NEED GOVERNOR HUGHES.

a LTHOUGH it has been confidently stated
n that Governor Hughes could not, if he
wished, be nominated again for governor of New
York, circumstances may arise which will demand
that he again lead the Republicans of the Empire
State. The governor has declared that he does
not desire a denomination for the high office that
he has so acceptably filed He does not wish to
make the race again.
But his opponents in New York and they are
the opponents of good government, are reporting
that Mr.. Hughes will not dare to be a candidate,
for fear that if nominated he would be defeated.
This talk is about the quickest method that could
be devised to cause the governor to reconsider his
determination to retire.
When Mr. Hughes was first named for COVER
nor his nomination was not due to his own efforts.
He was drafted by the party as a candidate be-
cause it was believed at that time that Hughes
was the only man who could win Republican
victory. Since his Inauguration into Office, the
governor has been devoted to his duties. He has
acted for the best interests of the people, and
such conduct has brought him in conflict with
the political machine of his party The climax
was reached when the governor started the agi-
tation for the abolition of gambling at the New
York race tracks. Then he ran foul of a power
full political element that at first baked him.
Hughes persisted until he won the victory. He
appealed to the people and the people responded
despite the efforts of certain political leaders to
thwart him. If Hughes enters the fight again,
appealing to the voters directly, as he has done
in the past he will achieve the same kind of vic
tory as he has gained in the combats that have
enlivened his administration. New York State
needs Governor Hughes for another term.

FRIENDSHIP
BY John M. DOrney.

On stormy sea I've Travelled far,
And gazed in wonder on the sight
AS meath dim moon and twinlSling star
I've watched a ship pass us at night.
Each passing ship-a little world,
Shall ere meet that world again7
Or was it to oblivion hurled?
All! me, the thought fills me with pain
On sea OF life I've Travelled far.
Some days are dark and some are
bright,
The war Of life oft leaves a scar:
Some friend oft makes the burden light
Each passing friend a little world,
Shall I ne'er meet that world again7
Is friendships tie to chaos hurled7
All, me, the thought fills me with pain
MOI MOI that thought I hurI from me.
True friendship springs from soul with,
in.
And when the soul at length is free,
Eternal friendship will then begin.
We pass like ships on stormy sea,
We men and women. in this strife.
But when at length our souls are free
Wen be friends in eternal life.

100000 to a New York manufacturer at
20 per cent, or to l. against the con-

and later took the risk at 1Ols per cent,
a new class Of American insurance con.
tracts was established which may give
the courts some difficulty should a test
case be brought. The New York statutes
make betting on an election as much of
an offense as betting on a horserace,
but Wall Street spectators are reported
TO have accepted Lloyds' proposition with
such large amounts that the odds have

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

a LTHOUGH there is little likelihood OF
a Democratic success at the coming cleo
ton, there promises to be some lively contests
over the nominations. We are glad to notice
signs of activity. Life would be dreary indeed
in Delaware if the politicians didn't have stir
once in a while.
The question OF a candidate for governor, how
ever will puzzle the Democrats even more than
it did four years ago.
Several candidates are now mentioned Sus-
sex county, judging by the statement OF County
Chairman A. +. Polk when he was in Wilmington
not long ago, will claim the nomination Mr..
Polk added that DR.. Paynter already as good as
had the Sussex county caucus tucked away in his
pocket.
In many ways Dr. Paynter is an excellent man,
and under ordinary conditions he should make
good candidate for the Democrats. But the point
raised against him is that he is supposed to be
with the ''wets,' and in the lower counties the
"drys" have a strong following among the Demo
Gratis.
Among other Sussex county men mentioned for
the nomination Mr. Joseph f. Holland, of
Milford, who was strongly supported for the
nomination four years ago by Mr.. Ford and other
influential Democratic leaders. The friends OF
Mr.. Holland will no doubt endeavor to secure his
nomination.
When the national committeeman returns from
the New England coast he may give a tip that
will help straghten out the Sussex matter
but there IS also sentiment IN favor OF taking
New Castle county man by the Democrats for
governor. The Hon. Charles d. Bird, who has
his ear to the Democratic ground is being boom
ed and so is Mr. Millard +. Davis good man,
who was disclosed to political light by Mr..
Handy. The Democrats may in the whirigig Of
politics, decide to come to this country
The distributing factor in il all, however, seems
to be the wet" and "dry" question: question
that should have nothing to do with the coming
campaign
But wouldn't it surprise them if the newly
election national committeeman should suddenly
return from New England coast with a guber-
material lightning rod attached to his high hat /?
Stranger things than that have happened in Della
ware politics.

