MISS TAYLOR HITS BACK.
Sine Brings suit Against Secretary Root to
Compel her Reinstatement

She Brings suit Against Secretary Root to
Compel Her Reinstatement
Washington, July % Miss Rebecoa
J. Taylor, who was summarily dis
missed from the War Department on
June 18th by Secretary Root for criti-
cising the administration policy in the
Philippines, has brought suit against
Mr.. Root for reinstatement. Justice
Hagner yesterday issued rule order
ing the defendant, Mr.. Root, to show
cause why a peremptory writ of man
damus should not be issued requiring
nm to restore Miss Taylor to her posi-
ton.
1t is charged that Miss Taylor was
dismissed in violation of the Civil Ser
vice laws. OF her counsel, one is the
secretary and the other treasurer of
the local Civil Service Reform Asso-
citation, although they say that they
are acting purely in their private
capacity in taking up Miss faylor's
case.
Miss TayIor's offence was the publi-
cation in local paper Of letter from
her, in which she took exception &c
President Roosevelt's declaration,
1.-THE flag will stay put, - and CRITICS
ing his Philippine policy. Miss Taylor
said yesterday:
IF the rules are really designed tc
protect persons employed in the Civil
Service such violation of them as tooh
place in my case should not be per
mitted to pass unchallenged But
above and beyond the violation of the
Civil Service law and rules feel mos
deeply that my freedom of speech ha:
been abridged in the truest sense of the
word. | felt and feel very strongly OF
certain political policies Of the presen
administration, and, believing that
had an undoubted right to express my
/ self on them publicly, did so.
- 1t cannot be possible that officials
| such as one of the Civil Service com
missioners, may be permitted to max
! public addresses in advocacy Of the 50
called Philippine policy and an hum
bier employee of the service, like my
self, denied the right of publicly oppos
ing that same policy"
The courts order was served on Mr.
Root in person. He refused, however
to discuss the case.

State Convention september 18th.

State Convention Saptenber 18TH
The Democratic State Central Com
mittee met In Dover, Friday, and |
issued another call for the Democratic
State Convention, this time selecting
Tuesday, September 10th, as the date.
BY this change the New Castle county
Democrats will be able to hold legal
election for delegates, and there viii
be not the slightest flaw upon the
legality Of the State Convention or any
of it's proceedings The change is also
a measure Of economy, as the New
Castle county delegates will DO chosen
upon the occasion Of the regular county
primaries, which are held the second
tnrday in September, and the ex-
pense and trouble Of an additional
primary election for the choice Of con-
yention delegates thereby avoided
The action of the Democratic State
Central Committee was right and
proper; in fact, it was the only thing
to be done under the circumstances
So far as the desire in Kent and SUSSEX
for an early convention in order to
arouse political enthusiasm is con.
cernen, that object may DO attained By
holding the conventions Of these two
counties at an early date, and placing
the county and legislative tickets
before the voters. In Kent county the
nominating conventions have been
called for Tuesday, August 9Th, and
an early date is also likely 10 be
selected in Sussex. These county con
ventions, and the attendant nomi-
nations, will excite the interest Of
voters, and the primary canvass in
New Castle county for the nominations
to be made on the second Saturday in
September win also stimulate the
Democratic voters Of that county to
activity. In fact, the situation that
existed up 20 the meeting OF the Demo
cratic State COMMITTEES, yesterday. Of
itself aroused the deep interest Of the
Democrats in their campaign. As the
Dover DeIawsresn truly says; The
object sought for by the voters Of Kent
and Sussex has, however. been in part
attained by the discussion relative to
the subject which has ensued, that oil
arousing universal interest in the mat
ter, and drawing new attention &c
the importance Of the present cam
paign."
The Democratic campaign in Dala'
ware is now in excellent Shape. 1t only
remains for the voters 10 keep it so bJ
good nominations and sound platform
Of principley. II they do this they will
surely be victorious at the election mex

rhe pepravIty Of Addlokism.


The utter deprsvity Of Addicks Re
publicanism is c,nspicuously portrayed
in the newspaper organs Of the Union
Republican party. They exhibit not
the slightest shame at any suggestion
Of their political corruption. They
even glory in it
For instance, the Union Republican
of Georgetown, most faithful and
servile of all the organs of Addicksism,
can unhlushingly consider the subject
Of bribery and corruption in connection
with the election Of United States
Senator'S ''Was there ever time
during the last session Of the Legis-
lature," it demands, when Mt.
Addicks could not have secured enough
Democratic votes to elect himself and
Democrst?"
Most emphatically there never was a
time at that session when Mr.. Addicks
could have secured Democratic votes,
under any circumstances. Had there
been, it is as sure as fate that Mr..
Addicks and some vensl Democrat
would have been elected TO the Senate.
The experiences of the past proves that
a combination Of yonal Democratic
members Of the Legislature and tue
election of United States Senator is
one that Addicks Republicanism would
never fail to take advantage Of But
there were no venal men among the
Democratic members Of the last session.
Who eau forget the session of 1889,
when three miserable, misguided Demo
Gratis in the Legislature cast their
votes for Addicks for Senator? What
induced them to so disgrace themselves
and bstray the voters that elected them
Money the miserable, dirty, corrupt
ing money OF Addicks Republicanism.
That other Democrats--enough TO in
sure election-had been corrupted in ;
like manner there can be no doubt.
But they lacked the courage to carr!
out their infamous bargain.
In view OF These damning facts, tn
gall and iniquity of Addicks Republi
can organs in even referring to thii
subject is evidence of the deep de
pravity that human nature can de
scend to.

The Boston Herald thus describes
the situation in the Democratic party
There were certain fundamental
Democratic principles that were as old
as Thomas jefferson, their originator,
and Andrew jackson, their later
apostle. They had been sanctioned as
recently as in the conventions that
nominated Grover Cleveland for the
Presidency. The Populists, with Mr..
Bryan as their leader, came into the
Democratic party, captured its organi-
zation and undertook to establish their
own principles in the place Of them.
In capturing the Democratic crgani-
zation they made their Populist prin-
ciples ostensibly Democratic principles.
There we're Democrats who could not
be transferred to their support They
resisted and refused. The question at
issue is as to which were the true
Democrats-they who abandoned prin-
ciples or they who held to them. It is
the old dispute as to whether the name
Is of more value than the substance.
The point is as to whether jefferson
and jackson are more authoritative as
Democratic exponents than Bryan and
Populism.
