Hon. T. F. Bayard for President.

Delaware's gifted young Senator has been fire.
quently and favorably mentioned by Democratic
journals in various portions of the Union as a
most saitsbIe candidate for the Office Of Vice
President of the United States under the leader
ship Of Hon. Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio, for
President; and the names of Thurman and
Bayard have been heralded abroad as the most
proper and acceptable candidates for the two
highest offices, within the gift of the people, at
the next Presidential election. But the Cecil
Democrat, of Saturday last, reiterating the senti-
ments proclaimed by the New York World on a
previous occasion, places at the head of its edi-
torial column the name Of Hon 7. f. Bayard as
its first choice for the Presidency in 1916.
1t cannot fail to be a matter of intense gratif-
cation to every true Delawarsan to see the name
Of one of their favorite citizens thus so freely
and laudingly used by the people Of the larger
states in this high connection. Hitherto in the
choice of Presidential cand idates Delaware has
been overlooked. Not for the want Of capacity
and talent among her sons, for her McLane,
Clayton and Bayards have ever attained to the
foremost rank in their country's greatness, but
because, being small in population and territory,
she was regarded not having sufficient politi-
cal strength and influence to justify a party in
selecting candidate from among her citizens
Now, however, when policy is rapidly giving
away to principle, and men are beginning to feel
that honesty and capability are far preferable to
availability, the Democracy all over the land are
turning their eyes to Delaware's Senator as not
only one Of the most eminent, but, also, one of
the most incorrupt aud incorruptble Statesmen
of the country.
1t is the proud boast of Delaware that her
sons have ever been faithful to their country in
her hours of peril, and when she most needed
their aid. They look back, with pardonable
pride, upon her past record, and rejoice that she
was the first State to ratify the constitution
under which the nation has grown and prosper
ed in degree Unprecedented, and unparalleled
in the annals of the world. But their chief AMI
greatest cause for self-gratulaton is that, in al
the time that has elapsed since that constitution
became the organic law Of the land, never, by
word or deed has Delaware, as a State, broker
one single jot or title of that law. Not singh
act, or sentence, disgraces her statute boel
which EVEN her bitterest and most implacabl
enemies can construe into II violation OF tn
strict letter of the constitution. Occupying
therefore, such exalted and enviable position
among her sister States, il is but just and NEE
that the candidate for the chief magistracy in tn
centennial year of the nations history should b
native born citizen of the State which has thu
been ever faithful and true to her trust.

STATE REroRM. Radicals base their
claims to the suffrages of the people Of Delaware
upon their many and oft-repeated promises Of
State reform. Among other things they are con-
stantly bowling about Democratic extravaganza
in administering the government and are always
telling how economical they would be if the peo-
pie would only give them a chance to manage
the state little while. Like the citizens of
every other state the people of Delaware have no
way Of Judging the future except by the past,
and they can only judge what the Republicans
poan do from what they have done. The Re-
publcans of Delaware are not one whit better
than their political brethren of other states. As
they do elsewhere so would they do here. The
following estimate of the cost of some of the
state governments which have been long in the
hands of these " Reformers " will give some idea
of the kind Of economy that they usually exer-
else:
The Providence journal estimates that the
State Goverement of Rhode Island costs each in
habitant 81 80 a year. The State expenses of
the little Common wealth are $432, 1858. In Ver-
mont the State Government costs S343. 1922 a
year, or 81 .04 head in New Hampshire
Sis 900 year or Al cents head, and in Della
ware only S3l, 1888, or 25 cents a head. Rhode
Island is evidently extravagant, for though its
legislators work for dollar a day, somebody
gets the money. The highest State salary in
Delaware is that of the Chancellor, S2,50O.-N.
Y. Sun.
The people may rest assured that the cost of sus-
tanning the state government will not long remain
at 25 cents head if they ever do so foolish a
thing as to let the Radical party get into power.
They will reform things for them with ven
geance.
The kind of Legislators the people of Della
ware may expect to have are very aptly describ-
ed by the Denton (Md.) american Union Rep.
as follows:
The price of a New Hampshire legislator
appears, in accordance with the times, low
the railroad lobbyist being reported as saying
that he had hired one man for $25, and that HI
had Slo0 with which TO get four more. Soutl
Carolina legislators are down to S. piece-sc
New Hampshire still holds up a little In thu
latter, however, there are but few who are salea
BILE, while in South Carolina the majority are pur
chasable all the while."
| Evidently the few who are saleable in the N
H. Legislature are the few Republicans who are
there, as in South Carolina they are all Republi
| cans.
