1T IS ABOUT TIME.
From the New Castle News.

From the New Castle News.
1T is about time that public Offices,
municipal and State, especially, where
run on strictly business principles, with
the spoils system out of 1t entirely; and
for this reason we think the Democratic
party will go farther and fare worse-or,
rather the people will fare worse-if they
fail to recognize the rare qualities as a
business man to be had in Peter j. Ford
of Wilmington, for Governor. He has
demonstrated his ability as an executive
in great many business enterprises, and
there is not a single smirch upon his
methods. 1t is the height Of au-
surdity for anyone in these days of liber.
ality to object to him on religious
grounds. First of all, Mr.. Ford is man
of principle. 1t doesn't matter if he is a
Catholic, a Methodist or Presbyterian
These ought not to be any considerations
whatsoever, and they will not be when
the final test comes. The time has gone
by when bigotry will rule in the nomi-
nation of political candidates. All the
voters will require is man fully
equipped to serve them as chief magis-
ira with dignity and honor"

''If Col. du Pont will agree to refuse an
election to the Senate, as prelude to
harmony, will Mr.. Addicks do the same?
Cor, if the Regulars will pledge them
selves not to support Col. du Pont, will
the Union Republicans make the same
pledges regarding Mr.. Addicks?"-News
and Advertiser.
No, emphatically, no. We don't have
90. We have the word of the News that
Col. du Pont has never been candidate
and is not now candidate. The Colonel
therefore, has nothing to refuse. Mr..
Addicks has. The Colonel has not the
slightest show of an election, while Mr..
Addicks is named for a sure winner.
The News proposition reminds us of a
free for all race at country fair. Among
the entries were plow pony and
thoroughbred flyer. when the horses
appeared on the track there was as
is customary general inspection
and comparison OF the racers by
the crowd. While exercising up and
down the track, the drivers of the pony
and the thoroughbred drew alongside Of
each other and entered into friendly
chat, during which each driver continued
the inspection. Finally the driver, who
was also the owner OF tile pony, was
heard to say: "Well, tell you, don't
like racing anyway; the day is hot, the
track is rough my horse is little lame
and amt got much wind, and worse
than all, whoever loses this race'll be
laughed at and I'd just as leave not try
it. | tell you what I'll do. If you draw
your horse I'll draw mine, what do yon
say"' But the conversation was oyer
heard and reported to the grand stand,
and before the driver OF the thorough
bred could make reply the grand stand
and the quarter stretch took up the cry,
'sRacel race! race! no buhco game here,
came here to see race and no fake"
The crowd yelled, MAKE the race I"
Finally the judges were appealed to.
They decided that the grand stand had
some rights that must be respected The
bell sounded for the horses to score up.
1t was seen that the thoroughbred had
taken the pole, the plow pony was
hidden in. cloud of dust. No one
ever knew where or how he had disap-
peared.

ernors. Colonel Roosevelt came first.
He wore an evening suit and his famous
brown sombrero made famous by the
Rough Riders. 1t was combination
costume at once original and picturesque.
Among the last of the guests to arrive
was Mr.. Hill, who was conventionally
attired, even to his silk hat.
"Ah" exclaimed Colonel Roosevelt in
his peculiar staccato manner, as he grasp
ed Mr.. Hills hand, 'now we have with
us real Albany swell. Governor Hill
is the only man here tonight with silk
hat"
"I've got a slouch hat myself" re-
turned Mr. Hill softly, "but l left it at
home. I've given up wearing it since
went out of the advertising business"
Then dinner was announced and the
remainder'of the evening passed pleas

MORE OFFICES THAN MEMBERS
From the Milford Chronicle.

From the Milford Chronicle
The only political organization that
ever existed. which had more offices to
give than it had resident members to re-
ceive them, is the "bolters," or Anti
Addicks Republicans OF Delaware. A
few, one or two, who had remained true
TO Republicanism, saw this condition
and their pressing needs or cupidity
caused them to forsake the cause they
knew to be just and right, for one OF the
small plums. To offset this, others who
went off with the ''bolters,' or anti Ad.
dicksites, have thrown OFF their aleg-
lance, and are now ready to support the
only organization in Delaware which
fights Democrats and has beaten them.
