THE KENT COUNTY steal
Union Republican State Central
Committee Awaits the Action
Of the Court.
AN INFORMAL DISCUSSION
Resolution Passed Thanking w alter
H. Hayes and il. H. Ward for
the Service They Did the
Republican Party in
This State.

The Union Republican State Central
Committee held a meeting yesterday
morning at the headquarters, Fifth and
Shipley streets, this city.
There was a full attendance OF the
committee and Chairman ]. Frank Alice
presided, while Secretary William T.
Smithers jotted down the minutes of the
session.
The members present besides those al.
ready mentioned were j. Edward Ad.
dicks OF Claymont, Walter H. Hayes,
Daniel +. Stewart and Thomas E. Postles
of Wilmington; S. F. Ewart, Mill Creek
James Foster, New Castle; George B.
Money, Delaware City; 7. Z. Hurn,
Middletown; Charles II. Atkins, DR..
George w. Marshall and s. John Abbott
Milford; DIR. G. r. Layton, Georgeto wn
Newell Fall, Bridgeville; Harvey T.
Spicer, Bethel.
During the session the following reso
luton was unanimously adopted thank.
ing the gentlemen who had done SO much
towards exposing the Kent county con
fiscation ofballots:
"REsoLvED, That the unanimous and
sincere thanks of the Union Republican
party, through this, their official state
organization are hereby cordially ex.
tended to Walter H. Hayes, Esq, and
Herbert H. Ward, Esq, for the ability,
courage and the persistent determination
manifested by them without fee or re.
ward in securing by the courts of the
state recount of the ballots of Kent
county, Delaware, cast at the election OF
1896 and the official exposure of that
shameless political theft"
The Kent affair was then informally
discussed. but no action was taken in the
matter for the reason that the concensus
of opinion was that it would be discour-
teous to the court to take any step in the
matter until the court had finally dis.
posed of it on Monday OF next week.
After the court has given its final deci.
sion the committee it is understood will
wait to see what Attorney General
Robert C. White will do towards the
prosecution of the men who were the
instigators of the bare-faced steal.
If he takes no steps against these men
then, and not till then,it is the intention
of the committee to call his attention tc
the matter and insist on the prosecution
of the men who placed so much shame
on the escutcheon of the state.
The main instigator of the theft q
prominent Unionist claims,is William H
Greenwell, butcher of Kenton, and il
any one of the men implicated are prose
cuted he will be one of the first to be ar.
rested.
The political situation in the state was
next discussed and it was said that har
mony was accomplished in all the three
counties of the state and that everything
pointed to Republican victory.
An executive committee of five was
then appointed from the State Centra
Committee to have charge of the cam.
paign and the meeting then adjourned

THE THREE CTS NOT IN IT,

Mention was made last week in The
COMET Of railroad rumor that con-
nected the Three C's with new line to
Charleston. This was an error. The
o. r. & @. is not in!the deal. The pro-
posed line that the Clydes are interest
cd in is from a connection with the l..
& N. at Klondike junction to Bristol
over the s. A. & o., and to Elizabeth
ton over the B. e. & N. c., and thence
to Cranberry over the E. T., & W. N.
@. that is to be made a standard gauge
From Cranberry a new line is to be
builtto Lenoir, N. 9. and thence over
connecting lines to Charleston;
The o. R. & G. is not effected by the
new combination but will pursue the
even tenor of its way, but the indica-
tons are the pursuit will become faster
from the near future. If you will read
the article on the first page of this is

to realizelthat the road is stripping for

had no mercy. He planned, dictated,
ruled, executed. There was but one

''Let Admiral Dewey dictate our
policy toward the Philippine Islands. :"
That is the sum and substance of the
advice that some of his most level
headed friends, who have observed the
fact that Dewey has not made single
mistake from the day he destroyed the
Spanish feet, to the day he forced the
surrender of Manila, have been giving
Mr.. Mckinley, who apparently is still
without a policy of his own. 1t has
been urged upon him that Dewey dur
ing the nearly four months he has been
in Manila bay, has thoroughly famil
iarized himself with the condition on
the islands, and would be better able
than any man who is not there, to say
what relations we ought to maintain
toward them. 1t has also been pointed
out to him that the public confidence
in Dewey's Judgment and patriotism
would cause his decision to be received
without question by the people. All OF
these things Mr.. Mckinley has ac-
knowledged, and he would doubtless
be glad to adopt and act upon the adj
vice were it not that some of his politi-
cal advisers have aroused his jealousy
OF Admiral Dewey as a possible rival
in 1900, and told him that Dewey must
be kept in the background if he wanted
to keep him out of the White House.

Future Volunteers.

We hear the opinion frequently
expressed that it would be difficult to
raise another volunteer army if one
should be needed. The reason assign
ed is the unsatisfactory condition in
which the present volunteer army finds
itself. That there is a great deal Of
disappointment and distress growing
out of the present situation cannot be
denied. To be thwarted in the desire
to fight the nations foes aud confined
in monotonous camps all summer was
provoking. but to be fed TO fever and
all sorts of disease through the negli-
gence or incompetence of officers in
high authority is engaging.
The whole nation is rising in arms
against the criminal inefiiciency and
indifference that has sacrificed thou
sands OF lives to disease that might
have been prevented by ordinary care
and intelligence.
The experience is dear one, but it
teaches lesson that will not be forgot
ten.
There will never he any further fear
Of such exposure to disease and men
will not hereafter be deferred from vol
teering for fear of reputition of this
dreadful experience.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1898-08-25

The inordinate power of officers over
the men is the feature emphasized by
this war that will have the worst effect
in deterring privates from enlisting in
the future. Something will have to be
done to modify this power before there
will will be another rush for the ranks.
The! volunteers can't be treated the
same as regulars. The war has demon
strated this fact clearly.
For all these deterrent agencies, how
ever, we have not the least doubt but
that the country can always get all the
volunteer it wants when there is any
actual fighting to do, Chattanooga
