Republican ranks bids fair to be ef-
faced by time, and when the union OF
Republican forces is once more estab-
liehed, there should be no doubt Of vic
tory If every Republican does their
duty Republican.
The attorney general has advised the
governor that he may remove justices
OF the peace for cause, and II is said
that cause exists in a number Of in
stances. 1t would be far better 1t
strikes us, to appoint good men in the
first place.-Cecil Democrat.
From the window Of Justice office we
can see a nice new building in process
Of erection. Carpenters and bricklayers
are busily at work, and the corner Of
Fourth and Shipley streets will be i'm
proved. The amount of the fine to be
imposed upon the improver has not yet
been determined.--Just
AS we said last Saturday, Mr.. Hof-
fecker, the nominee for Congress, "the
man who two years ago received the
unqualified endorsement Of the Union
Republicans by a nomination for gov
ernor. Mr. Hoffecker is the very same
man he was two years ago, the very
same man he has ever been.-Dover
State Sentinel.
All Delawareans, Of whatever poitt
cal faith, should make It their solemn
duty to prevent our state from being
misrepresented in the Senate by a man
whose only means OF warfare are the
lavish use Of money and other methods
OF corruption 1t is hoped that state
pride will induce many Of his own
party to take this view and we may
again be spared the shame of such a
result.-Delaware Democrat.
Every delegate to these conventions
should have at heart the success Of the
party and the welfare Of the state, both
Of which are in jeopardy. 1t will be far
more easy to throw away Kent county
this Fall than TO win it back at some
future election.-Dover Delawarean.
1t was a generous thing fror the Bal
timore county men to make William b.
Bakers nomination unanimous. II was
gratifying, too, to notice the affection
ate greetings thereafter of several
prominent Republicans who for some
In the way Of a compromise it is al.
ready limited that Regular Republicans
will be nominated for the legislative
ticket in the strong Democratic repre-
sentative and senatorial districts of the
state This will be sop to the Regulars
but 1t will hardly make the soup they
have been clamoring for. This would
look nice on paper, but Addcks would
have all the members who would be
elected, and the Regulars would have
the glory Of running for Office just to
be defeated. VIII the scheme work.

1t Is suggested, and with a good deal
Of reason, that an investigation of Sec
retary klger and his methods, should
include an inquiry into the evils which
have resulted from the appointment OF
relations and friends Of senators and
representatives in Congress to posi-
tions which they were in no manner
qualified to fill. The American people
want the whole story-they are not
looking for a scapegoat-they want
the light turned on Every member of
Congress who voted an incompetent
man upon the government shares in the
gullt.-Delaware Pilot.
The volunteers will be glad to receive
their discharge. They are not profes-
sional soldiers. Nearly all Of them
have peaceful occupations from which
they went and to which they can return
any day. They enlisted for a purpose,
which hae been accomplished They
have done their whole duty to their
country and they will welcome the or.
der which allows them to return TO
their families. friends and business

We welcome Professor Knowles and
the other new additions to our corps Of

that New Castle parents are satisfied
with your work, and know that their
children are well taught in your care

II is time that the Republicans of
/ ST. Georges hundred and OF every other
hundred in the state were casting
around for legislative candidates. Per-
haps we should adopt the new order
and cay districts, senatorial and repre-
sentative The best men available
should be taken Of character and tudg-
ment The great work OF the next Gen
eral Assembly is not the election of a
United States senator, though that is
| important but the conforming Of the
laws Of the state to the new order OF
thinge-the new Constitution. Men oi
experience are needed.-MidLletow
