DELAWARE now has Eve Guberna-
torial candidates in the field, and the
writer has the pleasure of an acqr amt
ance with four Of them. 1t is source
of satisfaction to- know and to state
that any Of the four, if elected, will
make most acceptable governor. The
Silver Prohibitionist may be equally
we'll qualified as the others, but even
his name has slipped US. Daniel Green,
the Sound Money Prohibitionist,t though
not so we'll known, perhaps, as Messrs.
J yHiggirs, Hoffecker. and Tunnel, yet
like them he is we'll qualified to do
honor and credit to the office if the
people should elect him, which in no
way appears probable. 1t is said that
the Single Takers are looking for can
didate and it is to be hoped that they
may find one Of the same character as
the others, if they must have a candi-
date to show how little strength they
really have in the State.

A special train, consisting of a dining.

AN EXPLANATION DESIRED.


Man is said to be creature of rea-
son. Delaware Republicans should
show themselves reasonable and should
act from the dictates Of reason. Re.
publican newspapers should lead in this
matter and by plain statement of
facts should aim at thestruth. All are
agreed that many important issues are
involved in this campaign, and the way
for Republicans TO get together is to
consider the truth and then act with
reason.
The TRANSCRIPT has a query to sub
m it to Mr.. Addicks special organ, the
State Sentinel, for information. 1t is
tn e substance, SO said, of Mr.. Addicks
speach before the members of the
National Committee at st. Louis
" | made Mr.. Higgins Senator, and
defeated him."
1t is not of the defeat that we inquire,
that is understood, the how and why
and wherefor-but in what way did
Mr.. Addicks make Mr.. Higgins Sent
ator ? The Sentinel has said that a
the time of Mr.. Higgins election Mr..
Addicks was not known to dozen
people down The ate. Mr.. Addicks
statement is very strange one except
with one explanation-tha it is false.
There may be another. If so, what is it /?
If the Sentinel will not explain per-
haps the other papers which are oc-
casionally favorable TO the Addicks
cause will do so. 1t does not matter
as to the source of the explanation, so |
i is made-August 1st, 1896.

ident hope that the great body of the
Republican and Democratic parties
representing the conservative elements

matter of the free coinage of silver and
the degradation Of The standard of val

but Of honor and good faith. When
their hoEr is involved, the people
never fail to respond. They have COM

every debt contracted since the organi-
cation of the national Government, as |
1t became due. They have paid four
fifths Of the debts contracted during |
The Civil War, and the prospect was

for refusing to support Bryan or the

sonable men will heed. Senator Gray
was among the Vice Presidents,
though he could not attend the meet
ing. The large auditorium was crow ded
the attendants being chiefly Demo-
Gratis. 1t was Democratic protest
against the surrender of Democratic
principles to Popuiism. Every honest
Democrat who has believed in sound
money and has yielded that belief to
party dictation. must have respect for
the men who, in the language of Major
Byrne in calling the meeting to order,
"love their country above their party
and hold American order above party
fealty.o Certainly such patriotism is
the hope Of the country. 1t costs a
man to separate from his party but
when his party forsakes all to waich
he has held what can the honest citizen
do? Ex-Congressman Perry Belmont
who presided al the meeting on Tues
day evening, referring to the choice of
candidates, said: IA Republican un-
tainted by such doctrines is infinitely
to be preferred to Democrat who for
swears his allegiance to Democratic
principles and countenances the be-
trayal of his party to Populism." As

the Corkran meeting it is an evidence
Of patriotism.

better telegraph for assistance to drive
the crowd away. The station master
thought the suggestion a good one, and
endeavored to put 1t in force, but found
that the telegraph wires had been tam
pered with, so that communication with
other stations was completely cut or
The meeting finally broke UP, and the
crowd scattered. The next night 500
"Haberers" assembled and held a grand
court in Steinhoring, short distance
away. The assistant forester at Hafold-
ing and the postmaster at Saurlach were
designated as culprist, and a posse was
sent to haul them before the court. The
condemned men were dragged from
their beds and brought before their
self-constituted judges who read a long
indictment to them reciting their sins. In
the meantime the presence of the 'Ha-
berers" had become known far and wide,
and the inhabitants of the outlying viii
lagos arose from their beds, FASTENED in
the direction of the scene, but they were
awed by the mob. The gendarmes in the
district were totally unaware Of the meet
ing and not single "haberer" was identi
fed. The authorities, with the intention
of Furnishing the inhabitants of the viii
lagos invaded by the mob for their cow
ardice, quartered company of soldiers
among them, whom they had to support
for the next six weeks. The authorities
tried in every way to get the ringleaders
of the "haberers' into their clutches but
their victims feared to inform upon them
and they were consequently never appre-
hended. Now they have been brought up
with a round turn. and it is safe to as
sumo that they will be severely dealt
with.
The imperial trade returns for the first
eight months of 1895 show an increase of
2,57O 14S tons of imports, and 1,2S0,750 tons
of exports over the corresponding period