have fallen into the habit of contributing for the
purpose of securing advantageous legislation for
themselves or at least to protect themselves from
the adverse legislation that might be threatened.
With the corporations cut out the parties may
have some difficulty in raising funds Rich ndi-
viduas, no doubt will contribute to the funds,
just as they contribute to hospitals and schools
and for other purposes. There should be contri-
buttons by larger number OF individuals through
the country. The average voter has simply per-
carry the burden of raising money for legitimate
campaign expenses, and in this the average voter
is wrong.
In these days much money is. needed for legiti-
mate political purposes. 1t must come from
somewhere. Perhaps the campaign managers
will not live strictly up to their promises as to
publicity, but even if they make beginning, ii
will be welcome change from past methods 1t
may finally lead to a national law, providing an
appropriation by Congress for campign expenses.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

made IT clear that he does not propose to
permit Bryan to win any advantage ont of the
question OF the contribution of campaign funds.

received from corporations as such This an
nouncement means that neither Republican nor
Democratic committees will receive gifts from
the corporations.

RATIFICATION
MEETINGS HELD

The Twelfth ward Democratic voters
and the members of the Democratic
League ratified the nomination of
Bryan and Kern, at well attended
meetings last evening. The Twelfth
warders passed resolutions pledging
their support to the nominees and ia
voring all honorable means to bring
about their election.
The resolution passed by the Demo-
cratic League is:
THE Democrats OF the nation have
seen fit to place before the people the
names Of William ]. Bryan, Of Ne
braska, for president, and ]. w. Kern.
OF Indiana, for vice. president, of the
United States, and the Democratic
League Of Delaware. in meeting assem-
bled, takes great pleasure in ratifying
the nominations and pledge the unfal-
tering support OF the members to se-
cure their election.
THE Democratic League Is san
guine Of success and beholds with sat
isfaction the utility of the Democratic
party backed BY policies designed to
inure to the benefit Of the whole people
as against the dissatisfaction in the
ranks Of the Republican party as tho
result OF policies which will rebound
only 10 the benefit of the few.
I'VE therefore urge upon all voters
the necessity OF giving to the Demo-
cratic national, state and county tick
cts their franchise and support in order
that the ideals of the founders of the
government that all men should be
free and equal can be enjoyed and that
the people will again come into their
own"

no reason why business should con-
tinue dull this year because II Is a
presidential year any more than II
should be duh because II Is leap year.
There are no presidential Issues
whatever before the country at this
time that involve financial or econo-
mic disturbance. No changes OF pol
icy are proposed by either party that
could alter the basis OF business.
The currency question Is accepted
as settled for the prNsnt and the
treasury and the bank we're never
stronger. .QV
The tariff, which so yltalH affects
manifold Interests, is not being dis
turbed.
No Issue is proposed on any hand
that could alarm business.
Even should the one possible com
mercial issue--that OF warfare on
the criminal trusts-be brought more
prominently forward, general busl-
ness could have nothing to lose, but
much TO gain.
SO It is impossible to see upon
what the commercial fear OF this
particular presidential year can be
substantially based.
There Is superstition only. But
that unfortunately, seems sufficient
to cause timldlty, depression ant
possible dlasters.
Apprehension, even OF the worst
may readily enough be realized, Blu
on the other and better hand, conf
dence, even the highest, II generally
shared In by the business men OF thu
country, would be more than justi
fled.
The causes OF the depression OF The
last six months--whatever they wer,
have passed away, It Is the psy
chic attitude TO be taken by business
men which will make or mar tn,
business Of the rest OF the year.
