Democrats no longer fear Renubli-
can supremacy writes Republican
Glasses'i in the Sunday Star. But a
material qualification is needed to make
this declaration truthful and complste.
An hunest Republican supremacy would
not carry dread to tho hearts of Demn
Gratis, although it might give rise to
reasonable apprehension. But the mere
prospect OF Republican supremacy under
the auspices that now dominate either
faction OF the Republican party, or that
are conspicuous in The pending har-
mony overtures, would create not only
fear, but absolute CONSERVATION, in the
breast Of the average Democrat, and OF
tine average citizen, too, regardless Of
his political prediisctions. The signs
of the times are portentous. and the
handwriting on the wall is already be-
ginning to inscribe the declaration. that
the political party to which shall be
committed the confidence and tho votes
of the people OF Delaware in the next
election must read it's title clear" to all
men, and that it's title shall be guar
antee of honest nolitics, clean elections
and good government.

Wood md Roosevelt with their Rough

assaulting line. The hill was far
steeper than any Of those taken before
and was defended by greater number
OF Spaniafds. The enemy'H best guns

Certainly this charge was one of the
heroics of the war This was tho key
to the Spanish position-tLe most i'm

SantiRgo's chief defence. This Ia why
Hawkins himself led on his men when
he called for tho charge.
The Spaniards swept tho slope with
whitening fire. 1t did not seem that
human courage aud human endurance
could take that steep. But our men
never fiuched or fultered.
Up the hill they went, cheering ns
they charged. The cruel shell tore

were shot down in the midst of their
cheering. But In and through II all
