not change note which she handed him
to take out the fare for herself and 5-year-

Mrs. Hargis rides because she ia not
physically able to walk any considerable
distance, but the conductor told her she
had better get ont and take the next car
as he was unable to change the money
for her.
The woman felt mortified, but was
forced to accept the inevitable. ;,
The woman's husband, and in TACT all
Of her friends, think it the most prepos.

natural leaders were the leaders in roli-

AvuTIi leducln Weic tilc lCu0SIo ia toiE
cs.
Here is what The Deid,carsan says:
The ridiculous pretensions Of pre-.
tended and self.important leadars were
also a fruitful cause OF Democratic die
aster.
The assumption Of political leader
ship by incompetent and unworthy
persons who would not and could not
even be loyal followers las a greater
tendency than almos' anything else to
produce dsorganization, apathy and
defeat. Hypercunning politics and
sham professions OF attachments to
Derocratic principles cannot be
counted on to achieve success. The
desire to feather well ones own nest
is too transparent to be hidden by
flights of elocution, no matter how
carefully prepared, or by protpstatlons
Of sympathy for the condition OF the
"dear people"
We have had too many self-ap-
pointed leaders who had no followers;
TOO many professional politicians who
wer. unable to earn an honest living
outside the warm walls of political
Office and too much sacrifice of self
respect to inspire respect or conviction
in tho minds Of those who did the
voting.
The small incident of moving a
Democratic meeting held for the dis
cussion Of the principles OF good gov
ernment from under the shadow of a
State House to a stable yard, close to
the inspiration of handy bar room, IS
only slightly indicative of conditions
which might have been avoided.
Let us have honest principles, plain
iy stated, explained and illustrated,
and the people are with us now as
they always have been. Let US have
the facts OF good Democratic govern.
ment told, and the people will not 60
wrong; but let them once doubt the
sincerity OF expression or catch the
ring Of the false coin, and they will
have no more OF it.
The leaders OF the old days have
been too much pushed in the back
ground. The men who were the lead
ing men of their neighborhOods in in
telligence and character were too little
consulted as to party policies, and
faithful, hardworking Democrats came
to think that hard work was their only
share in politics and that trickery and
chlcaLery, which they despised a,.n
would not resort to, were the only
road to political preferment, or by
which a friend could be aided.
Is IT, surnrisinp that aDathy sup
planted political energy and activity
and that defeat ensued?
The only way to make our party
healthy is to 60 back to old conditions,
when natural leaders were the leaders
in politics, when men were recognized
by the work they did and influence
they properly exercised, not to push
themselves into political Office, but be.
cause they lived lives of wholesome
citizenship, when sometimes even un-
Willingly rewards Of public office were
forced upon them. In sue! times
healty conditions make strong men
and strong parties, believing in sound,
healthy principles and practices; and
we believe that such healthy condi.
tions exist to-day in our party, though
some strnchts and much dust which
have been produced and kicked up
may seem most prominent and pene-
lrat,ng.
We shall labor in our small way to
prove this true, and if the good men
Of our party will all help we shall be
satisfied with results accomplished.

To the intelligent reader, Samuel Ban
croft's expose of the wrong doings of the
New Castle county Levy Court is rather
difficult of understanding.
His facts as printed are drll and list
less They convey the idea that the
man who posse sses them and gives them
to the public as truth, is lieing.
The proof Of Samuel Bancroft's four
charges against the Levy Court Commits
sioncrs carries with it the lie.
Bancroft will have to frame his facts
