Senator Bayard's Reception.

Senator Baysrd yesterday received the
warmest of welcomes from the people of
Delaware ON the occasion of his return
to them from u European tour. 1t was
reception with the heart in 1t, and not
one in auy way anuiactnrea to order )
and IL was we'll deserved. No public
mao In the country, to-day, has given SO
long service to II in which he has be. u
30 steadily free from just blame and 30
constantly distinguished for an earnest,
honest and enlightened etfoIt to do his
whole duty 10 the people whom lie repre-
sents. Senator Bayard has IA very ex-
ceptional position among the country 's
statesmen in comm IN ing unive sal re-
spect for his integrity AMI Intelligence
Errors in judgment he, no doubt, has
committed, out none can be found tu
charge that he has done any act from uu
worthy mo ives, OF without AN honest
conviction OF It's wisdom. he is one
who has never swerved from his convic-
uons To recommend himself to tempo
rary current Of popularity; and on the
great questi ons of public policy he has
been steadfsstly Democratic; aud to- day
finds hi'uself planted on rock where so
many of his more accommodating asso-
Gates havehad their polltic Il house sunk
away from hem In the sand. or Senator
Bayard the public verdict IL "Well done,
good and faithful sersaht," and the en-
thusiasm of his reception, yester day,
among his Immediate constituents, iinus
sympathetic echo all over the land.
Senal or Bay ard told his audience that
he turned with relief from the Europea-
atmosphere where labor was heard with
grOan and not "A vol . To the purer air
of Ills own land where The great essen-
tial of equality OF opportunity To cr' ate
| their condiuon in life Is theoretically se
| cured to all: but with grave apDrehen-
siou, new, rtneless, for the relhza.ion OF
the conditions under whi ch our system
of government can alone be maintained
Being o. the p ope, its security depend 8
upon their honesty and Intelligence
Wise aud upright governors can only bt
secured hv wise md upright peoi'le. The
truth of this 1, OBJ siou,, and it Is cleai
enough TO us all that the apprehension ol
Senator Bayard for the safety of civi
liberty In the republic Is abundau !,
| justified by the frand and corruption rul
ing in the places of power, unchecked
| by people the vices Of whose public
servants are likewise their own

humble birth was kept and fastened on
men from the cradle TO the grave,
turned, as if for purer air, to the Ameri-
can Sta es, where the noble equities of
humanity are acknowledged and re-
spected, ard where the one great and
essential equality, the equality Of opp0r-
ttu.ity, is secured TO ALL"
In no country is it self-evident truth,
as declared by the Signers, that all men
are created equal for even in birth there
are inequalities, but in the United States,
aud in the United States alone, are all
men born to an equality Of Opportunity"
We might fill the GAZETTE with COM
plimentary references to Senator Bayard'
from the Republican papers, did we need
to do SO to show how futile are the efforts
OF ,me of the weaker political o:gans.

THE SHIP CANAL.-A telegram from
Washington was received by Gen. Grant,
At Chicago, yesterday morning, inform
ing him that letter had been received
from Paris containing information deem

Governor Hall has issued his Thanks
giving proclaim alton for Thursday. No
vember 27th, the same day that PIesi-
dent Hayes has appointed tor the same
purpose. As the proclamation is only
published in Democratic papers we sup
pose that the Governor thinks the Demo
Gratis alone have need to humiliate them
selves and make special day OF thanks
glving.-Rpubtican.
If the Republican does suppose" what
i says IL is more ignorant of the charac'
Yer and intelligence of Governor Hall
than it has heretofore pretended to be.
But it does not suppose" any such thing,
therefore, it is not to be excused for thus
woDtonly speaking untrutbfully for the
purpose Of making the point it aimed to
do. Doubtless Governor Hall is infu-
enced in selecting Democrotic papers to
advertise in just as His Fraudulency
President Hayes is influenced, who pub
lished his thanksgiving proclamation IL
none but Republican papers, while al
his postmasters and Custom House Off
GERS follow the great Frauds exampl,
in prescribing all Democratic papers.
The daily gazette., 1879-11-14

