all such disputes. If the miners are

nEpun1IoAN coNGnEssMAN

II the Republicans, of Delaware, can
elect any man TO congress this year,
that man is IA Heisler Ball. The per-
sonal candidate of Addicks has not the
ghost Of a chance, and has been stead
lily losing ground since the day he was
placed on the ticket I'M defiance of even
the wish of Union Republicans. IL
Republicans wish to vote for a candi-
date who has a chance Of election, they
must support DR.. Ball.
We have repeatedly challenged the
opposition to tell US whether he has
made himself Objectionable to any Re
publican, and we have received no re-
ply, save a vague charge that he has
not recognized Union Republicans in
the distribution of the patronage. II
this were true, his election would be
preferable to sending a Democrat TO
congress. But il Is not true. Those
who are acquainted with Dr. Ball
know that he is not animated by a
mean partisan spirit They know that
petty revenge does not enter into his
makeup, and that he has had no Oh
iect save to serve his party, his State
and his country.
DR.. Ball Immediately after his cleo
tion had to begin to fight for the rights
THAT appertained TO his office There
were those who were envious Of his
power and his popularity. They used
their utmost endeayor to take the pat
ronage out Of his hands. They recon-
mended candidates for office to the
President end would not allow them 10
ask for Or. Balls Endorsement Under
these circumstances 1t was impossible
for him to appoint Unlon Republicans,
even had he'desired to do so.
He made a good record, looking after
the interests Of Delaware faithfully
and succeeded in his undertakings in
manner that was surprising. In him
the Administration always found &
supporter, and for these reasons he is
the only man that it is possible fol
Delaware Republicans to elect to con
ress at the approaching election.
Those who assume the burden of hi
defeat take upon themselves a grav
, responsibility. They would tear dow
q rather than build up. and from tn
S basest possible motive; revenge. It

EnrCrIoN FoREcAsrs

Election representations are al
ready becoming a bit tiresome. II the
claims Of all parties are to De verified.
there must be polied a total Of some
thing like 100000 votes; but, unfortu-
nately for the guessers, the figures are
considerably less than half Of that num-
Der.
First, OF course. comes Addiclls, the
irrcpressible and irresponsible. He ex-
poets on election day TO sweep the
Democrats into the sea, and he is still
a candidate for senator. And yet that
same gentleman has declared in repeat
ed interviews his purpose Of electine
a Democratic congressman, and within
the last ten days has asserted that hs
was going to elect two Democratic sen.
ators, and give Delaware a taste Of thai
kind Of medicine. SO what Addicki
says need not he taken seriously, Tor 4
all OF his past predictions are gone owe

Republicans will hold the balance Of
power. There is little doubt that the
Legislature will be Republican, but Mr..
salisbury is absolutely correct when he
comedies to the Regulars the balance Of
power. 1t may be said, too, that the
only thing that can possibly defeat the
election of a majority OF Republican
members is the treachery of Addlcks
and his tools
MI Salisbury shows that he is a
shrewd student Of politics when he says
his belief is that Dr BAN will remain
on the ticket, and that there is a pos
sibility of the retirement Of Mr.. Byrne
but he errs in giving the election to
Houston in amy event II Byrne re-
mains he can probably poll enough
votes to defeat Dr. Ball, although this
is not certain; while with Byrne out
OF the way, Ball would be reelected.
DR.. George w. Marshall, Insurance
Commissioner and chairman Of the Ad-
dicks Committee of Kent county, also
has a prediction. He says that his
party win elect everyone Of its senator
lal candidates and eight of the repre-
sentatives from that county. That
means that the Union Republicans will
get eleven men and the Democrats two.
This doesn't sound like am estimate, but
like a pipe dream.
The Every Evening also makes a
guess which will be discounted, because
it claims too much. II figures on a
possible Democratic majority OF theLeg-
lslature on joint ballot of sixteen. 1t
says, however tlht it is not probable
that the Democrats will carry all of
the doubtful districts necessary TO that
result, but that it is possible to do So
The fact is that nobody, not even tho
most sanguine Democrat, really ex-
poets a majority of sixteen for either
party Whether the Republicans or
the Democrats win, probably a very few
votes will decide the matter. But 1t
seems practically certain that if all Re
publicans use their best efforts the Leg
islature will not be Democratic, and
il certainly will not be Addicksite.
