ELECTORS ARE IN DOUBT,
A HEAVY VOTE BEING POILED,

ON IT-ADDICKS is BEATEN.
AND HE NOW LIVES ONLY FOR
REVENGE UPON BACH AND
HIGGINS.
The battle of ballots is now on, and
is being waged iercely in all parts Of
the city, county and state, and, In fact.
all over the United States. In Della
ware the prospect is that 1t will result
in Democratic victory in all three
counties, although some Of the candi-
dates may not pull through with the
rest OF the ticket
The regular Republicans have been
counting upon Addicks aid to elect
some of their machine-made candi-
dates, but this morning the word was
quietly passed along the Addicks line
to knife every regular Repub-
lican on the Addicks ticket, and
to use every effort to prevent
the election of any regular Re
publican candidate. II the Addicks
voters obey these quiet instructions,
and there is every reason to believe
that they will be only too willing to do
so, there will not be a regular Repub-
lican left to tell the tale ofto-day CON
fiict.
Ebe w. Tunnel will be elected gov
ernor.
L. Irving Handy will be sent to CON
gress.
The Democrats will carry the Legis-
lature and Constitutional Convention,
as well as the Levy Court and other
county officers. and the Republicans
will be fortunate, indeed, II they get
the presidential electors.
This is a synopsis OF the election
story which will be printed to-mor-
row, in spite OF regular Republican as
sertions and Addicks money.
BIG VOTE BEING POLLED.
A big vote is being polled in all parts
OF the city and state. The various
party workers are sparing no effort to
get out every man registered, and they
are finding it easy work, for the in
terest in the issue is so general that
every man who has a vote wishes to
cast it to uphold his convictions The
Democrats are particularly fortunate
in this respect.
Republican employers have spies In
| all Of the wards to report upon the way
in which the workingmen voted. but
the Democrats are af1ording this in
timidated class every opportunity to
| express its true sentiments at the polls,
free from the prying eye Of the mlnions
Of capital.
THREE UNCERTAIN ELEMENTS.
There are three uncertain elements
in the fight. First and foremost, come
the Honest Money Democrats, who have
an electoral and congressional ticket
in the field. Their leaders claim from
1000 to $500 votes on the electoral
ticket, but admit that the vote foI
Thomas +. Bayard, Jr., their congress
siOnal candidate, will fall far below
that on account OF the disinclination oi
many anti-Bryan men to extend the
cut to the state ticket, and they feal
that to cut Handy will mean the re
turn to Congress Of Jonathan S. Willis
an Addicksite. The regular Democrats
agree that there are several hundred
Palmer and Buckner votes in the state
but laugh when told that the number
will be between 1000 and 3000
Next in Importance comes the Singl'
, Tax element. There is scarcely
. limit to the claims OF the managers 0
| the Single Tax campaign. Their fig
ures run up into the thousands, ant
until the votes are counted the full ef
/ feet OF their active and aggressive cam
| paign OF education, extending over
/ period OF several months, will not b
apparent. That they will be disap
pointed when the official figures ar
given out goes without saying, for the
are sanguine of making an excelien
showing Their votes will all be cas-
! for Bryan and Sewall, and several othe
l Democrats are in their good graces, in
cluding Mr. Handy the regular Demo
cratic congressional nominee.
The Republicans have a free silve
7 sentiment in the party, and the indica
tions are that Bryan and Sewall wi
receive several hundred Republica
> votes, although the rest Of the Demo
cratic ticket will not profit by this ser

Regular Republicans have thei
hands full in holding the Addicksite
in check in New Castle county, Will
in Kent and Sussex counties the AC

;. regular Republicans in check. W..
these two parties and the Single Ta'
ers, Honest Money Democrats and Pr.

It it means victory all along the line.
