THE SHOOK
 OF PROSPERITY.

Probably it will be many generations before there will be presented cn the political horizon. so unique a figure and character as the late lamented Marcus A. Hanna. MT. Hanna pos sessed the remarkable faculty of pick ing up dinner pail in the figurative tinshcp of the country, skipping it with his fat and pudgy hand, giving it the sound of well ladened and pie stuffed receptacle for the man who carried it. But what was more to his credit as a political manager and leader of men, he could make the people believe that he believed himself in the transaction. That was the secret of his political success, and the reaching the leader ship and control of the g. o. p. in a pc riod of time never equaled in political geneTalship.
 But, through it ali, none knew bet ter than Mir. Hanna himself the tray esty he was carrying out on the pros perity lay as expounded by Republican spellbinders and public men of the party. The cue given by Mir. Hanna was carried out with such effect that the goodly sound of the full dinner pair deceived the public for time. Everything was keyed up to the high notch" Upon the strength of the full dinner pail" comic opera song, everything eaten. worn and utilized by the people was sent heavenward in price, until the workingman was poor CT, and his expense of living for him self and family more than has ever been known in the annals of the coun- try. Upon the hollow and empty sound today of the full dinner pail. '' hundreds of thousands of our working men, from the glimmer of the setting sun on the Pacific to the cotton manu- | featuring cities of New England, walk the streets unemployed. the dinner pail empty, the cupboard bare, and the coat | sleeve worn.

WILMINGTON WANTS SHIP CANAL

Since the Board of Trade started to ad-
vocate the inland ship canal project,
citizens throughout the county have
become interested in matters and the
many discussions on the subject have
brought out number Of suggestions.
While everyone agrees that from the
building OF such canal Wilmington
would naturally derive some benefit,
yet it seems to be the impression Of some
that the benefits would be far more num-
erous if it were possible to get the Della
ware terminal nearer Wilmington than
Delaware City.
A prominent and well-known citizen
Of rural New Castle County, in talking
on the subject said the canal should con-
meet with Wilmington. This lie said
would not be impossible and while the
route to the Delaware river would not be
as direct, it would be one that would not
necessitate much excavating through dry
land. The route he suggested was to
follow the Elk river from the Chesapeake
Bay to point near Elkton and then dig
through what is known as the Christians
valley to the Christiana river and along
that stream through Newport to VIII.
mington. No deep cuts would be neces.
sary in connecting the Elk and Chris.
tiana rivers.

Postmaster Daniel B. Stewart OF St.
Georges having died, there is much spec

prominent residents Of the town have
been mentioned. They are Theodore
Jones, who is road commissioner, and
Miles Clark, the assessor, both Republi-
cans. The compensation Of the Office is
about $500 year.
Mr.. Stewart, who died on Monday Of
an affection Of the heart, was one of the
best known people in that section. He
was highly esteemed. Besides being the
postmaster, he was secretary of the town
council and the cemetery company, a
trustee and elder Of the Presbyterian
Church and had held other positions OF
honor and trust. He was about 20 years
Of age. Two daughters survive him.

ough for cClellen for Mayor,
went to Washington for the
alleged purpose of booming
Parker. But when the Demo
Gratis from other States talked to
Boss Murphey, of Tammany Hall,
he had nothing to say for Parker,
but expressed himself as favor
ing Cleveland. 1t was clear that
the Parker canvass had no real
support from Tammany, and
without Murphy it would amount
to nothing. Murphy's talk for
Cleveland was also insincere.
He knows that the nomination OF
Cleveland is impossible.
"Thomas Taggart, the member
Of the National Committee from
Indiana, expressed the sentiment
in regard to Mr.. Cleveland in
these words: "In Indiana we
regard Cleveland, Of course, as a
very able and very big man,
but we do not regard him as
eligible. Then there are many
who feel hardly about his atti-
tude in 1896" Mr.. Bryan has
also given public notice that he
will be in the convention as a
delegate-at-larg from Nebraska,
and that he will go there with
the one distinct and determined
purpose Of preventing the "Re-
publicanization of the Democra-
tic party, and the nomination Of
a Wall Street candidate" II" He
lets it be known that he will be a
every lively corpse" and that
no man who did not support the
ticket nominated in 1896 and 1900
will be nominated.
cit takes two-thirds cf the
Democratic Convention to nomi-
nate a candidate. and there can
be no doubt of Bryan controlling
more than one third. Moreover,
Mr.. William r. Hearst is a can
didate, and he surprised some OF
the old leaders in Washington by
the support he has already won,
Mr.. Hearst has an army at work;
and the Hearst supporters will
all follow Bryan in opposition to
any man who did not support
Bryan. This practicallyexcludes
the nomination of any Democrat
who opposed the Bryan ticket.
ssGorman stands a chance of
getting the nomination, but he
would be such a weak candidate
that some other man who, as Mr..
Taggart remarked, lis not so
prominent at the present time,
may be chosen. ."-Philddelphia

