at TINS Time, an unlniprneu pupic
might presume that the Republican
party Of Delaware was not only the
"party OF moral IDEAS but the en-
bodiment Of all that Is pure and honest
and righteous in this world; while the
Democratic party of Delaware is the
very personification of trickery, dis
honesty and theft. But such is not the |
fact.
We do. not pretend to admit that !
either party is immaculate. Far. from
it. But neither does any one party
possess all Of the political virtues ex-
tant.
Just under which party's auspices
the evil of vote buying began in Della
ware it is impossible to say, but tradi-
tion gives the credit, or rather dis
credit, to the old Wing party. But no
one needs to be informed under the
auspices of which party itsgrew to its
recent appalling proportions, until

In an. interview with the New York
World, Charles Emory Smith, Post
master General in President McKin
ley's cabinet, makes some very import
ant statements. He is thus reported:
1.-THE will Of the people, as OK
pressed in tho recent elections, has in
my Judgment imposed n greater respon-
sibility upon the Republican party
than has confronted it at any time
since tho Civil War. ustl

why tho Democrat. We're Defeated.

In referring to the defeat of the
Democratic party of Delaware at the
election of Tuesday week, the Dover
Delawarean says:
Probably all will agree that for years
rast the personal burdens of many who
have claimed to be leaders of Democ-
racy have been unjustly and most sell
fishly heaped upon the shoulders of our
party. The party has been compelled to
bear loads which proper leaders would
have refused to permit it to carry.
Cripples have crept for protection
under the political mantle Of Democ-
racy, and some of her honored sons
have advised that she should stand
sponsor for them and bear the burden
of individual sins or blunders, and the
whole Democratic family has unjustly
suffered in good name and repute.
The cause here guardedly alluded to
ind we may hereafter be more specific
and definite, has produced in many of
,he best Democrats who are not poll
.;icians feelings of apathy and disgust
in political matters, which could not
but be reflected at the polls.
A feeling of hopelessness as to bet
tering the political conditions of the
party has pervaded all ranks and dis
credited even the earnest efforts at po-
litical organization and rehabilitation
which some who were not hopeless con.
tinued TO exert. The rank and filC
must have confidence in the ability

and leaders, or campaigns will be fail
ures and end in defeat
We hope the hard lesson of 1898 viii
not be lost upon our party.
Only one cause is here mentioned
We can, and maybe will, call to on
readers attention, in series of arti
Giles, the salient points of Democratic
history in Delaware for the past scor
Of years, and, il need be, give sue
names and dates as proper surgical
treatment requires. What we sha
first endeayor to accomplish is to la
before our people, from time TO time
the causes Of this Democratic disaster
then to consider the possible remedjt
for existing conditions, and, finall,

cratic well-being and success.

attempts to make reparation for past
shortcomings by the nomination, IN
the main, OF excellent candidates Tor
the offices to be filed, is a fact appar-
ept to all men. 1t is also act that
the registration in New Castle county
showed on its face a reasonable
Democratic plurality, and the party
suffered no, more from the Single Tax
vote than it did two years ago; in the
city of Wilmington, not as much SO.
Manifestly, therefore, the Democratic
party at this end Of the State was
beaten by its own voters as a rebuke
for its own sins, and plenty Of evidences
have developed since the election to
prove the truth of this contention.
But there is another feature of the
election which attracts more than q
passing notice. and that Is the large
proportion of the Republican party
that is comprised in the negro vote.
The classification of the registration

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE final
trials for the Suburban handicap, which
will be run at Sheepshead bay tomor-
row, took place last evening.
Ornament, the winner of the Brook
Ign, who carries the top weight and
who has one of the strongest follow
lngs ever a horse had, was out in good
form, and moved mile and quarter
in racing shape, going to the quarter in
:2lA and finishing the full distance in
2:OsA - ~ 40
Ben Holiday, with his weight I'D,
covered the Suburban distance in 2aOI4.
Imp, the Western mare who, on
Wednesday last, with 113 pounds I'D,
easily ran Havoc into the ground, has a
lot of supporters for a place at the end
She has shown that She can go the
distance without trouble, and in the
trials galloped a mile and a furlong in
1 81.
Havoc ran the mile and quarter in
2:13
Bromley & Co.'S semper Ego won the
second race at Gravesend yesterday so
easily that he Will probably start in
the Suburban. The time was fast and
it was the best he ever ran
On Deck is not likely to be seen in
the Suburban, but Bromby & Co. may
start both Typhoon and Semper Ego,
with Taral on Typhoon. Senlper Ego's
weight in the Suburban Is only 113
pounds. Taral cannot reach such a
weight. Semper Ego had 1913 pounds
up at Gravesend. With the less weight
he may scud.
Marcus Days Isidor, who was third
to Semper Ego, is in the Suburban, but
his work is not encouraging.
j. E. Seagram said that he would
start both Havoc and Tragedian.
Tragedian's Suburban weight Is 1875. He
is a handicap horse r ofsnconsiderable

