factional TROUBLES. and the party con-
tinued to live and be victorious after
the one defeat which settled the fac
tional controversy forever. Since then
the party has never split on state issues
Free silver drove out Bayard, Gray,
Wolcott, Grubb and hundreds Of others
who would not be bound by the work
OF the Chicago convention. With the
old leaders out, new ones had to come
in Many OF the old ones refused TO
support the ticket and many others
gave it but half-hearted support. IN
der such conditions they could not nat
urally expect to be consulted. AS they
have not come back there is no rea-
son why they should be consulted until
they do. What we want to ask the
Delawarean is, what class OF departed
political leaders 1t is bemoaning-those
OF 1886, or those OF 1896?
An analysis OF the election returns
win show that hundreds OF Democrats
who voted the Republican ticket two
years ago did the same thing this year
National and not local issues caused
their disahsction. Hundreds OF others
sod themselves to the Republicans and
Union Republicans, while in a few in
stances, such as the Fourth ward and
New Castle, local conditions led to de-
feat.
TO regain those Democrats who are
now voting the Republican ticket for
national reasons the party must make
state Issues paramount to national is
sues SO long as national issues consti-
tute an element OF discord and stand
in the way OF victory
TO regain those who are selling
themselves, it is necessary to break up
bribery at elections, or else, If 1t is 10
continue, meet the Regular Republi-
cans and the Union Republicans dollar
for dollar at the registration and cleo
ton. Venality listens to no argument
which is not backed by money, and un-
less the laws are sufficient to check the
bribe-giver the trafficl1ings with the
bribe-taker must continue, and it be-
comes merely a matter Of financial
ability between the parties.
AS for the local quarrels among
Democrats, they can be settled If the
party organizations go about it In the
right way. They are few in number
and should be easy OF adjustment.
The serious elements Of the situation
are to be found inthe Independents and
the purchasables.
When the party policy is made at
tractive to the Independents and the
state is made too hot to hold the
bribers and the venal voters the De
mocracy OF Delaware will be in as good
a position "a it. ever occupied, and
made better in every way by legitimate
Republican aggressiveness.

No one will, for an instant, entertain
the idea that j.. Wesley Vernon, OF the
Daily Republican. meditated the in
hictlon cf serious injury on anyone
when he threw the wrench at the
crowd OF boys which had congregated
around him while he was at his work
He lost his temper and threw the tool,
little dreaming OF the serious conse-
quences which would ensue. Unfortu-
nately, the Morning News office boy
stepped directly in the way of the re
boundingmissile and sustained injurie'
which may prove fatal. We are sure
that no one more regrets the tragedy
that Mr.. Vernon himself. He is a
warm hearted, impulsive young
man, and no doubt the grief which he
feels is as great as that Of the rela-
tives and friends Of the injured boy.
While the thing is deplorable in every
way, we feel sure that Mr.. Vernon will
share the public sympathy which has
been called forth by the disastrous re-
suit OF his inconsiderate act.