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE

"The gathering of Democrats
in Washington to attend the
meeting Of their National Com
mittee has not thrown much
light on the question as to who
will be their candidate for Presi-
dent, but it has narrowed the
field. 1t is very clear that Cleve-
land and Olney are hardly to be
considered as candidates, nor is
any man who did not support the
Democratic ticket in 1896 and
again in 1909. That rules out
Marshall Field, Of Chicago, even
if his name was ever entertained
though because of the size Of his
'sbarrel' he might be nominated
for Vice President if he would
accept, which is improbable.
"The talk of Judge Parker, of
New York, is also suspected Of
being insincere. Patrick Ell. Nc

A COUNTY CONVENTION

It has been proposed in GER
tain quarters that the Republi-
can nominations be made this
year in a county convention in
stead Of by popular vote. This
question is one that will have to
be met at sometime in the near
future, not only by the Republi-
cans but by the Democrats as
well. For the past twelve or
fourteen years, the "grafters"
have made life a burden for the
candidates for nomination. 1t is
right, and all candidates expect
it, that the nominees of the party
should pay assessments for legit-
innate expenses. But the many
demands made upon a candidate,
prior to the primary, by all class
es and conditions, for all sorts of
purposes, from helping to pay a
church debt to paying for beer
for some "social club" which has
been organized solely for ''graft-
ing" have become entirely too
heavy. AS a matter Of principle
we are opposed to the idea of
taking away from the people the
right to personally and directly
indicate their choice Of candi-
dates. In the present emergency
however, it may be necessary
to do SO. If it be done it should
be with a distinct and positive
agreement that it is not to con-
tinue for more than two cam
paigns.
The voters in the rural districts
have no conception of the extent
to which grating" is carried in
the city Of Wilmington. 1t is
true that in all communities
there are voters who think can
didate must haveplenty Of money
and is therefore legitimate prey.
But, in no other part Of the
county has it been reduced to
such fine system as in the city.
There are "clubs" of all kinds in
existence from about July 1st un-
til election day, when they 60 in
to a state of ''innocuous desue-
tude" until the next campaign.
Some Of the 'grafters" are able
to work the candidates of both
parties. The writer was shown
a two story brick dwelling in
Wilmington and was told that
the owner had "made" enough
! out of the campaign of 1900 to
pay for it. When such condi-
tions obtain, a desperate remedy
must be found. If any better
plan can be suggested and put
in practice, we would welcome
!, it. But, something must be done
and now is the time to do it. A
new County Committee will be
chosen by the Republicans, with
in the next three months, and it

the next two campaigns. A wise
/, choice of committeeman will re-
suit in good to the party and may
eradicate thisevil.

ANOTHER DEADLOCK

Our neighbors Of Maryland
are going through an experience
with their Legislature like unto
that which Delaware has tried
several times, except that it is
the Democrats who are unable to
agree. It will be remembered
that after the State Convention
had been held by the Democrats
last summer, Senator German
dropped out Of the campaign.
Isidore Rayner, prominent an
Reorganization leader and a man
weIl-ftted for the position, boldly
announced his candidacy for cleo
ton as United States Senator,
and nearly every legislative can
didate in the city Of Baltimore
and it's vicinity pledged himself
to support Mr.. Rayner. On this
issue the campaign was mainly
fought, and the fact Of the pro-
liability Of Mr.. Rayner's election
undoubtedly had much to do with
the Democratic victory at the
polls. But Senator German
evidently does not want a man
of Mr.. Rayner's marked ability
as his colleague. Besides, it is
undoubtedly true that the place
had been promised to the then
Governor, John Walter Smith in
payment or as a reward for his
calling the special session Of the
Legislature and his assistance
in forcing through that body the
amended election law, that was
intended to disfranchise a large
percentage Of the colored voters.
For this reason and in order to
make it appear to the country
that he had won a great victory.
Senator German, on his return
from Europe, but a few days be-
fore the election assumed control
Of the organization and an
nounced through the press and
from the stump, that he was the
issue. The people did not real
ize the position. Practically
every voter had determined how
he was to cast his ballot, and
none saw danger enough in what
was called "Gorman's bluff" to
change his mind.
The balloting was begun on
Tuesday with the Sc Democratic
members voting for several can
didates, Mr.. Rayner leading with
IS votes and Mr.. Smith, second
with 29. Later balloting shows
small gains for Mr.. Rayner, but
he cannot be elected by Demo
cratic votes unless Senator Cor
man is willing. Not all of Mr..
Smith s votes are machineowned,
those from the Eastern Shore
being cast evidently with the
idea, that the old custom of one
Senator from each side of the |
Bay, being revived. Even should
these votes be eventually cast for
Mr.. Rayner they will not give
him enough to win. It is too early |
in the fight to make predictions,
but the chances favor a long
drawn out struggle, which will
not be of any benefit to the State
in the way Of legislation. If it
should result in killing the pro-
posed constitutional amendment,
restricting the franchise, some
good may result. It is possible
that the 3s Republicans in the
Legislature may take a hand in
the game. If SO Mr.. Rayner may
be elected.
