is contemplate, because it is entirely of
Republican authorship.
The twaddle, for it is only this, assumed
two things, either that some of the Demo-
cratic members of the Legislature would
make bargain with the Republicans to
elect another Democrat, or that the eight
Democrats are to be bought to vote for a
Republican to go to the Senate. Here is
what John Il. Paynter Esq, thinks of the
talk
Said he when it was mentioned
There is no opposition to Mr.. Bayard
in this county and it is useless to talk
about any combination against him. He
will be supported by all of us heartily. As
for the matter of bribiDg our members,
the Republicans could not bribe the poor
voters of the county and had to carry
thousands of dollars from the polls, be-
cause Sussex is not in the market II they
had Sl,000. 900 they could not buy our
members to vote for Republican against
Mr.. Bayscd and there are no Democratic
candidates against him. In short Mr..
Bayard Will be his own successor in the
Senate, by ths unanimous vote of the
Democrats in the Legislature.

used as the Democrat who is 10 be put
forward to beat MIR. Bayard, his position
may properly be defined. He is not and
would not be candidate for the position.
He is in favor OF Senator Bayard's re-siec-
ton, and the Republicans who are using
his name to stir up bitterness among
Democrats are doing Governor Ponder a
very great wrong. He is in hearty accord
with his party in Sussex and they with
him He will fight the Republicans but it
may as well be understood now by the
Republicans that there are no Democratic
factions in this county. have spoken
to almost every member of the Leg-
islature from this county aud they
are all sincerely and warmly in favor OF
Senator Bayard's return 10 the Senate.
Aud now, il there is anybody who thinks
that there is anything in the foolish talk,
to which have devoted too much space
already, he can demonstrate thesstrength
of his belief in very practical manner.

Legislative caucus against Mr.. Bayard. If

PROMISING THE sENAToRsHIP.
So much for the Senator who is to be.
There is something to add of the Senator
that was to be. Some of the Republican
leaders. when they wanted money so badly
went to very wealthy gentleman of New
Castle county, and made the proposition
to him that he should come into the mar.
ket and buy the Senatorship That is if
he advanced enough money to corrupt the
voters and buy their votes he should be
made United States Senator. 1 make this
charge without reservation, and If any
Republican leader dares to say that he
knows it to be false, will cram the lie
down his throat. IL. IA. q.
