And he came unto him, and said unto him
There were two men in one city; the one
rich and the other poor.
%. The rich man had exceeding many
focks and herds:
n3. But the poor man had nothing, saw
one little eve lamb, which be had brough
and nourished up: and it grew up togethe
with him, and with his children; it did ca
OF his own meat, and drank Of his own cup
and lay in his bosom, and was unto him a
adaughter.
a. And there came q traveller unto th'
rich man, and he spared to take of his owl
fcck and of his own herd. to dress for th'
wayfaring man that was come unto him
but took the poor mans lamb, and dressed
1t for the man that was come to him.
IS. And Dayid's anger was greatly kin
died against the man; and he said to Ma
than, As the Lord liveth, the man tina
hath done this thing shall surely die:
'6. And he shall restore the lmab four
fold, because he did this thing, and because
he had no pity.
81. And Nathan said to Da' d, Thou ar
the man. -
Rev. j. s. Willis has written another
political letter, Interestingly as ht
writes, and the aMorning News" com
ments upon it respectfully, as it always
comments. Party Regularity Relig-
ious Party Responsibility Is the centra
thought Of editorial and letter looking
to Republican success In Delaware.
They ara both valuable in suggestions
but fall shoEt Of tha desirable end and
aim-the entity Of honest, sincere and
unsel6sh Republicans in Delaware.
The text for the letter and comment
Of Oct. 26tE, was an editorial in the
'sMorning News" of Oct. 10th, from
which Mr.. Willis quoted:
"If the responsible men in Kent and
Sussex countiss, who are closely identi-
fed with religious work as members of
church organizations and as leaders il
all such matters, had stood firmly for
what is right few years ago, the pres
ent unfortunate political situation
could never have BEEN made possible. -
In that paragraph the Morning
News" says 70 Mr.. Willis, "Thou art
the man" but not boldly as did Nathan.
Lt is this truth that Mr.. Willis indi-
rectly answers; unfortunately not vigo-
rously because he could not, being han,
dicaped. Mr.. Willis did not turn from
allegiance to regularity" until the ad-
5purnnent Of the General Assembly of
1899 when Addicks had twice refused
to consider any man within or without
his own party for senator save himself.
As to the Supervisorship Of the Census
we believe President NICK Kinley selected,
Mr.. Willis to end the divided recon
mendatjons since Mr.. Willis had served
with him in Congress and had asked
for Consulship in which he was dis
appointed. There are those who will
say, however, this is another "little
eve lambn and it will greatly modify
the weight Of that gentIeman's influ-
ence. This is unfortunate.
We believe that had the irresponsible
men in Kent and Sussex countless In
the Republican Party, saying nothing
Of church connections of men, stood
iirmly against victory by bribery, prom.
ised by Addicks, our party would
now be united and victorious. Manv
OF these sfsspondhis" men in New
Castle county voted for Mr.. Willis IN
1895, hoping the Union Republican
claim that ''Hofecker and Willis viii
be elected" might prove true. The
leaders knew the prediction was false.
-. - W no Just claim could either the
Union Republicans Or Kent County
politicians sel6shly justify the taking
both Governor and Representative, in
Congress. That further divided the
party. While we belieye the ttM6rning
Newap ia correct In saying with Ma
thanie directness to the Responsible
Republicans Of Kent and Sussex
"THOU ART THE MAN",
We also believe the "Morning News"
more responsible for the growth Of Ad-
dicksism il Wilmington and New Cas-
Tie county than sll othsr moral agen-
Cies. It has not combatted, as it
ahould, the insinuetions and efforts of |
Addicks and his adherents. The
Evening Journari admitted recently |
In o discussion with the TRANSCRIPT
that II "blew frss Lot and then cold'' |
upon Addickism end Regular Repub-
leans to widen the brsnch-=for benefit |
10 Democracy. The EVERY Evening"
has done much the same. The tDsn5 4
Republican, sets with the wine dailv. |
fhs" Responsibility" foE GOOD Repuh. |
Iican government has been largely with
he Morning News" and it has failed. |
Nor does it measure up now. It allows l
he disrepusable "Sun" to reiterate /
lalse statement after statement with
,ut correction or comment. That
condition creates sn impression on the
pnblic. It Is because of this fact that
Re assume the unpleasant task Of faith
al Nathan and come, yet with a pa
riotic heart all bleeding and sad, aud
ay, not without hope FOR the future,
md yet without resentment for the
'ast,
"THOU ART THE MAN".
And David said unto Nathan, / have
inned against the Lord. And Nathan said
INTO David, the Lord also hath put sWay
by sin; thou shalt not die.n
