Some Of the Republican papers OF the
State are indulging in considerable con-
graduation over the alleged coming
together OF the two factions Of their
party. They base their assumption
upon the fact that ths two wings have
agreed upon the names to bs proposed
for Republican members Of the boards
Of repatriation.
In the city Of Wilmington, the First
district committee of each faction con-
ferIed together and sRrsod upon une sat
of names, but the names 80 selected
were certified twice to the Department
of Elections. Ono certificate, signed
by Chairman Horace Greeley Knowles
and Secretary Joseph Wigglesworth Of
the Regular committee stated that
this committee "is the committee and
governing authority having exclusive
control and management of the affairs
and concerns of the Republican party -
10 said First district. The other Ger
.tiiicate, attested by Chairman Stephen
Downey and Secretary Howard l..
Stats Of the Union committee, averred
The said First district committee ia
the committee and governing authority,
having the exclusive control and man
hgement Of the niihirs and concerns OF
said Union Republican party in the
city of Wilmington, in said State, and is
the only committee. governing authority
or body having power ana authority 10
select and certify names.'' &c.
Here, We sec, ia tho same old claim
of regularity and authority made by
each of the committees. They have not
como together. The two organizations
still remain. They have agreed upon a
set OF names, but each committee in
sisted upon certifying these names to
tae Department of Elections, and, the
latter will have to deisrmine which
certification it will acGept-in effect,
which faction it will recognizes as the
regular organization of the party.
Something more ia needed before the
two Republican factions get together. -
There must be ar agreement with
respect to the United States Senator
ship, and no agreement that does not
contemplate J. Edward Addicks for
Senator. in the event of a Republican
majority in the next Legislature, will
prove acceptable to the Union faction.
The two factions may consent to such
Nd agreement, but it will be another
matter when it comes to securing its
ratification by the people.

All the legislation of the paat ten
years or nnro with respect to the hold
ing of elections in Delaware has been
In the direction of securing a pure and
honest ballot. The old SYSTEM of cleo
tions was changed from time to time.
until the result was the A australian
system, with its official ballots, private
booths for voters TO retire to in tho
preparation of their tickets, small polling
places, provisions for keeping crowd, at
distance, and other police arrange.
ments for securing quiet and peacoabls
elections.
All theae provisions were received
with general satisfaction, although the
safeguards against corruption of suffrage
were boldly disregarded by lawIeas
politicians, hut this led to the insertion
10 our new Constitution of severe
penalties against such practices, which
gives reason to hope that election
roguery in this State may effeotually
be rerreBsed. And there is but one
thing that stands in the way.
This obstruction to honest elections
is the Ballot law enacted by the last
Legislature. 1t opens the door to an in
sidioua. means of fraud and corruption
BY doing away with the official ballot,
and permitting the promiscuous print
ing OF single tickete. This would fur
nish corrupt politicians with shrewd
and reasonably safe means of buying
votes.
Governor Tunnel has this unwise
and undesirable bill under conisdera-
tion. 1t is opposed by the best sonti,
ment of the State, and tho Governor
will do we'll to veto 1t.

War times always dsvelop great
soldiers among those ''wh0 never set a
squadron in the fisld, or aught of line
of battle know" and the present is no
exception. There are plenty of men at
home who can give points to Dewey,
Schley and Sampson, and teach General
Miles more about soldering than he
has learned in his years of active OK
perience. Naturally, with so much
talent lying around loose, there is great
criticism by the stay at homes Of the
management of war operations Most
OF it is mere rot, but some is pertinent.
The criticism that points to ths alleged
inelliciency of the commissary depart
ment seems deserved, no matter how
eaussless the rest may be. Surely,
a country so abounding as this in staple
food products ought to be atle to feed
its soldiers without the slightest
trouble, even if it is forced to be slow
in equipping them. That any man in
our camps at present should suf!er for
food ia little short of disgracsful.

that all save two of the defendants in

Golden Ruls millinery Opening.

Scores of beautiful hats, and a maze of
decorations white and yellow, yellow
ranging all the way from the lightest
shades to the deep rich burnt orange
now in vogue. greeted the eyes of the
numerous visitors at the Golden Rule
millinery opening today. The display,
arranged by Miss Shepherd late of St.
Louis, was beautiful one, which in addi.
ton to combining all the latest popular
shades and hues, exhibited an artistic
taste rarely equalled. Styles in hats are
born of freaks and fancies, and to prop
erly follow the popular styles and at the
same time secure pleasing results
involves no little ability. This however
Miss Shepherd has succeeded in doing.
The compartment of the Golden Rule
devoted to millinery was crowded with
ladies all day and numerous sales were
made from the patterns exhibited. Palms
and cut flowers were used in decorating
the rooms, and dressed figure display
ing the latest styles in hats ETC., attracted
much attention. The opening was an
especially successful one.
