The Democratic state convention OF
1898 has come and gone and its work
cannot but have the unqualified en-
dorsement OF every Democrat and loyal
citizen OF the state. Made up OF men
representing the best interest Of the
people Of the state its work could not
be but Of the highest class.-Milford
Herald.
The platform adopted is one on
which all Democrats can stand. 1t bris-
ties with truths, and is a document
that every Democrat in the state should
carefully peruse. The full text will be
found in another page. Altogether,
we repeat, the state campaign opens
auspiciously, and we predict that
rousing old-time Democratic victory
awaits us this Fall.-Sussex Countian.
The Democratic press Of the state is
solidly for the Democratic ticket. This
was not so in the last two campaigns.

has duty to perform without regard
to party, and that duty is to help in
stamping out bribery at elections. 1t is
duty that belongs to every honest
man. 1t is a glorious work and every
man is able to take a part in 1t II he
has the will to do so. Don't stop to

you catch him at the dirty business OF
buying votes, give in his name. There
is plenty Of law to punish him.-Dela-
ware Pilot.

appointment will very much strengthen

be proud OF the distinction conferred
upon one of her sons.-Delaware Demo
