LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE
Sussex Wants Governorship
q EdItor EVenlng Journal.

To the Editor Evening Journal.
Sir: l see that the Republicans Of
Delaware are to hold their primaries
and their convention first That is all
right. And who the convention nomi-
mates for presidential electors matters
not to the people of Delaware, so that
they cast their vote for Mckinley in
the Electoral College. But it does mat
ter very materially who the candidates
for the state offices are. Therefore, no
mistake in this matter should be made.
There are many things to be looked
after in this matter, among S'hich is
the best location for the candidates
and the best candidates to be nomi-
mated to bring success to the party.
The Republicans who want success
for the electoral ticket. and as well for
the state ticket, think that as New
Castle will. in the event of Republican
success, get the two United States SEN
ators, that Sussex should have an in
centive They want the candidates fer
governor. They not only want this, but
claim that Sussex is entitled to the
governOrship by rotation as New Cas-
tie had the nomination from the two
parties since Sussex has hadit. And the
people of Sussex also think the con-
ventiOn should not only accord them
the right of governor, but give them
the man they want They do not want
parry drone but they do
want man who stands up
and fights for party success in sea-
son and out of season. a man who will
help win his election, and not a man
who has been too nice to go even TO a
primary for any purpose. The people
are tired Of electing a man whom
they have to tell what to do,
and are not certain what he
viii do after they tell him. They want
man who knows, as a Republican,
what 10 do for party interest, and will
listen and do for them what personal
experience and the needs Of the party
demand.
The Republicans of Delaware, with
out respect TO party factions, want men
elected TO vote for Mckinley, and they
want as well men nominated for state
Offices who have fought the battles oi
the party when there was no hope OI
success. and who will be for the party
as well as for the people, If elected
And If such men are not given then
by the men whom they elect to make

General Lew Wallace has lots o
sympathy for the 'unspeakable Turk
who is endeavoring to dodge a $4,000
claim that the United States Govern
ment has against him, but he Is with
out sympathy for the National Anti
lmperialist League, as is evidenced by
his refusal to preside at the meeting OF
that body in indianapolis. He openly
declares that he will have nothing "a
do with it. Thus the Bryan assistants
have received another setback in their
work against Mckinley.

Now that Former United States Dis
trict Attorney James M. Beck, of Phil
adelphia, has repudiated Bryan, Free
Silver and anti-eXpansion, the Demo-
cratic newspapers are making a labor
ed attempt to belittle him in the public
eye. Mr.. Beck is a lawyer of ability; a
man of intelligence and respectability
and he has been lifelong Democrat.
He feels that the Democratic party has
drifted so far from the place where
Jefferson moored it that no self-res-
pecting Democrat can claim it as his
party, He is a man who thinks for
himself, and who believes he would
insult his own keen intelligence if he
were to follow the leadership Of the
Populists. Socialists and Anarchists
who have seized the Democratic organ
izatlon and put it to their own sinister
uses.
