Lore and Associate Judge Spruance
would need the protection of every
good citizen in ascertaining the result
of the election at the Court House on
November 9Th. We differ with Mr..
Hayes as the Republican majority will
be so overwhelming that there will be
no trouble this year. The police force
is in different hands than they were
four years ago and there will be no
county constables to awe the people.
Daily Republican.
In the Academy of Music Wilmington
500 Democrats assembled to listen to
the address of Senator A. o. Bacon, of
Georgia who endeavored to show why
the Republican party should be de-
feated at the election next month.
When he arose Senator Bacon was
vigorously applauded, and much en-
thusiasm was evinced throughout his
ever, was the fact that he avoided any
mention of the Free Silver question.
Although he spoke for over an hour.
not once did he refer to the currency
question. Imperialism he discussed
freely in the course of his remarks.
The Evening Journal has this to
say: "For reasons believed to be
purely commercial, the Philadelphia
Times has taken back all it ever said
against Bryan and Free Silver, and
now faunts itself in the face of the
people of the East as a rampant advo-
cate of the Nebraskan and his prin-
ciples. Incidentally, it pays more at
tention to Delaware politics in its news
and editorial columns than it has ever
done in the past. This is because the
Democrats have no daily newspaper in
the State and must depend upon the
Philadelphia Times and Baltimore
San to assist them in a distressing
emergency. The Times plants the
Delaware Democrats as angels of light;
the Union Republicans as imps of dark
ness. If the Times can find Della
ware Democrat who has wings, Della
ware Union Republican who has horns,
hOofs and tail, or a Delaware Repub-
lican who is not perfectly satisfied
with the political prospect, the people
may take some stock in the present
propaganda in favor of Bryan, Free
Silver, reputation and treason.
