THE Kansas City Gazette wants to dispose of
the silver question by relegating it to the var
ious congressional districts. How would it be
who is national banker without a platform?
Unless something is done to let people know
that Mr. Harris knows something on the fnan-
cial question, he is going to be short on votes

"THE People, the Poltician?' is the
striking title of striking book, just issued
from the press of Charles H. Kerr & Co., of
Chicago. 1t deals with the most important
question before the people-direct legislation
and it not only demonstrates clearly the pract-
cability of government by the people, but it can
not fail to awaken the most Indifferent and ILL
informed to the necessity for such govern
ment. The question of whether the people
should govern themselves and conduct their
government in that manner which will best
promote the general welfare, or whether they
should be oppressed by corrupt and unscrup-
ulous classes is one on which there can be no
difference or opinion among patriotic citizens.
The book brings this question squarely before
the people and it will gain votes for the Peo-
pies party in quarters where literature OH the
financial and other questions would have little
or no effect. The book is we'll gotten up and
contains 90 pages. The price of it is only ten
cents, and it may be ordered through this
office.

It seems that the TRANSCRIPTS fig
ures on wheat and the tariff have
brought answers to which space and
time forbid reply now, but the fact re-
mains that under Republican legisla-
tion from 1866 to 1898 the public debt
was paid off at an average Of $65. .000.-
600 year, and under Democratic leg
islation for the past three years it has
increased $67, ,0e0. 900 a year. Why is
this and in what way is the Wilson
tariff deficient? was the inquiry of the
TRANSCRIPT. We cannot see that
the use made of the special sale of the
gold bonds to maintain the public
credit modifies the pertinency of our
question. OF course if Farmer" and

FOR ONE TICKET.

There has been desire all along
among Delaware Republicans for one
electoral ticket that the vote of the
State may be cast for Mckinley. Many
sound money Democrats have wished
for the same since they expect to thus
cast a vote that shall count against
what to them is not only party heresy
but party treachery. II the voters Of
Delaware are for Mckinley they should
be given an opportunity to cast their
votes effectively. To this end Messrs.
Spruance and Hayes have addressed the
following letter to the electors on the
Union Republican ticket;
WILMINGTON, DEL, Sept, IA. 1896.
James G. Shaw, Esq and d. Mifiin
Wilson, Esq.
Gentlemen: Being deeply sensible Of
the i'm portance of the defeat of Bryan
nd Sewall; realizing that the vote of
this state may be a material factor in
the contest; believing that this vote can
be cast for Mckinley and Hobart if
their friends are united, but not if
they are divided; and assuming that
you and those from whom you hold
your nominations as presidential elec-
tors are as sincere and earnest in the
desire for the success of the principles
proclaimed, and The candidates nomi-
mated by the National Republican Con-
vention, as are we and those from
whom We hold similar nominations,
we take the liberty of addressing you

and cooperation we may be able to se-

sented for the support Of all the quali-
fed voters Of this state. OF whatsoever
political faith or afiiliation, who de-

to have two hundred Regular Kepubli-
can votes who will never accept Mr.. Ad-
dicks, and the other ten hundreds will
swell the number to 1900 or 1000, and
with the Addicks attitude towards
compromise fully understood the vote
will grow. This statement is corro-
borated by a gentleman from Frank
ford, Del, who was in Middletown
this week. He says s'the backbone of
the Republican Party with US is
against Addicks.', How then can
victory be possible to the Addicks
ticketp To hold to that view is to
make 1t most emphaticaliy nobody. y
In this connection it may be timely
| to notice the ridiculous assertion that
the Pennsylvania railroad hasdemanded
Mr.. Manlore Hayes's withdrawal from
the ticket or his resignation as trea-
surer of the Delaware railroad. That
idea is preposterous. Also that the
National Republican Committee has
made such demands of Messrs. Spru-
ance and Hayes. That is not true.
The hope Of the Addicks folks that it
may prove true lies in the fact that
Mr.. Quay is now at New York head
quarters and he is called the friend of
Mr.. Addicks. The Addicks people
have great expectations from the dis
satisfied Ford vote. Democrats claim
that vote will not malerialize, and if
| it should there are good and sufficient
reasons why two-thirds Of it will be
| cast for the Regular ticket. Mr.. Ad-
dicks would get the part that would
cost him nice little sum.

