Gradually the facts connected with the

towards who instigated the crime and
who advised the weakling election
officers to violate their oath of office,
those officers now realize the miserable
plight in which they are placed and are
making few revelations. One promi-
nent election officer makes open state
ment that letters were received byelection

member OF the Democratic County
Committee, and one from another
prominent Democrat, directing the said
election board to refuse to sign the GER
titicates of election if the vote was ad.

made victim, he has sew .red his con-
nection with the party, refused to re-

Postmaster Hugh Browne, whose re-
gard for Civil Service Reform is evi-
denced by the fact that he retains his
political position of chairman of the Re-
publican State Committee, has issued a
famboyant address, in which he makes
most eXtravagant claims of Republican
victory in Delaware at the approaching
election. The address, for such it really
is, appears in the thin disguise of an
interview with representative of an
Addicks Republican organ.
There are some things in Mr.. Browne s
address that are decidedly interesting.
For instance, in his opening remarks he
panses to make this Interpolation:
"By the wav, it is surprising that
anyone should raise the question of
Mr.. Hoffecker's position on the money
question. He not only stands on a
sound money platform, but his own
declarations and views are in hearty
sympathy with the principles of his party
on this subject"
This is all very assuring, SO far as
Postmaster Browne is concerned, but no
doubt, the people would rather hear
from Mr.. Hoffecker himself upon this
matter We are not aware, judging by
his public utterances, that the RepubIi-
can nomineefor Representative in Con-
gress is a whit more sound upon TIE
money question than is his Democratic
competitor. Let Mr.. Hoffecker give his
own testimony.
Further on in his remarkable address,
Mr.. Postmaster-Cha Browne makes
this significant inquiry:
''Do the people OF Wilmington want a
partisan machine charter foisted On
them that will take away from them
the principle OF local self government"
We can assure the people, in reply,

The sun., 1898-11-01

Before his departure from this city on
last Friday night Congressman Joseph
W. Bailey, of Texas, who spoke at the
Bijou Theatre at a Democratic mass
meeting made the positive statement that
President Mckinley would do all in his
power for the reelection OF Senator
George Gray, Democrat, to the United
States Senate.
Those present at the time expressed nc
surprise at this statement, as it has been
known for the past year that the Ad'
ministlation has recognized in George
Gray one of the shrewdest and best
statesmen that have ever appeared in the
upper House OF Congress.
1t was for this reason that he was ap
pointed as one Of the Peace Commits
sioners to Paris, and althoug III at first
10th to accept the honor conferred on
him by reason Of the near approach o.
the election he was finally induced tc
give way to the wishes Of the President
with the direct understanding that hi
interests would be looked after in Della
ware.
There is slight history back Of thii
and one that presumably is not known
to the majority of the politicians OF this
Slate.
Prior to Mr.. Gray's departure the
President held conference with three
of the leading Republicans of Delaware
At this conference the President can
didly confessed that he desired the re-
turn of Mr.. Gray to the United States
Senate.
At first these Republicans demurred
but after Mr.. Mckinley had stated hi
reasons they were induced to coincide
with him and they left him with the as
surance that they too would do all il
their power towards accomplishing th'
reelection of Mr.. Gray.
The question of Mr.. Gray's return nov
rests in their hands, and judging from
the present outlook, there is no doub
but what the three Republican leader
named will make good their promise t.
the President and Mr.. Gray will sue
ceed himself as United States Senate
from this State.
The scurrilous attack made upon Hon
George Gray by Jerome B. Bell, OF th'
Sunday Star, has created discussion
throughout New Castle, Sussex aud Ken
counties, irrespective of party affiliations
A prominent Republican stated yester
day afternoon that it was unprovoked an
uncalled for. He designated the act a
that OF man driven to desperation, an
stated that it was the duty of ever
loyal Delawarean, irrespective of party
to stand up and deny the imputatio
placed on the name of man who's
character he and others tt ought was be
yond reproach
The cowardly attack has resulted i
one thing, and that is that to-day Unite
States Senator George Gray has NOR
friends in Delaware than any one man i
the State.
There is no doubt that the people wi
demonstrate this at the polls and tn
dastardly assault made upon his chal
acter be redeemed by the election {
Representatives that will be sure to re
seat him once again in the Unite
States Senate.

