democratic friends are as widely
divided as are the Union Republi-
cans and the Higgins boilers, and
therefore tie odds are more and
more in favor of the Union Republi-
can ticket winning throughout Del
aware The outlook is brighter as
election day approaches and the wild
claims by the Higgins boilers, that
they will poll a thousand votes in
Sussex County may be largely dis
counted if not entirely Offset by
Democrats who are dissatisfied with
their county ticket.

When your stomach begins to trouble you
it needs help. The help it needs, is to di-
gest your food, and, until it gets it, you won't
have any peace. Stomach trouble is very
distressing, very obstinate, very dangerous.
Many of the most dangerous diseases begin
with simple indigestion. The reason is that
indigestion (nol-digestion, not nourishmenO
weakens the system aud allows disease
germs to attack it, The autidote is Shaker
Digestive Cordial, Strengthening, nourishiug
curative. 1t cures indigestion and reuews
strength and health. It does this by siren
gtheuing the stomach, by helping it to di.
gest your food. 1t nourishes you. Shaker

plants and wine, is perfectly harmless and

Bryan has proven himself to be big

New York than Senator Hill is. He said
when Hills candidate for Governor, John
Boyd Thatcher, wrote that letter express
ing his willingness to run for Governor on
a platform endorsing the Chicago platform
while declaring himself unalterably OPP
posed to the free coinage of silver, that
Thatcher would have to get off the ticket,

Chairman Babcock, Of the Republican
Congressional Committee, has just re-
turned from New York, where he con-
ferred with Chairman Hanna, Senator
QUAY and other members Of the Republi-
can National Committee, and he is
in a very jubllant state Of mind. He
SAYS that everything is going Mckinley
wards, and that the Republican who isn't
contented with the present drift of public
sentiment must be hard to satisfy indeed.
There is great joy among Republicans
hereabouts Speaker Reed has promised
to address a big Mckinley and Hobart
meeting to be held in Washington, early
in October, under the auspices of the Ma
tlonal Union Republican Club, and Repre-
sentative Cowen, of Maryland, Demo-
crat who is doing good work for MeKin'

Virginia, have already signifed their in

there is little doubt thatit will be a mani

News which Is coming to Washington
from all along the line of Bryan's Eastern
tour makes it certain that his radical utter

are making strong Mckinley men cut Of
thousands of conservative Democrats who
might have swallowed the free coinage
doctrine, but who cannot stand the smash
up, down with everything, which is being
preached by Bryan. These men do noi
believe it to be criminal for men to b
thrifty and accumulate property, nor thai
it is wrong for the government to prOtec
this property if need be. Some of Bryan:
remarks read like quotations from the
speeches of the men who started the French
Revolution, and no sane man wants to SET
a "Reign of Terror" in this country.

The services at the M. P. Church were
well attended last Sunday. Rev. F. H.

IT appears to come natural for
some men to be traitors and liars in
politics while ordinarily good citi-

registration of voters, has been alb
solutely fair, open and honest in
every particular. No man or set OF
men have been misled, or sold out.
The game has absolutely been play

who want to dictate for the great
majority of voters have met in secret

of political friendship and stabbed
their political brethren what they
hoped would be death blows, and
attempted to fuse with Democrats.

already turned coats with the cloak
of a ticket while they will carry into
effect the threat, or insinuation'
made by the Ne,0s and Advertiser
last May that some democrats ar'
likely to get republican UOtes ner
November.
Honor is due men who have the
manhood to go over to the democ
racy openly; but to those who are
attempting to sacrifice the state
ticket-which can have no bearing
on their desire to down Mr.. Addick'

Last Wednesday the boiling Hig-

met at Dover under the direction of
F. E. Bach of Wilmington and Henry
L. Hynson of Milford, who were
prepared to decapitate every man in
the State who does not think as they
do, and ready to befoul the political
porage of the county. No delegates
were elected-it was not necessary
for it took all in the county to make
up the meeting.
The intention of the leaders was
to name full ticket, but the more
conservative men thought it best to
name the legislative branch and en-
dorse the balance of the Union Re-
publican county ticket-which was
done. Their ticket stands as fol-
lows:
