1t WIN Help the Democratic state ancr
County Tickets

1t WIN Help the Democratic state ands
County Tickets
II is announced that some OF the
ounl.Monoy Democrats Of Kent and
Sussex counties hesitate to sign the
roll of the Honest Money Democratic
League of Delaware, and thereby give
endorsement to the movement for a
Palmer and Buckner electoral ticket.
from fear that such an electoral ticket
may keep Democratic votes from Tun-
nell for Governor and from the Demo-
cratic county tickets.
We are firmly convinced to the con
trary. We believe that Palmer and
Buckner electoral ticket will tend to
draw votes to Tunnel and the Demo-
cratic county tickets throughout tho
State, which otherwise they would lose.
In the first place, 1t Is known that
there are in Delaware large mum Der
of Sound Money Democrats who will
not, under any circumstances, vote for
the Bryan and Sewall electoral ticket.
1t is also fact that these Democrats,
TO man, are DESTROYS of voting for Tun-
nell and the Democratic county tickets,
Manifestly, then, it is good purity
policy 10 make it easy for them to do
so. Any obstacles thrown in their way
will he at the expense of Tunnel and
these local tickets.
A Palmer and Buckner electoral
ticket on the official ballot would be
followed By Tunnel and tho Demo-
cratic county tickets. The Sound
Money Democrats. therefore, when
they voted, would simply mark cross
at the proper place on the ticket and
that would end it, Tunnel and the
Democratic county tickets would get
the full benefit of their votes.
But, suppose the Official ballot con-
tanned no Sound Money Democratic
electors. The Sound Money Democrats,
in order to vote for Tunnel and the
Democratic county tickets, would be
forced TO the alternative of voting for
the Bryan and Sewall electors or voting
a split ticket, II they voted at all. The
former thoy would not do. The voting
OF split ticket is matter of some
difficulty. and considerable trouble,
although it can he done. To render il
difficult for man to vote is to run the
risk of keeping him away from the polls.
We contend. therefore, that the cause
of Tunnel and the Democratic county
tickets would be materially advanced
by Palmer and Buckner electora
ticket on the official ballot. They wout
receive, in that event, the benefit OIL
the full Sound Money Democratic
strength throughout the State.
Certainly, the election Of Governor,
Legislature. Constitutional Con
vention ana the county officers is o
more Importance to the Democrat,
party of Delaware than any other fea
ture of the pending political contest
A Sound-Money Democratic electora
ticket on this official ballot will tent
to make these results absolutely certain

cleveland and oarllsIe Speak.

At a great meeting in louisville. KY,
Saturday night, Gen. Palmer and Gen.
Buckner'were officially notified of their
nomination for President aud Vice
President by the convention OF the Ma
tional Democratic party at Indian
apolis, and both accepted. And the
most notable features Of the occasion
was the reception of kilograms from
President Cleveland and Secretary Of
the Treasury Carlisle, expressing their
hearty sympathy with the event. Mr.
Cleveland wired:
Buzzsrd's Bay, Mass, Sept. 10.
Hon. w. ID. Bynum; / regret that |
cannot accept your invitation to attend
the notification meeting on Saturday
evening" Asa Democrat devoted to the
principles and integrity OF my party,
should be delighted TO be present on
an occasion so significant, and to
mingle with those who are determined
that the voice of true Democracy shall
not BIO Hmothered, and insist that its
glorious standard shall be borne aloft
us OF old in faithful hands.
Grover Cleveland.
The telegram from Secretary Carlisle
was as follows:
Washington, y. O.. Sept. -. y Hon.
w. ID. Bynum: Your telegram inviting
me 10 attend tho meeting at Louisville
| to-day has been forwarded to me at
| this place and greatly regret my ina
bility TO accept. The conservative and
| patriotic declarations of the Indian
apoplis convention on the public ques.
tions involved in the pending contest
and the high character of it's nominees
cannot fail to arouse the real Demo
catic sentiment of tho country and
command the hearty support OF all
| who sincerely believe in the preserva-
tion Of the public honor, the public
peace and the stability and value
Of the currency used by our people.
| ! am proud to tako my stand
with the old. fashioned Democrats
who have refused to abandon their
honest convictions in order to form nn-
natural alliance with political and
social organizations whose purposes are
dangerous to the country and wholly
inconsistent with the fundamental prin-
ciples:of our party, and | pledge to you
and your associates such support and
assistance AS l can give during the
campaign. j. G. Carlisle.
II was no surprise, however, that the
President and Secretary Carlisle should
so express themselves. The entire
country knew that they could have
no sympathy with The men who
trampled Democratic principles be.
meath their feet at Chicago, and nomi.
mated candidates who never had any
thing in common with honest Democ.
racy. 1t was only natural to expect
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Carlisle to give
countenanee and support to the ticket
and platform placed before the country
in the name Of the real Democratic
party at indianapolis.

