Regardless Of Hanna

From the Georgetown Republican.
Addicks has received twenty votes, but
he is not elected He may receive TWEEN
ty-three, in fact, il has been conceded
from the FIRST that he could receive this
number, but it was not expected that the
douhtfuls would go TO him until he had
sufficient 10 elect and as he could not be
elected, many have doubted that they
would vote for him at all. The only ex-
PLANTATION OF the vote is that Addicks has
given up hope OF being elected and is now
playing the card, he has held in reserve
to play as his last hope, TO influence the
administration and prevent a break
among his own men. IL has developed
this week that Hanna, as was pointed
out last week. is for Addicks, and bring
ing all the pressure possible TO bear on
the Regular Republican members to in
duce them 10 vote for Addicks. They are
doing their duty and propose to do so nc
matter what Hanna may think or do
these members should reply in answer
to kilograms summoning them TO Wash
mgton-that their duties required theil
presence at Dover, and If Mr.. Ham,
wishes 10 see them they would be glad {,
receive him there at any time. If Mr.
Hanna could send a Mr.. Smith, from the
Lord knows where, TO Delaware last Fal
TO aid Addicks, he can repeat the expert
ment now.

From the Milford News and Advertiser.
The bill for a railroad commission

occur that, considering the limited
mileage in Delaware, very
expensive move is contemplated by
the bill. II such an. act is desirable,
why not a single commissioner? 1t
should also be remembered that there
would be a great temptation TO turn
this commission into an adjunct OF
ohe railroad. With the records of many
politicians in view, we are not sure

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Plea for the Suffering

To the Editor Of the Evening Journal.
Sir: May we call attention, through
your columns, to new methods just in
troduced into our city Of raising funds for
the curernt expenses Of Delaware Hos
pital?
In other cities the method is an old one,
and has been most successful. We have
placed at the various railroad stations,
drug stores, hotels, etc, number of
glass donation jars, into which our
friends are asked to drop, from time to
time, any amount, however small.
just now we feel especially gratifed ia
the public for such generous assistance
in helping us to erect our new building;
but this very fact Of establishing our
selves shortly in such enlarged quarters
means additional expense in all directions
and as we have neither state or city APP
prOpriatiOns may we not hope for aiC
from our good citizens? The great ques-
tion is always the same, how to meet the
running expenses of such an institution
from month to month.
II is frequently said to us, I'VE might
assist you in some small way, but oul
mites would not count" This is the
greatest mistake. Small amounts, giveI
systematically, bring in a regular income
which we need in order to do the worl
before us; and, if those who cannot con
tribute in other ways. will bear in minC
the glass donation jars, and continue tC
drop their gifts, it will greatly help tn,
suffering patients Of Delaware Hospital
and be much appreciated by the
BOARD OF MANAGERS.

Are most afraid, they win forget
What they've started out to get,

Ere memory fails 'em totally,
