THRESHlNG CHAFF

William Jennings Bryan threshed
Kansas City chaff at Indianapolis yes
terday Conscious of the weakness Of
his Free Silver hobby with the Ameri-
can PEOPLE he ignored the issue en-
tirely in his speech Of acceptance of
the Democratic nomination for presi-
dent, ana devoted his entire attention
to the question of Imperialism. In
other words, he gave the cue to his
followers to do the best to make that
the dominant issue in the present cam
paign, and TO keep Free Silver as far
in the background as possible. That
is the program if the Republicans will
permit it to be followed out. which, ii
goes without saying, they will not.
Mr. Bryan made an entertaining
speech. He always does. with him
the manner is more important than
the matter. He has a winning way
which carries many persons with him.
But beneath it all there is hollow
ness that a large majority of the
American voters discovers before cleo
ton day and that hollowness works
his defeat. Bryan is menace to
American institutions. His words are
fair but his purposes are inimical to
the people. He is a Populist, and
more or less Of a Socialist He has
taken the Democatic livery to work
in, hoping it viii fool the American
people, and now he would
hide his Free Silver policy be-
meath the cloak of imperialism in the
face Of his ultimatum that he would
not run for the Office on a platform
that did not contain a Free Silver
plank. Such duplicity will not avail
him. lie is the Free Silve plank ION
two legs and the people know it.

Il was a most inexcusable blunder to

relief to find out that the misquOtation

In the estimation of nations and in
dignity, power and influence fer right
things in the affairs Of the world as a
consequence of the war through which
the country was guided by the safe

will be lost, advance will become re-
progression, dignity will give place to
abasement, power to ignoble weakness

EWART CRAWFlSHES

5. Frank Ewart, chairman OF the Ad-
dicks County Committee of New Castle
county, crawhshes beautifully under
pressure. When Former President Of
the Levy Court Richard C. Buoking-
ham first went to him from the Re
publican County Committee with har-
mony proposals. Mr.. Ewart carried a
high head ana a mighty air, and de-
clined to even think of common pri-
maries in this county unless the Re
publicans agreed to single state
ticket and common primaries in Kent
and Sussex counties Mr.. Buckingham
left him, and later requested him to
put his answer in writing. In the
meantime Nh. Ewart had learned
something which robbed him Of his
high and mighty attitude. and, in re-
sponse to Mr.. Buckingham's request, he
contented himself with writing that he
would have to consult the Addicks
County Committee before giving any
positive answer on the common prl-
maries proposition. Mr. Ewart has
discovered that Addicls bluff does not
count for much with Delaware Repub-
icans this year, and that the Union
Republican voters have come to the
conclusion that it is time for their
leaders to do something besides help
ing the Democrats. They want har-
mony, and all they can get Of it, and
in this election they do not intend
that a few Addicks henchmen, salaried
or unsalaried, shall give either the
county or the state to the Democratic
party. We congratulate Mr. Ewart on
his change of front IT relieves the
situation and places him in better
position before the people. Let him
get his committee together al once.
and submit the Republican harmony
proposals TO IT, Let the Addicks COM
mittee put itself ON record for or
against harmony and common primar-
les. Let it stand up and say its
say and then ait down and give the
New Castle county voters time to

of Democracy want harmony. and the
Addcks leaders cannot stand ur
against the overwhelming drift Of sen.
timent in that direction.

1t is an outrage that the Grand Army
of the Republic should be made the
scapegoat of dirty Addicks attacks on
the Board of Pension Examiners Of
Delaware. We think it time for the
members Of Phil Sheridan Post to in
sist that the Addicks henchmen and
organs refrain from using its name to
bolster up senseless criticism Of DR..
Evan G. Shortlidge and his colleagues.
We believe that when Phil Sheridan
Post has any complaints to make it

representative Of its organization than

The Mckinley administration does
not fear Major Rathbone or any other
man concerned in the Cuban postal
frauds. The best evidence Of this is that
warrants are being issued and arrests
made as rapidly as the evidence obtain
ed will justify action. In the face Of
such a course, Democratic criticism
tails fiat. No party can give absolute
guarantee of the honesty and fidelity
Of its agents. II is the party which
shows no mercy to those Of its agents
who betray the trust reposed in them
which retains the public confidence. If
those Cuban frauds had been perpetrat-
ed by agents Of Democratic admins
tration the whitewash brush would
have been brought out forthwith for
the sake of the party" II is a way the
Democrats have Of meeting a crooked
condition. Their maxim is, Let the
culprit escape if it will prevent scan
dal." No such principle is known un-
der the Mckinley administration.
