monthg, Every Evening has taken no
part whatever. We have gone no further
than to express editorial protest against
the amazing and autocratic suggestion
of these scrvile Salisbury organs that no
Delaw are Democrat, notwithstanding his
talents or his party position, had right
TO aspire To the Democratic nomination
for United States Senator, this year.
With this we have been content, and
the fact that the Senator's newspaper
no matter how rervile or how it involves
descent TO falsehood and other despicable
methods, certainly stands forth as a
natural result of inspiration from hend-
uiarters''-of n reputation of the basic
principles of Democratic party policies,
and the undsputed right of all members
of the Democratic party 10 aspire to
nomination TO public office.
Every Evening has no candidate for
the Democratic nomination for United
States Senator. II has never been the
policy Of this paper 10 take nm active
part IN Democratic party primaries.
We have been content to leave all primary
matters to the decision Of the Democratic
voters. except in such rare instances as
when candidates ofsuch an objectionable
character aspired to nomination aS to
make support Of them at the elect ION I'M
