cans of Kent county have offered to
compromise the tickets of the two par
ties so as to have but one ticket in
Kent county. The Union Republicans
have replied to the offer by saying:
Your proposition has been unani-
mously rejected" This may be the
''ultimatum," but il will not end the de-
sire that is felt by nine-tenths Of the
voters of both parties for harmony

The result of the election in Novem-
Der depends upon the work OF the
Democratic convention to be held in
Georgetown on Tuesday. If the candi-
dates nominated are representative
men, competent and respected, they
will receive the support of the Demo-
cratic voters and of many good citizens
who cannot conscientiously vote for the
Rominees Of the Republican party

expeditions manner in which they pass
ed upon fifty bills in two and a-half
days, was unprecedented and they were
then discharged from further attend
ance at court. The members of the
grand jury being business men, helped
to facilitate the bills before them and
called forth the compliment they de-
served from the court. Business men

Let every Democrat feel that the re-
sponsibility is his alone and work with
that energy that he would bring to his
own affairs-the affairs of his state and
the welfare of its people should be
dearer to him than his own success. The
good name of Delaware and the free
dom Of it's people are priceless and
never can it's people fully appreciate
what a heritage they have, until once
il has been lost to them, and they are
placed in the hands, and under the con-
troll of an adventurer and those who for
pay work his bidding News.
In the Third legislative district the
possible nomination. of w. Scott Yer
non is an insult to the intelligence of
the residents Of that section. No COM
bination of circumstances could justify
the nomination of this man for any Of
fice by any party He is an impossible
proposition.-Wi Sun.
John Walter Smith is not only a true
and tried Democrat, but he is strictly a
bimetalist-that which the great mass
Of Democrats believe in and have for
years been contending for. Wilbur
jackson, his opponent, was Democrat
up to a few years ago and held office
as such. He is now a Republican and
single gold standard" advocate
which means low prices and hard
times. -Kent News.
