II the indiscreet language attributed to-
wards Robert 4. MOODY, the Democratic
candidate for sheriff, is true, then he will
lose several Democratic votes. Candidates
should DO careful what they say as every
thing will be used against them. But
then 1t makes little II any difference for
the next sheriff Of New Castle county will
be John E. Taylor He will have all the
way from one thousand to fifteen hundred
majority.
This Is going to be bad year for Demo-
Gratis in Delaware. There will be but one
Republican in the field and with full
register and a fair count tho result will be
moro than gratifying to the men who have
In season and out of season worked for the
success of the Republican party.
The manner In which the Democratic
party have opened their campaign be.
speaks luke warm one. Even the band
fails to stir up any enthusiasm among the
Wilmington democrats. The meetings
Of which there has thus for been two held
in our city. have failed to awaken the
faithful to the fact that hundreds of them
have not yet availed themselves of the op-
portunity Of getting registered so as to en-.
able them to vote in November q.
Congressman Handyis making the eff
fort of his life and appears thus far to be
the only available big gun in the campaign
on his side As an entertaining speaker
the Congressman is all right; but as to be-
ing adeep thinker and giving the people
anything new he Is a failure. His election
to Congress two years ago was mistake
which will not happen this year. The Re.
publicans are united and have but one
candidate for Congress, whereas they un-
fortunately had two candidates who were
voted for two yenrs ago
Our devil has handed us the following
poem on MIR. Handy:
Oh! Mr. Handy we've got you now
You can't get there on tho plow,
You are surely goner;
You foot your horn
But its no use,
The Toys have got good excuse
They'll not vote for you nohow.
The Every Evening suggests that the
only safe way to prevent Republican
from being elected to the Senate as the
outlook Of the Legislature becoming Re.
publican body is for voters irrespective Of
party, to vote for the Democratic candi-
date How thoughtful and kind. But how
about voting for General John p. Don ahoe
whom this paper stated should not 10
elected aud in fact rather endorsed Samuel
ID. Carter, instead. Mr.. Carter Is
Republican and a young and progressive
business man. Wo are sorry for Mr.. Car
tor as he would have stood much better
| chance of being elected if the paper had
been opposed to him. The fact remains to
be seen what the district Is anyhow. BY
knowing ones IL is.put down as q sure
Democratic district, taking in tho First
and Third wards and that part of the Fifth
ward lying south of and bounced by tho
central line of Eighth street, east Of and
bounded by the central line of Adams
street and west OF and bounded by tho
central limo Market street.
From man up tree who knows any
thing about Wilmington politics knows
that two of these wards are hope
lessly Democratic and the lower end OF the
Republican Fifth ward only helps to
| strengthen the Democratic majority.
1t is almost rs helplessly Democratic as
the Fifth district In which Mr.. Daniel F.
Stewart has allowed the use OF his name
for Representative.
Still some men think both Mr.. Carter
and Mr.. Stewart have o fighting chance
tor success We hope they have as it will
intelligent voters of these two districts.
