CONVENTION OF REGULARS.
An Interesting Political Event Although of
Not Much Importance.

The EUery EUeni'ag, in speaking of
the State Convention last Wednesday
of the Dupont element of the Republi-
can party says:
"The State Convention of the Regu
lar Republicans, was an interesting
political event, although not much
importance was attached to it. The
chief feature of the proceedings was
the enthusiastic endorsement of Presi-
dent Mckinley.
"While the convention made the
suggestion of movement to unite the
two factions of the Republican party,
it did not go to the extent of openly
Offering the olive branch of peace to
the Addicks faction. 1t contented It's
self with authorizing its State commit
tee to take such action as may best
promote Republican success in the
coming campaign, by using every
proper effort, in its judgement, to the
naming, as far as practicable, of candi-
dates who will receive the support OF
all persons opposed to Democratic
rule This declaration is in the direc-
tion of union of the two factions upor

W. c. T. U. TEMPERANCE NOTES.
Prof. Atwater's Statements Before the Ma
tiOnlI Educational Association


edited by W. c. T. L. Press Superintendent
Professor Atwater, whose opinions
concerning the value of alcohol as a
food have been widely published, made
the following statements in an address
before the National Education Asso-
citation which met in Chicago few
weeks ago:
Doubtless many people believe that
they are benefited by alcoholic bev-
erages in moderate amounts, but | can
see no justification in the claim that
moderate drinking is generally useful
and there is no doubt that it may be
harmful on account of the excess to
which it may lead.
"There are business considerations as
well as those of health that strongly
favor temperance. The boy who wants
to make his way on a railroad or in a
large establishment can better secure
employment if he is an abstainer.
Already many establishments refuse
to employ men who are addicted to
drink. A man does not live for him
self alone what will be the effect of
his example and what the effect of his
attidue?
"The rule of conduct in this respect is
for him to decide. You and | may
have the right to advise him, but the
decision is between himself and his
own conscience. An ambitious and
right-minded boy wants to be a com
petent and useful man. | think he
should be taught that it would be bet
ter for the community at large if there
were less drinking, that the commu-
nifty is influenced by the example OF
strong and good men, and that his
, own personal infence will be better il
7 it is used on the side of temperance. -
We would recommend no drinking
, instead of ''less" for the good of the
community, and believe that "a mans
own personal influence" is always bet
ter, when it is used on the side of tota
o abstinence from all intoxicants.
The Union Signdi, to which we arr
indicted for Professor Atwater's ad
e dress, will soon print Mrs. Mary II
d Hunts reply to it in defence of the Sci
: entitic Temperance textbooks, now il
{ use in the public schools.

Harmony Complete.

The convention worked like we'll
ciled machine. There was not ripple
of dissent to anything. Col. Henry A.
Dupont was in absolute control.
"Want- win" Republicans like Will
liam S. H1lles and Sheriff Taylor, who
were knocked out in the primary cleo
tion for delegates, and H. G. Knowles,
chairman of the Wilmington commit
tee, who was quietly shelved by the
DUPONT men, were in the convention
as spectators The Higgins men, too,
if there were any, were subdued.
There were rumors of plan to elect
ex-senator Higgins one of the national
delegates, but it is said Mr.. Higgins
himself rejected this plan. Mr.. Hilles
who aspires to the United States Sen
ate, and who is supposed to have a
harmony plan up his sleeve, appeared
much disappointed with the cOnven'
ton, and afterward remarked to some
of the delegates that he was heartily
ashamed of the gathering of his party
He said it was the first time he ever
saw a Republican convention of which
he was so ashamed. The convention
he remarked, had not proposed sin
gle practical plan of harmony.
Rev. J. B. Turner, chaplain of the
last House of Representatives, whC
raised the ire of the Union Republican
legislators by denouncing Addicks
made the opening prayer, and after th'
appointment of committees the cOnven
tion took recess.
After the recess p. Q. Churchman
of the Committee on Credentials
caused enthusiasm by announcing tina
there were no contests. Chas. +
Richards as permanent chairman too
the gavel and made a rousing speech
praising President Mckinley. Will
liam H. Heald was made permanen

Without further ado, Col. Henry A.
Dupont read the platform, which was
heartily cheered.
"We, the Republican party of the
State of Delaware" says the platform,
Through our representatives assem-
bled at Dover, reiterate our fidelity
and devotion to the principles and
purposes of the national Republican
party. With profound satisfaction we
call attention to the unparalleled pros
perity now prevailing in every section
of the country to which the wise finan-
cial and tariff policies of the party
have so largely contributed, and we
unreservedly indorse and praise the
sagacious and patriotic administration
of the national Government by Presi-
dent Mckinley and his constitutional
advisers.
1--WE look back with pride and salts
faction to the patriotism displayed
throughout the country during the
late war with Spain and to the zeal and
enthusiasm with which the people, re-
gardless of party or section, supported
the Government, and we tender oui
most hearty thanks to our brave sol
diers and sailors, both regulars anC
volunteers, for their splendid gallan
try and good conduct.
''The Philippine archipelago and the
island of Puerto Rico, having beer
ceded by Spain under the provision
of the treaty of Paris, we regard as
rightful possessions of the United
States. We deem it to be the impera
tive duty of the nation to give then
the inestimable blessings of good gov
ernment, with the largest share G
self-rule that future conditions ma
seem TO warrant, and to so regulat
their commercial relations with tn
rest of the country that substantii
justice may be rendered to all cor
