LOOKING TO ADDlcKs

EVERY day produces fresh evidence
OF the bitter animosities which disturb
the serenity Of the Democratic leaders
Many OF them admit privately that
their only hope of victory this Fall lies
IN the continued division OF the Re-
publican party. They are looking to
Addicks this year, as in the past, to
save them from defeat, and hope that
he will persist in his refusal to permit
his State Committee to ratify the
nomination Of DR.. l.. II. Ball for Con-
gress and Purnell B. Norman for state
auditor.
Extreme bitterness attended the
Democratic primaries in this county
and the knife is out Of it's sheath in
more than one district where the
Democrats hoped to win. In Kent
county the old Wolcott and Salisbury
factions are at dagger's point and
watching each other closely, with Sen
ator Kenney endeavoring to play the
role OF the peacemaker. During sew
eral weeks bitter fight has been going
on in Sussex county, and it reached its
climax in Georgetown yesterday when
the county convention set up a ticket
that is veritable red rag to hundreds
OF Democrats. In every county words
Of dissatisfaction are heard, and II the
plan OF harmony outlined and offered
by the Republican State Committee
were adopted by the Union Republican
State Committee there would be little
left for the Democrats. But the Adj
dicks cabal persists in blocking har-
mony, and the delay only can be meas
ured by the patience OF the Union Re
publican voters, who. we believe, are
as desirous Of harmony, one ticket and
victory as are the Republican leaders
and voters.

General John NJ. Palmer. the dis
tinguished citizen. soldier and Demo
crat Of Illinois. who four years ago led
tho Sound Money DEMOCRATS OF the
country IN their heroic and effective
fight against Bryan and Free Silver,
died yesterday at his residence, in
Springfield. He was a man OF strong
convictions and his uprightness of
character was recognized and admitted
even by his political adversaries. He
was a man Of the people and was
known to them Familiarity as the "old
Roman" His first appearance in poll
tics was as a disciple OF Stephen A.
Douglass. Throughout his eventful
career he manifested that independence
OF character which eliminated in his
candidacy against Bryan in 1896. BY
his sudden death the entire nation is
bereaved. for he was one of those rare
products OF Democracy--a man who
believed that the nations interests
were paramount to the interests OF the
Democratic party.

MO SCUTTLE POLICY

II President Mckinley were to act
on Democratic advice he would scut-
tie out OF Cuba, Porto Rico, the Phil
ippines and China. Fortunately for
the nation and the honor OF its flag,
he is not only an American, but also
Republican. These two affiliations,
one national the other partisan, but
both patriotic, serve TO make him ex-
actly what the American people need
in the executive chair in this emer-
gency. He is honest, sincere, self-re-
liant and firm. He has an abiding
faith in the strength Of the country.
and an earnest belief that his policy
is approved by a large majority Of it's
people.
He will remain in Cuba until its peo-
pie have a stable form OF government
honestly administered for the peoples
good by agents selected by the people
themselves. He will remain in Porto
Rico until it suits the mutual interests
Of this country and the people to turn
over the island to the natives. The
Philippines passed into the keeping of
the United States by conquest and
purchase, and the troops now there will
not be withdrawn until civil govern
ment has been established, and the
authority Of the United States fully
recognized by Aguinaldo and every
other insurgent now under arms. With
respect to China, It is the policy oi
President Mckinley to protect Ameri
can life, property, interests and honOi
against not only the Chinese, but alsI
against any and all comers, by lega
ton guard If possible, by an army ant
navy If necessary.

There was a time when a Democratic
nomination in Delaware was equivalent
to an election. and 1t would have been
well for the Democracy Of the state IL
such an unequal condition never had

commend the following extract from {

dicks to DR.. Ball paramount TO Repub-

KEEP II OuT OF POLITICS


In another part Of the paper Will be
found copious extracts from a pamph-
let written by Walter Morris, cashier
OF the Farmers Bank in Dover, and
printed under Salisbury auspices for
circulation in this state. It is evident
that Mr. Morris. whose position should
keep him out Of factional and partisan
strife. is being used by certain Demo
cratic politicians who hope to profit
In this election by creating an anti
railroad sentiment among the voters.
Being afraid to do it themselves, they
evidently have made Mr. Morris their
advertising agent and scapegoat.
There are some statements OF fact in
the pamphlet but, taken as a whole,
Il is lacking in both sense and decency.
Some Of the unfair and undignined ref
erences to men and measures bear the
earmarks Of the dictation OF the pot
house politicians OF Kent who have
ends TO serve; while the doggerel con-
tained in the pamphlet inspires us TO
suggest that Mr.. Morris abandon his
work as the pamphgeteer OF a Demo
cratic faction and devote himself to
reducing the accounts in the general
ledger Of the Farmers Bank TO poetry
and those in the individual ledger to
blank verse.
or itself, Mr.. Morris pamphlet
amounts to nothing II is too much o.
a scresd, and too little Of a dispas
sionate discussion OF our state finances

voters. But. however indecent and un
dignined the pamphlet, it raises a Sc
rious question, which is: Does tn

intend to go into politics through il
cashier, and, IL so, to what extent an
for whose beneht?" The purpose Of Nj

We should think that the experien,
Of the First National Bank Of Dow

that institution and its officers as 4
removed from partisan and faction
work as possible.
There was a time when the First n
tional Bank of Dover was regarded
one Of the soundest and most co
servative institutions Of its kind in {
state. Finally its cashier became
terested in factional politics, and to
a prominent part in advancing the
terests of a faction. Then his rece

best that have ever been made, and the
honesty and good character Of every

be no more treachery should Addicks'

by Farlow, Clark and King in 1899. a"
We don't know about that. Farlow,
King and Clark were above suspicion
when they were nominated; they were
above suspicion when they were elect
ed; they were above suspicion until the

in what particular? It is giving un-