Ben Elder is in the Suburban, but he
was last at Gravesend. and is anything

but had only ITO pounds upl
FINE DAY PROMISED.
Unless all signs fail the chances for
fine day for the great suburban handi-
cap are excellent The number Of en-
tries as 1t now stands, is fourteen, and
1t is safe to say that at least dozen
will go to the post with Ornament, with
the weight Of 131 pounds. and on his

is likely to be favorite. Most of the
horses entered had their final work yes

The Millers were saved an awful killing
at the hands Of the Tigers yesterday at Mic

rain. The game was called in the last half
of the seventh. when five of the visitors had
been put over the plate and but one Miller
had got even to third base.

ance of last week. when but two hits were
made off him in six innings. He started we'll

do as much as the batters who preceded
him. but he drew one on hit and stole Sec
ond. Hines got four bad ones. Cook then
drew himself somewhat together. and aided
by the darkness. struck out Sharpe and
Twineham. When the smoise cleared away
it was found that three men had crossed the
plate. Two hits were made off him in the
seventh when the rain was falling heavily
and two men died on bases.
Thomas pitched good game. 1t was
case of one, two, three with the Millers, ex-
cept in the third, when Ritter got dinky

fifth for two bases. and stole third. Dixon

EXCITING CONTESTS IN THE
FINALS AT PHILADELPHIA
Championship ard the Wissa-

PIucky Miss Marion Jones,
Daughter of the Well known Ne
vada Senator-Other Winners.

PHILADELPHIA, Jure IT, Miss
Juliette Atkinson, Of the Ladies' club,
CT the Staten Island Athletic club, this
afternoon again won the lawn tennis
championship of the United States by
defeat1ng Miss Marion Jones, of the
southern California Lawn Tennis asso-
cation, and daughter of United States
Senator Jones, of Nevada.
This is the third time Miss Atkinson
mas Won the lawn tennis championship.
Inc Wlssahickon special cup now be-
comes her personal property. The cup
has been in dispute for twelve years.
The match today was one of the most
exciting ever seen here. 1t took five
sets to decide it. The contestants were
very evenly matched, but experience
and endurance told. Miss Atkinson was
much the stronger at the end of the
third set and played faster. Both play
ed good game throughout. Miss Jones
defeat is largely due to physical weak
ness after the second set
In the first set Miss Atkinson was an
easy winner, but the second one was
full Of brilliant playing, Miss Jones
winning by seven games to five.
The third set was very fast, and the
pace began to telIGpon the stocky little
girl from the~West. Miss Atkinson's
score was five games to one for Miss
Jones, when the latter took a brace and
scored three in succession. The cham
plon, however, beat her out by some
beautifully played strokes
Miss Jones started out with r,,sh
In the fourth set and in a short time
had five games to her credit before
Miss Atkinson won any. There was
nothing particularly brilliant in this
set and Miss Jones won it easily.
The final set was the longest Of all.
Five times during this set Miss Jones
was only one point from the match
and the championship, but Miss Akin
son tied her and beat her out each time
FAST WORK.
In the ninth game of the set a bril-
liant rally took place, which was spoil
ed by the ball in play hitting a ball in
Miss Jones corner. In that game Miss
Jones needed but one point to win, and
her supporters groaned as the chance
faded away. The score stood four
games to three in favor of Miss Jones
Miss Atkinson then won the next four
games and the match by fast playing
Miss c. B. Neeley, OF Chicago, and E.
z. Fischer, of New York, won the ma
tional championship in the mixed
doubles by clever work. Their oppo-
nents were Miss Helen Chapman and

tween Misses Kathleen and Juliette At
