courts we're called upon to punish the
men who thwarted the will Of the peo-
pie. by throwing out enough Republ ican
votes to thereby elect the Democrats to
the Offices voted for. But the court saw
fit and proper to carry the cases from
one term of court to another, until
nearly two years have elapsed. The
Superior Court this week at Dover
ordered the opening OF the ballot boxes
of Kent county and the votes counted.
Five Republicans and five Democrats
were seated in the Constitutional Con-
vention when not one Democrat had
been elected from Kent county to sit in
that body. Now the Republicans pro-
pose to put two tickets in the field this
year and repeat their empty victory OF
two years ago.-Daily Republican.
The men who are agitating the placing
of two Republican tickets in the field in
New Castle county are not as good as
Benedict Arnold and lie in their heart
when they say they have the good OF the
Republican party at heart. This same
policy two years ago caused the Republi..
can party to lose the state with the aid OF
the counting out machine of the Demo-
cratic party in Kent county.
It's pity the party managers could
not have had sense enough to keep all
past chickering's out of the present cam
paign and thereby insure full Republi-
can vote on November 7th 1t has been
hard work for the Republican workers to
get men to get registered and il this
fight assumes any tangible form and two
Republican tickets are placed in the field
it will be harder than ever to get those
who have not yet qualified, to do so.
The placing of two Republican tickets in
the field can only result in the election
of the Democratic ticket. The men who
are responsible for the second ticket be-
ing brought out should be marked and
never allowed to hold any position here
after in the party. The Republicanism
of some men in the party, who place
party last and themselves first, is enough
to disgust all Republicans. They are
Republicans for what they can get out
of the party, directly or indirectly; their
patriotism is not the kind that ruled
their forefathers and the less said by
some of the candidates the better.
Gentlemen, for goodness sake and for the
sake of the Republican party, don't
talk. As General Grant said: 'Let us
have peace" "--Daily Republican.
"a Parlor Match" is billed for produc-
tion at the Grand Opera House on Octo-
ber 7. Ingenious advertisements are
being circulated which are calculated to
deceive the public. The coming COM
pany is not the famous Evans and Hoey
combination. No member of that truly
great company is with this organization.
Mr.. Evans is in New York; the great
Old Hoss Hoey died some months ago OF
paresis and the peerless Anna Held is
playing at the Herald Square Theatre,
New York, in "a French Maid" With
out l. McCorker Evans; "Me-Old
Hoss Hoey and the chic Held "a Parlor
Match" would be very dull perform
ance indeed, and one wholly unworthy
of a Wilmington presentation. The
company that threatens to attack Will
mington on October is entirely without
merit. 1t is nondescript organization
of transformers living on the reputation
made by Evans and Hoey. "a Parlor
Match" is ten years old and would never
have lasted over a season but for the per-
somIity and ability of Evans and Hoey,
and later on the splendid work OF Anna
Held.

Byrne, if it wasn't for that Bordeaux.
