lifeless in chair, with Colts re-
volver still tightly held in his nerve

A letter had been left on the dresser,
addressed to his wife, and telling sim
ply and strongly OF the i'll health and
despair which had led him to commit
suicide

The Issue In Delaware

From Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
The citizens of Delaware are now
confronted with a situation that is ex-
tremely rare, and in order to meet it
squarely, the voters of the time-honOr-
ged commonwealth must place the love
inherent-above everything else. The
eyes of the nation are upon them, and
the searching gaze of a people who rec
ognize right rather than might will be
directed thither until after the Novem-
Der election. There never was a time
when displays Of true patriotism, true
manhood, and true citizenship were as
necessary as now, for the control of the
state by a man who became a resident
thereof-and the word is used advis-
edly-for the sole purpose Of political
aggrandizement, is threatened. Honest
endeavor is one thing, but an arbitrary
inscriptions, and selfish attempt to Sc
cure an office that is too exalted by far
for the seeker is quite another. Heroic
cases demand heroic treatment, and
despite the action of the Republican
National Convention in recognizing
one faction to the exclusion of another

prevented the election of a senator,
and now, as a result, the coming Cen
eral Assembly will be called upon to-
elect two men to these high positions.
Is it any wonder that men who were
honored in Delaware before the gas
man was ever heard of are doubtfui OF
the peacefulness of the immortal John
NJ. Claytons soul? Are not recent
events and the existing condition of
things enough to make this statesman
OF statesmen and true Delawarean be-
come restless in his grave at Dover?
The state is entering upon the most
important political campaign in its his
tory. In addition to the two United
States senators, a congressman, gov
ernor, lieutenant-governor, attorney
general and other state officials will
be chosen. and the efforts of Addicks
and his followers will be correspond
ingly vigorous. TO the credit of the
Regular Republicans, however, it is an
nOunced that they will maintain their
organization and work against the
gasman as of old. Now that the Demo-
cratic State Committee has organized
with Willard Salisbury as chairman,
is il not possible for the respectable
citizens of Delaware, as citizens before
party, to combine with the Democrats
and thus again defeat Addicks'. selfish
schemes? Two representative Demo-
Gratis in the upper House of Congress
would be. at this juncture, a solution
which the Regular Republicans should
hope for, and perhaps such an outcome
would rebound to the benefit of the Du-
Pont men. 1t certainly would be a
death-blow to Addicks and Addlcksism.
Perhaps the stringent election
laws whereby violators are tried before
the court and not by jury will be ele-
ments for good in the state this Fall;
but the opponents Of the gasman have
much work ahead of them, and they
must perform 1t in a manner that will
be creditable to themselves, to the
state, and to the country.
