It is the political warp Of Bryan's
mind that condemns him. No one de-
MICS his ability as en- orator, but the
affairs Of this nation are not run along
oratorical lines. The people want a
man whose views on the great ques-
lions Of the day are based on hard com
mon~sense, and one in whose good
judgment and honesty Of purpose they
have absolute confidence. President
Mckinley is such man.

IHMARIfD BY ADDlcKs

In the face OF all Addicks dlsclaim-
ers we reiterate our previous declara-
ton that j. Frank Alice. chairman Of
the Addlcks State Central Committee.
and Dr. Caleb r. Layton, a member Of
that committee. and also chairman Of
the Union Republican Committee OF
Sussex county, went before the Repub-
lican State Committee and made
speeches in which they endorsed the
candidacy Of Dr. /. Helsler Ball for the
long term In Congress Also, that they
afterwards went to DR.. Ball personally
and gave him the same assurance. It
is futile for the Addicks organs to at
tempt to Justify the subsequent action
Of the Union Republican State Commit
tee in refusing to endorse DR.. Ball, jusa
as it is false for them to say that its
action was not swayei by the pessonn,t
dlctation OF Addicks.
State Treasurer L. Heisler Ball, the
Republican nominee for the long term
in Congress. needs no apologist in the
camp Of the Addicksites or elsewhere
He is one OF the best citizens in New
Castle county. AS a physician ne occu
pies a high place In the profession
His record as a party man is spotless
in social and political circles he is pop
ular in all respects. Delaware neve
had a man who administered the offic
of state treasurer with more painstalI
ing care and honesty and with less os
tentation. Whatever he has had to d
socially, professionally, poliucall
and officially--he has done well. Blu
Addicks says he is obnoxious to hin
and that his name cannot go on tn
Addicks ticket. What is his offense
Is he too decent or to honest to NEE
the requirements Of the gasman? Ca
any other reason be assigned for ba:
ing a political cleavage on Dr. Ball
candidacy? The people want this sill
work on the part of Addicks and hi
cabal to stop. They want harmon.
with one ticket and victory. and wi
not consent to have It thwarted merel
because one Of the candidates is pc
sonally Objectionable to Addicks.

From the Philadelphia Daily Evening

Harmony" still lags in Delaware.
The Gasman has astcondescended TO
give his reasons for going back on his
original proposition for a compromise
ticket, to be selected by the Regulars
on the sole condition that it should be
headed by his own man, John Hum,
for governor. Addicks objects to one
Of the candidates named, because nc
has been a bitter factionallst, who has
learner nothing in the way OF har-
mQny In the past two years"
An inquiry into this accusation re
veals the fact that DR.. Ball, the candi-
date in question, is opposed to the
election Of the Gasman to the United
States Senate under any circumstances

Unknown Correspondent Addresses
Letter to Commissioner Beach.

Letter to missioner Beach.
From an unknown correspondent Captain
Beach, the District Engineer Commissioner,
has received the following communication,
the writer evidently having in mind the
difficulty the Commissioners encounter at
times in submitting a report on railroad
bills satisfactory to everybody:
Long. long ago. when the beasts, birds
and fishes were in high state Of civilization
and widely known for their much speaking,
they all assembled in convention to vote on
a railroad bill. After each had said the
last word and got the better of everybody
else the question was called, and the chair
man appointed tellers to count the vote.
The result of the first ballot was as fol-
lows:
"Forty-leven thousand four hundred and
forty-four fishes, crocodi1es, snakes and
other water wrigglers voted unanimously
against any bill which would take the rail-
road in, through, under, above, across, near
or in the vicinity of any spring, lake,
stream ocean, swamp. mudhole or other
damp spot occupied used or owned by any
member Of the delegation, for the reason
that such action would injure, interfere
with and otherwise injuriously affect their
homes. premises, peace. quiet liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
For the same reason the birds, fowls
bugs, insects and all other creatures using
the air or atmosphere as medium of COM
munication or otherwise voted unanimous
ly against any location of the road above
the face Of the earth or the vicinity there
of.
ION the same cogent, convincing and
overwhelming grounds the beasts, animals
serpents, quadrupeds. bipeds and block
heads voted severally and collectively
against the use of the dry land or any spot
on the face thereof for any such purpose
whatsoever.
Thus. having briefly disposed of these
minor and immaterial objections to the
complete and entire satisfaction of every
one, they voted unanimously for the con-
struction of the road on the condition that
1t should be completed from one end to the
other within two years from the date of
the passage of the act, and operated there
after to suit and to please every one; that
the cars should be vestibuled; the fare
to be not more than 3 cents, ten tickets
being sold for quarter: that If any of
these provisions were not complied with
the charter should be abrogated and re-
pealed at once.
After receiving the congratulations of
the chairman upon the marvellous wisdom,
tact and promptness displayed In the action
upon the bill the meeting adjourned every
body patttng everybody else on the Shout
der and telling him or her how he or she
had done 1t all sfngle-handed and alone
P. S.-The charter was promptly and
unanimously repealed at the end of two
years."

The House will devote the remainder of
this week to contested election cases. The
debate on the Aldrich- Robbins case. which
opened on Friday. will continue Tuesday
and Wednesday. After 1t is disposed of the
Wise-Young contest from Virginia will be

reported against the sitting members, who
are Democrats. and the House probably
will sustain the reports. so that by the end
of the week the republican majority in the
House will nave been increased by two.
