Addicks' personal organ, the Dover
Sentinel, and Republican Glasses"
in tho Sunday Star, unite in viciously
opposing partisan Constitutional
Convention. The Milford Chronicle,
another Addicks organ, joins in the
chorus. This is q combination that
should serve to unto every honest voter
in tho State, regardless Of politics, in
a vigorous opposition.

Last weeks issue of Harper's Weekly
discusses Republican prospects in the
approaching national campaign. 1t
shows that the Republican party is
committed To the spoils system; that
its attitude upon the currency oues.
ton is discreditabe; that it ia on
deayoring to blind real issues by "ad-
vancing q fraudulent tariff issue to tho
front, " and that there is an active
traliicking in Southern delegates for
the purpose of helping tho cause of the
chief apostle Of protection who is
candidate for the nomination for prosi-
dent-McKinley, After citing these
facts, and the probability that the Re.
publican nomination may be auctioned
oil by Bosses Plat and Quay to the
highest bidder, the editorial concludes ::
Never since tho close of the civil war
has the Republican party had a finer
opportunity to render great service to
the American people by taking in hand
the problems of the day, honestly and
fearleesy. Never has it had better
chance TO win the support Of those
citizens whose political action is do
termined rather by their sense OF pub
lie duty than by party spirit But
mover has it appeared in so repulsive a
state OF moral degradation and so un-
worthy of that support. Some time
ago it seemed impossible that tho Re
publican party should be beaten in the
coming Presidential election. 1t seems
impossible no longer.''

Largo Boat. in the cnrls,lnnn.

An impression seems to prevail in
some places outside of Wilmington that
the large ocean steamers which come
here forrepairs have difficulty in getting
in and out of the Christiana. This is
not the case. Some Of the largest boats
which run on the Delaware river and
bay como here regularly for repairs, and
as yet there has beon no trouble ex-
periencod in navigating the Christiana.
Parties doing marine business with
Wilmington firms arc perfectly salts.
fled, which is evidenced by tho fact
that they send boat after boat hero for
repairs. They know that work done at
the Wilmington yards Is performed in
the right manner and with dispatch.
They never find it necessary TO return
the boats to have work done over again.
Wilmington firms have large share
of repair work on boats-both large and
small-and it is confidently expected
that this share will grow rapidly after
tho Christiana is deepened and vii.
mington harbor put in perfect cond.
tiun.
While local firms have all the facili-
ties for making repairs, they have also
the facilities for building ocean flyers,
and when ready for launching the
big hubs arc placed in the water with
the greatest ease. Everything works
smoothly in building boats at Whining
ton yards, and their facilities are
ample for largo vessels as well as for
smaller craft.
