from principle We found fault with
it two years ago because il refused to
support Bancroft. But the Journal per-
sited that he was not a Democrat. We
didn't believe it then, but we do now,
and here's our hand on it. We take
back all we said then. You were right.
Bancroft never was a Democrat, and
like the hybrid sheet he controls, he
only plays the party when 1t suits him.

Shall the whole Republican ticket in
the state be defeated to crafty the am
Dition or revenge of one man? AS mat
ters stand the Republican party could
win the election in this state if united
without the use Of a dollar, yet the
plea for Doodle is the only excuse for
/ the disturbing cause in our ranks, Mr..
/ Addicks. Mr.. Addicks defeated the
| election of a senator in the last Cen
eral Assembly and it looks as though
he proposes to defeat the whole Repub-
lican ticket in yember.-Middle
town Transcript.
The registration of last Saturday
passed of very satisfactorily through
out he county. All qualified persons
| presenting receipts will be registered
| Those with antiquated tax receipts or
written with pencil or Bible records of
/ doubtful date may expect to be set
aside.-Delaware Pilot.
Since Addicks declines any compro.
mise, and will consent to nothing that
| does not give him absolute sway, let
| his slogan of "Addicks or Nobody" be
accepted. Let every true Republican
accept the issue raised and battle with
all his might and with the heroism of
| self-sacrifice. Let the fight with Adj
| dicks be made with the knife, and the
knife to the hilt. Let the servants and
abettors receive the same treatment
that is given the master. In a politi
cal sense, let them be welcomed with
bloody hands to hospitable graves. -

A Delaware boy has been honored by
being elected captain Of the u. of p.
football team. Once more our little
state has proved that she is to be at the
front in all things.-New Castle News.
Some evil disposed and designing
persons are trying to make trouble be
tween friends by asserting that J. f
| salisbury is to be a beneficiary at the
hands of the Legislature if the Demo-
cratic party is successful. . Mr.. Sauls-
! bury authorizes us to say that he is
not a candidate for any office in the
gift of the people Of Delaware and that
he is not fighting for place or position
of any kind.-Dover Delawarean.
The so-called regular Republicans
are now crying for recognition from
the Union Republicans-the baby that
recently owned the earth, is now cry
ing for the moOn.-Dover State Sen

Major McKinleys friends claim
Ohio by 100,000 A majority of, say,
/ $4,000 is what we expect from Mr.. Nc
Kinley's home state.-Elkton Appeal,
It is undoubtedly a fact that no com
promise will be given by the Addicks
people, who feel sure of recognition by
the National Committee, and it is con-
ceded by knowing ones that the Hig-
| gins ticket will be withdrawn before
many days.-Milford Herald.
1t was Thomas c. Platt, of New
| York-Platt, the brilliant, the adroit
the peTsistent-who choked down the
straddle and forced the convention
away from it's intention, and forced on
it the currency plank as it was finally
written.-Easton Ledger.
Vote, as justice requires, to restore
the old contract. Vote to help your
selves. Vote for Bryan the money of
the constitution and the uplifting Of
the agricultural interests.-Delaware
Record.
But there is entirely too much dearth
in the discussion of what the new con-
| sttution shall be. Men are looking
over this all important matter in their
zeal for party safety and party sue
cess. Men from all classes of life
should be awake and publishing their
views as to the subject matter of the
new constituhon.-Sussex Journal.
But there seems to be mo compro
misc" on the part of Addicks. He must
be the supreme ruler of the Republican
party and all must bow low and wor
, ship at the shrine of the golden calf
Sussex Republican.
Let us say in conclusion this much
should Addicks' rule or ruin policy
force Shaw and Wilson upon the un
willing Republican voters, and they
: should be elected and the election o
Mckinley depended upon their votes
they will have to vote for McKinley
b freely and without price, or their stal
: in Delaware will be brief and painful
, There is a limit to public endurance
? Public opinion is rapidly growing OF
/ this point. There will be an end {,
