conservative thinkers. When we view
calmly the past. we find the crimes of
Kent and New Castle-the passage of
many unwholesome laws distasteful to
the people and many other matters
either of omission or commissioner
chief cause OF the general apathy so
manifestly displayed in the last cleo
ton. ....
The Republican party has done well,
but not better than might have been ex-
pected when all things are considered.
| We have elected the entire State ticket
and majority of the Legislature. This
is more than has been accomplished by
the Republican party of this State for
many years. We have, at times, had
control of the Legislature but not OF the
State. At other times we have had the
State but not the Legislaturezthis time
the Republican party has taken it all in.
All the trophies do not belong to this
State alone. Forty-two States held elec-
tions on Tuesday last, "a States went
Republican, IA States Democratic and 4
were carried by the fusionists. .--Necs

A blatant blackguard who figures
prominently in the Democracy of Kent
county, in the course of drunken
speech at Hartly, stated: "The Republi-
cans beat us in 1896, but we took the
election; they will beat us next Tuesday,
but - - we will take it again."
And this is the Democracy of Kent
that has just been strangled.-iS

Well, the ballot of the ballots has been
fougt and won by our opponents. 1t is
great disappointment to us, for it was
not expected that such revolution
should occur-nevertheless, it is
source of qualification, that while we feel
thoughtful over it and the other side re-
joices deep down in their boots, not one
word has been uttered in our hearing
from any one of our opponents that was
offensive or calculated to estrange the
friendship between man and man. We
have known it different in some other
places, but here, all who disagree with
us are considerate of our feelings, and we
concluded this community was made up
of gentlemen OF high sense of the pro-
priety of life. Milford Herald