responsibility for any defeat Of Mel kim
ley and Hobart upon the Addicks peo-
pie. OF The feeling in Sussex the "Re-
publican, says:
Addicks is losing strength. The fear
on the part Of q certain class Of his
followers that he will not put any
money in the campaign now that his
lieuteDants say they cannot carry a
county in the State; the effect of the
talk of no compromise on the part of
Addicks and his followers upon ths
class of good men whose anxiety to
win has led them into the Addicks
camp; the fact apparent every day,
that his campaign rests only on the
one man and without him it falls; all
are working together for the good Of
the Republican ticket. Addicks is dis
gusting some good men who have here
tofore been with him. In the words Of
one Of them, !. am now satisfied that
.Addicks wants all and If be cannot get
it, he intends to defeat the Republican
party. / am no longer an Addicks
man.
Some of his most prominent leaders
in this county are ti.ged with silver

ing one man off of our electoral ticket
and putting one of your electors in his
place, thereby probably insuring the
State for Mckinley, we would not do
it.n This may be Addieks Republic
canism but is not the kind we favor.
It only shows how far from the true
allegiance and adherence to Republic
can principles Mr.. Addicks has led his
followers, but still they follow him
blindly. Perhaps when they find
themselves faction without the leader
who has led them out Of the Republic
lican fold ~they will suddenly re-
member that it would have been
wise to have Thought twice be-
fore they leaped." Another leader who
sits close to Addicks in the secret
council of his party made the follow
ing remark 8 If the National Com
mittee should effect a compromise by
placing ou1 electoral ticket upon youi
ticket and recognize you as the Repub-
lican party of this State, we would de-
feat that ticket" Is not this the same

heard and deprecated by many good
Republicans during the last session of
the Legislature. You cannot afford to
vote any ticket that represents such
policy. The Republican ticket will
receive more votes on November Sd,
than the Addicks ticket. Put your
vote where it will do. the most good.
There is no doubt where that ticket
stands. 1t is for the principles enun-
ciated by the National Republican
platform, not qualified or depending on
the desire or personal ambition of any
man. 1t isyour dnty to vote this one

NEwspApEn RESPONSIBILITY.

NEWSPAPER RESPONSIBILITY.
In great measure the existence Of
the Addicks political influence in the
State to-day is due to the Democratic
press. Every Democratic paper boosted
Mr.. Addicks in his contest before the
General Assembly, not that they loved
Addicks but hated Republicans. 1t
was not patriotism but partisan ship that
controlled them. Cn May 9th, 1895,
not Republican paper in the State but
condemned the action of Addicks and
his four legislative adherents, except
ing bis own paper, the Sentinel But
since then and to-day the milford
Chronicle, p the "Smyrna Times" and
the Wilmington Republican" are aid
ing the Addicks cause and not one of
them would now say he was wrong
May, 9, 1895. or we think not. The
Chronicle has its seasons of political
fever; the aTimes" has always been
bitterly anti-Higgins, scarcely con-
scious. of the ways it shows its feelings;
but the Wilmington Republican is
hypocritical. It has cried aloud for
compromisen and to s'get together
and even volunteered its support and
endorsement to back up the efforts for
one electoral ticket if tbs Regulars
would make the overtures. Mr.. Ad-
dicks says mot an atom of Compro-
mise" and the old Republican" folks
into a line of praise that Addicks
should have endorsed four of the Con-
stitutional yConvention candidates.
Why not have endorsed all?Are they not
all good men? It is well known that
personal reasons controlled the endorse
ment Of each Of the four men named
and no credit is due MI. Addicks in this
matter. Every few days the '.Kepub-
lican" proclaims that it is not an Ad-
dicks organ, recognizing the fact that
the people must SO consider its efforts
or no declarations were needed. Why
does it not take stand for a fair and
honorable compromise" if it is sim
cere, stating what in its opinion that
compromise should be? It has not
word of condemnation for Mr.Addicks's
no compromise attitude. Why not?
Ali Why not? It looks like an Ad-
dicks organ in disguise. 1t has read
IKE one for long time. Why not un-
mask?
BY these comments nothing personal
is meant and it is only sense of duty
that compels us to give expression to
them. We think the newspapers are re-
sponsible in a great measure for all we
have Of Addicksism in Delawareand if
Mr.Addickswere to drop completely out
to-day the Republican Party would go
to victory on Nov. 3rd. The "Smyrna
Times" looks at it differently, however.
1t says "the Wilmington cabal mot the
Addicks part have tbe responsibility
on them of the success or defeat of the
party" The TRANSCRIPT has called
Mr.. Addicks party traitor, with cause
we think, but have never designated
his followers as .'cabal" nor shall we
since we should all vote the same
ticket.

A full -blooded Indian was mar
ried last week to a white girl at
Lewiston, Idaho. KThis is per-
haps the first instance of the
kind in the history. of this Sec
ton of the country. The Indians
are coming to the front upon the
strength of their improved tinan-
cial standing. The better class
among the Indian maidens scorn
the idea of marrying white men.
Col. McConville says the girls OF
his school consider themselves
far better than white trash. A
marriage with an ordinary white
man would be regarded as a dis
grace. The father of the groom
in the event last week realized
the Importance of the relation
ship with the white race. He
remarked that his people were
becoming civilized, and cited the
marriage of his son to a white
girl as evidence in support OF
his position.
