The only hope of the State Demo-
cracy is in couragaously supporting
William j. Bryan, ably sustaining the
great and just principles of the Chicago
and Kansas City platforms and nomi-
mating men of brains and honor. Hav-
ing at heart the welfare Of the whole
people and the success of the true
Democracy, l respectfully suggest to
the voters of Delaware the name of
Joseph E. Holland, Esq.
Mr.. Holland is one of the leading
members of the Methodist Church. a
prominent business man and esteemed
by all who know himA a public speak
er he has few equals and no superior
in Delaware. This was fully demon
strated two months ago in the Will
mington Conference. I was SO FORUM
ate as to have heard him deliver what
was rightly regarded by all present
the most brilliant speech of the whole
session. His mental grasp and moral
perceptibility were and are truly won
derful.
Our next Governor, Joseph E. Hol-

Hon. L. Irving Handy. How's that for
a great ticket?

The Regular Republicans are not vet
compelled to accept Mr.. Addicks and
his leadership. By firmly maintaining
their organization and holding their
forces together, by refusing all afilia-
tion with or recognition of the Addicks
candidates next November as they SO
consistently refused afiliation or politi-
cal association with the Union Repub-
lican delegates in Philadelphia, they
can make sure Of Mr.. Addicks' defeat.
By voting the Democratic ticket they
can make his defeat all the more de-
cisive. The greater the Democratic
victory the more overwhelming will
be the defeat for Mr.. Addicks and his
party.

his nights in applying raw beefsteak

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

The Republican National Convention
completed it's work last Thursday by
nominating William Mckinley for
President and Theodore Roosevelt for
Vice-President.
lit has been plain for several days
that this would be the result. The
work of the convention was all cut and
dried, and the delegates did little more
than formally record the DEGREES of the
bosses.
There has never been serious oppo-
sition ito the denomination of Presi-
dent Mckinley. Though a clean man
personally, and of conceded ability, he
is a satisfactory President and candi-
date to the trusts, monopolies and bos-
ses, the dominating powers in the Re
publican party.
Hanna, now regarded as perhaps the
biggest boss in the boss-ridden Repub-
lican party, did much to make him
President before, and during the pres
ent term has been planning for his re-
nomination and reelection. He had
little trouble in effecting the one; the
other is not likely to prove so easy.
Though there was no open opposition
to Mckinley in the convention, there
was a remarkable lack of enthusiasm.
1t is said to have required the persist
ent and violent efforts of Mr. Hanna
himself Ito secure a demonstration after
the Presidents denomination.
Governor Roosevelt's nomination for
Vice-President was made with some
show of spontaneous enthusiasm. The
leaders doubtless hope that his name
and military. record will arouse some
their party rankso, cmfwyp shrdlu bm
enthusiasm, apparently so dead in their
party ranks. In this they are likely
to be mistaken. Governor Roosevelt
was brave soldier, and we believe
him to be an honest and able man. But
whatever enthusiasm he may arouse
will be simply for Roosevelt and not
for the Republican party and its
national ticket If the ticket should be
elected Roosevelt's part after the cleo
tion, unless Mckinley should die,
would be unimportant He would be
merely the presiding officer of the SEN
ate, without vote except in case of a
tie. And in che event of a vacancy in
the Presidential office, we don't be-
lieye the people would be anxious to
have it filled at this time by Mr..
Roosevelt.
Roosevelt's nomination, like Nc
Kinley's, was largely the work of the
bosses. Platt and Quay seem to have
planned it and to have forced Hanna
to yield.
L is a ticket of the bosses, nominated
by the party of the bosses, but the peo-
pie can defeat it.

Editor Delawarean:

any office within the gift of Della

tious and capable. A prominent mem
ber of the Methodist Church, a large
business man and brilliant and
captivating speaker Take him, all in
all, he's the strongest and best candi-
date in the State. Hows this for a
winning ticket? For Governor, Joseph

mentioned gentlemen let him now

DOVER LEADS In
MAKING BIG INDUSTRIES.
American Nickel Steel Co. Chartered
mere WIll CONTROL Entire
Nickel Steel OuUpur.