The following nuggets of financial
wisdom are from the last weekly
letter of Hambleton q Co. of Balti-
more:
The Bank Of England, on Thursday,
advanced its rate from . to 21S per
cent, and also advanced the selling
price for American gold. The large
Withdrawals of gold from the Bank Of
England for shipment to this country
have been the cause Of this action.
This is an illustration of legitimate
banking By which we might and
should profit. If our currency and
finances were regulated by wise bank
ing laws instead OF by an unwise and
unscientific system of governmental
issue, we should have no trouble about
gold, silver or anything else We will
never get our currency system straight
ened out until tho government is taken
out OF the banking business, and the
control of the currency is placed in the
hands of the banks.
No country which has undertaken to
issue and regulate the currency Of the
nation has ever succeeded. Indeed,
every country which has undertaken to
issue paper money has either become
bankrupt or its currency passes only at
a great depreciation in value.
The platform of the indianapolis con-
veption points out the true solution OF
our currency difficulties. Take the
government out of the banking bust
ness and substitute sound and efficient
bank currency-and the problem will
be solved.
Certainly; take the government out
of the banking business, and there
would DO an end to the schemes for {
reckless initiation of currency, either
by cheap silver dollars or unlimited
issues OF paper money. The relief thil
would afford the entire country is in
calculable.

Tho Delaware Democrat of George
town makes the following reference to
a subiect of great Importance in this
State.
Important az are the political ques-
tions that now divide parties in this
State, they should not be allowed to
cause us to forget tho changes that are
sought to be made in our fundamental
law, and they should be discussed fully
between now and the election, in order
that the people may know exactly what
will be done by their representatives
when they meet, and that the latter
may know just what the people expect
them to do. The best of men are liable
to make mistakes, political and other
wise, and it will be loo late TO find
fault after the instrument is framed
and there is no chance given to ratify
or defeatit. Good man should OF course
be chosen delegates but in justice to
them as we'll as 10 ourselves, they
should be Informed of the wishes Of the
people and called upon to respect them.
The only manner in which the dele
gates can be informed is by public
discussion Of the questions involved.
There will be brief interval be-
tween the election and the assembling
OF the convention, but the more the
subject can be discussed prior to the
| election, the better ii will be.

The following significant editorial
utterance lie from the Austin, Tex,
Statesman, Democratic paper:
Many old conservative Democrats are
beginning to regret the hurry that be-
trayed the convention into the impru-
dence of nominating such young man
with a very doubtful Democratic
record. We know that some are
quietly packing up to desert the Bryan
ship. They were at first caught by
the glitter of free money in abundance,
and this was emphasized by Mr..
Bryan's sudden eruption of eIoquence.
but Mr.. Bryan has not kept up to
their expectations. They are begin
ming to regard it as trick and that
the Democratic party was tricked into
nominating Bryan, and men who feel
tricked do not feel very good. We be-
iieve that we are in this voiring the
opinions of thousands of men in Texas
nom;nally supporting the Chicago
ticket. When the sentiment of a
people begins to take this trend we
all know that the result ia inevitable.
1T is simply repetition of the old
story of marrying in haste and no.
penting at leisure. Democracy was
welded to Populism at Chicago, rs the
result of wild and reckless runawa,
match. The divorce will come at the
November election.

police with Saturdays nomination cleo

The action of the Chicago conven-
ton in nominating Bryan on a free
silver coinage platform, has 80 de-
moralized the New York Democrats
that it is hard matter for them to
find Democrat of any prominence
willing TO accept the nomination for
Governor this fall. And yet the Bryan
Popocratc leaders have the hardihood
to claim that they will carry New York.

Mexican silver dollars can be i'm
ported into this country at the rate Of
As cents apiece. They can be pur-
chased in Wilmington, by retail, at 90
cents apiece. The Mexican dollar con-
tairs AIS grains of silver; the American
dollar 4l2la grains. With free silver
coinage, which would destroy the power
of this government to keep it's silver
currency to a par with gold, the Amer
lean silver dollar would soon become,
even in the United States, of less pur.
chasing value than the Mexican dollar.

Monday a letter was sent to candi-
date Bryan, notifying him Of his nomi-
nation for President by the Popuist
National Convention. 1t is rather a
curious letter, as it informs him that
he was not nominated with any
thought that you were Populist or
that you accepted all the doctrines de-
clsred by the st. Louis platform. 1t
was due largely to the fact that the
money question is the overshadowing
political issue of the age and because
you have at all times been an unswerv-
ing, able and fearless advocate, of the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver
and gold on terms of equality at the
minis of tho United States at the ratio
of l6 to l." So Bryan may, Il he
chooses, repudiate all of the Populist
platform except the silver rlank, and
stand as the party's candidate for
President. However, there ia so little
difference between the PopuliHt and
the Chicago platforms that this is a
matter OF small difficulty, particularly
for political acrobat like Bryan.

ideas that those who labor for wages
