Between Patrick Neary and Willard
Salisbury, Jr., no love is lost Mr.
Neary is particularly obnoxious to Mr.
Salisbury at this time, because he is
the pace-maker for Former Attorney
General John Biggs in his race for the
United States senatorship. The Smyrna
Call is controlled by Mr.. Salisbury
1t refers to the Biggs following as "Mr
Neary's little outfit" and makes this
personal editorial allusion:
Our friends in New Castle seemed
unacquainted with Mr.. Patrick Neary
They thought he was a local preacher
They thought his bundles OF committee
figuring were plans for new houses out
on the pike Mr. Neary will probably
straighten up his face, wink to John
Biggs and gravely announce next week
that he is out of politics. The silver
aggregation will then shake hands.

Neary will run the train to Dover on
June 18th according to schedule.
II the Salisbury people are not care
ful, Mr. Neary will not only run the

schedule, but he also will run the Dem
ocratic State Convention according to
a Biggs schedule after he gets there.

MUSIC IN THE AIR

Bryan will be elected The air as Il
We're sings of It, lie was nearly elect
ed four years ago. And the difference
between four years ago and now is the
difference between going up the hill
and going down.-Smyrna Call.
What a delightful time the editor of
the Smyrna Call must be having with
the air down in Duck Creek hundred
singing OF Bryan. Is he sure that It is
not the buzz of mosquitoes, driven in
from the sour marshes OF Thorough
fare Neck by an easterly wind, that he
hears. Singing air is something new
for northern Kent, but in hot weather
when myriads of mosquitoes are hatch
ed from the green and Shiny pools in
the marshes thereabouts, n man with
an ear not particularly trained to mel
ody might easily make a mistake.
But the editor Of the Cali is not only
hearing things-he also is thinking
them. Bryan will be elected" win
he? Wait and see. He was nearly
elected four years ago" Look at the
vote cast in the Electoral College and
quit figuring on -beens.
"The difference between four years ago
and now is the difference between go
ing up the hill and going down" Four
years ago Mr.. Bryan did go up the hill,
and in the estimation of the Free Sill
yer Democrats he has been up the hill
ever since. The frank confession made
by the Call that he win so down the
hill this year is scarcely becoming such
a straight-laced organ. However. there
are times when the truth bubbles up
even from the Smyrna Calls ink WELL
If the friends Of the Call do not come
to its relief It will be seeing things
next and then Duck Creek hundred
will be a political elysium with singing
air and hopeful situations, canopieC
with a sllvery sky in which the mystic
symbol "l6 to 1" will be emblazoned t.
gladden. the eye Of the worshippers o
the Silver Lamb which is to be Offered
up as a national sacrifice at the elec
tion in November.

Illustrative Of the rule or ruin policy
of the Addicks party the action in 1896
with respect to the presidential cleo
tors may be recalled with peculiar
force at this particular time when DR..
Caleb r. Layton. the Addicks leader in
Sussex. is threatening to give Delaware
to Bryan by a majority Of from 5000 to
1000 unless the National Convention
seats the Addicks delegates. It will be
remembered that both the Republicans
and Addicksites nominated men for
electors. The Republicans urged the
Addicksites to take down their electors
and to accept those nominated by the
Republicans. They refused to do so
Then. to save the state to President
Mckinley the Republicans made a prop
osition to the Addicksites to draw
lots to decide which set OF electoral
nominees should retire. Once more
there was a positive refusal. At this

On the part Of the Democratic state
conventions now being held. there is a
studied effort to sink Free Silver and TO
float Bryan. But in the minds of the
American voters the two are insepara-
BILE and must sink or float together.
Mr. Bryan is a menace to the business
interests Of the nation. He has shown il
in the past, and the mere fact that he
keeps his mouth closed at this particu-
lar time for the sake Of political ex-
pediency in the matter Of delegate
getting and vote-getting, does not rem.
der him any the less dangerous. Sound
Money Democrats know that he is moi
convert to Sound Money doctrine
They also know that the Bryan man
ayers in the several states are throwing
sep. to catch Sound Money votes fo
Free Silver Bryan.

Yes, the Evening Journal is a Repub-

cause there is no faction within the
Republican party. The Dover Della

Republican faction. Nothing is farther
from the truth. The Addicks party is
