dllOu without representation is
tyranny" Is 1t any less so to-day
Milford Democrat.
Again the Democrats are to have
the option Of voting for either a POpu-
list or a Republican. Many of them
will doubtless support Bryan, butt
others will prefer Mckinley. Should
the Democrats name a candidate from
their own ranks they would probably
poll the party's full vote, but if they
endorse the POpulists' choice, they can
no longer successfully appeal to party
loyalty. The effort Of wing to read
the gold men out Of the party is alb
surd, since the dominant faction does
not represent Democracy-as is shown
by their expressed purpose to endorse
the Populist candidate, Bryan
Milford News and Advertiser.
The Middle-of-the-R Readers are oppos-
ed to any fusion with Democrats, but
much the larger number OF POpulistsl
are in favor OF fusion. The trouble
with both of the two great parties
seems to be in settling in vice-presi-

Our town fathers have appointed
a new Board Of Health, and have made
wise selections. We trust that the new
board will understand the responsible
ity that rests upon them, and sec to-
1t that any menace to the health of
the community is removed. BY the
faithful performance of duty the board
can lessen to no little degree the sick
list Of our town during the Summer
season.-Delaware Pilot.
Union Republicans will not forego
their rights. They will be generous;
they will divide the ticket; they will
give the minority more than il has the
rightto demand; they ywill forget politi-
cal animosities, for the sake Of party
unity, but they will not surrender their
manhood at the dictation of an unjust
and illogical -Gecrgetown
Union Republican.
That drawback is nothing more or
less than that gigantic stumbling block
-Addicks. His manipulation Of poll
tics IN the state is causing untold
misery and vexation among the Regu-
lar Republicans. Mr.. Addicks seems
determined to hold out against all en-
treaties for a compromise that practi-
cally means his retirement from poll
tics.-Newark Ledger.
The Democrats of Cecil therefore
may be considered as being in favor
of the nomination Of William Jennings
Bryan upon a modified platform, and
OF an unins.tructed delegation from
this state that will vote for that nomi-
nation. And this is what in all proba-
bility will be the result-Cecil Demo-

I Attorney-General White has answer
OF the charges Of the State Sentinel
4 that he had been a party to abusing
his office by allowing excessive fees
to the witnesses on the election bribery
cases recently tried at Dover. The
charges were such as might be expect
ed from a radical Addicks paper. Nc
81 sensible man believed the charges al

might have aroused.-Sussex Journal.
The National Committee has the
making OF the roll for the National
Convention, and their action gives tho
b Regulars a prima facia right to THEN
seats. It places the Unions in the po-
sition of contestants and they will have
I to fight for the places if they would
obtain them. There has been mucl
running to and fro among the Addicl1
followers this week on account of thil
e. decision OF the committee. but there il
e no chance that 1t will be reversed. TIT
r boast that they would have all or nom
OF the delegates will not be realized
and they will be only too glad to ge
what they can. With the administra
. tion in their favor, the Regulars seen
n content to let well enough alone, know
T. ing that the blame for factional distur
Dances will be charged to the Addick
party and that eventually the latte
