Knowing that the Milford News and
Advertiser is a Regular Republican
paper, owned by several Regular Re
publican leaders. and that Colonel e.
n. Cooper Is a Democrat and one who
has done many things to prevent both
Regular Republicans and Union Re
publicans from redeeming Kent
county, we can forgive II for its ju-
bilation over the conviction Of Colonel
Cooper We can also understand why
John II. Batoman, ex-cashier Of the
First National Bank of Dover, should
feel pleased with the verdict. He is
the man who sat at his desk in the
bank while BOggs was stealing S107 600
and whose first intimation OF the gi-
gantic theft was a letter of confession
from Boggs himself. He is glad for
the sake of the Addicks party Of Kent
county, and he would DE better pleased
still If he could see all the other Demo
cratic leaders of the county hauled in
by the drag-net which has Nen thrown
out in places designated by Boggs. We
trust that he does not regard the col
onel's conviction as a vindication of his
own gross carelessness in the admin
istration Of the affairs Of the bank II
he does, he might ask the board of di
rectors to reinstate him and see wha
they will do.

THE PENINSULA PRESS

We take occasion here to reiterate
that the sanitary condition OF the town
is not what It should be, and that trade
is unusually dull These are facts that
our critics do not dispute, but would
fain conceal for fear that some person
intending to become a resident should
be deferred from coming here. With a
full appreciation OF our cOntempOrar-
les desire TO promote the town inter-
ests, we do not believe that they should
be advanced upon a false basis, but
rather that public attention should be
called to existing conditions with a
view 10 correcting them.-Cecil Demo-

THE WAR AND THE -JUNT1- -

We have no doubt that The p esiidsnt
understands that there are compare
lively few ARMED insurgents in Cuba,
and THAT lhe hats never placed much, If
any. confidence in their ability to rem
der a great deal of assistance N driv-
ing THE Spaniards out OF Cuba. We
have several times expressed the opin-
ion that the number Of ARMED insur-
gents was greatly exaggerated The
president knew what he was doing
when he strenuOusly objected TO uecOg-
nizing the Cuban republic. He had
good reason fer thinking THAT the only
government the insurgents knew amy
thing about was The Cuban Junta in
New York city.
It is evident THAT our navy and
army will have to drive the SpsnlaIdl;
out of Cuba. 1t would be a mistake to
| depend upon CuEans TO do il. And
when the Spanfards are driven cut the

PLuMs FOR REGULARS.

The Regular Republicans have very
little strength in Sussex county, but
they are getting the offices. James II.
Maull has within the past few days re-
ceived his commission as postmaster
of Georgetown, and DR.. Caleb r. Lay
ton, the Addicks leader, and his friends,
are naturally indignant. They know
that the Mckinley administration has
given it's ear to the regulars, but with
each appointment made there is an in
dignant protest from these men who
refuse to permit Mckinley and Hanna
20 use the Federal patronage % whip
them into line or drive them out OF the
party.
Now the interest in appointments
shifts once more to New Castle county.
Ex-Representative McKendree Down
ham, editor Of the Mlddletown Trans
cript, has come to the front as an ap-
plicant for the lucrative position OF
postmaster Of Middletown. Like all
other Regular Republicans, he steps
forward with the seeming positive as
surance that he will get what he is
after. His appointment viii be
wormwood and gall to the followers OF
Addicks, for he has been one OF Tho
most uncompromising Of their foes,
and has done his full share in tho
work Of circumventing the designs or
the Union Republicans.
Here in Wilmington it Is conceded
that the postmastership will 30 to a
Regular Republican. Washington
Hastings, Winfield S. Quigley and DR..
Evan G.. Shortidge are the factors in
the Fight. In fact it may be narrowed
down to Mr. Hastings and Nj. Quig-
ley, and the man who indulges in bet
ting will not go far wrong if ne car
rles il a step farther and selects Mr..
Hastings as winner.
The Mckinley administration has
nothing against William Michaei Byrne
lie is regular in every respect. But
Hugh c. Browne has been in the party
harness ever since he was more lad
and has never received any reward
for his services. He is now going tC
receive something. and even Mr.
Byrne's warmest friends and support
ers will not say that he does not de
serve 1t.
While all this is going on the Ad
dicksites, who made desperate effort
to secure recognition from the nation
al administration. sit back, suck thei
thumbs, brood over their wrongs an,
map out plans for vengeance.
