1t Is said that Harry Bllany will bs the
next assistant postmaster although Geo.
Hollis has his eye on the position. Either
ono OF these gentlemen would make Il cap
able and efficient officer, But there Is one
thing certain lhore will bo no assistant
postmaster until the new postmaster has
been named.
1t is too bad that one family Ike the
Republican party can't agres and live In
harmony. Tho holding Of two Republican
conventions In Dover on two different days
cannot according to onr way Of thinking
help matters in the Republican party. A
house divided against Itself can no5 help
but fall. So with tho Republican party, II
1t Is divided there can only bs one result
on tho day of election victory for the
Democratic ticket and the same old chest
nut to be given out to the tired olt Repub-
lioans voters as the cause.
Let the people apply tho remedy, 1t Is In
their hands No man or set Of meu oan dio.
tate to the masses. Those whom the peo-
plo will destroy are tho onos who make
them mad.
1t Is essential that every Republican secs
to 1t that be gets registered and thus puts
himself In position to vote Oh the day of
the election.
The new registration Law has sot the
politicians and candidates for office to
thinking. They have run up against II nav
condition In politics. They are at sea.
Doodle will hereafter cut no figure In
nomination elections. Tho FOUNDERS and
fellows who have posed US having pull
have lost their vocation. and fortunate for
the candidates it will not require the
Doodle that 1t has In years past 10 secure
Il nomination. An active canvass will
have to be made personally by tho candi-
dates, the voters being made acquainted
with tho men who solicit their suffrage.
You can tell anybody whom you wish
that it is to their interest to go and ge,

WAS tho I.cces ,ity so apparent to tho writer
of these notes as The present time. Tho
fact thst 1t requires 81 to got registered
sh ouid not deter a voter from losing his
franchise. You can make up your minds
to one thing and that is that II you expect
to vote again in Delaware you will have
to pay the registration fee aud conform to
the law.
The coloret votors should not loso sight
of the fact that they were the men whom
this law was aimed at, thinking by the men
who franled 1t that they woul not take
enough interest in the matter 1t required
to rogistsr to qualify themselves SO that
they could vote. They should refuto this
ldea and lot the Democrats see who passed
this law that they are not so easily cheated
out of their right to vote There Is not ono

Hugh G. Brownies namo is still being

From tho news that came from Dover
