THE BUIsWlAlRIS OF SAFETY.
We believe THAT the editor Of the
Ntdduetown Transcript KNOWS that itI
newer has been our policy TO aid orI
encourage Addioksism JIM Delaware-
From the time THAT J. Edward lAddlclSs
made his first dash into the field OIL
Delaware pclHtlcs down TO tine present
time we have consistently resented HIS
presence and repudiated his preten-
slons. Far from encouraging him, we
have given the Regular Republicans
their full mede Of praise lacr the de-
termtned and self-sacrificinlg stand
whNh .hey have made against him and
mis- aggressions. We have watched the
BATTLE closely. We have seen him
break Through their Vines In Kent and
Sussex counties and putt them to rort-
we have seem their forces IN Those two
counties surrender to him condl-
tionally and Internationally. WIS have
seen him assault their Hines in New
Castle county and pendrate them in
mnny places. and now we watch while
he saps their strength in their very
stronghold. which is the city OF VIII
mingtm.
