Great care is necessary in the selec-
tion Of the candidates. We believe that
Kent county is naturally Democratic,
and that the party candidates can be
elected in the county and in a majority
Of the districts. But, to assure this
happy result, the candidates must be
strong and uneXceptiOnable men,
With proper leadership and with the
best candidates who can be induced to
stand, we believe the party can make a
winning fight. But it will be no walk
over.-Dover Delawarean.
The heartless wretch who sent the
poison succeeded only too well in his or
her cruel design. Every heart in this
community has been touched. Every
one mourns with and mourns for that
stricken household. The father and the
mother, in their old age, rejoicing in
the presence and company Of their
children What a cruel shock to
them All hearts beat in warm SYM
pathy for them and for every member
Of that stricken household.-Mi Milton

If the Republicans Of the two lower
counties will act wisely and not let fac
tional prejudice get the control of their
better Judgment, if they will throw
aside all malice, selfishness and person
al ambition, if they will repudiate all
would-be bosses on both sides and act
together in a unit. there would be no
trouble in the future.-Milford News
and Advertiser.
The Republican party used to be
called, or rather it used to call itself,
the party of great moral ideas. The
picture presented by this same party in
the State Of Delaware, thwarting, or
endeavoring to thwart, every attempt
to purify the ballot is not edlfying. 1t
amounts to a confession that without
the corrupt use of money, the Republi-
cans are hopeless Of carrying the state.
Now Il may as well be understood by
our opponents first as last, that the law
against bribery is going to be enforced.
