1.-The Union Republicans who meet In
tho nominations made by the Regular
Republican Convention which met last
Thursday in Dover The consensu, of the
Republicans is that Mr.. John H. Hoffeck-
sr Of Smyrna, Kent county, should DO
slected to Congress az the election to be
held in November The Union Republic
cans would not commit such colo sal
blunder as not to ratify the ticket which
received the endorsement of the Regular
Republicans. 1t remains to DO seen what
Kind Of platform they adopt and whe,h.
Or they recommend President McKinley's
administration. Mr. Frank Alice, the
recognized leader OF tho Union Republi-
cans In Kent county, has said that hc
speaks for the party when he said that the
Republican nominees wero perfectly salts
factory to the Union Republicans. The
ticket certainly should not be Objectionable
rs it contains two Addicks Republicans
and only one Regular If harmony means
anything, surely the selection of this tick.
ct should meet their hearty approval. 1t
means Republican victory in New Castle
county as well as the whole State
THE Readingites certainly owned the
city yesterday. The Wilmington poice
force never made better showing t an
when they marched mp Market street,
headed by Hya1t's Military Band ,cscorting
the ReadIng police force and city officials.
They wero never treated more royalty than
on this visit to our city as guests of our
police force. The guests were taken to
German Hall and given luncheon and
then a trolley ride after which they ad.
ministered the same kind Of treatment on
the bail field to our police base ball team
that they gave in Reading lass month.
They were afterwards given rido on the
steamer Twilight and treated to clam
bake at Pennsvl!e They certainly put
in full day and left for home on special
train over the R'ad,ng t. r.. at 10 o clock.
Mayor Jncob Weidel, of Reading. vowed
they could not have been treated be.terand
he, as well as the Reading police force and
It's citizens in general, hold warm spot in
their hearts for the citizens of The metrop-
oils Of the little Diamond State
THE bicycle has worked wonders in the
dress of the female of the present day.
The fair sex think nothing of wearing
their dresses so that in some cases, they
come up above their knees. at least that is
the way they look when they Tide their BIZ
cycles. The oynios say that they make tho
fair sex less modest thun they should be.
What would their grandmothers say II
they could SEE their descendants dressed
ii skirts that blow up to tt cir waists when
on wheel? But still, If thu girls cnjo
the new fashion of abbreviated skirts, why
SHOULD the old men of the present day say
