This desperate move on the part Of
the Addicksites will cause harmony to
be farther removed than ever, and
shows that the bitter feeling between
the two factions is by no means allayed.
The division in the Republican ranks is
the opportunity of the Democrats, and
they should allow no disaffection among
themselves to endanger their chances
for success.-Delaware Democrat.
The political outlook in Kent county
is at present very encouraging to the
Democrats. The registration which
was subsequently completed last Tues
day, is practically gratifying. Both par
ties seem to have Gone their best in
getting the voters upon the list and the
result shows the very large total in the
county Of 6l5 or this number 434 are
white and 1S1 colored, making a ma
jority OF 253 white voters.-Kent News.
In less than an hour after he had
taken the oath OF office last week the
new Republican collector for this dis
trict, Benjamin Parlett, discharged
seventeen Democrats from the revenue
service, and filled their places with Re
publicans. There doesn't seem to be
much civil service in Benjamin's meth
DDS. He's setting a good precedent,
however for his Democratic successor
in 1901.-Milford Herald.
Very naturally the Republicans OF
this state feel that they have been poor
ly treated in the matter of receiving
Federal patronage. Trouble and dissen-
sion has been their lot since j. Edward
Addicks came upon the scene. The
party was split into factions, and ever
since then there has been discord and
unrost-Delaware Ledger.
That the appointment Of Deputy
Collector of Internal Revenue Wells, of
Maryland, as Collector Robinson's sue
cessor has proved anything but a
source of qualification is apparent. 1t is
only just to this state that the ap-
pointee should be a Delawarean, and
when there is material here it is utter
ly beyond the bounds of reason to go to
another state. Delaware Republicans
should make an appeal from Internal
Revenue Collector Parlett's appoint
ment.-New Castle News.
The Union Republican call for state
convention invites all Republicans who
voted for Mckinley and Hobart electors
to participate in the primaries, and in
directly attacks all Republicans who
did not vote for Addicks electors

Fred Eden Bach does not intend that

His verbose prolixity is only equalled
