The daily gazette., 1878-07-13

THE JENKINS old Commercial, some
time ago, called Senator Salisbury,
among others "consummate fool" be-
cause he voted for the silver bill and in
opposition to the single gold standard
policy proposed by the gold gamblers. If
the Senators had followed Jenkins old
Commercial, edited by Croasdale and
Bates, it no doubt would have been as
loud in its expressions Of admiration for |
him as il is in its vociferations as to the |
ability of Mr.. Williams. Since the Sena-
tors return and assumption of the editor
ial chair of the Deid,cdredn again he has
chosen to assume the membership of the
Democratic press, s,and the GAZETTE came
in for a small share of its attention. The
chiding, however, was not very severe
and we viewed it kindly. But as the
Senator showed his opposition to the
GAZETTE and its course Jenkins old
Commercial was delighted and forthwith
joined the DelGpdredn in its assault upon
us, overlooking the fact that the GAZETTE
and Senator salisbury had not differed
on the main questions Of the day in Con
gress which drew forth the views of the
Press. Jenkins old Commercial how
ever, was too stupid to see that if we ia
vored Mr.. Williams votes we would have
inferentially denounced the votes Of
Senator Salisbury, on the silver bill, the
army bill and the repeal of the Presiden,
salary grab bill. We have no objection
to the Delncdredn favoring the course o.
Mr.. Williams on these bills, but how it i.
to sustain Mr.. Williams and Mr.. Sauls
bury in square and open course o
reasoning we shall wait to learn. Bu
we have no quarrel with the Deldrdredr
and shall endeayor TO the best of oul
ability to avoid saying anything that thai
paper can construe into otfense. And We
are exceedingly sorry that the GAZETTE
was compelled to differ with either of the
gentlemen in Congress. 1t would have
afforded us pleasure to have been able tC
whereas it has caused a great deal of un
pleasantness to find two of the delegation
differing with the long expressed views o
the GAZETTE, and finally with the nine
teen twentieths of the Democratic part,
also in Congress as well as in Delaware
The Democratic party in Delaware i
so strong that the Republican party fear
to run ticket. Those who know tn
GAZETTE knows that it bears no enmit
to Senator Bayard or his friends. Thi
talk about the Senator dividing his pal
ty and coming to "cross-road" with it
all from the no-party papers and the RI
publican papers. 1t is from source thi
denounces parties and would view wit
gladness the breaking down Of the D.
mocracy of Delaware. This is just VIII
"Conservative," and such as he wou
hail with pleasure. No better eviden
of this can be desired that is furnished
jenkins old Commercial in its issue
yesterday, the leading editorial of whit
concludes as follows:
aThere is no reason to assume that
men like our correspondent would jo
together and present the facts and d
mand the reforms they desire they wou
NOT obtain as full redress for th'
Grievances at the hands of the party NJ
in power as could be obtained by poll
cal opponents from the party of viii
Mr.. Pickles is the official head at prcse
and now that there practically Is no
publican party in Delaware, we have
a shadow of doubt that If everybc
would join in one zig party that the |
ter men could control its nominate
and relegdte to permanent back seats
fello1cS lrhO are NOR talking about rum
the nert Democratic cOhCe,tiOn, until tn
fello'rS retired TO found party of tn
own"
Who these "fellows" are that are to
relegated to back seats, we do no kno
bit we presume the allusion is to
Democratic Executive Committee
until the delegates are elected no I
else now has anything to do with
State Convention. And even they h
turned the whole matter over into
