RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUSSEX

Mat,y persons do not understand the

The Re DubHcans down there asked for
a compromise ticket. They offered to
aceent one-third OF the county offices
and three OF the places on the legis-
llative ticket. giving the Union Repub-
llicans everything else. Dr. Laytons
committee declined to entertain the
lpropositiou. 1t demanded that the Re-
publicans accept the Union Republic
can county ticket in it's entirety and

Preventative in the field. Such thing
WIS entirely out of the question. 1t
was pointed out to the Union Repub-
rcans that if nominations were made
BY ballot iustead of by county con
ventioi1 the Republicans could carry
At least one senatorial and three rep
lresentat i've districts. DR.. Layton's
commit se replied that that made nc
difference. The suggestion was made
that il two Republican tickets were
placed in the field the Democrat!
would carry Sussex county. Dr. Lay
toms committee replied in substance
hat it woul d rather have the Demo-
Gratis carry the county than give th'
Republicans one-third of the count,

to the British-German agreement. says
a Washington dispatch, is still held in
allegiance 1t is understood that with
the third article that Great Britain
and Germany shall take suitable
measures in their own interests, in the
contingency that other Powers seize
territory in China, the American Gov
ernment will not concern itself at this
stage. 1t is probable the answer to be

be an unqualified acceptance of the

Bryan's meteoric flight through Del

ciable effect on the result here in No
vember. He drew large crowds, ii is
true. but the marked apathy along the
line demonstrated conclusively that a
large majority of the people was
drawn by curiosity. and not by sym
pathy. Delaware Republicans have a
majority of names on the registration
books, and they will have a majority ol
the votes in the ballot-hoxes. Presi-
dent Mckinley, by his wise and states
manlike conduct Of the business OF the
