THE PENINSULA PRESS

Some OF our Republican friends ac-
cuse the Democratic press of Growing
over Republican discord and say we are
happy because their disruption makes
our success sure. While a disruption
Of their party makes our position
doubly safe, there is no reason for ella
ton over their quarrel. We believe that
the elections held under our new laws
will be fair and honest. and with fair
ness and honesty, Democratic success
is always assured in Delaware.--Dela-
ware Record.
The appointment Of General Samuel
A. Macallister to be consul at Barba- |
does, West Indies, following the other
regular appointments by the president,
must cause a very mOnotonous feeling
among the Unions. In fact the feeling
must have become somewhat weari- |
some The appointee is popular man,
both with his party friends and others, |
but-however, we will not any further
harrow the feelings OF the Addicksites
by referring to the loss OF their grip
upon the administration.-Dela
Democrat.
IL is hardly worth while for the
Democratic party to carry on conten-
tiOn among themselves during the com
ing three years, but to turn their atten
tiOn to state issues and the tariff bene-
iciaries. In 1900 the question Of finances
can be discussed With clearer vision
from established facts.-Delaware
Pilot
John Cannon Short had the backing
Of his entire party. Likewise the post
masters at Bridgeville and Harrington,
and likewise, we presume, the new APP
pointee to the Board of Pension Exam
iners, DR. Davis. In this latter case his
entire party numbers less than al
bakers dozen. Still, who will dare call
It other than party? Even Bach does
not call 1t a party or the party but his
party.-State Sentinel.
The Democratic party will have
enough to do if it takes care Of its own
fractional lines. The Delawarean says:
"Our desire has been, and is, to see a
! thoroughly united and harmonious
Democracy, which will not be depend
ent upon Republican divisions for its
success in Delaware" Will the Re
publicans Of this state continue to cling
to those things they know will keep the
\ party divided, when they have an OPP
Il portunity, If united, to give the Demo-
cratic party the worst drubbing it ever
received d?-Milford News and Adver-

i As a Republican Delaware has no
man more worthy of political recogni-
ton than Frederick E. Bach, who was
on Monday appointed supervisor OF the
rural free mail delivery system by Sec
retary Gary Middletown Transcript.
The past week has been a very sad
one for the Addicks men, so far as Fed
eral appointments are concerned. John
Cannon Shortlhas been appointed mar
} shal and Fred Eden Bach has secured a
fat place in the Post Office Department
as chief of division of the rural mail
service No pill could betmore bitter

We urge the people of New Castle not
TO lose sight of the anniversary OF the
landing OF Penn on October q. In a
: celebration, such as we have before
said, Colonel ]. Harry Rogers has con-
. ceived, the town and it's business in
terests would reap a lasting benefit. We
hope to hear soon that Colonel Rogers
g idea will be adopted and put into exc.

Il The Union Republicans are making q
e grave mistake in calling together theii
s forces for a state convention. In the
! first place they cannot possibly need {
convention if their aims are one, no.
does the holding of a convention MAKE
the party any more of a unit, becaus'
r, the regulars will not accept OF any over
= lures which by their dictatOrial polio!
r appear more in the light OF a genera
N and unOompromising order.-New Cas-
tie News.
MI Fred Eden Bach has received a $3.50
appointment. Not so bad, yet Mr. Bac
deserves recognition from the part
Il that he has labored for so many years