by The granting of a char,er here on
wednesday TO 'une American Mckee
Steer Company there was launched an
enterprise whlca according to authentic
sources, will control che envire nickel
steel output in the United STATES.
So broad is its character and 50 sig
nltcant is its Incorporation at chs
particular time tnd. there is good
ground for believing lis officials mean
10 compete with the famous armor
plate trust of Pittsburg for government
work. This in part is borne out by
Uhe fact that under it's character the
company is authorized TO manufacture
armor plate or nickel steel in any form.
The American Nickel Steel Company
lis capitalized at $1,5OOO0O. Its incor-
porators are largely English and
French capitalists, although few
Americans are heavily interested.
Among the latter are several Phila-
delphians whose identity is not yet
disclosed. Colonel B. X. Jamison, Sr.,
prominent banker of that city. is
understood to have represented Europ-
can interests in the transaction.
The company has purchased from the
nickel steel syndicate of London all
American rights to patents covering
the manufacture of nickel steel. This
covers not only the innumerable minor
uses in which nickel steel is employed.
but the manufacture of armor plate as
well, in which nickel steel is the basis
of all modern methods of manufacture.
1t is not without significance that
this company is chartered simultan-
eously with the request of the Navy
for bids on thirty thousand
tons of armor plate. An unusual
feature of Secretary longs call for
bids was the fact that bidders are re-
quired to bind themselves, in case con-
tracts are awarded, to furnish armor
made by any process hereafter discov-
cred If the department finds that armor
produced by new process is better than
present product. A gentleman closely
identified with the newly incorporated
project intimated to-day that these ex-
ceptional provisions We're the result of
information in possession of the gov
ernment of a much more effective ap-
plication of nickel alloy steel armor
than heretofore employed.

The Union Republicans are assuming
a good deal if they really think that
because the National Republican party
has reversed it's action of four years
ago the Democratic Clerks of the Peace
will reverse their action. Democratic
officials are not bound to change a
decision on account of tine inconsist-
ency of Republican politicians.

AppICKs DELEGATES SEATED.

| BY a vote of SS to 9, the Committee
On Credentials decided to seat the
Union Republican delegates in the Ma
tional Convention. The Regulars did
not appeal from this decision to the
convention, doubtless because of the
large majority against them in the
committee. Thus the action of four
years ago is reversed, and the Union
Republicans or Addicks party of Della
ware is officially recognized by the
National Republican party.
The action at Philadelphia is utterly
ait variance with the former policy of
the party -Four years ago khe Repub-
lican National Committee, the Com
mittee on Credentials and the Conven-
tion at St. Louis all recognized the
Regulars and seated their delegates.
The Regulars have had the ear of Nc
Kinley and have been recognized in
Federal appointments, to the complete
exclusion of the Addicksites. The diff
ference between the two organizations
is the same now as it has always been.
They both exist for the same purpose
now as heretofore.
The reason for the remarkable decis-
ion at Philadelphia mus. be sought
outside the real merits of the con-
troversy. For, indeed, the Regular
delegates at Philadelphia had a much
better claim to recognition than at st.
Louis; they went to Philadelphia as
the regularly chosen representatives of
the party which had been officially
recognized by the national organ
ization and by the Administration at
Washington. Moreover, nearly every
prominent Republican newspaper in
the country has espoused their cause
and denounced their opponents.
Why, then, were Mr.. Addicks and his
colleagues seated? Simply for expedi-
ency and the hope of gain. The bosses
doubtless perceived that their candi-
date would need votes next November
far more than this week. They hope
that Mr.. Addicks and his organization
can deliver to Mckinley the electoral
votes of Delaware. They are also anx-
ious for the Republican Senators and,
in spite of their former position. are
willing Ito take Mr. Addicks for one of
chem. And it is not unlikely that they
also hope for a big contribution to their
national campaign fund
The course Of the Regular delegates
was entirely consistent and honorable.
Their organization exists as a protest
against the leadership of Mr.. Addicks
and to render impossible his success.
They, therefore, refused to accept seats
in the convention on equal terms with
yheir opponents and with half vote.
Though they We're turned down by Mr..
Hanna and his committee, we con
the Regulars upon their man
ly course at Philadelphia. Next
November they will have another op-
to reject Mr.. Addicks and his
leadership.

THE BAND PLAYED "DIXIE."
And Sousn Won the Henrts of the

And Sousa Won the Uenrts of the

When North Carolina celebrated its
centenary, the Marine band was order

ceremonies, said Bandmaster Sousa
The little southern town was much in

dents band" and the prevailing opin-
ion was that Dixie would be tabooed

local committee waited upon me and
intimated that Dixie" was q popular
melody in that vicinity.
"Of course" said the spokesman, I'VE
don't want you to play anything you
don't want to, but please remember,
sir, that we are very fond of Dixie
here"
Bowling gravely, thanked the COM
mittee for their interest in my pro-
gramme, but left them completely in

and naturally the only appropriate mu-

Spangled Banner" which the crowd
patriotically cheered.
The tone of the succeeding grafton
was equally fervid, but the speaker en-
larged upon the glories of the common
wealth whose one hundredth anniver-
sary was being celebrated. The orator
sat down, and there was a momentary
pause, and then as l raised my baton
the strains Of Dixie" fell upon the de-
lighted ears of the thousands round the
platform.
The unexpected had happened, and
such shout as went up from that
throng l have never heard equaled.
