only accuses the Republican party Of
being the Addicks party, but makes the
accusation that their leaders are all
salaried lieutenants Of j. Edward Ad'
dicks.
The Republican party of Sussex county
think evidently that "silence is golden
and throw no straw in the path of the
howlers and whoopers led by the At
torney-General.
They claim that the assertion made by
Mr.. White in asking for a conviction OF
Rev. g. G. Collins, tired at Dover, charged
with bribery, in which the Attorney.
General made the plea that it was far
better to convict ten innocent men than
allow one guilty one to escape, is fair
sample of the campaign that has been
furthered by Mr.. White and which
teemed with just such radical and whole
sale unprincipled advice. W. G.
Ante-election predictions are always
taken with grains of allowance, but con-
servative estimates based upon registra-
ton figures may be made with good
show Of confidence. The uncertainty of
all such estimates lies in the tiuge of
bluff which so freqently colors them.
Many politicians seem to think it neces-
sary to simulate extreme confidence in
order to bolster up the spirit of their
party adherents. The attitude of pub
lie newspaper should not, however, be
influenced BY such feelings. Its duty is
to publish facts as they exist.
In this spirit we have gone over the
registration figures as best we may, and
now feel able to predict the success of
the Kent county Democratic ticket by
majority not lower than two hundred,
and probably much higher.
We give this as most conservative es-
innate.
All of the candidates of the General
Assembly cannot, OF course, be elected.
The district system made under the new
Constitution has made this an impossi-
bility. Out of the fourteen legislators to
be voted for, therefore, we give four to
the Union Republicans, and put two
more as doubtful, thus giving the Demo-
Gratis a certainty of eight out of the four
teen or nine out of the fifteen. counting
in the holding-over Senator. with chances
for couple more.
The prospects in the other two coun-
ties seem, from the reports which have
reached us, to be also gratifying TO State
Democracy.
These facts should encourage Demo-
Gratis to action and energy.-Docer Inder.
Patrick Neary, chairman OF the Demo-
cratic County Executive Committee,is is re-
garded by men of all parties as one OF the
shrewdest, best informed and most capa-
BILE politicians in New Castle county.
His party has faith in his power to make
plans to effect organization and, by
means OF such organization, to carry his
plans into effective execution. Repnbli-
cans fear his ability because they have
no one who can successfully cope with
him on equal conditions; at the same
time they admire and trust him because,
in all of his history, he has never broken
a promise entered into with the Republi-
cans. We challenge proof of his bad
faith. Such man needs no defense
against such lying statements as those
which come from local contemporary.
He is pursuing the even tenor of his
way, preparing his party to march to tine
polls next Tuesday to administers DEATH
blow to Addicksism and singing re-
ruke to Regular Republicanism, its ac-
compice in political crime. This Re-
publican clamor about Democratic frauds
is merely trick to distract public atten.
ton from the wholesale frauds which the
Republicans and Addicksites themselves
mediate or which they have already
perpetrated. Erening Journal.
Republican voters OF the First Sena-
torial District in this city, those who are
sincerely in favor of the election of Sam
uel NJ. Knox, the Republican nominee
for State Senator, should keep an eye
upon the Union Republicans OF the dis
trict, who have plainly shown their hos
tility to Mr.. Knox and their desire to
encompass his defeat.
1t will be borne in mind that the
Union Republicans, with exactly the
same nominees as the Regulars, insisted
upon filing with the Clerk Of the Peace a
separate ticket for place on the official
ballot. This places on that ballot the
Regular Republican and Union Republi-
can tickets, each containing, presumably.
the same candidates for the respective
official positions.
But the Union Republican ticket for
the First Senatorial district bears the
name of Samuel IN" Knox for State
Senator, instead of Samuel "M." Knox.
Ordinarily, this would appear to be a
tritling error, but all the circu instances
indicate deliberate intent. There is
room for no other conclusion than that
the name was thus misspelled On the
Union Republican ticket for the purpose
of encompassing the defeat of Samuel M.
Knox. The committee of the Union Re-
publicans practically acknowledged this
by issuing a card in which Union Re-
publican voters were advised to vote the
Regular Republican ticket. on which
Mr.. Knox's name is correctly spelled.
But there is no assurance that the
Union Republican voters will do this.
If they do not; if they deliberately vote
the ticket containing the name of Samuel
"N." Knox, they will plainly vote
against Samuel "M." Knox, the Regular
Republican nominee, and he will be de-
feated.
Watch the Union Republican trick
sters. .-Erery Erening.
