The announcement is a trihe early.
but none the less enjoyable that the
Regulars and Union elements are about
to sign the peace bond, and pull to-
gether as brothers of the one faith.
This is unmistakably a midsummer
dream, and the awakening Will reveal
our Republican friends as far apart as
ever on all questions Of county and
state.-Delaware Ledger.
If less wine was consumed at dinners

According to the Union Republican,
echoed by the Chronicle. Mr.. AddicKs
has arrayed against him the same
forces in Delaware that German, Quay
and Platt have in their respective
states. This is pretty near the truth,
and these papers are to be congratu-
lated on this near approach. But il
does Mr.. Addicks an injustice. He is
so far their superior in their own po-
litlcal methods, that they cannot be
regarded in his class. Delaware may
boast that she has raised a political
boss such as the conditions OF no
other state could produce.-Mil,ord
News and Advertiser.

The Newark post Office is just now
a centre of interest. Colonel DUPONT
recommends a man. Morrison, who is
a resident OF New Castle hundred, and
whose appointment is strenuously op-
| posed by the residents OF Newark The
facts as they exist have been reported
to the president, and the question now
is, will DUPONT be permitted to over
ride the will of the patrons OF the New
ark post office? These are novel meth
DDS to build up and strengthen the
party.-Doyer State Sentinel.
Delaware must bear her full share in
the contest that is impending And VT
believe that Delaware will fully meas
ure up to the standard of the duty re-
quired of her. With the gravity Of oui
state issues to urge as on, and the
possibility of the grand achievement!
nationally to be obtained, we have as
b suredly incentive sufficient to urg,
every Delaware Democrat to do his ful
duty Organization and unity Of pur
pose is needed nationally win. Thesl
J will come. Organization under capable
efficient strong leadership is needed II

It viii be remembered that New
Castle county built Farnhurst ant

same will be attempted in the case o
