people, during his two years in Congress.
Mr.. Handy's course deserves endorse
ment and we believe it will be endorsed
by his return to Congress and We urge
ali men OF the Democratic faith to spare
no labor in making Mr.. Handy's elec-
ton sure. Vote and work for Handy,
Ross, Bishop and the whole Democratic
ticket. Its success means your and every
mans betterment. .--Seatord Neus.
The political feeling in Delaw are to-
day is serious. Thoughtful men should
urge moderation and right and law and
Justice. Charges are made by partisan
papers that to-day attempts will be made
to take undue advantages through regis
tration. This may or may not be true,
but every patriot OF every party should
set his face against it, Every guilty man
should be made TO suffer. One of the
most serious conditions is the apparent
Indifference. disgust, of good men of
both parties because of dishonesty, brib.
cry, trickery. The writer has not the
strength, having been i'll recently, to en-
large upon these matters, but he believes
if ever Delawareans should do their
political duty, stamping with their votes
the efforts to dshonor the State, il
should be on NOvamber Sth next. The
anchor OF hope is the new Constitution.

Some of our Republican contempora-
res assert that the Democrats have
given up the election OF their State
ticket, and will confine themselves to
battling for tie success of the county
ticket. We do not know where this idea
originated, but we fail to see what foun
dation there can be for it. The only thing
that could in any way give rise to such a
notion is the unanimity with which
every Democrat and not few Republi-
cans demand the defeat OF Addicks for
the United States Senate. This does not
mean that the Democrats do not expect
to elect the balance of the ticket, and are
not contesting every inch Of ground. 1t
does mean, that in the face of common
danger all good men should endeavor
to unite for the common good. The State
ticket has nothing to do with the Sena.
torship, but all Democrats are united in
support of it, and we feel assured of its
election. if Democrats will but do their
duty at the election. The ticket is
worthy the support OF all Democrats,
and it is folly to speak of its election
having been given up. OF course, the
wish is father to the thought with the
Republicans, but when election day does
come they will find that their opponents
have not been idle. Two weeks from
next Tuesday will end the conflict, but
to-day all who have not done SO must
prepare themselves for it. The Demo-
Gratis of to-day, as in times past, will
fight till the last for the whole ticket and
not for any particular part. 1t is this
that has rendered them almost invincible
heretofore, and it will cause them to be
successful also at the present time
DelaWure Democrat.
Monday last, October II, 1898, was
notable day in Kent county for more
reasons than one. Besides being the day
when the Democratic party pleaded gull
ty to the indictment made by the Union
Republicans for the crime committed in
1896 of stealing the election of a whole
county, it was made remarkable also,
and worthy of special place in the
calendar, by reason of the fact that it
marks the date when the bakers dozen
of homeless, houseless wanderers as
sembled under the leadership of the
immortal Mensch to have their final
pow-wow before election day. They pre-
sented pitiful and pitiable picture. the
fading remnant of lost tribe, reduced
in numbers, in spirit and in hope;
abandoned and forlorn; rejected by both
parties and simply waiting for oblivion.
After wrestling with the problem OF
existence, they decided to name ticket;
that is, legislative ticket, and after
much shuffling, shifting and ciphering
they did the thing that they have tried
most strenuonsly to avoid, namely, to
place themselves in position where
their numbers or lack of numbers, could
be counted. So much for courage, if
courage may be attributed to fellow
driven in corner.
But, enough; they have named a
ticket, and we shall have the gratifica-
tion of giving to pOsterity the muster
roll of the immortal squad. And October
II, 1898, he's another claim to promi-
nence in the political calendar. State

The longer the Democratic ticket
stands before the people. the more popu
lar it becomes in the estimation OF the
people. 1t will be supported by every
Democrat who registers. The defeated
aspirants for the different offices are
unit for the success of the party. No
better proof of this assertion can be
found than in Georgetown hundred,
where John H. Truitt, the defeated can
didate for Sheriff. is doing all in his
power for the srccess OF the party. John
H. Trutt is Democrat, and such small
things as personal defeat have no effect
on his Democracy. And SO we might go
on through the names OF those who were
unsuccessful in their aspirations for the
different Offices. A Democrat is Demo.
crat, whether he stands under the will
lows of defeat or the laurels of victory.
Democracy is in this fight to win and
will win. We care not for united Re.
publican party, if Democrats will only
register. The majority of men of Sussex
county are Democrats. Journal.
