Corruption in Delaware Politics.

The proposition of the Regulars"
to control or dictate large part of the
Republican ticket of Kent county, is
part of the history of the present cam
paign, G. M. Mensch, the chairman,
making the following statement in the
papers:
Our request has been unanimously
rejected, and why? Because they
would not pledge themselves not to sup
port Mr.. J. Edward Addicks, the gen
tleman CD who has done more to de-
bauch the voters in Delaware than any
other man, the gentleman CD that
caused Delaware to be without a Re-
publican United States Senator when
he declared it shall be Addicks or no
body; whose money has appealed to
the soft heads and itching palms of
many men who to-day are his hench-
men.
A writer in the Milford Chronicle,
who knows Mr.. Mensch, and that he
sought a place on the Republican tick
ct on the Representative branch, in
1894, and used Mr.. Addicks' money
to get elected, and did not object when
he was to be the beneficiary, has the
| following to say to him:
How long has this man Mensch been
Delaware Republican, that he takes
up this Democratic howl about ode
bauchery?"
Does he not know that it was because
of Democratic ebauchery-vote buy
lng-that the Republican party for
years was a nOnentity. Does he not
know that in 1888 it was Democrats
buying" votes against Democrats
that elected the Legislature which
made Higgins Senator? Does he not
know that IN 1887 an entire County
Convention was bought in Sussex
county for $4,000? Does he not know
that voters were bought like sheep in
the shambles for a generation before
the Republican party of Delaware zap
pealed" to Mr.. Addicks to come to
their aid?
Does he not know that until Mr..
Addicks entered the lists, the Repub-
iican party of Delaware was really not
a factor in the political affairs of Della
ware; that they were disfranchised, de-
frauded, brow beaten and robbed of
their rights?
If he knows these things, he is will
fully misrepresenting facts. If he
does not know them, he had better
study up on Delaware politics before
he calls honest Republicans names, and
hurls epithets at men who believe in
standing by that Republican party
which aims solely at the defeat of De
mocracy and fraud in Delaware.
There is an old saving about 'letting g
the dead bury the dead" and if the
past cannot be forgotten, all can take
comfort in the fact that we are now
governed bya New Constitution.

Files Carry Typhoid.

The medical commission appointed
to investigate the cause of so much
typhoid fever at various army camps,
has visited Jacksonville, Huntsville,
Fernandina and Chicamauga. Every
where they met typhoid fever and
found it spreading. They also found
'fies" were in every camp by the mil
lions. They declare that the flies fed
off the fecal matter from the hospitals
and carried typhoid fever germs on
their legs. Then at meal time they
alighted ON the food of the soldiers,
deposited their fever germs on the
food and the soldiers then are rendered
certain victims.
The commissioners declare the mos
positive proof is overwhelming in sup
port of their diagnosis. Their recon-
mendation made is for disinfectine
the sinks and killing the germs so th'
flies cannot carry poison away.

FREDERIC DOUGLASS.

The name and remarkable career of
Frederick Douglass were again remem-
bered and honored in Rochester last
week.
The addresses by Hon. John G.
Dancy, John H. Smyth, ex-minister to
Liberia, and Charles P. Lee, and the
poem by T. Thomas Fortune, of New
York, admirably exhibited the great
character and services to humanity as
we'll as to his race of that heroic and
eloquent man who for so many years
was the champion of his people and
the herald of liberty to the enslaved.
Rochester was long the home of
Douglass. He found here among the
best and bravest of our citizenship
sympathy and aid in his work, both as
an orator and an editor, of preparing
the way for the final overthrow of slav-
cry. Though for a long time before
his death his home was in Washington
yet he never forgot or grew cold in his
love for the fair city of the Genessee; ;
and when thoughts of the end came to
him in the eventide of his life, they
were associated with the desire that
his body might rest at last upon the
emerald slopes of Mt. Hope almost
within sight of the old home where he
lived in the days of his stalwart prime.
1t was eminently fitting, therefore,
that in Rochester should be raised a
monument to his memory, which shall
also recall to this generation. and to
those who shall followit, the glory of a
strenuous era which could command
the lifelong devotion of genius such
as his and that of the great men with
whom he was associated during those
long years of struggle. 1t is worthy
of notice in this connection that this
monument to a member of the negro
race will be the first one raised in
honor of any individual in this city
outside of the boundaries of our Gem.
etaries.
Frederick Douglass, by his sterling
and robust character, by his noble and
successful efforts to overcome the
crushing disabilities of his birth and
childhood, by his changeless devotion
to the freedom and we'll being of &
race, by the majesty and grace of hi:
personality, and by the superb, mas
terful Oratory which uniquely distin
guished him above all but few orators
white or black, which this country ha
ever possessed, deserves to be remem
bered and honored through all coming
time. He was slave by birth, but be
came a master by endowment and cul
ture. His inherent manliness carrie,
him not only out of the house of bon
dage, but into that high and selec
circle of noble spirits who triumph
over all obstacles and stand conspic
uous in the sunshine of immortal fame
So long as the story of that grea
Civil War shall be rehearsed upon tn
pages of history, so long will the nam
of Douglass be remembered an
praised. .-DemOcrGt and Chronicle.

CUBAN OCCUPATION.
President Unwilling to Send Troops to the
Island Yet.

The President has been deeply i'm
pressed by the various representations
that have been made to him within the
last few days in regard to the desir-
ability of postponing the military oc-
cupatlon of Cuba. 1t has been set
forth that the regular troops on ac-
count of their hard campaign in San
tlago are in no condition to perform
even garrison duty in Cuba during the
rainy season. General Miles is the
leading advocate of postponement on
account of the condition of the troops.
and persons who have recently been
IN Cuba have told the President about
the unhealthfulness of the season.
AS a result of these influences the
President has said that the general
garrisoning of the island shall be post
pOned as long as possible. How long
this postpOnement will be is uncer-
tain, for it depends upon the arrange
ments for evacuation which may be
brought about by the Havana Military
Commission.
1t is not probable that Maior-G Gen
eral Fitzhugh Lee will be the COM
manding general of the garrison
forces in Cuba, although he will un-
questiOnably be assigned to an import
ant command. The opinion prevails
in the War Department that the chief
command will be given to major.
general of the regular army. The Of
ticer most prominently mentioned for
the place is Major General James f.
Wade, who is regarded as pre-emi-
nently qualified for the place. 1t is
proposed to allow General Lee to com
mand his corps in Cuba, which will be
an assignment superior even to that
of Major General Joseph Wheeler,
who is to command the cavalry divis-
ion.
