HEARST IN DELAWARE.


IT He Hearst independence League ticket got
- Just one vote in Kent county. and seven
votes in Sussex county. The party unfortu-
nate in not having presidential elector for Kent,
but this lone man, who is a resident of Kenton
hundred should have told the Hearst managers
that he was for the ticket and he could have been
nominated for elector
When the Hearst party in Kent holds its
county convention there will be no wrangllng
over the distribution of offices. There will be
plenty of offices to go round. The one member
of the party could name himself for every posi-
ton. A hall large enough for a convention could
be easily obtained. The one man might hold his
convention in the top of tombstone at Brynzon
graveyard near Kenton, and there would be no
disturbance.
In Sussex county, where it had presidential
eleotor the Hearst party got seven votes
Hearst should present these faithful followers
with a handsome present. They are deserving
of something substantial but the chap who came
here and worked up the party obviously appeared
in the lower counties without the necessary ac-
celebrating force" He made bad job of it, and
Hearst should chop off his head.
Still, in Delaware, the party did as well as in
some other States. In Georgia, Tor example
where the Hon. John Temple Graves formerly
lived and where the party was supposed to be
making a campaign IT turned up with eighty
nine votes in the entire State This is sad re-
hection upon John Temple, who at one time was
described as the peerless orator OF Georgia" the
successor of the lamented Henry W. Grady.
II does not look as if the Hearst party has
come to stay. It assisted in the defeat of Bryan
by piling up the majorities against him in New
York State although the result of the election in
no State depended upon Hearst and his side
show.

Fourth OF July comes round or else prac-
tice In a noise-proof. bullet-proof barri-
cade Michael was fined 50 and costs for

the gun as any one in front Of it. But

chances for themselves, no matter what
happened 10 Michael. so they notified the
police and he was arrested.

AS Mr.. HOUSTON SEES 1T
Declares the Election Was a Great Vic
tory For the Republicans.
Sussex Republican

Sussex Republican.
We hope that our readers will excuse
any undue exhibition Of elation on our
part over the result in this State, but our
readers know that the results are jus
what we have been contending for. tn
election of the Republican State ticket
but the defeat of Davis for Attorney-Gen-
eral. We regret that we were compelled
TO oppose Davis, but we believed that his
election would be nothing less than a
calamity to the best interest of the State
and therefore felt compelled to oppose MS
election, and felt justified in our effort
to bring about fjs defeat.
In his defeat not only has the State
been freed from danger OF a poor admin
istraton Of the Attorney-GeneraPs Of
fice but the Republicans have learned
that they must hereafter select men
whose qualification and fitness for office
are unquestioned. The voter has found
himself. and in the future will vote his
sentiments. This spirit OF independence
has been clearly proven and the success
which has attended their efforts will en-
courage the people to stand for the right
in the future. The Republican party mus
realize that II cannot nominate unfit mer
and then expect to elect them. The mer
who are the most influential citizens Il
this State have disclosed the fact tha
they propose in the future to have som'
say in the nomination OF candidates foi
office.
We believe that Mr.. Pennewill, the gov
ernor-elect, will measure up to the re
r,ufra,,,ap4u % ft,af fr,portopt ofaca an,
that he will give the State an admins
tration Of the same high character whicl
It has enjoyed the last four years.
Mr.. Heald is unusually well qualified 70
I Congressman and we have no doubt tina
/ he viii look after the interest Of our peo
/ pie at Washington as well and in th
same satisfactory manner as our presen
/ Congressman
The other State offcers-elect, with tn
exception OF ID. o. Moore, are worthy Q
our richest commentator and the trus
OF the people OF this State and we predic
that they will administer the duties o
their office with an eye single TO the bes
interest OF the State.
The county and district officers-elec
are mostly admirably qualified for the re
spective offices, and will look after our IN
terests TO the best OF their ability.
II was great victory and should IN
press upon the Republicans the nece.
sity Of considering the best interest
State and county first, and that of n
party second. and then the party will d,
serve and command the united and OF
thusiastic support OF all the members
the party.

FAVORITE FOOD
CAN BE EATEN
Enjoy Your Meals Without
Fear Of Dyspepsia or
Upset Stomach

If your meals don't tempt you, or
you feel bloated after eating and you
believe it is the food which fills you;
If what little you eat lies like a lump
Of lead on your stomach; If there is
difficulty in breathing after eating.
eructations of sour food and acid,
heartburn, brash or a belching of gas,
you can make up your mind that you
need something for a sour stomach
and Indigestion.
To make every bite Of food you eat
aid in the nourishment and strength
of your body. you must rid your Stom-
ach OF poisons, excessive acid and
stomach gas which sours your entire
meal-interferes with DIGESTION and
causes so many sufferers of Dyspep-
sia, Sick Headache, Nauseous breath,
and stomach trouble of all kind; Pu-
trefying the intestines and digestive
canal, causing such misery as Bill
iousness, Constipation, Gripping, etc.
Your case is no different-you are a
stomach sufferer. though you may call
1t by some other name; your real and
only trouble is that which you eat
does not digest. but quickly ferments
and sours. producing almost any un-
healthy condition.
A case of Pape,s Diapepsin will cost
fifty cents at any Pharmacy here and
will convince any stomach sufferer
five minutes after taking one Trian-
guile that Fermentation and Sour
Stomach is causing the misery Of In
digestion.
No matter If you call your trouble
Catarrh of the Stomach. Nervousness
or Gastritis, or by any other name
always remember that a certain cure
is waiting at your Pharmacist any
time you decide to begin its use.
Pape's Diapepsin will purify the
sourest and most acid Stomach within
five minutes, and digest promptly,
without any fuss or discomfort all Of
any r. Of food you could eat.

PROGRESS IN MARYLAND TOWNS.

M ANY towns in our sister State Of Maryland
= are beginning to put on city airs" and
note of progress and civic pride is observed
Some of them have lately installed water sys-
tens, electric lighting plant and sewers-the con
veniences of a city.
All such Improvements pay in the end and.
judging by the experience OF Delaware towns.
the outlays for such Improvements have not
proved burdensome to the taxpayers. The
streets of the Maryland towns are also being i'm
proved and doubtless some of the towns have
much cleaner streets than Wilmington, for our
own streets are very often an abomination of
dirt
Havre de Grace is taking up this question of
paving and purposes to have finely paved streets.
Nothing inapresses visitor more than clean and
we-pavei streets. The good road spirit. too. is
abroad in the Maryland communities as it is in
Delaware.
Most OF the Delaware towns, we venture to
say, are as well equipped in the way of municipal
improvements as are the Maryland towns The
note of progress was sounded in Delaware lono
ago. It is good spirit to be abroad. for with
conveniences such as we have mentioned life
should be pleasant in the smaller towns
