Org is that there may have been an
excessive amount of mud in the
boilers.

No lNsuLr is NEcEssARY.

VATE THINK that nothing can be
w gained for the united Republi
can ticket by treating Dr. Chandler
shabbly. Il was sufficient to remove
him from the ticket when he had been
assured by those responsible for his
nomination, that they would never per-
init him TO retire. II is not necessary
for the success OF the new ticket to
abuse Dr. Chandler and The Evening
Journal refuses to be a party TO it. We
dissent then from the following which
we clip from the Sussex Republican, q
paper which does not now hesitate to
commend the Addicks candidates on
the State ticket TO public attention:
The position assumed by Or. Joseph
II. Chandler, is untenable and un-
worthy OF the man. No man has a
right TO stand In the way OF Republic
can success in this state. Republican
victory IS more important than the
success OF any one man. II Dr.
Chandler accepted with the expectation
OF staying on the ticket there was NO
such understanding with the conven-
tion or the State Committee.
The editor Of the Sussex Republican
knows the pledges that were exacted
from Dr. Chandler. not by him. but by
those who succeeded IN naming the
candidate for governor majority oi
the convention He knows that they
pledged him to remain on the ticket
under all conditions. Besides. he
stated his conditions to the conven-
tion. and the convention accepted by
It's silence. And DR.. Chandler prob
ably is aware that had the Republican
state Committee followed the spirit Of
the convention DR. Chandler would to-
day be the only Republican candidate
for governor.

The Fire Went Out.

In a certain magistrates Office one day
recently an amusing incident occurred.
The dignihed Justice had lighted a fire.
the weather being cool. but the smoke
from the stove persisted in escaping in
the room instead of up the chimney. He
was also putting vigorously at one of
six cigars that candidate for office had
given him. Suddenly tho door opened and
a friend stepped over the Threshold.
''Whew,' he exclaimed. Squire where
did you get that smoker? It's filling the
room with its fumes"
'Nell I be tanned If it is not RIGHT. q"
exclaimed the judge as he flung the half
burned cheroot into the stove. The smoke
from tho heater stopped at once, being
smothered out and as result the magis-
trate flung the remaining five stogies into
the flames. Tho fire went out.

THE ARGUMENT.

VATE THINK there is no doubt that
w the. vast majority OF the Repub-
licans Of Delaware win support the
ticket as now agreed upon by the
state committees representing the two
factions. The ticket is clean all
through. with the possible exception
that certain Of the candidates have
thrown the weight Of their influence
with Addicks and Addcksism. and
have prohted by 1t. 10 deny that as
an objection Is to deny that the inilu-
ence OF Addicks has been pernicious-
and that we refuse io.do.
And while Republicans generally win
support the ticket as the best solution
Of an unpleasant affair, II is not neces-
sary for them to stultify themselves by
casting asperslons at the candidates
they named at state convention,
and who have done nothing to forfeit
any mans regard.
The best thing to say is the honest
thine-that the state ticket has been
made up and will stand, that the cam
didates with the exception Of the Ad.
dicks taint on few Of them, are clean
representative men. and that it is the
only ticket through which the success
OF the party is possible. If these rea-
sons are not convincing, then there are
no honest substitutes.
But for ourselves we shall not be a
party TO any argument intended to re-
fleet on the standing Of the displaced
candidates. That would be adding in
suit to injury; besides. it is utterly
unnecessary. For not man ON either
ticket was displaced because unit.
Each OF them stands as worthy Of the
nomination as he was the day it was
conferred on him.
