enterprise and prosperity than Ozark,

THE honest Democracy of Delaware
does not advocate Bryan or Bryanism.
On the contrary the honest Democracy
of Delaware repudiated William Jen.
nings Bryan and will continue to re-
pudiate such fallacies as he advocates at
the present time.
This free silver heresy together with
the disreputable and corrupt leaders OF
the Democratic party, has thoroug hly
disorganized and wrecked the organiza-
tien in this State.
Silver and gold Democrats are at sea,
yet the latter not so far as the former,
for they have still with them the grand
presence of leader, George Gray, upon
whom the reorganization OF the party
falls.
Senator Gray is absent. Immediate
action is necessary. 1t is understood
that Richard Croker, Of New York, will
shortly come into Delaware and here
prepare the ground for reorganization by
advocating the discardng of Bryan, the
discountenance OF free silver, repudia-
tion of the forty-cent dollar, abandon.

lined platform.

which is now in circulation.
The certificate is of the series OF 1891,

wonder that it passed through the hands
of experts without detection.

printed on two pieces Of paper, between
which few raveled silk fibres have
been distributed.
&The face of the note is nearly three
eighths of an inch shorter than the
genuine, and a full eighth of an incl,
narrower. The panel in which the po,-
trait appears is full eighth of an incl,
narrower in the counterfeit than in the

The shading in small perpendicular
lines under the ornamental scroll form

One OF the youngest sportsmen Of Del.

John has been noted as skillful marks

favors of any one.
Mr.. IcVey was busy last night load

proper care, as John is particularly care.

He shoots Johns gun sometimes, but it

arms have not the strength to support it.

TIE most enterprising merchant in a
city is generally the man sought by
large concerns requiring local representa-
tiyes. The most enterprising merchant
is invariably the largest advertiser. This
recognition as 'the most enterprising
merchant in town." or 'the leading
merchant in the city," or "the most sue
cessful dealer in the place. is a valuable
asset. 1t gives this man increased credit
abroad and added importance at home.
The reputation of being 'the heaviest
advertiser in town. is now very general
~ accepted by the public as indicating
the possession Of large capital. This may
not always be the case, but in estimat-
ing the financial condition of man the
fact of his doing considerable advertis-
ing, and, necessarily, considerable
business, are universally regarded as
points in his favor. This is only one OF
the many usually unconsidered trihes
that go to make liberal, well-planned
advertising a profitable investment.
