sued what William
Byrne, Esq., would call a pro-•
f . j 1 ' , . . _v,of „a
nunciomento, but it is what we
Call a proposition emulating from
the mind of a foxy politician,
whose sole object in view is
manifestly party gain and his
J I
own personal ambition.
There is not one conciliatory
word in the whole proposition,
but its whole tone is imperative
and full Of covert insult through

out. The address is first di
rected to that diabolical and mon
strous instrument of corruption,
the Voters'Assistant Law. We
hava no defense for that law.
We were always opposed to it.
But the law was first enacted by
a Democratic Legislature, and by
them afterwards repealed, and
again reinstated by a Republican
Legislature. So in that behalf
, ' *
honors are even.
After applying the severest
epithet to this law, the address
proposes a union of Democrats
and Republicans for its repeal
, .. r . , 1
and then goes a long way out of
the road for a fling and covert
insult to the Republican Gover
nor in the following language: 1
"And should the Governor veto
such repeal, means may be found
to compel his acquiescence."
It was not necessary to assume 1
or insinuate that Governor Hunn
will stand in the way of honest
legislation. His record is lhe '
T , „
other way. In an other part of
the address the author refers to
■
the ten years of heroic struggle
on the part of the Republicans of
Delaware against wrong in their |
own party, as "the Republican
-
protestations of political virtue.'
And again he calls upon "those
who have seemed to be honest
Republicans of the State to t
"sink their rabid partisanship,"
and prove their virtue by going
to bed with him, or hereafter '
be branded as "false or politically
impotent."
If anything is wanting to show
I
the utter insincerity and want of ^
a genuine patriotic purpose on
the part of the author of this 1
address, it is to be found in that

ing language:

"Our object in making this an
.
nouncement is that the people of
our State and County may place .
the blame for corrupt politics in
the statewhereit justlybelongs."
There we have it. The author
, ,
sees corruption, and wants to
place the blame somewhere. He
bulleys and insults the Regular
Republicans in the Legislature,
and makes it impossible for them
to treat with him and retain their
self respect, and then proposes
to go to the country with the ar
gument that the blame is theirs.
But if it be a question of placing
blame, and not one of get.
ting from under the consequence
of political wrong doing, then
we imagine we will not need to
seek far to ascertain who is re
sponsible for the advent of Ad
dickism in Delaware,
looked in vain for and expression
of conviction or opinion upon this
proposition, in the editorial col
umns of the Republican papers
of this county, but find nothing
but straddling drivel.
Our judgment is that if the
Regular Republicans in the Gen
eral Assembly should seriously
undertake to carry out Mr. Sauls
bury's proposition, with the lan
guage and manifest spirit and
purpose of it fully before them,
from thenceforth the regular Re
publican party will cease to main

The following is an extract from an
address delivered before the Peninsula
Horticultural Society, at Newark by the
president of the society, A. N. Brown, of
Wyoming:
"Good roads in relation to horticulture
is of ever increasing importance. No
product of the farm suffer such injury as
our horticulture product in their trans
portation over the roads. Growers
now realizing this, and they are not only
demanding good roads, but macadam
roads. The loes in my home county the
last fruit Beason was a sum sufficient to
have built many miles of macadam roads.
"Having had unusurl opportunities
for observation 1 believe the loss to
growers delivering fruit to Wyoming
station, was sufficient to have macad
amized the main approach to the
town for several miles. The common
dirt roads, built in the best possible
manner, will not stand the traffic over
them fur one single week in the heighth
of the^season. Our salvation lies in the
gravel,or macadam road; nothing short
of this will answer. Under modern im
proved methods of financiering, these
improvements can I« built without any
increase.iii the present appropriations for
road purposes.
"Had the citizens of Kent County,
Delaware, 20 years ago borrowed $300,
000, they could have built 120 miles
of road. This would have given the
county two roads running parallel with
each other north and south, from the
New Castle line to Sussex; and eight
cross roads running parallel east and
west about 12 miles each in length. This
plan would accommodate 90 per cent,
of the fruit growers of the county and
with their annual appropriation of $23,
000 they could have paid the original
debt with interest at 4 per cent., applied
$5,000 annually to the maintainance of
the improved roads, and have over $60,
000 left, with which to have improved
the unimproved roads of the county."

PLUSH and FUR ROBES!
We wish to call your attention to the merits of the Imita
tion Buffalo Robes that we are handling, which, although an
imitation, are in reality as useful as the genuine Buffalo Robe.
Being made of suitable material, they furnish an excellent sub
stitute for them. The Robe is without seams, handsome, warm,
durable and water-prooi ; is lined with a nice Astrakhan lining
and has an interlinidg of rubber drill to make it both wind and
water proof. With ordinary care it will last from ten to fifteen
years, will shed the water better and dry quicker than genuine
fur robes and never get hard.
