The campaign is drawing to q close and
you may expect to read of arrests of
some OF our prominent citizens owing to
the manifesto issued over the name of
Attorney General White The officers of
the law should use some discretion in
issuing swearing warrants for the ARE st
Of every person that irresponsible perso MS
want them Issued for
The first one to be arrested charged with
Intimidation was Mr.. Richard Patzowsky,
manager OF the Blumeuthal's Morocco
Factory on Monday.
He gave bail to answer the charge at a
higher Court The arrest was an outrage
said one of th3 workman employed in Tho
factory. Mr.. Patzowsky has never yet
told any man how he should vote. He has
made request that the men should vote
for Mckinley and Hobart, but has made
no threats of his discharging u single man
II they did not do as he requested them
And further moro no man Will be dischrag-
ed because he exercises his franchise and
votes as he wishes. The firm through Mr..
p. had requested him to talk to his men us
1t was their wishes that they should vote
for sound money. This factory gives work
to several hundred hands, and what is to
the interest of the firm is to tho best inter
est Of the men, as the factory will be left
Turning. Free silver means shutting
down the factory and throwing all the
men out of work. Do the men want this?
Are they goi ng TO vote for no work.
We have received II letter from we'll
known Republican OF Kent county who
tsays; "In Kent those who know
yhe situation tell ms there will not be -
votes cast for Higgins, and i'll Sussex the
terry highest estimation is 300 and from
hat down to 100. There are but two
known Higgins men in the upper part Of
Kent county" That Fred Eden Bach,
wrote Mr.. John H. Hoifecker several
letters asking him to withdraw as the
candidate for Governor and n gentleman
closly connected with Mr., Hoifecker, came
to our city from smyrna and had quite an
Interesting Interview with Mr. Bach, on
October 18Th. The arrest OF George W.
Roberts, by Washington Hastings for
criminal libel on Monday is rather baby
act 1t is beneath Washington Hastings.
He should haves consulted some OF his
friends before having the warrant ISSUED.
1t begins to LOOK as if editor Powers had
gotten himself into u peck of trouble. 1t
Was reported this morning that Mr.. ii orun
had II warrant issUed for his arrest, oh arg
ing him with criminal libel.
The registration was ended on Satur-
day. Some Of the registrars demeancd
themselves SO badly that they should feel
atingle Of shame for their actions. Shame
on men who pretend to be respectable
who would Wl!fully and wren fnlly cheat
any Of leir fellow men out Of their fran
chise. 1t has never yet paid any man to
be party TO all act to cheat his ncighbor
out Of his vote 1t is IN cid and true say
ing that cheating ncycr thriveS."
What do the people think Of the way Mr..
John +, salisbury carried IN in Dover
during the sitting Of the registrars: And
this, too, by man who Is The aCknowl-
edged leaders of the free silvcritcS in Del
aware. His language was neither choice
nor very polite. But what can you exp 'ct
from John F. He is nothing if not crrutic
aud picturesque.
While the sixth ward Democratic Club
was marching up Market street between
Eighth and Ninth Monday evening some
one suggested three grOnnS for Anthony
Higgins The suggestion was Immediate
ly hushcd up by one of the officers. This
showed that one man had some sense Of
the fitness of things
Said wtll-known gentleman last oven
ing to the writer; FEATHER rallOn is not
assessed and can't vote, 50 there is 10
danger of him voting for Bryan or the
devil Unfortunately this is Il fact. But
Father Fallon has some influence and will
use 1t amongst his parishlunetS. The
Catholic priests were never moro fully
aroused in n political campaign than they
have boon this year. They know thac
oontenment follows prosperity. They Are
aware that Bryanism wuu!d bring distrust
and suffering and the closing Of the few
remaining Industries Of tho country that
have lately been set in motion.
The few labor organizations which have
been dGludGd into iudlrslng the free Coln-
age agitation arc acting rs loUlishly us
tl.o dog which dropped the bone to try
aud catch its shadow. The kind Of dOllGr
which the American workingnIan wants
is that which has the highest purchasing
power When wages arc paid in gold
they will buy Il large quantity Of good.
Ii paid in cheap silver they will buy only
half as much.
Ihl5 Is the currency question in Il nut
shell in 80 far is thy lnJerars of tho work
ing classes arc concerned. TAJ promise
that under free coinage wages would be
increased, is only Il great 'prrhur," |, it
not better fer the workers to stick to the
gold stundlr :, which insure; their wages
being paid III dollars WHICH have u L!h
value Than to take the risk uf getting only
the low wages, which prevail i'll all silver
using countries?
