datory epithets ito hurl alt Willard

Democratic State Central Committee.

Democratic watchers should be ON
hand at every registration office in
Kent county during the hours of regis
tration. 1T is stated many strange
negroes have made their appearance
throughout the county Within the past
few weeks. NO man, white or black,
should be allowed ito register where
reasonable doubt exists, unless he lis
FULLY identified and reputably vouch-
ed for This much the law demands
and DIT is mot too much to require. The
coming election must not be leopard
lied in advance by fraud.

THE TICKET.

The ticket named by Mr.. Addicks
and ratified by his men in the servile
snap convention of last Monday is a
typical Addicks ticket lit would be
almost impossible to select a ticket
which could more thoroughly and dis
Itinctively stand for MIR. Addicks, his
political methods and ambition. Mr.
Addicks, ito be sure, made some pre-
tense of recognizing the Regulars,
and the names of five Regulars appear
upon the ticket he had ratified by his
servile snap convention. But they
are named for positions with very lit
tie patronage or political power.
Messrs. Capelle, Hayes and Swain are
nominated for Presidential electors,
and i'm the event of their acceptance
and election they would merely go
through the formalilty of casting the
three votes of this State for Mckinley
and Roosevelt. In addition ito THE
Electors, the Regulars are offered the
candidates for State Treasurer and
Auditor. Even these few dry crumbs
may be snatched away, for the servile
snap convention gave Mr.. Alice power,
at his own sweet will, ito depose them
and name others in their stead
Everything else lis gobbled up by
Mr.. Addicks for his own personal and
political followers, nominations for
Governor, Lieutenant-G Governor, Rep
resentative in Congress, both long and
short terms, Attorney General and In
surance Commissioner.
The three important nominations
for Governor, Attorney General and
long and short term Congressman
are given to close personal, political
and business associates of Mr.. Ad-
dicks. The candidates for Governor
and Representative in Congress are
his strong personal friends, two OF
his foremost political lieutenants and
directors in his Bay State Gas Com
pany. The candidate for Attorney
ie,
sci, THE attorney for the Union Repub-
lican party in legal contests and the
attorney for the Bay State Gas Com
pany.
Against these candidates, personally,
we have nothing ito say. They are
not without their pleasing personal
qualities. Nor do we deny THE ability
and shrewdness of some of these cam
didates, though such ability would
certainly not make their election less
dangerous.
This ticket is thoroughly AN Ad-
dicks ticket, named in a most objec-
tionable and offensive manner. 1t
will prove obnoxious Ito the people of
the State, including thousands of Re-
pubhcans. If Mr.. Addicks and Mr.
Alice should have the courage to keep
iIt in the field and offer lit to the voters
of Delaware next November, 1T will
be defeated by tremendous majority

MIR. ADDICKS' RECEPTION.

MIR. ADDICKS' RECEPTION.
To call the gathering which as
sembled in Kent County's Court House
ION Monday a State Convention, as
political assemblages of this character
are known in Delaware, would be a
misnomer. The manner of its an
nouncement, the snap, hap-hazard
mode by which all the preliminaries
were arranged robs lit of THE dignity
which should and always does ATTEND
the calling and arranging for Stale
gathering of the Representatives of a
political party in this State. 1t was
plainly IA reception where Mr.. Ad-
dicks, as leader of THE Union Repub-
lican forces, was the centre of attrac-
tion, and where his followers, on those
of them who could be hastily gathered
together ION a forty-eight hours invi-
tation, assembled ITO learn and do his
will.
There was an object in the gather
ing, it is true, palpable and promi-
nent, but whether that object was at
tained is conumdrum THAT will only
be solved on August %, when 1.-THE
other wing of the Republican party
will meet in convention to either en-
.dorse or ignore the work of Mondays s
reception. A ticket was selected DUR
ing the felictous proceedings of the
day, which had been in the main fore
Swallowed weeks before. If the senti-
mentS expressed by the opposition
wing during the incubating process of
this ticket, go for aught, the members
Of that wing are not likely ito tumble
over each other in their eagerness to
rally Ito its support.
However .the obsequies are nome of
burs. No invitations Ito ATTEND and
participate i'm THE affair drifted into
the Democratic camp. All the amuse-
ment and pleasure derived were COR
rallied by the elect of the Union per-
suasion. There was a selfishness in
this which extended itself to the ticket
selected. Speaking of the ticket, from
the inside come rumors that the Con-
gressional nomination had Stirring
TIED to- it. Meaning mo doubt, in
boulevard vernacular, that the gentle
man named for this position is to be
prepared Ito step down and out when
he feels "a tug at the political string.
We are inclined to believe that there
may be foundation for this rumor.
This belief is strengthened and deep
ened by the peculiar environments
surrounding the entire affair, and with
us it extends Ito other parts of the
ticket lit was mainly built ON the
marionette order, and the chances are
that before the wires of the balance of
the Republican conventions to be held
are done vibrating there will be sever
al ddsappearances from THAT ticket
Twas an enjoyable reception, "a nice
little outing, gave an opportunity fo~
mutual admiration and felicltatlon,
and above and beyond all the follow
ers had opportunity to greet their
leader. Twas this and nothing more.

vite sparks OF fire to join the cyclone.
The bucket brigade, however, amid
the frightened CALCULATIONS of the
women in that immediate neighbor-
hood, quenched the blaze before it
could get under much headway. The
loss is slight. The fire started in some
trash in the back yard,

both morning and evening, the vast
and highly intelligent congregation Of
First Presbyterian church, was most
royalty entertained by the eminent
rvfolInist, j. w. Philips, of Pittsburg,
Pa, who rendered two of his violin
Rellgisos. The morning production
washis own composition in the form
Of aduet, and was, without doubt, one
OF the most soul stirring compositions
and renderings ever performed out Of
the greater cities. Truly the per-
former and composer was thoroughly
obllyious to himself, while impressing
theaudience that he was enthused by
his own nature and played as II dictat-
edt9 by the leader of the Heavenly
choir. At the same time It was vlsi-
bly, manifest that the audience assem-
bled was under some divine magnetic
influence. AT night he delivered
solo, also his own production. During
its deliverance eyes were filed with
tears as the sweet and musical cadences
fell upon the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

sions upon the audience made by the
King OF Instruments in the hands OF
such competent performer.
