his action in voting for Addicks on
Monday last, but he now makes the fol-
lowing written statement, now in pos
ession of c. w. Kenney:
1t seems impossible 10 understand
that political feeling should run so
hieh In Delaware that anyone should
advocate violence against Democrats
who voted for Addlcl1s and That no epi-
thol should be too severe to be hurled
at thems and yet We were sent to the
Legislature to exercise our right and TO
do our duty, one OF which was TO vote
for a United States senator.
Knowing uhat no Democrat could
hope TO succeed at that iunctnre. we
believed we could in no way have kept
alive the Republican factional feeling
better than by voting for Addlcls
Whereas in case OF no material change
in voting fsom what appeared Prior to
the last day, it is possible a truce
may have been patched up between the
tTo republican flctlcrs. This. l was
determined TO prevent, and did what /
uacught the very best 10 prevent such

The Two Dinners.

The two dinners given in New
York last week, one on Thursday
night by the gold standard demo.
Gratis, the other on Saturday night
by 4he silver democrats, were two
notable gatherings. At the form
er banquet the price of seat was
$1,000, and represented therefore.
the rich men of the party in the
Metropolis. At the latter the
price was s1.0O, and represented
therefore, the masses. At the
former there was a magnificent
display of wealth, and three quarts
of wine, etc. to each plate. At the
latter everything was plain, and an
absence of useless display.
At the former there were 1,1OOs
people present, at the latter about
5000.
Augustus Van Wyck, the defeated
candidate for governor of New
York, was the chief speaker at the
$1,000 dinner. Rev. w. j. BRYAN.
the friend of the masses and
.rchampion of their rights, the chief
speaker at the latter. In consider
ing the two occasions the idea
is suggested, what a pity it is that
these two opposing and discordant
% elements cannot reconcile their
differences and combine their
strength against a common foe.
Bryan for President and Van
Wyck for Vice President would
make ticket that would win
against all corners.

FRIDAY, APRIL 81, 1899.
Farm Work.

The farmers in this section, and
In fact in the whole country, are
unusually behind hand in their
spring work. This is due to the
severity Of the winter and the ex-
traordinary amount of rain that
has kept the ground too wet for
blowing. Now the winter seems
to be oyer and the farmers will
push their work with energy. They
will have less time than usual to
prepare for their crops, and there.
fore the area in cultivation NAV be
somewhat reduced. This may not
be an unmitigated evil. Better
cultivation of the reduced area may
make up for the curtailment in
extent. Good harves;s may yet
be expected. The severe winter
with the had freezing, has made
9he soil more friable and more
easily cultivated. 1t may also
have destroyed some of the insects
so destructive to the crops. The
prospect for an average yield OF
fruit is favorable. Many of the
peaches are killed, but the small
fruits are probably uniniured and
the apple crop the most important
of all our Cruit crops, promises to
be abundant. On the whole the
farmer has no reason to be dis.
cOuraged at the outlook.
