POLITICAL:
GOSSIP.
: :.
A Poor Showing By the
Democrats. Should
Turn Out to the
Reception.

Tho campaign thus far has been luke
warm one. The leaders Of both sides have
never before shown such an antipathy to
u campaign. The Democrats well know
they are following losing fight and they
have nearly given up the fight entirely and
concede that the Republicans will carry
everything in sight,
With united party the Republicans
will carry everything In sight in Della
ware and we'll tho Democrats know this
which more than accounts for their antipa.
thy in the present campaign.
The successor to Senator Gray will un.
doubleday be Republican. We care not
who he is so he is Delawarean. This is
the first duty that every Delaware Repub-
lican owes to himself and state. We have
more then enough ge2a and tried Dcla-
ware Republicans to iii every office with :
in the gift of tho people, No office need
go seeking for an incumbent. State pride
should have place In the bosom of every
Deawarean and We think the State could
and would DO as we'll represented in the
National Government as ut present or ever
has been within Its history.
The Lincoln Club having made arrange.
ments will give the Republican candidates
a reception this evening at their rooms,
No9O3 King street. Everybody is invited
and good time promised.
All OF the candidates will be present
and the voters will have m opportunity Of
making their acquaintance. Like the ark
there Is room far all who may enter in and
large crowd is expected.
The various county tickets which are to
DO printed upon the official ballots for the
next election were filed yesterday. Tho
lists of candidates nominated by the va
rlous state conventions were flled some
time ago Under the law the tickets must
DO filed complete twenty days before the
election
Thus far no Republican meetings have
boon advertised and there Is no likelihood
of such being held at least this week,
Tho Democrats have thus far held three
out door meetings and they have not been
only about halt attended by those who
generally take an interest in politics.
1t is hard to get up any enthusiasm and
if the leaders expect to awaken the voters
they will have to start in at once or there
will! be little if any use Of trying to got the

A new method of preserving wood

sap and injecting creosote or some

to superheated air, under pressure Of
