JOHN HENRY BATEMAN.

John Henry Bateman, editor of the
State Sentinel, died at his home ON
State street yesterday morning. The
deceased was BORN lin Chestertown.
Md, March 13, 1880, and was there
fore over seventy years of age. Most
of his life was passed i'm Dover. and
he was prominently identified with
public affairs here. He held success
sively the positions of magistrate and
postmaster here, having been appoint
ed to the latter position for two sue
cessive terms by President Lincoln.
Later he was for years cashier of the
First National Bank, and at his death
he was editor of the State Sentinel.
John H. Bateman was a man of
much ability. Active, energetic and
brainy, he easily assumed a prominent
position i'm every movement he became
identified with. He will be missed in
many walks and his death removes
another link which binds us Ito The
past.

Curious ELECTION Bet.

A curious election bet is just an
nounced from Detroit that involves a
mule and a mother-in-law. Arthur
Williams agrees if Bryan is elected
President ito support George Stebbins'
mobher-in-law for life. Stebbins agrees
if Mckinley is elected to twist the tail
of Williams mule daily for chree
weeks or until permanently disabled.

the better end of the bargain.

Does not the Morning News draw
conclusions too hastily? 1t objects to
the editor lof the Union Republican
spelling Jasmine" "asanine," and to
other Union Republican papers copy
ing that style. The News objects ito
this style of orthography, because
Webster doesn't spell lit that way.
Webster, be hanged, does the News
expect a man who can call a Conven-
tion by telephone, run the gathering
to suit himself and then delegate full
Convention powers to an aid-de-camp,
ito allow lone of his chief lieutenants
to be overned by a defunct old chap

of your correspondent from this place

position of Mr.. John HUM AIT present
nominee for lieutenant-aovernIor ON
the Union Republican ticket. Mr..
HUM is a Union Republican and has
been so known and accepted. The

Ito make the public believe that he is

FOR A REPUBLIC.

The Anti-Imperialist Convention as
sembled at Indianapolis this week
yesterday declared that the hope of
this nation centered in the election of
William jennings Bryan. Ex-Gover-
nor Boutelle, of Massachusetts, CON
densed in a few impressive words the
sentiment which actuated the repre-
sentative men from many States gath
cred there when he said:
"We are opposed to imperialism.
We are in favor of republican form
of government. We respect the teach
ings of our ancestry, the glory of the
history they have left ito us, and,
standing between the past and the fu-
ture, it is our duty to transmit to pos
terity the principles of THE fathers
and the institutions they founded
The man who uttered this sentiment
had filled the executive chair of uhe
old Bay State as Republican, and
was Secretary of the Treasury in the
Cabinet of President Grant. The
men who applauded lit to the echo rep
resented forty-tive States of this coun-
try, and a glance ait the list of names
of the delegates present shows that
they are men of mark in their re-
spective States while many of them
have regulations that ave national.
I'm my age" addod the venerable
Ex-Governor Bo .telle, I leave the Re-
publican party, now that lit has sur
rend.led itself to despotic and tyran-
meal motives. 1 helped create the
Republican party, party at that time
of justice and principle and honesty.
l now believe it is a party of injustice
and despotism, and l will help to de-
stroy And how? There lis but one
available means, and you know what
that is. I am for Bryan"
The applause which followed this
statement came also from men who
are never swayed by frothy enthusi-
asm formed of the environment of the
moment but whose records prove
them men of thought and earnestness.
Striking and convincing testimony is
this that the principles presented by
the Democratic party are everything
that THAT party claims for them. 1t is
an endorsement of the very highest
order given by men whose life records
prove that love of country is upper
most in their ambitions.
In men and platform the Democratic
party stands before the country to-day
arraying against the enemies of this
republic, principles which mean the
conservation and perpetuation of the
institutions our fathers fought for.
AS Americans are Americans the issue
is not to be feared

A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS.


That the Republican leaders recog-
nize the fact that the control of the
lower branch of Congress is in great
danger of being wrested from them
lis proven by the unusual attention the
leading Republican organs all over
the country are devoting 10 this per
ticular line of campaign work In the
Delawarean two weeks ago we gave
estimates covering many doubtful dis
tricts which justified 1.-THE prediction
then made by us that the next House
iof Representative would likely be
Democratic by safe majority That
ahis was MO idle prediction is shown
by the manner in which from Repub-
lican centres arguments are being
presented to the voters of that party
to stir them up in Congressional dis
tricts. SO keenly do they realize that
lthei present meagre majority which
gives them control of the House is
likely ito be wiped out that the danger
signal has been thrown out by Them
even to districts heretofore regarded
as safely Republican.
The Importance of securing control
of the peoples branch of Congress is
fully recognized by every one. In the
present crisis it means everything to
either party. OF more Importance by
far than the election of a chief eXecu-
tive of the nation, is the control of
the Legislative branch of government
to the people at large-to THE future
policy of the country. The principles
which are to sway us as "a people and
a nation must be here shaped and put
in force. The executive can advise.
and even formulate IA policy, but
Az 70 SOHStSsS WHICH SlFtS lOfce,
strength and being to policies and
shapes our destiny. Without the
legislative branch of the government
to put in force his theories an execu-
tive is but mere figure head and a
very helpless one ait that.
Delaware having elected a Republi-
can Congressman two years ago is ONE
of the districts to which just now Re-
publican national attention is being
prominently directed. In every table
of estimates thus far published in that
party's leading organs Delaware lis
classed as doubtful" though claim
is made that the Republicans have an
excellent chance to return member
of that party to the Fifty-sevenJh
Congress.
We need not urge upon our DEMO-
cratic brethren the interest our party
and people have in this matter. They
are undoubtedly fully awake to the
Importance of it. We must allow no
failure to meet us on this point. A
Democratic Congressman from Della
ware will be needed in the Fifty
Seventh Congress if the principles
which are to save the country are to
prevail
