increase in the electoral college by
reason of the apportionment Of 1901.
The democratic rank and file stayed
at home on election day. They had
nothing to vote for. The republican
victory of 1904 was no. a commenda-
ton of the republican party and Presi-
dent Roosevelt, but an emphatic con-
domination of the betrayal and deser-
ton of the democratic principles by
the st. Louis convention. Again the
people have spoken at the polls, ana
spoken in no uncertain tones. Again

leaders of the party that to receive

conditions. A truly democratic plat-
form was enunciated. We did not WIN
in the election of 1896 for many rea-
sons, not the least among which was
the distrust in the popular mind OF
democracy on account Of the betrayal
by our recent, but now repudiated,
leaders. But immense gains were
made, Notwithstanding the fact that
those who had betrayed the party now
deserted it. Bryan polled over a MIL
lion more votes than any other demo

Tomato Gamers Discouraged.

All over the State and Peninsula To-
mato Gamers are wearing long faces
and the prospects for 1905 are not con-
sidered good.
Farmers and fruit packers are now
considering prices for tomatoes to be
grown the coming season. The packers
were generally unfortunate in not being
able to dispose of their product last year
at tremunerative prices, and are inclined
to make lower rates per ton. 1t is to be
hoped that agreements will be reached
and that there will be no curtailment
of THE very important industry on the
mart of the growers and those who pack
the goods. The canning business con-
tributes very largely to the prosperity
of thousands Of farmers and canning
house operatives and the merchants
who furnish them with supplies. Fol
at least six weeks each year it gives
great impetus to trade in nearly every
town and village on the Peninsula by
circulating among the working people
alone more than a hundred thousand
dollars, to say nothing Of the vastly
greater sums which go into the pockets
of the landowners.

A Yery peIiehtfuI Event.

One of the most delightful entertain
ments of the age will be presented in
Armory Hall, Thursday evening, Feb
ruary 10Th, under the auspices Of the
UJshers' Union. The attraction is Ly'
man H. Howe's latest exhibition OF
moving pictures.
Hr. Howe always has a complete
change Of program at each appearance
and to say that his new program sur
passes all previous ones is putting it
mildly. A pleasing feature of this en-
tertainment is the careful reproduction
of the natural sounds as they would
emanate from the real scenes The crack
Of firearms, the putting of engines, the
cheering of multitudes, the shouts OF
individuals and all other sounds are SO
cleverly initiated that the scenes inn
press the mind the same as if viewing
them ia reality.

Justly Esteemed.

The Lyman H Howe Moving Picture
Com pany has earned the esteem Of an
appreciative public and critical press
wherever they have appeared. This
exhibition has been engaged to appear
IN Armory Hall, Thursday evening,
February 18th, under the auspices of

patronage of our people as they have
done throughout the country. Mr..
Howe offers a sterling entertainment,
honOrably presented and honOrably ad'
vertised, and always aims to exceed the
expectations OF the most exacting.

avoids any suggestion that might Of
fend the most scrupulOus. Wide ex'

Extreme Winter Weather.

The weather has been extremely cold
and the snow grip on the entire country
has been phenomenal. Huge drifts pre-
vented travel and blocked business all
of last week, and even in the town OF
Milford some Of the streets were banked
and difficult to travel. A road scraper
and horses were used to break down
the banks and open the cutters. MI
Diekerson contributed the the team
while B. F. B. WoOdall paid some
needy colored men to shovel where the
scraper could not get, and thus the
streets were broken. A few merchants
had enterprise sufficient to clear the
snow from in front of their stores, after
the CHRONICLES suggestion. Ihe
weather moderated a little last Monday
and the snow was turned into slash
but freeze again on Monday night re
gained the ice kings grip OD this pari
of Delaware, and the prospect is fol
