falsehoods Of the campaign.
ssWhen this man left the caucus Mr..

him in view of the danger arising from
q failure to elect a Republican United
States Senator that he had better agree
to vote for one or the other of The
prominent candidates. In reply the
man said be would vote for The man
Mr.. Addieks would select.
This was very different advice from
that given six years later. The dan
ger was courted and was taken by Mr..
Addicks at the last General Assembly
both as to entering caucus and as to
voting for a Senator. Why this
differencey
But that is all past. Whatof the

is but natural inquiry, How can Re

BEGIN talking to a Democratic
friend of the strength of the National
Democratic Party and of the number
of Delaware Democrats who will not
vote for Bryan and he will at once
refer to the Silver Republicans as an
offset. The anti-Bryan Democrats are
spoken Of by name, they are known by
their open declarations, but inquiry
being made as to the Silver Reputli-
cans and the place Of their habitation
the information is given that Sit is not
wise to name them as they do not wish
to be annoyed by the opportunities of
the Republican politicians that they
return to the fold.n The fact is there
are no Silver Republicans in this COM
munity, at least not one known to the
large number of gentlemen Of whom We
have made inquiry concerning such.
This is only little pleasantly indulged
in by our Democratic friends and since
it apparently gives them some comfort
and can in no way annoy their political
opponents 1t should be encouraged.
The fact is the Bryan campaign needs
all the encouragement it can get just
now and no one should envy the friends
locally of the imaginary pleasure they
get out Of the idea that Delaware ma =
have Silver Republican or two.

Tho fest number Of the Delaware
Economist. ? James "A. Power editor.
and Z. Ellsworth Smith business man
ager. was issued on Saturday at will
mineton. It is the official organ of
the United Labor League and with the
assertion that "the money powers con-
troll the commercial pressn and sup
press facts it proposes to tell the people
what Is going on. It is radical for
silver bit in orderto prove its indep6n
dence of the bosses gives expression tc-
the following views OF the Democratic
State Convention:
II it be true that God hates coward,
what mighty contempt he must have
for the convention which met at Dover
Tuesday.
The great battle which is being
fought out before the American people
is battle of two opposing principles.
and the men who have been nominated
BY the respective parties, cut no figure,
except as the representatives Of those
opposing principles. To endorse Bryan
and to ignore the platform which he
represents and on which he stands was
the act Of coward; it was the act Of
men who are willing to sacrifice princi-
pie to party expediency. The men who
participated in it ought to turn their
backs on themselves; they ought to eat
their heads, and give the bones to some
.sawed-off, yellow, mongr6l dog.
A man who believes free silver would
be destructive to the industries of this
country, would bea traitor to his coun-
try if he voted for Bryan, and what is
true Of him is equally true OF the man
who believing in free silver, would
vote for Mckinley and the gold
standard. The Dover convention was
not Democratic because it failed to en-
dorse Democratic doctrine. It hun.
gered for the loaves and fishes, thirsted
for drink at the public trough. It
would have endorsed anything or de-
nounced anything which would seem
to assure patronage and plunder.

The Church and State are separate
institutions in this country and should
remain such. There IL said. to be a
difference In the Democratic Party Of
this State touching the religious senti-
ments Of certain OF its members.
This is unfortunate from religious
standpoint but it is an affair with
which Republicans have nothing to do.
Whether Mr.. Ford was defeated be-
cause Of his Church connections,
whether Mr.. Tunnel changed his mind
after having promised Mr.. Ford and
his friends that be would never consent
to accept the nomination and thus
played him false, or whether four
thousand more or less Of Mr.. Ford's
friends lin the State will cut Mr.. Tun-
nell at the polls, are questions for the
parties interested to settle. So far as
the Republican Party is.to be benefited
by the differences within the Democra-
tic ranks are Republicans interested
yet they may sincerely wish that bene-
fit should come in some other way.

opPoRTUN1TY TO BE LAST.

OFfOhIUNII1 III bE AASIs
Last week the chairman and secre-
tary Of the Republican State Commit
tee with several friends paid
a visit to the National Committee
Headquarters in New York. This week
Mr.. Addicks and several of his close
advisers and friends were invited to
visit Mr.. Hanna with the ideao HARM
onizing the differences in the party in
Delaware, at least to see that but one
electoral ticket shall be voted for in
November. This should be the desire
of every srue Republican in the State
and it should be accomplished. On
Wednesday Mr.. Addicks and his party
went to New York, saw the members
of the National Committee, and the
newspaper reports are that Mr.. Addicks
came out of conference with the declara-
tion ssthere will be no compromise and
we will accept none. flour candidates
are accepted we will carry the state
for Mckinley, and If they are not
There will be no compromise under any
circumstances. Never! Never! Neverp
This spirit carried out means the de-
feat Of Delaware Republicanism. It
is a further proof that Addicks cares
for but one thing-his selfish ambition.
He is Indifferent to Republican success
except that it advances his personal in
terests. But there are Republicans who
are allied with Mr.. Addicks who are
battling honestly for victory in Della
ware. Will they suffer this man to-
again defeat the party2 They can pre-
vent it. They can demand that con-
cession be made on both sides for it is
tie duty of Delaware to cast her cleo
toral vote for Mckinley and Hobart.
The Sound Money Democrats, many of
them, desire this, and they are entitled
to one Republican electoral ticket. The
matter rests with the Republicans who
are with Addicks, the sincere men
among them. What will they do? Will
they yield to the selfish dictates Of one
man to defeat the whole party? They
should speak and act. It will be too
late after the election, nor can there
be any profit to any one in the after
election charge of "You did it-You
defeated the party.n It is understood
that aside from Mr.. Addicks and a
very few of his close advisers all Re-
publicans in. the State desire to see one
electoral ticket for Mckinley and Ho-
bart, and harmony in the ranks that
shall bring success.

Down With the Trust.

President Keitt, of the State Farm
ers' Alliance, has requested the Pres
idents of the County Alliances to call
for a mass meeting of farmers in the
several counties to take such united
action against the Cotton Tie Trust
as we did against the Jute Trust.
Doubtless you are aware that the
Cotton Tie Trust has advanced the
price of ties so that those who use
them will have to pay twice as much
for them as they did last season.
Now let US get together and stand
together against this extortion. I
ask every farmer, and every friend
of the farmer, to meet at Lexington
on the first Monday in September,
to take the steps necessary to pro-
tect our pocket books. I could say
much more but I wi! reserve some
thing for our meeting.

Last wednesday in New York Bryan
and Sewall were officially notified OF
their nomination for President and
Vice President by the Democratic
party. All along the route on his
way to New York, President Bryan
met with perfect ovation. People
focked to the railroad stations in vast
numbers, cheers, music from brass
bands, the booming of cannons, the
waving of handkerch:efs and flags
throwing hats, and shaking hands
were some Of the scenes which marked
the progress Of his journey toward
the East. 1t is said that no such
enthusiasm has been seen on the eve
of political campaign since the war.
Iu New York fifty thousand persons
clamored for admission into the
hall in which Bryan was notified,
which has capacity of only $4,000.
The New York papers admit that
there is no precedent for this rush to
Madison Square Garden. HIS speech
accepting the nomination was full
of patriotic utterances and the ring
OF true and lofty craftsmanship and
was epterwoven with an intelligent
discussion of tie questions of the
day.
