New Issues.

From the utterances which came
up from the Democratic party in
different sections of the country
last week, it looks, as though new
issue is asserting itself. which for
the present viii eclipse everything

REPUBLICAN BLUFF CALLED.

Democrats Put mp $1,000 on the Election
OF q. G. montgomery. nut Their Bet Ia
Nor Taken.
Yesterday morning the bluff made by a
syndicate of Republicans through
Frank ID. Lackey was called down very
promptly through a prominent Demo-
crat Of this city who was acting for a
syndicate.
The affair took place at Mr..
Lackey's Office and according to
an agreement made by the latter
with the Democrat on Monday
last. When they met on Monday Mr..
Lacbey offered to wager for some Re-
publicans 81, 900 that Delaware Clark,
the Republican nominee for the Office
of recorder of deeds, would defeat
CORTLAND @. Montgomery, the nominee
of the Democratic party.
At that time the Democrat asked
that he be given day to look into the
matter of securing the stipulated sum.
According to the appointment, he went
to the Office yesterday at 10 O'Clock
and placing certified check for 81, 900
on the desk told Mr.. Lackey that he
had come as per agreement and desired
to place the check on, the bet offered by
MIR. Lackey and also stated that there
was more to come from the same syndi
cate to back up the money on the desk.
When the offer was made MIR. Lackey
withdrew the bet and it was declared
off. Mr.. Lackey stated that he was
afraid that he and the other Republi-
cans interested might lose their votes

ECHO Is OF TIE WAR.

A dispatch from Washington says the
administration has satisfied itself that
Spain is neither able nor willing to re-
sumo hostilities on any scale that
would make her dangerous opponent
to the United States. Therefore, sup.
posing the Paris conference to fail, all
that would be imposed upon our govern
ment as an Immediate duty would be
to take complete military possession OF
the Philippines.
A majority of the cabinet members
believe the Spaniards will accept the
terms laid down by tho United States,
and that whatever delay occurs before
that result is reached will be charge
able to the purpose Of tho Spaniards to
secure tho best possible terms.
In the peace negotiations it is stated
that the United States will insist upon
being fully reimbursed for every dollar
eypended on account Of tho war, and
in the statement will be included an
amount sufficient to cover all payments,
present and prospective, on account OF
pensions incident to the war.

from Wei-Hai- Wei, announcing the
war preparations of the British naval

being of grave Importance, coupled
with the Anglo-Frenoh war pvepara-

between Great Britain and France, has
decided to push forward her aims in
the far East by forcibly seizing the
valuable treaty port of Niu Ohwang,
which Great Britain cannot permit, 1t

NO PEACE OFFICERS NEEDED.
Manly Proposition ofthe democratic COUNTY
Committee TO tho Eepu bltcnn omnittseH

Manly Proposition OF the Democratic County
Committee to tho Republican Committees.
The New Castle county Democratic
committee has put itself on record as
being unalterably opposed TO availing
itself of the privilege of appointing
peace officers to stand at tho entrances
to the polling places on election day.
1t has been the general sentiment
among the committeeman all along that
it was not necessary to have such
officers and as the law appears to give
tho committees discretionary. power, at
the meeting of the Democratic conf
mittee yesterday afternoon formal
action in the matter was taken and it
was decided to ask the Republican
committees to take similar action.
Tho belief was expressed that the
election will BIO orderly and it was
deemed unwise to have these officers
appointed and saddle the additional ex-
pense upon the county. As result of
the action Of tho committee the follow
ing letter was sent to the Republican
committees, copies going to Chairman
Hugh G.. Browne OF the Republican
State committee and Chairman Daniel
F. Stewart of the Republican county
executive committee:
November LIST, 1898.
To Hugh G. Browne, Esq, Chairman
Republican State Committee, and
Daniel +. Stewart, ESQ.,, Chairman
Republican County Executive Com
mittee. N#
Dear Sirs AS is of course known to
you, it is provided by section 6, chapter
396, Volume 20 of the Laws of Della
ware, that the Democratic and Repub-
lican County Committees may each
designate a peace officer to stand at
the different polling places, to prevent
disorders. This power to appoint is,
by the language OF the Statute, within
| the discretion of the committees, and
the intent and spirit of the law would
seem to be, that the county committees
should exercise this appointing power
only when rioting and violence seem to
| threaten at the polls. Believing that
| the registered voters of our county are
all prepared to cast their ballots or
November the Sth, in a quiet and
orderly manner, and that there will be
no intimidation or breaches of the
peace on that day, but that every quail
fed voter will be able, without inter
| ference, to exercise the right of suf
rage, we feel that we should not burder
the county with the expense of sucf
an unnecessary body of special officers
and we ask your committee to joir
with us in an agreement not to max,
any such appointments. We woult
request the favor of an early answer
/ Very truly yours,
Democratic County Committee of New
| Castle County,
