Politics are getting to be more of busl-
ness every. year. For example look at the
number OF lawyers that are prominentin
politics In the State Of Delaware. There
lighting Anthony Higgins lawyer for
Republican leadership In the State. Near
~ every lawyer in the city and State is
arrayea against him. WhyP Consult
some other authority than the writer of
this article. 1t should not DO, as the
number OF lawyers now representing the
people in Congress is nearly two thirds Of

from the senatorial contest on the Demo-
cratic ticket, came out In letter to the
Democratic press on Saturday afternoon
giving his reason for not entering into an
other contest with Senator John Pyle on
Saturday as recommended by tho Demo-
cratic State Central Committee. He was
afraid of the machine with the nomina.

and the part Of another ward, which had
given him over two hundred majority. He

winds up his letter by saying that all that
Is needed In returning majority at q
Democratic nomination was barrel,

was quicker method than voting one
ballot ut time.
Mr.. Stayton stated the whole case in q
nut shell although We don't think he in.
tended to tell the truth when he pcnned
his letter for publication.
DE- j. II. Fahey in card in the Sunday
star says he has package at his druge
store for Mr. Stayton, that contains q larg-
bottle, with rubber tube and nipple at
tuched and ono can of condensed milk.
We can't for thu life Of us see what use

Few of our readers know how Samuel
Price secured.thc position rs city treasurer,
Adams Clerk Milton Ssmpers who was
defeated candidate for city Troasur on the
Republican ticket had been offered by
city Treasurer Adams tho position as
Clerk. The first morning after the city
Treasurer took possession Shippers failed to
turn up.
The beginning of tho second day City
Treasurer Adams besought 5. II. Baynard
II he knew of a good capable man for the
position. Mr.. b. replied that he did not.
Half an hour afterwards Samuel Price
walked Into Mr.. BIS store and putting his
hand down on one of the show cases said
he WIS looking for job, that he knew
how to keep books, having held u position
IN his younger days in one of the banks
In our city. Ho said he had awakened
about 4 o'clock in the morning and
thought Of Mr.. b. and had never closed
his eyes afterwards and so here he was.
Mr.. B. replied go over and sec Mr.. Ad.
ans perhaps he could tell him something
to his advantage. After making inquiry
from several ciIizcns about capabilitity no
was given the position and he filed it with
credit to the city. So here was u political pc.
siton that the applicant did not have to get
any signers to his petition but made IL ver-
bal one for it. He filled it for two years
being succeeded by the present Democratic
Clerk Mr.. kolberg.
When Mr.. Bryan was in our city nearly
q year ago ms guest OF Mr.. Is. Lundy
Kent he was unnoticed by the Demo-
cratic leaders. When in our city few
weeks ago he, against the earnest soliCi.
tatiOns Of the Democratic managers that
he should not 20, went to Mr. Kent's resi-.
dcncc, for he. being Popullst, it wds
not policy to be his guest on this occasion.
But he went, nevertheless. Mr. and Mrs
Kent being out when lie called, he was
entertained by ncigh5or who Aid the
honors, though not u silverite by any
means.
Children make quaint remarks, for in.
stance, little child asked on Bryan's
visit to our city, il her father and mother
meeting which was addressed by the Popu-
listic Democratic Candidate at the Audi.
torium? Bryan said that he had few
friends when on his first visit toWilming-
ton and he never forgot friend and he
went.
Senator Higgins Is said to have covered
himself with glory. That the withdrawal
of Messrs Sprunnco and Hayes from tho
regular Republican ticket as electors was
at the ex-Scnator's solicitation. Such is |
not the fact MS tho writer Of this article
was assured nearly two weeks before they
were Withdrawn that such would be done. |
Mr.. Spruance more than anybody can tho !
Republican voters Of Delaware thank for
this wise move. Mr.. Higgins is not poll
tician enough even to suggest, much less |
carry out such a plan. There is no doubt
the Regulars or Higgins Republicans will
get all of the Federal pluns to DO given |
out in Delaware in the advent of Mckin-
eys election rs President. But tho
managers want to go slow, exceedingly
slow if they ever want to cement tho two
factions together, and carry the
State for the Republican party.
The story that is going the rounds about
5he Addicks Republicans, being used by
The down State Democrats to try and keep
hem from etfecting compromise, is all
| myth.
