The STATE Republican Contention

full report of the State Republican
Convention will be found in our columns.
The nom nation Of Levi Bird, was
made by acclAmation. Neither Ex-
Judge Fisher nol Hon. y. b. Smithers
cared TO be beaten. They preferred TO
take their chances at some future time
wien there may be more hope for their
election.
M. Bird has been an ofhce holder for
the last sew zen years and ought to be will |
ling TO make the sacrifice, especially
since his practice at the bar has not been
SO successful as a nan of so much self
esteem had right to expect. He de-
lights in gay horses and fine equipages.
and therefore no doubt prefers to 60 to
Washington above all other things.
What wide contrast he and Blue Jeans
Williams would present on Pennsylvania
Avenue But it's with another Will
liams M, Bird has to run the Congress
sionsl race, and not with the renowned
Lemonade hero. But the contrast in
some particulars would still be great.
Mr.. Bird is bachelor who has little
love for lemonade unless it has stick in
it. He and his gaudy cquipage has at
tracied more attention as they passed
through our streets, than have yet any
of his mastery efforts at the bar. He
is quite pugllist too, is well made in
the science of the prize ring" as well
as being il full membership of the "Old
Ring" politically, of which so much has
been said and written in our newspapers
His opponent. Hon. JAMES WILLIAMS
though not so plain as "Old Blue Jeans
the late Congressman, and now Demo.
cratic candidate for Gov. of Indiana, is
but plain, unassuming farmer of Ken
County. He, however, has a good Eng
iish education, and in lis votes in Con
gress shows that he is for Retrenchmen
andReform and sustained the Democrat
propositions for reduction of expen
ditures. This is one of the things tina
Mr.. Bird is not required to do by tn,
platform on which he is nominated. t
do this would be to vote for Democrat
measures and against the Republica ,
party and the Republican Senate MI
Williams had much experience in ou
State Legislature before he was electe
to Congress, and he is therefore bette
Qualified for legislative duties than NJ
Bird. While at this time it is especiall
desirous that such dashing, swaggerir
gentlemen as Mr.. Bird should be kel
away from Washington, somewhat
might be for their good, ,Lut more especia
ly for the good of the count Iy.
Now, we propose that Delaware sha
not only elect her Williams to Congre
over Mr.. Bird, but give him a great
majority in proportion to Populate
than Indiana gives her "Old Blue Jeans
for Governor in October next. This
