There is no doubt but that the ew
registration is to blame for the present
status of the political situation, and the
leaders of all parties are freely express
ing tlteir opinions about the men who
comprised the Constitutional Conven
tion and thus threw all predictions in
such a state of chaos.
Tlie Republicans, whilst claiming all
three counties, express some doubt as to
Kent county and are no ways backward
in asserting that tlie Democrats stole a
match on them in Kent's doubtful dis
tricts, which may defeat them or prob
ably enable then! to pull through a very
small loophole.
hi Sussex they are positive that tlie)
will carry by about 300 majority, whilst
New Castle they claim by about 1,200
majorit y.
On the other hand, tlie Democrats are
in no wise chary about throwing pre
dictions broadcast throughout the land
and say that they will undoubtedly carry
New Castle county by 800 majority,
Sussex by 200 majority and Kent by
from -">00 to 600.
There is no doubt that tlie Democrats
gained considerably during the registra
tion of Saturday, October 22, but wheth

the big lead the Republicans had
come

fused to register, and several white men •
are among the number, but no Deuio

clnim.

Tlie registration in Broad Creek is 00(5

Indian River hundred is only 72 short
of having a full registration. The mini

that failed to get on (0 of them were Re

two appeal eases.
North West Fork hundred registered
040 voters, which was 91 short ul being
a full registration. There are two appeal
caseB from this hundred.
Cedar Creek is 2118 short of a full regis
tration, and tlie Democrats are the heav

Tlie number of voters that qualified in
Broadkilm hundred is 488, and is KXI
short. T' e hundred is claimed by both
parties. There is one appeal case re

Nanticoke hundred registered almost
a full quota, end is claimed by tlie Re

Hie appeal cases are interesting tlie
leaders of both parties and in the
cases of William H.Mtoekley and his son,
Delaware Stock ley, Judge Boyce ordered
that the father's name be placed on the
books as qualified. Tlie decision was
against the son ami he was marked dis
qualified.
It is likely that several days will be
spent in considering the appeals taken,
and some interesting developments are
promised, W. C.
Richards;
Republicans are fearful that the ap
proaching election will result in tlie
loss to them of the next Congress. Every
known expedient is being used to
influence the voters, one of the latest
being the declaration that Democratic
control of Congress would fie advan
tageous to Spanish interests. Secretary
Kerr, of the Democratic Congressional
Committee, lias issued the following
statement relative to these Republican
assertions:
The evidently premeditated efforts of
the official organs of the administration
throughout the United States to convey
to the minds of the Ameii an people the
impression that Spanish interests are in
any way involved in the results of tins
e ection are absurd and ridiculous.
Die attitude of the American people
during the w-ur with Spain ..tight to con
vin.e e:ery intelligent American citizen
that devotion to the cause of the United
states in its contest with a foreign foe
does ni t belong tn any one party, and
that patriotism is not partyisin byjtny
means.
The people are too intelligent to be
hoodwinked by any such lalse alarm.
If the cause nf tlie Republican party—
which is now being tried by tlie Ameri
can people—rests upon so silly a pretence
ns the idea tiiat Spanish interests would
be enhanced by tin: success of the Demo
cratic party in Congress, the Republicans
are in sore straits.
When one recalls the attitude of the
Democrats in the .Senate of tlie United
Slates and is reminded again of tlie
position taken by Mr. Iianna and the
leaders of the Republican party in both
Houses of Congress, in winch they
sought by every effort known to parlia
mentary law to prevent any action by
either;House tlmt would betaken as a
declaration against Spain, and which
might involve the price of Spanish con
sols, one would think that they ought to
be willing now to submit tins' matter to
. any American citizen who might be
' called to sit in eith -r house of Congress.
i If it is simply enforcing the results of
j the war the Republican administration
; need not fear any C-ngress tlmt might be
assembled in Washington to deal with
that subject, but if it is some private
scheme, some sinister purpose tha., is un
known to the American people, and that
must be handled gingerly and adroitly
by those whose loyalty to party is greater
than their devotion to the country, only
this could furnish the excuse for a Con
gress friendly to the powers tlmt be.
There can be no other reason. The
leaders of the Republican party must in
deed be in desperate straits, and this last
wail sounds like tlie desperate call of a
defeated pavtv.
Senator George (fray, of Delaware, was
one of tlie ablest supporters of the Ad
ministration in its efforts to quickly and
successfully cope with tlie Spanish na
tion in the resort to arms which followed
the blowing up
present in Fans, assisting in the making
of a treaty of peace w ith Spain. No Re
publican, it matters not how much of a
Jingo he may be, cart accuse Senator
Gray of having acted like a Spanish
sympathizer. He and many other
Democratic members of Congress were
far ill advance of tiieir Republican col
leagues in according to President Mc
Kinley proper support when he roost
needed it. Then wliy these charges now?

Frequently independent voting by the

Congressman L. Irving Handy is cred
ited with saying that tlie Democrats
would carry every county in tlie State,
ior the reuson that the registration of last
Saturday was favorable to his party. He
lias fuil confidence that tlie enthusiasm
aroused by our triumphal registration
will result on election day in even a
larger majority for tlie Democratic ticket
than appears oil tlie face of the registra
tion.
Congressman Handy always was an
enthusiast and could see farther tbdn any
other politician in Delaware. He like all
other far-sighted men saw his election to
Congress in 1890 because of the fact of
two Republican candidates for that office
being ill the field. But this year the
same exigencies do not exist and the Re
publican purty will sweep the Stuie from
Wilmington to Lewes. Two years ago
this could have taken pluce, but the Re
publicans like a great many families
were divided and fought each other in
stead of the Democrats. He is hugging
himself in ecstacy, and the hope is fattier
to tlie wish. But, when alone, tlie genial
silver-tongued orator is not tlie same L.
Irving you meet and shake by the band.
His dreams are of the sort to terrify even
a healthier man than he. He can see a
majority of tlie offices which have been
filled for years in our city filled by Re
publicans, and this fact is telling on his
robust form.— Daily Republican.

No artist that ever lived could produce

General Wheeler. All of these will be at
Keith's this week in pictures taken at
Camp Wikoff. Tlie Seventy-first Regi
