In this county the Levy Court should /
be abolished, because il is too cumber- |
some and has proved a failure as an
administrative body. 1t has forfeited
the confidence Of the public and a
change Is necessary TO restore that
confidence. We should ascertain as
near as possible the amount Of the
cOuntys indebtedness-th amount Of
county orders outstanding and unpaid
should show this. Secure authority
from the Legislature to borrow enough
TO pas off this indebtedness and then
reduce expenditures to the county's in
come. or raise enough taxes to pay all
expenses Of the county.-Sussex Re

Many school children Of this city are

There is some silly talk going on
among some silly men and no less silly
newspapers to the effect that certain
Republicans in this state and the ad-
minstration at Washington are en-
deavorng to secure the reelection OF
Senator Gray to the United States Sen
ate But 1t Is only the small fry pa
pers that take any stock In this sort
OF thing They 40 it because they have
nothing better to create a sensation,

for such light and trihng papers

A liberal reward will be paid for the
discovery Of any political question
upon which the Republican leaders are
united. The proposition does not in
cude the war. as that Is national ana
not political. 1t does not include Of
ices, for that is financial and not po-
litical. They have NO political unity
and only claim the past glory of Lin
coin Republicanism as a pretext for
power. Political degeneracy is the true
emblem OF McIianna Republicaniem.-

Mr.. Addlcls himself declared thai
he spent no money in the Delaware
campaign. This in previous years has
been his sole claim to the senatorship
and now that his claim by his owl
statement is mythical this apologist
we presume, is limiting around for an
other reason why he should be elected
and therefore sets forth a pretens'
, that he is a good Republican. We be
iieve that some OF the members of tn,
. Legislature will refuse to vote for Mr.
Addicks ON the ground that he Is no
good Republican and they woul'
' be Justified In so doing.-Sunda,
