| WILMINGTON, August 10.-A Democrati
paper last evening informed its readers T.
look ont for meteOrs. The political me
teors have been falling for some time
The three Democratic clerks of the peac
tried to put II daInper ON Addlcks and t,
cause an eclipse of his political SUM- AM
one who would have any doubts about thu
Addicks standing to-day should just take
look into the Kent county convention
and to-day read his advocacy in every
nnme Of tho men to be selected.
But lots OF the workers are puzzled over
his actions in New Castle county. A few
weeks ago he requested his followers tC
form county committee. 1t was formed
and then it adjourned to meet last Satur-
| day. New Castle hundred Republicans in
| May last turned General Wilson down
| and, elected aplain workinglnan as dele
gate to the State Convention.
The first district committee then saw
| that New Castle was n stronghold of Ad-
dicks.
If that hundred that cut down the BAN
/ ner majority n few years ago got an ap-
portionmcnt for the Legislature an Ad-
dicks man would surely be nominated
New Castle and Blackbird were accord
ingly cut out. This ut once set the work
ers to thinking and they determined to
give New Castle Representative on the
Union Republican ticket. That part of
the program was settled to be performed
last saturday at the meeting
1t WAS 30 before the meeting was call
ed TO order After the reading Of the
minutes one OF tho city delegates asked
for motion to adjourn
il An eighth wardcr sprany to his feet at
once with an amendment adding 'sno
dio' to the motion. Although out of or
der II two hours debate took place. The
delegates understood that the password
was flight"
Yet here in different hundreds hand
ful of voters went to the polls and now
the "Rcgulars' claim that each place was
contested except tho Fourth District,
whore Fosters friends refused to compro.
mise. They could easily have beaten Bob
Morrison but they acted under instruc-
tions to keep away Finally the Eighth
warder withdrew his amendment.
The taxes of the followers of Addicl1s
must be paid, and if the gas man warts
the workingmcn to support him then he
must let them do the work and he must
furnish the ammunition.
There Is likely to be fun vt New Castle
tonight when the hundred Democrats
assemble to nominate delegates to the
State Convention.
Harold Suddcll, Joo Carlin, John Walls
and host of other hnrd-shell Democrats
will try to be nominated on the grounds
of the single tax idea. The straight laced
Bryan and Sewall people will oppose every
man of them.
Then again some want to give compli-
mentary vote to DIR. Black in Dover The
doctor is good swallowtai and would
take tho office If offered to him.
With George Gray as Senator, his other
brother-in-law as Collector of Port and
Samuel Black drawing n salary fox moth
ing. That is just the sum and substance
of the matter for Sam goes away, for trip
and always travels dead head" on the
tugs and steamers and the newspaper cor
respondents never say he is away for then
the Government would sec he was not
watching the smugslers and the lllibus-
tiers.
Some then would like to send Ford men
to Dover because they used Ford's checks
before and then went back on him on the
day of election.
Toman cannot take hand for if he
opposes Ford and Ford is defeated, then
Jim bad better put on strong armour for
there arc fully 1900 friends of Ford who
will knife Toman.
that New Castle is full of free silver men
and that Handy is u favorite Sherman
has said.
"The farmer could not gain anything
directly from the free col nage of silver or
indirectly, except in paying debts in cheap
coin. This free silver question seems to
puzzle great many people, but il we go
to tho bottom of it we find it very simple
indeed.
"Thc meaning of free silver coinage is
that all holders of the metal, whether
they get it out of the rocks, or take their
silver spoons, or their Mexican dollars, or
any form of silver anywhere at home or
abroad, and deliver it to the Mint, can get
from the government of the U. S. silver
dollars, which are, of course, as they al
ways have becn, lawful money without
limit.
Formerly when there was no restrictio,
upon coinage, there was II charge of from
to / = per cent. to the silver producer for
converting his product into coin. That
has been done away with and If tho
Democratic Chicago platform is carried
out the government takes charge of the
silver mines and turns it over in United
States coin to the silver men, and the
general public bear the expense of |
the conversion of the silver bullion into
dollars
If the idle Democrats of New Castle who |
owe the storekecpers, have pledged their
watches and bicycles, arc willing to work
for silver and pay gold prices for every |
thing, then they cannot be stopped hut |
thcit votes can be killed by united ic.ion
on the part Of Republicans and honest
law. abiding citizens from the Democratic |
party, who will vote for electors for an |
honest man, IN honest Government and |
an honest dollar with protection to the
American workingmnn and his home
Sussex county Is making great blow
about wanting the Governor from that
part of the State They can rest assured
that he will come from either Kent or
New Castle county and he will be no
Democrat. He will be either Hoifeckcr or
Higgins.
Wilmington workers in the Democratic
party are elatcd that tho taxes of over 1910
Republicans have not been paid. They
Expect to elect the whole ticket, but it
would be safer not to count their chickens
100 early, for the Republican thunder of
unity might kill the birds in the eggs.
