Republicans have waited hoping for an
understanding as to the State ticket but
they have waited in vain and the next two
weeks will witness very active campaign.
The several tickets have been filed with

now stand. The Republicans effected no
compromise and have two tickets; the Dem
ocrats two. Prohibition one Single Tax one,
Non-Partisan Prohibition Alliance one

The Reed meeting in Wilmington satur-
day night was great success. Mr.. Reed
had promised Congressman Willis to speak
for him and it was to keep this promise
that he came. The Auditorium was

lency of its music.
Mr.. William R. ..Flinn, of Newport, the
genial Republican candidate for sheriff in
this county. was shaking hands with his

The Democrats admire Mr.. Finn and the
Republicans are solid for him. He will be
elected and with him the candidates for
the county offices without question. The
majority should be made as large as pos.

PLAYING WITH FIRE.

politics makes strange bed fellows. -
Never was this saying more fully ex-
empliied than during the present cam
paign, and nowhere more than in Del
aware. Men who have formerly
thought and acted together politically
fnd themselves opposed to each other
now. They may hope to agree in the
future and to that end should let a
principle govern them in all these mat
ters. 1t does not pay to gain an. ad-
vantage by trickery, as it is the prac-
tice Of some in politics, nor does it pay
to deceive, nor to let people deceive
themselves as to ones position and in
tention. Such to US appears to be
playing with fire-a very dangerous
plaything.
Some such thoughts as these sug-
gested themselves to us on receiving an
invitation from Democratic friend to
attend Single Tax meeting to hear a
talk upon Silver and for Bryan and
Sewell. We like to hear good talking
and believe always in listening to the
opposite side but how men who have
denounced the Single Tax theories and
their speakers as has been doEe around
Middletown can so far join hands with
their avowed orators as to unite with
them in public meeting is more than
We can comprehend. Say what one may
1t Is giving countenance to their pecu-
liar doctrine for which they win in the
future demand recognition. Many Of
heir speakers discIaim that they are
|or free silver and are only for Bryan

because they attribute certain opinions
upon the land question to him. In
fact they are for any party and any
man If they can only get favors along
the line of their theories. They have
endorsed, we believe, men from all
parties hoping to get claim upon all
and then they will demand settle
ment. The intention is undoubtedly
to deceive them for no man could be
elected on Nov. Sd who would an
nounce himself as favoring the Single
Tax, but 1t is playing with fire to do
co. Their speakers have preached dis
content among US for eighteen months
past and they say they have enlisted
for the war, and their war is to bring
Delaware under the Single Tax. We
do not anticipate such calamity as
that but the continued agitation of the
subject is a standing menace to the
improvements and investments that
will be made in the State. 1t may
frighten some timid people, naturally
will do SO, and to encourage the Single
Tax schemes in any manner is to our
way of thinking a great mistake. We
do not believe in playing with fire for
any purpose. A great confagraLion
may come from little fame. The
man who talks free silver and Single
Tax, gold standard and Single Tax,
Bryan or any other man and Single
Tax, is undoubtedly for Single Tax
whatever else he may or may not be-
lieve in. While the TRANSCRIPT op-
posed all oppression of the men in their
earlier visits to the town, and while
we have read and listened to. their
speakers, we find nothing in their theo-
ries to approve practically but some
thing to disapprove and regret to see
them encouraged by politicians because
they have votes, if it is merely because
of the voters back of and with them.
It will not pay. It is an experiment
that may prove costly to the citizens |
of Delaware. If the Single Tax lsa
principle, as its advocates claim, it |
need not be hawked around on the po-
litical auction block to lose the respect |
of respectable people. If it is heresy,
a confiscator of the vested rights of in
dividuals, then the less honest men
have to do with it and its advocates
The better for the State. 1t will not
pay to play with fire, not even the po-
litical bonfire. 1t is dangerous.

AN EXPERIMENT.

"The people want the experiment Of
free silver triede exclaims Democratic
Glasses in ''Sunday STAR" land it is
the people that talks on election day."
It remains to be proven whether the
people will try another experiment,
for such is in fact thefree and unlimited
coinage of silver 16 to l. Many are
willing to experiment for the sake Of
party gain and as an argument in that
behalf will ask the question, "Can the
times be any worse2" They undoubt-
edly can. Suppose that the creditor
class foreclose their mortgages, demand
the payment Of debts, where would the
debtor class be-? Hundreds of the old
est and best business houses in the
country would be driven into bar krup-
toy. We can only hope in any event
that such will not prove true but when
men like Ambassador Bayard and
Archbishop Ireland speak out 80 en-
phatically as they have done this week
against the experiment of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, 16 to l, it
is time for thoughtful men to stop and
consider the effect Of their ballots.
The able Divine is not given to med
ding with secular affairs but says
that his duty as citizen compels him
to speak. Certainly Mr.. Bayard takes
no pleasure in opposing his party and
he must think the seriousness of the
situation is that of great peril or he
would not volunteer to speak when be-
cause of his position he could hold his
peace without criticism from friend or
foe. The truth is the Democratic Par ty
Of 1896 is running after strange gods,
having left theifaita and the principles
that have controlled it for years. The
of its members with some Re-
pnblicans and the discontented Popu-
lists have forced an issue upon the
country-an experiment-which they
are asking the people TO try. Can the |
people afford to try such an expert |
ment? We think not.