Mr.. Edward Dunn, a near neighbor of
Senator Conkling in his own town of
Utica, was called from his daily vacation
OF making cigars to act as Supervisor Of
the late election in the Fifth ward of that
city; but the obstinate voters Of the
Fifth ward didn't vote to suit Mr.. Dunn,
nor as he supposed Mr.. Conkling wished
to have them vote, and he concluded that
he wouldn't let the return be counted.
Mr.. Dunn's ward gave l20 majority for
Mr.. Stevens, Democrat, for Senator, who
is elected in the county by 20; and if the
Fifth ward is not counted, Mr.. Ander-
son, Republican, would be returned as
chosen. 1t also gives Potter 13l m,jor-
ty over Hoskins tor Lieutenant Cover
mol, ,and it may decide the result between
those candidates. Mr.. Dunn, evidently
intending to lay the foundation for a
glaring fraud, has refused to file his re-
turn, and 1t is claimed he can thus dis
franchise the ward. In Pennsylvania
the Court would at once command Mr..
Dunn's presence with his return, but it
alleged that the lameness of the law in
New York makes 1t possible for any one
charged with the returns to destroy or
withhold them and defeat the will of the
people. A special dispatch to the New
York Herald says that accommodations
of the Supervisor, Edward Dunn, are
general" but does any one doubt that If
Senator Conkling had denounced the
fraud of his friend the returns would
have been forthcoming at the proper
time? 1t isn't at all likely that Mr..
Dunn is playing at the game of fraud all
by himself, when he holds the fate of a
State Senator in Senator Conkling's DIS
trict in his hands.-Phild. Times.

"THE EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY"
The RepUblicdn Of this city employs
its time and space very unprotitably in its
attempts to traduce Senator 3ayard. 1t
has been at this work since the Senator
came out Of his ''teens;n but in view Of |
the splendid reception given to the man
OF fifty on Tuesday evening the efforts
Of The Republican seems not to have
had much impression upon the people of
this city where Senator Bayard is known,
and was then honoled as no predecessor
of either party had been, while as if
jealous and fearful that the Democrats
would monopolze the affair, the
that the very best and purest Of the
Republicans own party profiered their
aid and their personal participation in
doing him honor. Why then should the
GAZETTE waste words upon that paper
whose object seems only to be to mislead
It's readers and blacken the character of
our distinguished citizen within the very
circumscribed limits of its local readers ?
We commend to that papers attention
the very handsome reference made u
the Senator and his speech by an abe
Republican paper-the Tetegrdph-yes-
terday, an extract from which we copy
below. 1t will show that Senator Bayard
and his words are more highly appreci-
ated by the Philadelphia papers than b.
the Office boys about the Republican
shanty. The equality of opportunity
has been enjoyed by the Republican with
out being subjected to the oppression O
great government in the hands of
most vindictive party with subsidize
p ess for twenty years at least, and ye
the Republican is grovelling in th
malaria of its own political filth an
vainly endeavors to stigmatize the Sens
tor who has lived through it all but t
draw honor and fame upon his ow
State and make every citizen feel IL
more pride in little Delaware because
this addition to the noble men who max
her history illustrious. But why coul
not the Republican as well had Il
credit of writing the extract annexed
1t enjoyed the same opportunity. TT
only just answer is we presume to
found in its greater love for malice an
detrscton. The Telegraph says

make ont his case. We believe that few
candid men will read his rojoindOr with sat
isfactlon, or without conviction that preiu-
dice and personal animosity have put Mr..
FRoUDE's assailantin tho.wrong.
As matter OF course, Prof. FREEMAN as
eures us that no Is animated by no other
motive than the love Of truth. We are
bound to say that we discover In his article
very little trace Of that dispassionate, gem
erous, and honorable incentive. He Ia too
eaRer to pounco upon trivial lnadvertences,
and to magnify out OF all proportion to their
true Significance such slips as really seem
material. In the matter OF tho alleged as
sault by Mr. FRoUDE upon his brothers
memory his accuser finds himself compelled
by the force OF public opinion TO excuse
himself with some show OF regret and shame.
The fact, however. that such charge should
have been once made on grounds wholly
frivolous and unsubstantial may fairly
be regarded as keynote to tho critics feel
ing, as q decisive voucher OF Prof. FREE
MANS hostile, not to say malevolcnt intent.
He Is quito able to define the laws OF criti-
cism, and he has done 30 exactly enough in
the Contemporary ReUiei0 He will not deny
that reviewer who permits his literary
Judgments to bo dictated or distorted or
even tinctured by personal resentment, is n
being to be detested. Nor Is 1t n matter OF
light concern to those who would willingly
esteem the author OF Tho Norman Con-
quest" that he should have failed to place
himself outside OF such category.
