bustlinG Attorney General. He IL not In
u with John Biggs, who was one OF the
brightest mon that ever held that position
In Delaware But we are depressing. MIR.
White, as Attorney General, has seen fit
to offer the muniflcent reward of $40 for
the arrest and conviction of any person
who shall by threats or intimidation try
to keep persons who have right from
registering, SO that they may DO able to
vote In November. We hope the reward
Is not intended as a farce and that the At.
torney and police department shall SEQ that
no wicked evil, designing Democrats get
away, who shall be guilty Of intimidating
any Of his fellow Republicans. 1t Is not
possible that any Republican would for
ono minute waste any time in trying to
the uso, he would only BIO laughed at.
Mr.. Stan bury Wiley, chairman of the
Union Republican Club, says that electors
Wilson and Shaw will not for one mo-
ment consider the proposition made to
them by Messrs. Spruance and Hayes.
They will not mDke any concessions aud
don't ask for any. They were elected by
the regular Republican convention that
met at Dover and mean to stay until the
votes are counted In November.
1t has been suggested that mass meet.
ing of Republicans be called at IN enrly
day and the voters then and there decide
who shall be the three electors to stand
for Mckinley and Hobart. The people
should have their say and the sooner the
better for the Republican party In Della
ware, II there is any intention that a COR
poral's guard shall DO left to DO called a
party.
Pat Ncary as leaderin the Democratic
ranks is getting to be n back number. He
could do nothing with his fellow Demo
Gratis at the meeting held last evening in
the rooms of tho Young Mons Democratic
Club. His proposition to send tho Hon
George Gray us delegate to tho Constltu-
tional Convention stirred up regular
hornets nest. Tho Ford men had not
Dover. II anybody else had made the
nomination 1t would have gone through
with n rush. But anything that Pat
favors from now on will be the death Of
the party politically. Tho boys have
knife up their sleeve for Pat and will use
1t as occasion requires. He cooked his
goose when he took such an aggressive
men have iniu 'nce az well a. he and he Is
pow beginning to find out to bis dlscom-
Torture. Leaders are made and unmade in
less than day. Pat is one Of the has
becns.
The Ford Democrats are not yet falling
into line, Peter J. will without doubt
vote the Democrat ticket, Ebe W. Tun-
nell and al, but there arc others who don't
have to do 1t. We don't believe Peter has
instrumental in getting him to spend his
money will hear from him in the future as
they havo in the past He has friends by
tho hundreds and they are not all Demo
Gratis by any means He Is one Of the
shrcwaest politicians in our city and Ike
Addicks don't know when he Is whipped.
Since being II candidate for Sheriff on
the Democratic ticket James b Toman
has Is said, givrn up the saloon business
His bro hcrin law Is now running the
business; but jim gets the proceeds 1t is
better That jim should mold Oh 10 his bust
ness us from present signs this Is going
to be IN awful hard year Oh Democratic
aspirnnts for ofliro.
The Democrat party has been good to
him, having elected him to several fairly
paying Offices. He now holds the position
Of Trustee of the Commons of New Cas-
tlc Trus co of the Poor and one or more
other offices by the grace of the Democrat
party. He, like Mr.. James Carmichael,
las invested several thousand in the can.
Enss, hut he IS not ah0thcr Addicks and
wo think Addicks is in this sheriffalty
fight. and so will Toman and his friends
think 50 on election day, when the returns
nre counted. Still there are other days to
run again.
A rousing political meeting will be held
in the O2ern House this evening under the
auspices + the Union Il p iblican Club.
Republicans arc cordiany invited to be
present this evening in the Auditorium,
when Frederick Taylor Of New York, will
deliver a sound money speech. Ladies' es
pecially are invited to attend.
Dover will be visited again to-day by
the Single Tax agitators We hope there
may be no clash between the Dover auth
critics and the Single Takers.
What interesting reading matter full
report Of the meeting Of the Democratic
Executive Committee would mako for the
readers Of The REPUBL!CAN, i Ye could
only got hold Of them and publish them.
John Y. Dickey will make tho fight Of
his life for the Legislature. iIc is badly
needed by the chairman of the Democratic
Committee and was backed by him Hav-
ing tho tux Office ut his command, he will
see that every Democrat gets tax receipt
without paying for it if he wants one to
vote on.
Michael Newell had to get out of the
fight for Levy Courtman in the Third
District as Willard intended that John
Mealey should be reelected. He had won
his reelection and meant to have it. Mike
may DO allowed to get in tho fight two
years hence If he Is still laundering for 1t.
The spectacle Of seeing Eddie Cochran
and Willard salisbury controlling Now
Castle County politics on the Democratic
edo Is enough TO moko one smile and |
smile several times at that, but such Is the
whirliglg Of politics.
