EVERY EVENLNG'S DISCOVERY.
Every Evening devotes column of III
issue of yesterday to what 1t calls petty
conspiracy against Mr.. Bayard. We are In
the habit of meeting many Democrats, and
freely talking to them. and we are conscious
that the conspiracy exists only in imsgina-
tion. f. a Ara 1&HAt.t E9q ~7
There is widespread dissent from the
Senator's financial policy, both In Delaware
and all over the Republic. and the telling
him so cannot justly be ampliied into q
conspiracy against him. Upon question
which goes to the industrial life Of the
nation, are men of strong convictions to be
silent? Has the Democracy in Delaware 90
shrunk into political serfdom, that the ex-
preston of an opinion is to be considered as
q revolt against leader Such slavish
ideas may dominate Every Evening, and
vindicate its course-ever ready as it is like
"Harry of the Wynd," to fight for pay; but
it is not ours, and we pity the small-souled
man. who 50 acts. Mr.. sBsyard will not
come before the Legislature for reelection
10 January, 1881, two years and a-hali
away; when that time is near st hand, and
when members are being nominated to re-
elect him will be time enough to speak
not sooner. ,ts ..5.faH a,y
The intolerant spirit cropping out In the
article about native. Delawareans Is the am
swering note to the Senator's speech in the
Clayton House, wherein he extensively ad-
vanced the same doctrine. The way in
which Mr.. Bayard's organ speaks of &1
"Such fellows are good enough to work
In wards and hundreds, and will be toler-
ated while they air their opinions" ETC.,
is strong proof, indeed, that voters and
workers are good enough to give Mr.. Bay
ard and his coterte places Of honor and
profit, but II they dare express an opinion
they WILDE punished with stripes. If this
be Democracy according to the code Of Mr..
iBsyard, bis Democracy is grievance as vile
as the Venetian rule Of the oligarcbical ten
and we at least will not accept It as rule
of political conduct. When Every Evening,
under the inspiration Of Mr.. Bayard, insults
men his equal In blood, brains, and educa-
ton, and his peer in, citizenship,
It is sad evidence of decentralization, and
must produce It's results. We have at al;
times presented our views fairly, and de-
Gently, and we fail to see what right any
one has to take us to task about their ex-
preston. Gt',
We have plainly arraigned Mr.. Bsyard at
the bar of public opinion, for his political
conduct. During the past year, he hiss
been unmindful of the want and sufferings
Of the people. He voted in favor of every
measure, calculated to enrich the rich, and
impoverish the poor. While laborers faced
famine, farmers ruin, merchants bankrupt
cy, the favored ones of the drank, and dance
IS Of yore. Hispolicy deepened the agony
Of the sufferers, 10 as to reach. q solid cur
rency. During the travel, thousands of
freelolders would lose their houses and
farms; the last dollar Of the lsborer's ssv-
ings would Be used up; then children would
be withdrawn from school, and condemned
to ignorance. Meantime the pay OF Senators
and Officials would double their purchasing
power, then capitalist friends would gather
in the forfeited property of the poor. The
great gap between the official and monied
eligarchy Of the land would be widened,
and the transition to an oligarchical DEM
ocracy made easy. We believe Senator
Bayard is an honest, pure man,
but he is so warped e by
the finsncial social atmosphere-he lives
In, that he fails to see the frightfGl and
desolating effects of his financial policy
aad will not realize the fact that the way
to solid finance is paved with ruin--and
misery to the millions. If through any
squeamish regard to the Senator's feelings
the assembled freemen of the State, next
month, fail to tell him 30, they will NOT lbe
acting In friendly way to him. Two ycars
