POLITIC'L NOTES.

Foard Not SO Obliging as County OiticlaI
Should BE.
Anthony Higgins and Jonathan S.
Willis met by chance OH Market below
Ninth street, on Wednesday afternoon,
and engaged In earnest conversation. Mr..
Lewis b. Morrow was an interested
spectator and while the confab lasted be-
tween tho representatives Of the two fac
tions OF the Republicans Lew WAS only
silent listener
Anthony and Jonathan kept up this low
Of oxygen for some twenty minutes,
raking up back sings that they were re-
ported to have said of one another Their
conversation was very animated at times
and attracted the attention of even that
astute politician Willard Salisbury, who
after the confab was over called to Lewis
Morrow and wanted to know what WAS
up. Lewis enlightened him AS much as
was necessary and Willard felt thereby
greatly relieved after he knew 1t all.
Mr.. Willis is as hopeful ms anyone
could feel under the circumstances, In fact
his feelings are no doubt something like
the man who was drowning, who felt
something clutching at his legs to help
weigh him down. He Is wearing regu.
lar Hanna, Mckinley smile on his face.
We are pleased to chronicle the fact
that Mr.. Stansbury j, Wiley is back
again at his post of duty at tho Union Re-
publican Club.
The rooms of the Union Republican
Club were filed all day yesterday with
men who have thus far failed procure
their county tax receipts, which will
thereby enable them to vote. Howard
Staats and Colonel n. p Barnard were
kept ss busy as beavers attending to tho
crowd as they kept up their applications
for the necessary long green to capture
their coveted tax receipt We only hope
the good work Is kept up until all Repub.
licans have their tax receipts, and then
get registered and vote on November Bird,
II by any chance Delaware should 20
Democratic In November what running
of leaders to get in out of the wet.
Mr.. Edward e. Bradford Is not taking
any part in this campaign whatever, but
is looking on Mt the noise and hustle made
by the other fellows who know it all
Clerk Of the Peace j. b. Foard Is deter.
mined not to be any ways obligng to Re.
publicans In particular, if he can holp it In
his official capacity. As II politician, hc
has learned fast, very fast indeed But
what does 1t profit man If he gains the
whole world and loses tho respect aud es-
teen of his fellow men in the shuttle.
AS II Democrat he undoubtedly has the
right, and should do all In his power to
help his party to success, but he should
not stoop t. meanness. to accomplish the
desired end. Manliness always pays In
every man even in politicians
The compromise is Il long WAYS off he.
tween the two warning factions in the Re.
publican party. 1t is war to the knife now
until the polls close in November. Too
bad for the Republicans in Delaware. But
such Is politics when there arc more pegs
than there arc holes to fill them. The
bigger fish generally eat up the smaller
ones In the savage fight for supremacy.
When leaders get beyond their party,
the party then hunts around for new
leaders. Long live the Republican party
In Delaware. An old subscriber writ G,
that he Is glad to 500 the REPUBLICAN ad.
yocating compromise, Another man
says to hi with all compromise. Auothar
says DIN both factions let's got upa now
one. He evidently forgets that it takes
money to runa campaign and for legti-
mate expenses at that. Lots of men in
Wilmington have unselfshly given largo
sums of moncyto the Republican parEy
for campaign purposes. The quantity Of
money being circulated this cam u On is
not very large Both sides thus far lave
not had any surplus to throw AWAY
John II, Holfcckcr says he can't sec VIII, re
any compromise is to benefit him, If he is
to be sacrificed on the ticket, lie evident
ly can see beyond his nose, and read tho
signs as he walks.
With two Republican tickets in the
field what Is going to be the resutP Re
ferred to either Fred Eden Bach or w. G.
r. Colquhouu.
Prophets arc very numerous and prepar-
ing to hand their names down to future
posterity.
L. Irving Handy says no regard. Della
ware as safely Democrats on the State
and county tickets. AS to the electoral
ticket Delaware is doubtful State He
regards tho division Of The Republican
party on tho county ticket us the means
Of the Democratic ticket being SUCCESS
full. So Mr.. Handy is not at all certain
as to the outlook for the democratic party
although he keeps whistling to keep up
his courage,
General Wilson Is said to have received
letter from Senator Frey" expressing
pleasure ut being able TO SEQ him and ex.
Senator Higgins. We hope our citizens
may be able 70 hear the gentleman speak
In our city, and we DON'T caro- tudor whose
auspices he comes either
One week more and tho tickets will be
handed i'll to Clork FOard and then al
compromise will he nj an end.
