Referring TO a humorous allusion by

enemies eat crow and swear they like
it before no stops fighting. Better send
him to tho Senate and have done with
it. There will be no peace in Della
ware until he has been given his quid
pro quo. "
Here is an interesting question. What
is the "quid pro quo' that is thus as
serted TO bo'Mr. Addioks due? Ii it a
matter Of money contributed towards
carrying elections 10 Delaware
No other construction can be placed
upon the assertion that there will be nc
peace in Delaware Unit! Mr.. Addicks
has been given his guild pro QUO. y
II simply means that he demands at

Delaware for the Republican ticket
10 days gone 10y, 1t was the custom O
Delaware to send her ahiest men TO th'

their power to Determine that DO maj

At its closing session, Friday AFTER
noon, the Democratic National Con-
vention at Kansas City threw of the
yoke of Bryan domination and took it's
own course with respect to the candi-
date for Vice President by nominating
Adlai Ewing Stevenson OF Illinois.
Mr.. Stevenson was elected Vice
President with Mr.. Cleveland in 1892,
and for this reason alone Is doubtless
more obnoxious TO Mr.. Bryan than any
man that could have been selected.
1t is we'll known that Mr.. Bryan.
true to his Populist inclinations, was
in favor of the nomination of Charles
A. Towre of Minnesota, the Free
Silver Republican who was nominated
with Bryan by the Populist National
Convention at Sioux Falls. The entire
Populist aggregation suited Mr.. Bryan
to nicely. and be was earnestly de-
sirous that the Democfatic Convention
should accept it without the slightest
alteration. The latter body yielded to
him with respect Co his own nomi-
nation and rpafirmation Of the
anarchistio Chicago platform with a
specific declaration In favor of free
silver coinage; but when it came to
making Republican the Democratic
nominee for Vice. President, The con
yention for once became its own master.
and Towue received less than hun.
dred votes. Bryan'o disappointment IL
attested by the pcriunotory praise be
accorded to Stevenson. "TowBe." be
said. would have Strengthened the
ticket where there is fusion between
the Democrats, Populists ard Ere,
Silver Republicans. and in thes'
States Mr.. Bryan evidently telievei
lies the surest prospects OF his success.
SO far as Democracy is concerned
the Democratic ticket, like that Of thu
( Republican party, is Of the kangaroo
variety, with its greatest strength i,
& its tail. 1t is doubtful, however,

Cleveland and Stevenson carried Illinoi
by about 10000 plurality. but fou
years ago Bryan was beaten there by
plurality Of 1874, 49s. And as voter
when they cast their ballots have i
mind the candidate for President, an
not the candidate for Vice-Presideni
II is hard to see how Mr.. Steyenso
can make Mr., Bryan any stronger |
Illinois in 1900 than he proved to b
In 1896.
And so. as far as probable results al
concerned, the convention might {
well have given Mr.. Bryan the Repui

A New York City correspondent
writes that ex-Congressman John De
Witt Warner, an independent Demo-
crat, is opposed to free silver. but re-
CARDS il as dead issue. While he is
sorry that the Democratic party is
going to carry the corpse of this issue
in its campaign procession, be Is,
nevertheless, going TO vote for Bryan
on the anti-imperialism issue. Another
anti-imrerialist, Z. NJ. Ordway, secre-
tary of Acknowledgements League,
also says that be is going to vote for
Bryan, and he behaves the Indian
apolis conference will endorse Bryan.
On the other hand, Charlton I. Lewis,
vice president of the league, thinks
that imperialism is not now the su.
creme issue, but that silver is. and,
therefore, he intends to support Nc.
Kinley. Peter B. Olney, brother o.
Cleveland's Secretary of State, anc
himself Democrat of high standing,
is in doubt, and thinks there are many
Democrats like himself who cannot
decide until the campaign gets Older
and time shall chow which is the rea
issue, silver or imperialism. Comp
rroller Coler said: Free silver is al

will prove the truth OF this statement

The States which, in the committee
on resolutions of the National Demo-
cratic Convention. voted against silver
have 287 electoral votes, and in the
Presidential election of 1896 had O
popular vote of 9,845, 005. The States
which voted for silver have 1873
electoral votes, with popular vote in
1896 of 4,1l8,030 On the basis of the
electoral vote, therefore, tho vote
against silver ut Kansas City was
nearly two to one, while on tho basis
of the popular vote it was more than
two to one Mr.. Bryan must receive
224 electoral votes in order to win 10
November. The States which forced a
silver plank into the Kansas City plat
form have only l53 electoral votes, in
Guiding Maine, Massachusetts, Yer.

maiorities in 1896. The Democratic

There is great deal of sound read
ing IN the platform adopted by the
Democratic National Convention, and
considered rs o literary production,
merely, it reads far better than the
hodge podge of declarations prepared
by Lemmy Quigg and adopted by the
Republicans at Philadelphia. Its de-.
nuneistion Of Imperialism, militarism,
expansion. the war in the Philippines,
the juggling Of the administration with
the people OF Cuba, the outrage i'm
posed upon the people of Porto Rico,
and the exactions of tariff protected
trusfe is splendid. 1t Is a shame that
its symmetry is marred by tho free
silver coinage plank, ths "poppysock'
resolution Of sympathy with the Boer,