The RepuJlican always wants to fight
fair. We have no desire to misrepre-
sent anybody ard are willing always to
make honorable amends when we have
been mistaken. We have no enemies to
punish that we would go out of the way
to misrepresent and bI4cken their char
acter for the sake of revenge. We may
sometimes be mistaken, but when we are.
and are convinced of it, we are always
willing to make honorable amends. This
campaign thus far has been free of mud
Singing and blackguardism in the news
papers. In fact the campaign has been
an unusual one for Delaware. Few meet

Persons who feel that they lave been
unfairly treated by the election registrars
may appeal to Judge Spruance to have
their q ievances corrected if he sees fit to
act favorably upon their appeals. A
position of that kind must be exceed
ing gly embarrassing to man of such we'll
known Republican sympathies. If the
appellants are Republicans and he orders
that their names be placed on the books
the Democrats criticise him for carving
his politics into court: and if Re fails to
grant the orders the Republicans criticise
him for Not giving his party the benefit
of an advantage which his judicial posi-
ton has placed in his hands. The Daily
Republican,, with but little consideration
for Judge Spruance or party policy, sizes
up the situation in the following terse
sentence: "What a nice thing it is to
have Republican Judge on the bench in
Delaware We do not believe that the
Judge will appreciate the sentiment, but
the sentence expresses the sentiments OF
Republicans generally, no matter what
the Judge thinks of it.-Erening Journal.

that if they want partisan, charter for
Wilmington they can readily secure one
by electing Republican Legislature, in
Guiding Mr.. Daniel F. Stewart, the Re-
publican nominee in the Fifth district,
this city. Mr.. Stewart served a brief
term in the State Senate at the last ses-
sion, but the experience of this term is
sufficient to show the people what he
would do it he got chance at new
charter for Wilmington, with partisan
majority to support.
Again Mr.. Browne says:
"We will have from ] 900 to ] 800 ma
jority in New Castle, 200 to 500 in Kent,
and 500 in Sussex"
MIR. Postnlaster-Ch Browne is
very kind, we are sure. In this 'esti-
mate" he is exceedingly liberal, in his
way, to the Democrats. The total vote
of the State at the coming election will
be about $4,000. OF this number, Mr..
Brownies estimate Of $500 Republican
majority in the State leaves the Demo-
Gratis less than $4,000. Verv generous on
the part of Mr.. Browne, indeed. But an
examination of the records shows that
two years ago, even with thousands of
Democrats voting the Republican ticket,
on the money question, the Democratic
vote for Governor was 6,2l9. This vote,
of itself, at the coming election, would
. doubtless elect the Democratic State
ticket, but who can deny that it will be
Iar'ey swollen by the Democrats VINO
would not vote the Democratic ticket
two years ago, but are resolutely hostile
to the Addicks Republican ticket this
year. Nor does Mr. Browne take into
consideration that the Republican part y
is at least 800 short on the negro vote
in New Castle county alone. How silly
his claims in the face of such pertinent
facts.
Mr.. Postmaster Chairman Browne has
excited nothing but ridicue by his
bumptious address. 1t will not bear
analysis. 1t is simply wall born of the
almost certain prospect of Republican
defeat in Delaware. .-Euery Erening

temporary counterpart as the church
OF the Living God; the one, Holy
Catholic and Apostolic church in
which we all profess to believe when
we see the creed. That is its local

Holy City is to be, that the church
militant here on earth now is, impli-
city and potentially. The taber-
nacle of God is now with men, and
he dwelleth with US, and we are his
people, and God himself is with us,
and is our God. Even now (if we

neither sorrow nor crying, neither is
there any more pain; for we are dead
