WHAT THE DELAWARE AND EAST |
ERN SHORE EDITORS ARE
THINKING OF.
The Single Tax ticket is complete and
the names Of Bryan and Sewall cleo
tors and l.. /. Handy, candidate for
Congress, appear thereon. Thus the
movement for reform in the state is
connected with the movement for re-
form in the nation.-Delawar Econo-
mist.
Outside OF two or three small West
ern States, the detection in the Repub-
lican ranks can safely be counted as
very small, and as to leaders, or men
of prominence, who have deserted the
Republicans in this campaign, the list
is so insignificant as to be scarcely
worthy OF mention. How is 1t on the
Democratic side?-Elkton Appeal.
The Democratic state ticket-and by
that we mean Ebe W. Tunnel, l.. Irv-
ing Handy and the balance of the regu-
lar nominees-is being heartily en-
dorsed. II means that Democrats do not
propose TO throw away their votes on
candidates who find it hard to get a
design for the head of their ticket The

they will receive the heartiest support
in November at the polls. They de-
serve 1t. There must be no antagOnism
Observation-Disclosures Ledger.
While it was a matter of regret that
Senator Gray should have felt impelled
to retire from the Democratic Constitu-
tional Convention ticket, it is a source
of congratulation that so good a nomi-
nee as Robert G. Harman has been Sc
lected to take his place.-Every Even
ing.
Are the Republicans OF Delaware
playing a game of blum for the benefit
of the Democrats? They will bear
watching. A United States senator is
at stake.-SusseX Countian.
We are certain that not an Addicks
man will be lected in Delaware this
/ FAN, not one, excepting the two on the
electoral ticket, and to vote for any one
of them is to throw your vote away
It costs too much time, trouble and
money for our people to get the right
and qualification to vote for any one
of them to throw his vote away. We
want our readers one and all to stanC
by the old colors, by the eagle and by
their principles. If you do this now
the state will be redeemed and tru,
ReDublicanism will prevail-Afro
American Citizen.
There is about as much Democrac!
in Palmer as there is in the editor o
the Every Evening as much il
/ the two combined as there is religion
in hell.-New Castle News.
For John c. Higgins to try to defea
the Republican party in this state ant
succeed would be disastrous alike &
him and all other Republicans; but 70
him to fail would make him ridiculous
We suggest that there is a very larg
: probability Of failure IN the effort {
! defeat John II. Hoffecker.-State Sen
tinel
II Cleveland has piled up mountain
3 OF bonds, that would not decide tn
, wages of the laboring man. Free sil
yer is a vital stab at the wages of tn
workingman. 1t will lower them, /
that it will decrease their purchasin
power.-Morning News.
We believe one man stands betwee
d the Republican party and victory. II
d humiliating to acknowledge that cor
o dition. The man is ]. E. Addicks. II
has deprived the state of the service
: Of a senator and has it within h
: power to defeat the party in the stat
e This is spoken not in a harsh sense, bl
y as a plain fact, and it is only becau'
y so many Republicans have submitts
l. to his dictation. We know that mar
!, Of his political friends favor a compr
mise, but he has said: Il will new
= compromise" and so far his will hi
E. stood. II is because of Mr.. Addicks' a
It sumption as a dictator that so mar
men would never vote his ticket thoui
' il was the only one.-Middletov
