REACHING CONCLUSIONS.

NINE out Of ten men in this State who
have arrived at the age OF twenty one
years, and have kept pace with political
history of recent making, are morally
.rtain that bribery and political corrup- /
ton have prevailed in Delaware. The |
difficulty has been to make 1t legally |
certain and thus bring about the con |
viction nf the offenders. When boasts |
are made that many thousands OF dol |
lars have been spent by one man the
public has proper right to reach it's
own coLclusiona.- Morning News.
Yes but this contladicts what the
News said few days ago. There is no
doubt about it. bribery and political
corruption have prevailed in Delaware"
the Democratic party has been in con.
troll OF the politics of this State for
good many years. That this party kept
itself in control OF the State by bribery
and corruption is moral certainty, the
certainty OF which rests upon available
testimony and evidence. The proofs of
this have been accumulating in the
Morning N5ws office for nearly twenty
years, and the records of it are there
now. But this is not what the News
meant, or means, by its reference to
bribery and corruption. 1t was express
ing belief born of its prejudices. Of a
thing it wants to believe, but OF which
it confesses it has no evidence and Of
which its belief rests on "merely gos-
SIP" The insincerity of this is appar-
ent. The News has ceased to condemn
Democratic politica! corruption and
bribery, of which there can be no ques-
tion, against which there can be no
truthful defence, and has given its help
to divide the Republican party and de-
feat ito continue in power the party oi
. undeniabe political bribery and corrup-
tion-lpon basis confessed to be
"merely gossip" This is Confession
that the News has preferred gossip tc
truth: has avoided exposing and con
J demning the substance OF political evi
in the senseless chase of shadow, o
which it had no knowledge, no informa
tion, but had formed its conclusions
upon "merely gossip"-gossip emanat
ing from opponents Of the Republican
party and vended to injure individual
Republicans and defeat the party. In
that it has been colleague and colaborel
with gossipy smirchers of regulations
and assassins of character. The News
has not only made charges of bribery anC
corruption upon what it confesses to b'
"merely gossip" but has attempted tc
fasten that charge upon some one, by
inference and inaendo, whom it dare
not name, but designates as lone man. b
That is cowardly-is contemplate.
No one denies the right of the public
to reach its own conclusions about any
thing. What we do deny is the right o
newspaper pretending to be respect
able and reputable, to mislead the pub
lie by repetition of what it knows to bs
"merely gossip" and thereby prevent
the public from reaching right conclu
sion'.

nublicans have cast one falf Of the ke-
pubIican vote of the county, and the
present indications are favorable to
very large incrt ase OF the Union Repue-
lican vote, assuring to the Union Repup-
lcan ticket more than three-fourths oil
the whole Republican vote OF the State
Let us repeat here that the Anti-Ad-
dicks Republicans have reports IN their
possession that substantia;e what we
say. If they will tell the truth about it,
in the interest Of Republican success,
they will admit it.
These are the conditions. What do
they suggest? What does an analysis OF
these conditions prove? Clearly they sug-
gest that Republican victory, if won at
all, must be won by the Union Repub-
lican party. The analysis proves that
the utmost the Anti-Addicks Repuol-
cans can do is to defeat the Union Re
publican electoral ticket, the State
ticket, and the county ticket in New
Castle county. Ia view OF the possibility
OF their being able to do this the Anti
Addicksites are demanding that Dir. J..
| EdSard Addieks retire from the leader
ship Of the Union Republican party, and
get out Il the politics Of the State, and as
penalty for his reiisa TO do that, ior
the rel lsAl Of the Union R'ru1l cans to
permit II his political ostiaclstn, these
! Anti A3Gckeiles, who cannot carry one
cyunty ia the St'te for their ticket,
reaten to defeat the Union Republican
ticket and give the electoral vote OF the
State to the Democrats-to give them al
the State offices and all the county Of
fees in this county. They refuse, utterly
) to accept any reasonable and honorable
proffers for uniting the Republican vote
OF the State.
In such a condition there is but ont
course open to loyal, sincere Republican,
to enlist for this campaign under tn
3 Union Republican banner. Under
now are more three-fourths OF the Re
: publican voters of this State. They ar
! going to stay there. Under it they hay
. won all the Republican victories won il
y this State. They know that they ca
u win two counties and elect majority
y any possible Republican delegation i
y the next State Legislature with a yer
=. strong probability Of being able to ele'
ie two Republican United States Senator
u Figure on the situation as you viii

e. say otherwise say what is untrue-wh

cans, is Union Republican politics.

POLITICS OF THE HOUR.

Tie present and pressing question in
local Republican politics is to get the
Republican voters in line for saving
What las been won, in previous cam
pAgns, and winning decisive and per-
mauent victory over the Democrats at
the coming general election. No other
question is worth moments considera
ton, except as it promotes the accom-
plishment oi this result.
That is the intent OF all good Republi.
can politics and the desire of all sincere
Republicans. The question OF the hour
is:
How is this to be assured?
There are we'll defined possibilities
that make this result probable under
a'most any conditions that can pow be
reasonably anticipated. There is no
doubt about the success OF the Union Re-
publican party in Kent and Sussex coun-
ties. The next county officers and a
large majority OF the Legislative repre-
sentatives elected in those counties will
be Union Republicans. A majority OF
she votes cast in those counties for State
officers will be cast for Union Republ'.
cln candidates. That must be true
or there ia no hope for Republican
victory in Delaware at the next election.
That it will be true is assured first by the
election returns from those counties fol
every election in the State since 1892
1t is assured by the superb Union Repub
lican organization in those counties
That organization has won il every cam
paign since the date mentioned. 1t il
still intact, unimpaired and, notwith
standing the denials of that fact, il
ready to win again. The facts, as VIZ
here state them, relative to previous
campaigns are undeniable. The truth o
what we say about present condition.
does not depend, alone, upon informa
tion sought and promulgated by Unior
Republicans. A canvass of the State
made for, and in the interest of the Anti
Addicks Republicans proves what We
say here TO be true. We know who
maue tue CdHNaeoJ au0 NC nave TIC us
ures Of the port. We know just what
shat report advised. 1t affirmed what
we say here about the conditions in
Kent and Sussex counties-the Union
Republicans will carry those counties
for county officers, members OF the leg
islative and give majority vote fol
their State ticket and the National Re-
publican ticket.
Ia New Castle county the Union Re-
pnbIicans have lost nothing. Assertions
10 the contrary are untrue. They are
not made in the interest of Republican
victory in November but to dishearten
R'publicans and continue division Of
the voters Of the county. The only elec-
sion returns available for basis Of
Judgment as to the conditions in New
Castle county show that the Union Re.

Randall, at Beirut writes to the state
department concerning the urgent need

says that through the efforts Of Con

GETTING READY 10 PARADE.


Arrangements for the j. Edward Ad-
dicks Republican Clubs participation
in the Republican Convention parade,
are being rapidly completed. The origi-
nal idea was to limit the clubs march
ing membership to 800 men. 1t now
appears to be impossible to keep to that
limit. The prospects are that this club
will be one of the largest visiting clubs
in the parade. The movement to form
this club, it's immediate popularity, sug-
eests revival of the old-time Republi-
can enthusiasm in this city and State,
when Republicans illuminated their
houses, hung out their fags and
thousands of men were marching
