This is the way EUeTy EVening states
it; Maine gave about 1000 Republi-
can majority, yesterday, not as an en-
dorsement of Mckinley and protection
but as a protest against Bryan, free
silver coinage, anarchy and reputation
This shows how the tide is running,
in this section of the country, at least.
Democrats who wish to avoid the del
uge in November should flock to the
standard of Palmer, Buckner and
sound money.
"The young Democrat with pOliti-
cal ambitions" says Harper's Weekly,
''who does not follow Carlisle, Fair
child, Gray and Wilson, and oppose
Bryan, is very likely to find he has
missed his opportunity. The EveTy
EUening quotes the above and looking
towards Congressional candidate Han
dy, significantly says: 'In this State
there are a large number of young
Democrats, with and without political
ambitions, who do not propose to ''miss
their opportunities.

The FIGHT TO BE CONTINUED j ohm
F. Salisbury is without doubt the
free silver leader of the Democratic
party in Delaware. He is working his
cards to be the nominee for Senator III
1897 if the Democrats succeed in cap
turing the Legislature. Ex-Chancel-
lor WolcOtt is also an aspirant for the
office of Senator. These two factions
disagreeing and fighting so bitterly in
1888, made it possible for the Repub-
licans to capture the Legislature, who
elected Anthony Higgins to the U. s.
Senate. History is expected to repeat
itself in Kent county Democratic pol
itics in 1897 - Wilmington Repu6G-
can.
EFFORTS AT COMPROMISE. The Hig-
gins Republicans have come half way
down the tree to meet the Addicks Re
publicans in a compromise upon the
electoral ticket. Having already ac-
cepted one Addicks elector, Messrs.
Spruace and Hayes, the Higgins cleo
tors, have united in a letter to Messrs.
Shaw and Wilson, the Addicks electors
from New Castle and Kent counties,
proposing a general and arrangements
for new candidates by mutual agree
meet. The State committee Of the
Union Republicans held a meeting at
Dover yesterday. A dispatch said:
THE Addicks leaders here back their
chief by opposing the slightest COM
promise. They feel that the National
Republican Committee is with them
and that the Higgins faction will be
compelled in the end to withdraw their
electoral ticket Internationally and ac-
cept the Addicks electors.
In an interview Mr.. Addicks said
zone thing is sure, they bOlted the
party in May last and if they return will
be met as the prOdigal son and treated
well. AS L have taken my medicine
in former days so should they take
their medicine now. The State com
mittee may think differently, however,
but 1 shall be satisfied, as have said
that my friends will do what is right
and will not move against me. Per.
sonally 1 should be pleased to treat
any communications from Mr.. .Spruanct
with the highest respect"
