At the Democratic rally held in the
Eleventh ward Tuesday evening, growls
were heard from some OF the audience to
put certain Democrat off the platform,
saying that he hrrrahed and voted for
for President in 1896. Ex-
pressions were heard that we're not very
complimentary to the gentleman who
presided. The old sore is not yet healed
and all is not as lovely in the Demo-
cratic ranks a. Congressman Handy
would have us to think. In fact, the

1t was given out by a member of the
Union Republican county committee,
Yesterday, that the committee had re-
ceived verbal, as we'll as written, state
ments from the Regular Republican
legislative nominees, with reference to
the Union Republican demand for eau
Gus pledges. No doubt the people would
be pleased to know the tenor of these
verbal responses. And they have q
right to know, too. 1t would be well
for these candidates to make clean
breast of what they said by word Of
mouth, as they did with what they
wrote. If there is any attempt to with
hold this interesting information from
the voters, the latter may form their
own conclusions and vote according ly.-

The Republicans of Kent county will
not forget the outrage Of 1896 and the
Republicans of New Castle county will
not forget the attempt to steal this
county in the. same year. Democrats in
both counties who believe in standing by
the verdict at the pslls should vote this
year for the Republican candidates

The counting OF the veto by the Demo.
cratic inspectors, under the order of the
court, does not mean that those votes
were the free and honest expression OF
the voters Of this county. The court did
not decide that the charge OF the Demo-
Gratis that these votes were the results Of
wholesale bribery and corruption. That
charge still remains undenied and unde-
niabe.-Dorer Index.
The harmony which appeared so thick
between the two factions of Delaware
Republicanism short time back, has
now turned SO thin as to be total fail
ure as cement.
After having ignored the Regulars in
Kent, where they felt secure in numbers,
and trying sops in Sussex, and entering
into an apparent fair agreement in New
Castle, the Union Republicans proceed
to put on the screws in the latter
county.
1t is pretty clear that the Unions ex-
pected everything in Kent, strong ma.
jority in Sussex and a goodly sprinkle in
New Castle. This expectation was
doomed, however, to sad disappoint-
ment in the primaries in New Castle. In
stead of securing substantial represen-
tation on the ticket there, they could
but gain representative in certainly
Democratic district. Even this, however,
did not mean necessary failure in their
object. Twenty-seven votes in the legis-
lature would be required to elect Mr..
Addicka to the L. S. Scnate. This
twenty-seven they knew they could not
gain; but if all the Republicans would
agree to be bound by the caucus, only
fourteen votes might effect their purpose.
Fourteen votes would control a caucus oil

These fourteen votes the Union Re-
publcans expect to be able to secure.
These fourteen votes would not, how.
ever, be of any use to them if the other
thirteen Regulars would not submit tC

the caucus. The vital point then was

selves to the caucus in advance. The
Unions, therefore, resorted to the ex.
pedient of sending circular letters to the
Regular nominees demanding pledge in
advance, and intimating that a refusal to
give it would lose them the vote of the
Unions, and thus lead to their certain
defeat. 1t was shrewd move, but has
been successfully baked by these same
Regular nominees who, on Tuesday, re.
piled to the circular letters by declining
to make the pledge requested or rather
demanded. 1t is true that they did not
come out boldly and independently and
repudiate such demand, but at least
they did not actually accede to it.-Dore,
