John pyie Is warned Not 10 Consort with
tho Single TIA xers-Anthony Higgins says
Brother John VIII Not witndraw-The
Democrats Insist on Reading senator
Gray and Thomas +. Bnyard. Jr.. Out Of
tho Party-w. O. Il. Coiqnhoun a' Pro-

The Every Evening sounds note Of
warning to State senator John Pyle and
warns him about giving pledges to the
single Takers. 1t says: "a single ,a Lax
to aid II candidate for the suifrages OF the
people of New Castle County"
Things are decidedly mixed in tho DEM
ocraic party. With the Single Takers
and Sound Money Democrats fighting for
recognition this year the Democratic
party is yearly torn asunder With the
different Democratic ward clubs passing
resolutions conforming and reading SEN
ator George Gray and Thomas 4. Bayard,
Jr,, out OF the party.
Then the arbitrary action Of the Clerks
OF tho Peace in deciding what shall and
shall not go on the official ballots has not
helped the cause Of Democracy The peo-
pie have some rights which even the
Clerks of the Peace Of the three counties
should be made to respect The law,
which has been made obnoxious by the
enforcing of 1t, should be repealed by the
next Legislature.
As political prophet we now have W.
c. r. .Colquhoun making estimates Of the
Republican vote in Delaware. We think
he will be slightly off when the votes are
counted on November 3rd
Don't fail to get registered on Satur-
day, October 10th. Don't forget that
without being registered you will be un-
able to vote on November 3rd.
A gentleman who has been travelling in
tho country collecting, says the sentiment
amongst the farmers is for Hoifecker and
Willis. He predicts their election; SO
would VIC If they were the only Republi-
cans running for the position.
Republican editorials in tho middleof-
the jad paper read like fiction. You have
to rub your eyes to see If you are awake
after reading ono of these illusions.
The time Is growing shorter to the day
set when the official ballots are required
by law to be handed in to the Clerk Of the
Pta3e.
With some six tickets in the field the
people will have no trouble to make
selection rs to whom they shall vote for.
w. G r. Colquhoun says that John G.
Higgins and Robert q. Houston will not
withdraw from the Higgins ticket.
"Mr. John G, Higgins will not with
draw from his position as the candidate
of the Republicans of Delaware for Gov
ernOr The inquiries on this subject are
apparently the result of fake. The
reasons for Mr. Higgins nomination and
election are to-day stronger, and more
plain to the people that even on the day
ticket. "ANTHONY HIGGINS"
SD what is thp Use of talking nbOllt IL
compromise when Mr. Higgins who owns
the Rapublican party says positively what
sh II an shall no5 be done.
Lu, ne as well as some others forget
that tho twenty thousand Republican
voters constitute the grand old party IN
Delaware He can say what he will or
will not do, but he nor no other man Or
set of men can say what the other twenty
thousand Republican voters shall do. Let
tho voters cast thoir ballots this November
50 that the Republican party shall vindi-
cate itself snd bury the bosses into pollt-
icnT oblivian.
The attack upon the character of Gen
eral j. Parke Postles by the Sunday
paper was uncallcd for and severely crit
icised by nearly everybody that read 1t:
The attack done no person any good and
did not in.uro the General in the ostima
ton of the citizens of Wilmington
Some men are never happy only when
their names appear in print. They seem
to forget they are the laughing stock of
their neighors and fellow citizens.
