Delaware is naturally Democratic
State" Former Senator Anthony Zig
gins is credited with saying to news
paper reporter in Washington, the othor
day. 1.-The Republicans are able to
control it only because of the disrup-
tion of their opponents. y
No doubt MIR. Higgins will be SO.
verely criticised for this utterance, but
he spoke the words Of truth. Delaware
is naturally Democratic State, just
as it was naturally Wing State in
ante bellum days. From tho time Of
the second election of James Monroe,
in 1924, until the election of franklin
Pierce and the dissolution of tho Wing
party, in 1852, Delaware's electoral
vote was invariably cast against the
Presidential nominees of the Demo-
cratic party. In 1914. when the States
voted for President on different days,
the staunch Wings of Delaware gave
the electoral vote of their State to
Henry Clay, even after it was known to
certainty that New York had Como
Democratic and that Polk and Dallas
were elected.
The issues Of the war made q change
in political conditions in Delaware,
and the State became as solidly Demo-
cratic as she had previously been solitlly
Wing. Her electoral vote was given to
Mcclellan in 1864, and to Seymour in
1868 In 1870 came the negro vote, a
tremendous aid to the Republican
garty, but Delaware elected James
Ponder governor and chose Demo-
cratic Legislature by majority Of
over 1000.
In 1872 came the first break, when
the Democrats of Delaware refused to
vote for Horace Greeley, and Grant
carried the State. James r. Lofand,
Republican, was elected Representa-
tive in Congress, hut the Legislature
was saved by the Democrats. Two
years later, however, the Democrats
recovered themselves, and swept the
State, electing John p. Cochran gov.
ernor by "A majority OF 1900, Then
came succession Of Democratic vic
tories, the Democratic majority al
times exceeding 5000.
That this same Democratic majority
is in the State today will be admitted
by all who are familiar with
Delaware politics, and whenever it car
be concentrated in one political effort
the Republican party will be defeated
How this majority has been dissipated
and finally reversed. is a matter O
local history, and it is not necessary t,
refer to it in detail. And how tn,
Republic vote has been built up il
recent years is also no mystery.
But Mr.. Higgins was correct in say
ing that delaware is naturally
Democratic State. ;" And with SCUM,
principles and good candidates, Della
ware will give rousing Democrati
, majority any day, whether the Repuh
lican factions come together or kee
} apart. Is it not worth while for tn
leaders of the party to endeavor I
/ bring about these conditions, and thu
restore the old-time Democratic pres
J tige?

NEK PUBLICATIONS.

.OUT OF THE PAST" by Eleanor
Hooper Coryel. l2mo., cloth, 1853 PIP.
Street Il Smith, publishers. 23s William
street. New York. Price 81.
A story Of unusual strength and in
terest. The prologue is exguisitely
written. A Sister Of Charity discovers
the dead mother and newly-born child,
with nothing to show their identity or
history. The story itself begins some
twenty years later when the child has
become man of great talent but
overshadowed by the cloud which en-
velopes his origin. The heroine, an
American girl, has come to Paris for
violin study. believing herself the
daughter of devoted and ielined parents.
In protesting against her father s
second marriage she brings upon her
self the shock and horror Of the ais
coyery that she is no legitimate
daughter, but n waif adopted from the
unknown EAST. The story goes on to
its climax, showing how the curse of
illegitimacy leaves unhealed wounds
and falls in unforeseen places upon the
most innocent. And yet the story is
neither heavy ncr sombre, but has both
lightness and charm and the delight
Of unexpectedness.

Tho Democratic State Convention Of
Louisiana was held last week, and the
platform adopted, while denouncing
Trusts, demanding appropriations for
the improvement OF the Mississippi
River, and making deliverauces upon
various other issues, State and national,
preserved an absolute silence upon the
subjects of the denomination of Bryan
and the free coinage of silver at the
ratio Of 16 to l..
The action Of the Louisiana Demo-
Gratis affords pr actical example to the
Democrats of Delaware. Louisiana is
u surely Democratic State, and Della
ware is also Democratic under oondi-
tions that permit of united Demo-
cratic vote. The Democrats of Louisi-
ana have cast behind them the disturb
ing Influence of Organism and free
silver coinage, leaving their party
organization practically untrammeled
for the great national campaign OF next
year. Will it not be the part of wisdom
for. tho Democrats Of Delaware to do
likewise?
1t will not involve any orswfishing or
swallowing Of words for the Democrats
of Delaware to adopt this wise and
conservative policy. They have never
yet declared for free silver coinage at
tho ratio of l6 to l. On the contrary,
their last financial declaration was
Tin favor of the present monetary
standard, and against the free coinage
Of silver at any ratio, and the further
compulsory purchase CT silver bullion. +"
This declaration stands unchanged
today.
The enactment Of the Gold Standard
bill now before Congress will tend 10
take the financial issue out of the next
national campaign, and permit OF I'M
divided attention to tho more vital and
living issues of expansion, imperialism
and the greed of Trusts. Is it wise to
cloud these issues, or impair their
effectiveness, by Juggling in the dead
cause Of free silver coinage, which has
already proved heavy drag to the
Democratic party of the country?
The Democrats of Louisiana, a State
that will have electoral votes to give
to the Democratic nominee for Presi.
dent, have set an example to the Demo.
Gratis Ct every other State IN the Union.
What is needed next year is Demo
cratic campaign, not Populist or q
Single Tax campaign. Let these side
show parties run on their own lines
with their own candidates and theil
own platforms of.principles. A soun6
Democratic campaign is the need o
the country, as well as OF The Demo
cratic party.
Let the Democrats Of Delaware Eea
in mind the good example set by thu
Democrats of Louisiana, and resolv,
to emulate it.
