Nyreckers, may do between and the closing Of

The Republican electorate of our Stae is aroused
1t is fully determined that Delaware shall not be re-
turned the Democratic column to crafty the per-
sonal spite OF Alfred l. DUPONT or any other man.
That electorate already is marshalled It is impa-
tienty awaiting the arrival OF the time when it

Several OF the Democratic leaders in our State pri-
vately concede that the Republicans Will win prac-
tcally everything worth having. Publicly. however
they profess to be hopeful Of Democratic success 1t
u.s. however a pretense.
The growth OF sentiment in favor Of the re-elec-
ton OF Senator DUPONT and Congressman Miller is one
of the most staggering blows suffered bw the Demo-
Gratis. They had counted on the Party Wreckers to
win by persuasion and purchase enough votes to de-
feat beyond question. Senator dupont and Congress-
man Miller the Republican candidates and to elect.
beyond question Josiah o. wocott and Alfred f. Polk,
respectively the Democratic candidates for Senator
and Congressman In fact, they had depended upon
the work OF the Party wreckers rather than their
own work TO win the Democratic fight.
Too late TO retrieve their fortunes, the Democratic
managers discovered that most OF the sentiment in
favor OF the Party wreokers' ticket had died out
that the third party ticket has gone TO pieces and
that even il party wreckng agents were to resort 10
policy Of the wholesale corruption Of the State cleo
torate they could enough votes to assure
Democratic Since then the Democratic cam
paign has been tagging in all parts OF the State
There has been feeling OF depression all along the
Democratic line.
Several Democratic leaders admitted yesterday that
the gross and Misrepresentation that had been
heaped upon Senator DUPONT and Congressman Miller
by the Party wrecking coterie merely had served tc
strengthen those candidates in public esteem anC
to weaken the vote for Wolcott and Polk.
Our party never gained anything by tying up exeI
remotely with such Alfred l. DUPONT, J. Franl
Alice Frank Hall Davis and Benjamin A. Groves,
one Democrat of prominence said. They are enough
to kill the force Of any campaign waged in a con
stituency that is politically respectable. Our part
managers have made the serious mistake of dependin
upon those to win this election for them. Tea
IL is an irretrievable blunder."
There are many Delaware Democrats who shar
that opinion.