The Polish national movement is again
causing considerable anxiety to the gov
eminent although nothing of a serious
nature is supposed to be imminent but
there is abundant evidence that the con-
tlnued efforts of the government to Ger
manize Prussian Poland have met with
very small degree of success. The ma
tlonal spirit in that territory is very
strong, and 1t is being fostered by the
Roman Catholic clergy. Many instances
of boycotting and otherwise annoying
German settlers are reported and these
show that the feeling of discomfort is
widespread. On the occasion Of the re-
cent visit OF Archbishop Stablewsh 10
SpalenitEa the populace became greatly
excited and in the hight OF their frenzy
administered a severe mauling to the inn
perial representative. This act has caus-
cd great Indignation among the inhab

a CHRISTIAN ZONE IN TURKEY.
Safety of Its Armenian Residents to
BE Guaranteed by the Powers

London, Oct. 4.-The Daily Mail will
publish a dispatch from Vienna to-mor-
row confirming the report that the powers
have agreed upon pacific settlement
of the eastern question honorable to ali
the parties concerned, and amply guard
ing the future security of the Armeni-
ans. The dispatch adds that the leading
feature of the agreement is the forma-
tion of a Christian zone, on the basis of
the Jewish pale in Russia, in which Sc
curity of life and property will be as
sured the Armenians by all the powers,
or some of them, any nee
essary active operations to be
undertaken by Great Britain France and
Russia, and perhaps Italy.
The Daily News will tomorrow publish
an interview had by it's correspondent in
Geneva with Caro- and Hratch, two of the
leaders of the Armenian refugees. They
give a graphic description of the recent
outbreak in Constantinople and declare
that the revolutionary committee in Con>
stantinople would wait for perhaps a
month to see whether the powers would
act. If they did not, the committee would
again write to the embassies asking
whether they would keep their promises.
They professed to have no knowledge or
the precise lines of the next upheaval, il
y
it would be terrible. They repudiated any
animosity against the Turkish nation,
saying that they warred only against the
government. When 1t was proposed last
August to set fire to Constantinople they
had negatived the proposal because il
would have been cruel. They had sup
ported the plan to attack the imperial
Ottoman Bank in preference to doing any
thing that would cause suffering to the
residents of Constantinople. They added
that they would not hesitate to kill sol
diers and policemen, but they would not
injure peaceable people. The government,
they significantly said, might reflect that
the scheme for the burning Of Constan-
tinople might have been more easily er-
fected than the capture Of the Ottoman
Bank. The city was built of wood, ana
could be quickly destroyed
The Constantinople correspondent of the
Chronicle telegraphs that the Ottoman
Bank and the agents of Credit Lyonnaise
are sending away large quantities of Sc
curities. 1t is stated that the latter for
warded million francs worth of securi-
ties to Paris few days ago.

News of Gen. MelguizO's Defeat Fell
Like n Bomb She'll at Havana.
New York, Oct. A special dispatch
to the Herald from Havana, Cuba, dated
Oct 8, says: Capt. Gen. Weyler's initial
operations inaugurating the campaign in
the extreme west, intended to trap Maceo,
or defeat and drive him east, have proved
a failure.
Gen. Melguizo who, as military gov
ernor of Pinar del Rio, was delegated by
the captain general to start the ball, has
been defeated in three successive engage
ments with Maceo in the mountains Of
Pinar del Rio, where, with the combined
columns of Coils. Frances and Herman
dez, he attacked the rebel positions.
Those columns suffered tremendous
losses, and were compelled to retreat to
the coast. The news fell like bombsheh
in the palace. The captain general will
not permit the Havana reporters of the
foreign papers to wire the facts, and ne
gave strict orders to the press censor and
postoffce officials TO use every effort to
prevent the news of the failure OF his
plans from getting out.
THE editor of Ell Diaro del Ejercito, the
army organ, whose paper is seldom, II
ever censured. daring to print a few de-
tails. was called to the palace by the cap
tain general and severely reprimanded.
