that the Regular kspu hlicans and Demo
Gratis are strengthening their forces in
order to deleat j. Edward Addicks.
1t ~as stated On good authority yester'
day afternoon that the deal by which
tile drnands Of the administration fol
the return Of Hon.. George Grav to he
United States Senate had been effected
How this was consummated and on " hal
basis is unknown, but it is fully expected
shat the Regulars and Delnoerats will
stand together in the next General AS
senby on all legislative matters.
Be this az it may the fact remains that
they have merged against their common
enemy, the Union Republicans, aud
There is no doubt but that he coming
election for United States Senator will bt
prolonged one for the reason t'at the
Regulars will not show their hand unti
after three s0r four ballots have beel
taken. M.n. u.....
They are we'll aware Of the strength ol
J. Edward Addicks and state positively
that no caucus will be held.
Whether this be true or not the indi
cations are that even if caucus was held
and Mr. Addicks had the strength he is
supp 'sed to have, the Regulars would
bolt the caucus uAder soine pretense and
CLAIM after this that their hands llau no,
bten tied while in caucus.
The situation is u decidedly interest
ing one at this time and the result Ii
awai. ed by all politicians irrespective OF
party affiliations.
The senatorial atmosphere is not i'll
any sense clarlf d by the declaration oI
DR.. Geulge W. Marshall that he is not a
candidate for the United States Senator

the situation, and no one knew that b,
Wa and date until he declared that h,
was not. We believe that tins stalelnen

late election "a culored victory" If it is
any satisfaction to them, we will offer no

Delaware is not in the same latitude with
the Carolinas, although it would be a

In the State Of Delaware about one
fifth OF the entire popu alton is black.
In Kent and Sussex one-fourth as a
rough estimate, but Of course in sont
locaIitles this ratio will a.most be re.
versed. One fourth OF the white popu.
lalion OF Kent and Sussex united witt
the colored population administers gov.
ernnent by virtue of the recent election
The culo'ed population, however, is yet
passive and without voice, SO that prac
tically one fourth Of the people here are
in control. One-fourth OF the prol ty
and intelligence OF the community over
balances three-fourths, and tile TN
na ural condition is alarming.
There is not a atllonghtiuI person whoss
vieage will not darken as he looks int,
the lnture OF poor Delaware today. Il,
does not knoW at what time this blacl
laWless clement may shake off it,
ietl,argy and with the aid Of schemin,
white men lay waste our civilization
At this moment they are contending /.
States south of us with conditions which
now loom up before us.
Never since time began has the whit
man bundcred in dealing with a vassa
race as we have done. From their vic
and degradation they emerged in da
with the ballot in hand. Without edu
cation or preparation for the new spher
their ridiculous situation was without
parallel For twenty-five years the
have cast ballots not one of which the
comprehend or could read. Such a fare
history does not mention, but the wors
is probably not yet. In some darKe
hour the experiment Of government ao
mlnistered by two separate races wi

Many explanations are now bein
made III various parts of the Stale OF tn
defeat Of the Democratic party in Del;
ware at the last election. Dissatisfactio
and the lack of organization may hav
been the causes in some localities, bu
no such conditions existed in Due
Creek hundred. Here the Democrat
had fairly good organization and tn
Sound Money Democrats voted the ticke
4uIidIy. Demo, rats labored hard to ur
hold tie provisions Of the Constitute
against corrupted suffrage, and did nc
use a dollar either at the registration c
election, to corrupt voters. This brougll
to their support the independent vote {
the hundred, bot still they were beate
by 81, instead of carrying the hundre
hy good majority, as they had ever
reason to expect.
The trouble was with the venal voters
and here is Where the Union Republ
cans g in their work. They used NOR
money for the corruption Of voters thi
year than was ever used before. Me
who never before sold their votes wer
bought this year. They added perjur
to their crime, also, for they were cha
lenged and took the oath that they ha
not been corrupted. AS result, no ma,
