The board Of Managers of tho YOUNG
Mems Democratic Club, 1t Is reported, hal
requested tho resignation Of the Sound
Money Democrats from that organization.
This means Il great deal when iaking into
consideration who these Sound Money
Democrats are and the positions some Of
them hold in our city. We also under.
stand that Mr.. l.. Irving Handy Ia back Of
the movement. He has blood In his eye
and is after all the soalps of his frlenda
that used TO lie for all he is worth, He u
quoted as saying some very hard things
about the men who compose the Sound
Money League. He is going to have hard
road to travel to secure the Congressional
plum. The fight that is now going on u
equal to the troubles that have been CO.
ing on in the Republican party.
With many wrangles tho Single Taxer4
II properly organized could cut II big figure
in Delaware politics this year. Here's the
spectacle of SenatorGray and Ambassador
lifelong friends pulling against one ana
other Young ThomasF. r,,b,ing u oa1S
dide for Congress on tho Sound Money
ticket and young AndrcwC. Gray opposing
him and fighting hard for recognition Ok
l.. Irving Handy. Tho fight is now on Id
earnest with no chance of compromise.
1t is hard to predict what tho result Will
be in November.
Frederick s. Goro, who was city elltoF
of the Sunday Star for two years past will
launch forth Il Sunday paper OF his own
from the office OF Justice the Single Tax
organ, cor. Third and Market streets, on
Sunday. 1t will bo four page pape- and
costs2 cents per copy. 1t is supposed to
be neutral in politics and aggressive in
policy us it will be run for the benefit of
It's promoters Golfers. None but those
meaning business need apply.
The much talked Of compromise IL not
yet in sight. The managers of tho Union
Republican Club and tho Regulars are
still carrying ON II newspaper controversy
that does not promise to ond in u satisfac.
tory manner. Twenty men evidently
think they are the whole Republican party
in the State of Delaware and that they
cast tho deciding votes. But they don't
by II d. Well we WON'T say it all
though we think it. sJopN
There have been politicians and polis
ticians some Of which are dead, Others have
removed from Delaware and others o.
getting ready to go. Look about you any
sec where the men come from who arc at
tumpting to control the Affairs of Della
ware On both sides Republican as we'll as
Democrat 1t is strange but often true
saying when you want u prophet you have
to go to foreign lands for him.
Ihe down country Democrats led by
John +. salisbury arc beginning to be.
come alarmed. Ihey are not nearly I'D
sunguino of carrying tho State rs they
were during the Dover convention. Very
it,, l, t., i,,,1 Nh ,rNt int
Delaware for Democratic expenses. The
only source being tho county Off ;ers who
arc being made to dizzy up half of their
fees Several are kicking, bat they are
paying up with u bad grace and with
rancOr down in their hearts We can't
see why these county Office holders should
DO made TO stand and deliver in regular
highwayman style. But they do it oil the
same and curse everybody III sight. :,
The spectacle of the Democrats who are
not satisfied with the regular Democratic
ticket standing on the curb on their hind
legs" Willard II. salisbury, has said
IL and it is something to his credlt. for he
knows ii all. The throwing OF John Pyle
out who was fairly nominated for State
Senator and ordering new election is In
keeping with numerous other peculiar
things That have taken place in the Dem.
ocra. ic party in this city.
The County Constable business Of
which no one wanted to have the odium
laycd TO his door and the suppressing Of
the petition which was said wai brought
to Governor Reynolds ARE bits Of INTEREST,"
Ting politics that will one day be published
in tho columns Of tho REPUBLICAN. Such
men rs were respon ,iDlo Tor the dobt of
nearly $50, 600 should DO published SO that
all men should know them and judge
them by their dccls.
The glad hand will DO extended by L.
Irving Handy to all of the Sound Money
Democrats who come back again TO the
fold. He sought the nomination for Con.
gross being anxious to defeat the aspira-
lions Of Peter J. Ford for Governor
He knew If Ford WAS nominated for
Governor that he (iIandy) could not pos-
slbly be the candidate toc Congress. He
has dug his own political grave and like
Samuel Bancroft, Jr., his name will be
mud in November Poor man! Poor
man his famous Woodland Bou,h speech
will come home to him. He already looks
like a man that was hit hard by ill luck,
and has lost mis- best friends. He will feel
lonolier ON November 4th 1895.
The defeat of Peter j. Ford has NOT
made his friends feel any kinder towards
Mr. Handy for the part he took in the
fight although he pretended to have kept
his hands Off But did he? Ask those
who know the inside history of the deal.
