L. Irving Handy is the regular nomi-
nee Of the Democratic party of this
state. He is a staunch, hard-working
Democrat, and worth the office which he
aspires. 1t is only the duty of all good
Democrats to support him.-Delaware
Ledger.
The people of Sussex are to be con-
graduated in that they have cast aside
partisan feeling and nominated as dele
gates to the Constitutional Convention
five Democrats and five Republicans

The Democrats and regular Republi-
cans did a wise thing at theirconvention
here this week in compromising upon a
bipartisan Constitutional Convention
ticket We have at all times favored a
movement of this kind and are only
sorry that the compromise could not
include all parties, so that the vote of
Sussex county would be unanimous for
this portion of the ticket.-Delaware
Democrat.
Hon. Levin Irving Handy captured
the voters OF Sussex by his speech at
Georgetown Tuesday. Handy's all right.

The force of the opposition to Mr..
Addicks is surprising to all, where he
has claimed everything. 1t is believed
the vote will be still greater surprise
in its strength. The men who are op-
posed to the one man power are de-
termined to meet the issue where he
has forced it-at the polls. II only re-

The supporters OF Palmer are the ad-
herents OF a man who has been every

Palmer is a Republican by heredity,
training, habit and practice; and his
Republican leopard spots always shine
out brilliantly when there is nothing
outside in the political field for Pal
mer.-Easton Ledger.
If Rev. Francis Burgette Short
cannot find enough strictly church
work to occupy all OF the time OF his
active mind, why does he not in the
pulpit, upon the highways and in the
press, cry down the worst plague that
ever fastened itself to the body polite
Of this state? He knows, as every hon
est man ought to know, that Addicks-
ism is a burning shame and disgrace
TO the fair name of our state.-Dover

Ten delegates from Sussex county
have been nominated to represent this
county in the Constitutional Conven-
tion, to meet at Dover in December. OF
these ten delegates, five are Republi-
cans and five are Democrats, and in
supporting them we can do so with the

cure for the citizens of Delaware a
constitution that will bear some as
surance of ratification by the voters

Addicks apd the Republican party

If General Smith makes as good a job
OF deepening the Christiana river as he
did improving the mouth of our Mis-
pilliOn river he will be a shining mark
for rotten eggs from the people along
the Christiana's banks. A small sail
boat now finds it difficult to get out at
some tides.-Milford Chronicle.
Silver bullion, measured in gold, has
not sunk more rapidly than most of
the great staples, measured in the same
metal. Indeed it is a very suggestive
fact that silver has kept close COM
pany with the necessaries Of life in the
downward race.-Milford Herald.
Charley Lee, laundryman in New
York, has swung to the breeze a ban
