BREAKwATER LIGHT, Rep.

that to the victers belong the spoils
there Is plenty OF opportunity for ths
political exeeutioner's axe. Manv sov-
srhInens employers in this section OPEN
" voted the Democratic ticket. That
was their right, but as these offices be-
long TO Republicans and as there are
plenty Of Republicans capable of f1llinr
ihom, we think they should resign or be
removed. They may not be Responsible.
The people who appointed them are
mostly responsible.
GEoReETowH INQUIRER, Rep.
The latest report is that the Republi-
cans In the next Legislature will en-
dsavor 10 coalesce with tho Salisbury
members and defeat Mr.. Bsyard's
return TO the Senate. Aud another re-
port Is going the rounds that an effort
will be made to secure his defeat by the
corruption Of members. And the pro-
liability 10 that should either plan be
carried out some recreant Sen ator
maker may find himself dangling from
the cupalO OF the State House.
MILFORD News, Rep.
AT every contested election In this State
agreat many sell their vote; and at the
last one, instead OF the crime decreas-
Ing, as the increased intelligence of our
people would lead one to believe would
De The case, the corruption greatly In
creased. Not on y have men In indi-
gent circumstances sold themselves, for
which action theTe would seem to be
some slight palliation, but-and We
blush for the commdnity-real estate
owners, some Of them owning property
to the value of several thousand dollars,
sold their votes for $40, SIS or $50. In
some cases the fathers included in the
bill OF sale the ballot Of their sons vot-
Ing for the FIRST time. Nor is this the
worst; Christians (?), men prominent In
church aud Sunday school work, who
pretend 10 instruct the less righteous
and lead the young In the straight and
narrow way, have delibera' ely sold
their manhood fer a trifing sum of
money.
SEAFoRD INDEX, NEUTRAL.
1T would seem from the two jollfica-
tions in town this week that both par
ties In Seaford are satisfied with the
result. Democrats do not seem to care
What becomes Of the Presidency so
Delaware remains In the Democratic
fo,d, aud Republicans appear satisfied to
let Delaware go To the winds SO long as
their friends eau elect their President.
HnuyA Ial
The United States is q growing, ex-
paniing nation, and the party that
would lead 1t must adopt broad aud
liberal policy commensurate with the
vast interests involved. Let our Demo-
cratic friends strive earnestly for the
happy medium between State rights and
National glory, and the next time they
lead their forces TO battle their victory
will be assured.
SUssBx JOURNAL, Dem.
Sussex may be placed with Kent,
heartily and unsQuivocally In favor OF
the return of the Hon. T. r. Bayard to
the U. 5. Senate, notwithstanding the
base ISLANDERS aud misstatements of
these organs, and her representatives
will cast their vote solidly in favor Of
his reelection at the next sessions of
our Legislature.
BATARD OR "NoBopY."
It is reported throughout The State
that Hon. T. F. Bsyard will run against
q snag In his canvass for reelection to
the United States Senate. 1t 10 claimed
that the Sussex county Democracy is
dissatisfied with him, and there may be
q combination in the Democratic mai
orIty in the Legislature which will re-
suit in his defeat. The failure Of the
Democratic party to carry New Castle
county 10 also expected 10 play its part
in the Senatorial election. Where there
is SO much smoke there must be some
dre, and we suspect there Is something
more than mere talk in this reported
opposition to Senator Bsyard. or
course Republicans are not expected to
have voice in the matter, and they can
only look on In the some spirit with
which the old woman Witnessed the
fight between her husband aud the bear;
she dldn't care which whipped. How
ever, Republicans would hugely enjoy
tue blunder of the Democrats in replac-
Ing Mr.. Bsyard by a nobody from the
lever end Of the Stats.-Netos and Ad-
pertiser.
