The editors of the personal organs Of
the Union Republican party no doubt
received new instructions some time
ago For two or three weeks they have
maintained a peculiar silence in the
matter Of the political situation I'm Del
aware. They have not discovered how
they are to deliver the goods" and
therefore keep quiet 1t is believed chat
General Orders No. l. dated Philadel-
phia, and issued just after the national
convention adjourned, set forth that
discreet silence was necessary until fur
ther instructions. All of these organs
are following the same line They al
ways act in unison and whatever one
says they all say. They are undor

1t is already evident that the Demo-
Gratis will not be quite so short Of
money in the campaign this Fall, as
they were four years ago, and that the
Republicans will not be able to entire
ly swamp them by mere weight of gold
as they did last time. Some of the
eastern Democrats who have come
back into the party this year are ex-
pected to contribute with greater or
less liberality this year, as an evidence
Of their good faith and to- re-establish
their influence in the party. Moreover,
some of the wealthy anti-imperalists
will, it is said. contribute with fair
liberality.-SusseX COuntian.

when the editor of that paper was
damning him and threatening to throw
Delaware's electoral vote to the Demo-
Gratis. We do not wonder that DR..
Layton urges harmony, and threatens
all Addicksites, since he is slated
for Congress, but he had as well learn
the truth which is, that he cannot poll
Regular Republican votes enough nee
essary to his election.-Peninsula News
and Advertiser.
Mr.. Addicks would not have selected
Delaware as a channel through which
to reach the Senate if he had not known
the power Of the dollar with the voters
in the state. and to successfully block
his progress bribery must be
prevented. With Addicks and
bribery eliminated from the politics of
the commonwealth, all honest men will
submit without complaint to the YER
dict Of the qualified voters, but Della
wareans will never accept the verdict of
bribed jury.-Delawar Pilot
