1t is settled that the Delaware delega-
ton to the Democratic National Com
mittee will cast solid vote for William

silver orator can carry the State at the
coming election. The Republican ma
tional ticket headed by Mckinley is sure
to win in this State. There are many
reasons for this, one of which is the ad-
vance made by this city during the pres

A CHANCE TO UNITE.

Wilmington Letter in the Philadelphia inquirer
of Yesterday.
Two political conventions in one day
are now expected TO give the members
of the Republican party the desired OPP
portunity OF holding harmony meetings
and dealing directly with each other.
Whether this was the intention Of the
leaders of the two Republican parties in
calling their conventions on the same
day is hard to tell, but that is the way in
which matters have driited and there is
now we'll defined movement among
some OF those who expected to be dele
gates at the convention to start the pro.
ceedngs regardless of whether the lead
ers like it or not. OF course the men in
charge of the two parties will try to con-
troll the proceedings so az to keep matters
within their OWE control, but from the
present outlook they are going to have a
hard time
One thing is certain and it is that the
members of the two parties want har-
mony despite what those in official posi-
tions in the party may say. They are
tired OF this fight in which there is moth
ing to be gained, and within the week
there have been Il number OF private
meetings held here, AT which the sub
iects discussed were harmony and the
best method OF getting it tefore the two
conventions.
1t is felt that now is the time to make
such offers as will be satisfactory to both
parties, and both conventions meeting in

sired chance to place the matter directly

FALL IN---F0RWARD---M MARCH

From the Dover State Sentinel of Saturday.
We publish today the call Of the Union
Republican party for State Convention
to be held in Dover on Tuesday, the 9th
day of this month. The call, it will be
noted, is authorized and requested by
the national committee of the party, and
by the State committee, which met IN
Dover on last Tuesday. The meeting Of
the convention is an important one, as
it will be the formal opening of the cam
paign for 1900, and the renewing Of the
battle for Republican supremacy, aud
tbe wrestling OF the State and county
governments from the CALLING thrsldom
OF corrupt Democracy, that has prosti-
tuted the government to the basest uses;
that has burdened the public with unjust
taxation, robbed the people of the right
OF franchise, poisoned tile fountains of
Justice, cast the liberties of the people in
the dust, by corrupting the ballot box,
and by force and fraud reversed the
decision of the pole.
The call is for ''All electors OF the
Union Republican party" and for all
Others, without regard to past political
affiliations, who believe in the prin-
ciple of the Republican party, and in
doree it's policies. The call is compre-
hensive, the platform is broad; broad
enough for every lover OF right, justice,
good order, sound and stable govern
ment to stand upon. Itappeals TO every
man in the State who has felt the grind
ing heel Of the Democratic party for
more than generation. 1t is the call of
the only organization that in the history
of this State, has shown sufficient
strength, vitality and ability, to over
throw the PROUD, entrenched, defiant
horde, calling itself Democracy.
We throw our banner to the breeze,
the bug!e call is sounding. The order

Dover, Del, Feb. 1S.-The public
school boards throughout lower Della
ware have been defrauded by conniving
book agents, who, claiming to be author
lied by the State Board of Education,
have been visiting the school districts
and selling them charts, assuring the
school officers that the State Board would
bear the expense.
The committees would then sign an
order to the State Board of Education for
$75, the price of the charts. The State
Board will pay these orders, but deduct
the amount from the districts dividend
