The Young Mems Democratic Club, the
swallow tail organization Of Delaware
gave brilliant reception to Ebe W. Tun.
nell, the open faced candidate for Govern.
or, and l. Irving Handy the husky head.
cd candidate for Congress last evening,
in their rooms on Market street above
Eighth street. The reception took place
on the second floor of the club house and
every politician and office holder In New
Castle county was on hand. John L.
Dickey circulated around with his right
hand friend John 7. Carswell who wants
to succeed John 4. in the County tax
Office. Then John Pyle and Thomas
N. Stayton were on hand and looked as
lovingly as two Methodist brethren at n
love feast.
Even Billy Gibbons was on hand who
told Tunnel to his face ut Woodland
Beach that he did not intend to vote for
him Tho club has some four hundred
and sixty members. Said the writer of
this article TO one of the prominent mem-
bsrs OF the club: Are the Gold Democrats
going to DO bounced from ihe clubp' Well

The hand bill giving the prices of mcr-
chandise and labor in Mexico and the
comparison in tho United States is great
Instructor. They are facts and not mere
campaign rot, which Is being circulated
all aver the country, making the life OF the
mail clerks and letter carriers miserable.
The types made us say yesterday that
Mr.. Stansbury Wiley was taken sick on
last Thursday, it should have read Tues
day. We understand he ID better to-day.
Senator Robert llanby of Brandywine
Hundred is rather ndisposed and Is not
taking very active interest in politics,
during this campaign.
Mr. Frederick Pyle who represented
Wilmington In the House at the last
Legislature got his fill OF politics during
the last session. He is not DESTROYS of
representing his constituents again in
that body. He was utterly disguised with
the ways that were used in manipulating
politics. No more for him. lie saw
politicians worked for merely personal
ends in view.
The speech that Peter J. Ford made be-
fore the session of the Legislature four
years ago in the Sllvcrbrook controversy
placed him speaker Of no mean ability
He fairly electrified all that heard him,
and made the speech of his life in defense
of his factory interest and which undoubt.
edly won over the Legislature to him a nd
thereby carried his point. Even Willard
Salisbury with all his natural elo-
qucnce could not talk Peters interest
down. Willard then represented the Jcs-
sup g. Moore Company.
Strange things do happen when our
readers are reminded that Willard fought
Peter J. hard for 10 years in the Silver
brook controversy and then championed
his cause as the choice of New Castle Dem
ocrat5 for the position of Governor of tho
State Of Delaware. 1t is an old and true
saying that politics make strange compan-
ians.
County Tax Collector John I. Dickcy is
giving everybody who has the long green
their tax receipt without putting thom to
much trouble. The easy manner in which
tax receipts can BE- had should insure the
election of the whole Republican ticket
in Delaware.
We can't say thut we approve Of the
method employed by tho warden of New
Castle jail In getting square with the
representative OF the Evening journal.
The provocaton was grear but it did not
justify the breaking Of the law. News.
paper men should always give everyone
u respectable hearing and do rs they
would be done by.
