until it is fought, and no fight is won
until one side is vanquished. Claims 40
not prove anything. 1t is only the votes
that count.
We advise every good citizen to pay no
heed to the wild claim OF the Democrats
at this time. 1t is claim deliberately
arranged and given to the public last
Monday according to conference OF the
Democratic headers. But even these
claims, wild as they are, should not be
ignored. They should serve to stimulate
the voters of the State, who believe in
honest money and good State and ma
tional government, to continue their
fight with more vigor than ever. The
issues to-day are of national Importance,
as well as of importance to the State and
to the several counties of Delaware.
A Democratic victory would mean
continuance of the reign of the party OF
fraud and injustice. A Republican VIC
tory would mean reform along all lines
in the State. Delaware should be as.
sured Of two Honest Money representa-,
tives in the next Congress--a United
States Senate. and member of the
| lower house. The duty of Delawareans
is clear and idle boasts at this time, upon
the part of the Bryanitcs. should be
taken for Just what they are worth
nothing Morning Nems.
| We fancy that some of our Regular Re-
publican friends are not pleased with the
nomination of Mr.. H ffecker for Con.
rress, as they profess to be. We could
ever understand why Mr.. Hoffecker
was so obnoxious to them as candidate
tor Governor and So acceptable as a can
idate for Congressman. Of course, the
Regulars did not want Mr. H0ffecker in
the gubernatorial chair, for that would
mean that the spoils would go to the Ad-
dicksites, assuming that Mr. Bird spoke
the truth when he said that Mr.. Hof-
fecker "wore the badge of Addicks, and
Mr.. Hoffecker himself declared that he
stood lust where he did two years ago" "
If Mr.. Hoffecker is cho en- to Congress
will not Il e President rec gnize him in
the distribution of Delaware spois?

Sussex county paper says that John
A. Lingo, the Republican Addcksi,e
candidate for State Auditor, was arrested
on Thursday for bribery. The public
has heard no su.h damaging news about
Gr. L. A. II. Bishop, the Democratic
candidate for that responsible Office. 1t
is unfortunate for Mr.. Lingo that he was
detected in his nefarious work just before
the election. but the public is fortunate
in being apprised of the action OF the
; county authorities, for no man who il
, even suspected of being briber, much
less arrested and held under bail charged
with such an offense against the law
should be permitted'to hold the position
of auditor of the finance of the State
Erening Journal.
