This is day of travail and anxiety
for the Republican factions of Della
ware. To-day the Republican Com
mittee is sitting as a high court at
Philadelphia, to hear the claims of the
clashing factions, and it is expected
it will decide which of the two sets
of Delaware Republican delegates is
entitled to seats in the Convention
which meets on Tuesday next. Despite
their boasting it is very evident that
the leaders of each faction are ON
tenter hooks. This is made manifest
by columns of space their respective
organs are devoting to data to bolster
up their claims to recognition, and the
manner in which they are rehashing
history to prove that each is the
simon-pure real stuff Republican
party, and that the other is but a
counterfeit make-believe, and very
poor counterfeit at that. The battle is
a warm ONE and decidedly dangerous
too, for gas and powder are both very
prominently identified with the mix
up. The fashlight of development

ings and methods of each side, thrown

Have you flowers in your yard?
Do you keep beer in the cellar?
Or prefer to rush the can?
If you do, you'll have to tell it

Have you got all kinds of money,
And how often do you sleep?
Do you think all jokes are funny?
Would you rather laugh or weep?
In summer do you swelter
Or prefer to use a fan?
If you do you'll have to tell it
To the census man.
Have you ever been arrested?
Is your reputation good?
Have you had your optics tested?
Do you wear a wooden hood?
Do you get fresh country vegetables,
Or buy them by THE can?
If you do you'll have to tell it
To the census man.
Can you live upon your salary?
Does your wife make money go?
Do you sit up in the gallery
When you go to see the show?

When the snail-like horse cars ran?

INSTRUCTION OF DELEGATES.

Some newspapers in the State are
opposing our suggestion that the dele
gates from Delaware to the Democratic
National Convention should be in
structed TO vote for the nomination of
William J. Bryan. Yet we fail to see
the force of their objections, while
there are strong reasons why the dele
gates should be instructed.
What argument is offered against in
structing the delegates? None, so far
as we have seen. Those opposed to it
simply say send good men as delegates
to Kansas City and leave them "un-
trammeled." AS to the suggestion
about sending good men, we heartily
second it. We are in favor of sending
good men, and we want them to be
good representative Democrats, who
understand and will honestly voice
the wishes of the party in Delaware.
But that is no argument against in
structing. 1t is just as easy to instruct
good men as bad men. What is meant
by the talk about leaving them "un-
trammeled?" These delegates will go
to Kansas City as the representatives
of the Democratic voters of Delaware.
If the Democrats know what they wish
their representatives to do, why not
tell them? The talk about leaving
them ''untrammeled" simply means
that if two or three delegates can be
chosen secretly opposed to Mr.. Bryan,
they may go to Kansas City free to
plot and vote against his nomination.
We made no suggestion that the
delegates be instructed as to platform,
but simply as to Mr.. Bryan. If Mr.. |
Bryan is, as we believe, the choice of
an overwhelming majority of the Dem
ocrats in every county of the State, it |
can do no harm for the Convention to
say so and to instruct it's delegates to
vote for him.
Other States, including our neigh
bors in the east, have been instructins
FOR Bryan. Why not keep in line? H
is sure to be nominated. Why not
show that the party in Delaware is
back of him, as it undoubtedly is?
Such instruction could not fail to be
gratifying to Mr. Bryan, especially if
by so doing the State Convention
should assure him two-thirds of all the
delegates to the National Convention
in his favor.
1t is not unreasonable to construe
opposition to instructing as opposition
to Bryan. If the State Convention
favors him, let it say so.

THE PRIMARIES.

Next Saturday the primaries will be
held for the selection of delegates to
the State Convention. Every Demo
crat should be present and aid in the
election of delegates who will send to
Kansas City men representing the true
sentiment of the Delaware Democracy.
There may be an opposition to Mr..
Bryan, weak in numbers, but strong
in leadership. 1t is, therefore, import
ant that every Representative District
should send to the Convention strong
men, understanding the wishes of the
majority of Democratic voters and cap
able of carrying them out. Attend the
primaries and send your best men to
the Convention.
