The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1898-11-03


vouches for Mr.. Handy, and Mr.. Handy
vouches for him. Mr.. Bailey is the official
leader and spokesman OF the Democratic
opposition in the National House of Rep
resentatives, and should the election re-
suit In the Democratic House no stands to
he its speaker, and armed with all the tre-
mendous power, which next to ,ha6 Of the
President himself belongs to the holding
of that great position.
MIR, Bailey wants Mr. Handy's vote fora
free coinage bill, by which they both will
seek to level American industries and pros.
pority He rs speaker, with Mr.. Handy's
vote, will seek in every way to embarrass
the administration of President Mckinley
in the settlement of tho delicats, difficult
and momentous issues in foreign affairs,
which are now pending for dot ermination
In this county. 1t Is not to be credited, nor
does there seem to DO any probability
from the splendid result, of this admins
tration that the voters Of Delaware who
gave President Mckinley bo ween three
and four thousand plurality, will now, at.
ter two years Of the resusctation of the
national welfare. seek to undo the good
work they did then. Nor is the issue with
respect to the Legislature, and the choice
ii Is to make Of u United S ate, senator
Of less interest or Importance 1t is to be
regretted thai Senator Gray has cast
cloud upon his previous unbroken record
on the silver question. He cast two voteson
the silver question in the present Congress
which tended to raise tho doubt Us to his
fidelity to the gold s.andard, OF which he
had been SO conspicuous an advocate.
Those votes were in favor of the payment
of the national bonds, In silver, and the
coinage OF the seignorage in lhe Treasury.
Both were rank features of the free silver
hcresy. 1t was an endeavor tn stra,lde on
this question, when it is one that admit, Of
no equivocation or dubiUusness OF treat
ment. II the Senator in castlny those vo 0,
sought to create an impression that he
favored the free silver cause. then If the
gold Democrat cast their vote So us to iu-
sure his relurn to the Senate, they are the
ones who will be fooled. II, however, it was
merely II tub thrown to the silver men
who are the oaes who will be fooled, The
serious cttizen: Of the state want no $ UGH
uncertainty and in Justice to themselves
ought to give their votes accordingly.
