WIN, usu Mr. Enz rd Done?

what WRs Mr. Ray rd DORe?
Senator Bsyard is now serving his
Twelfth year in the United States Ssn.
ate and in his party he has become
national in his reputation as lsGder,
and yet when We come to aft the pro
oeedings Of Congress from the time o.
his entrance into the Senat. until the
present time, it will be found that there
Is scarcely Senator in that body who
has MOTTO his oreditmore real solid work
for his constituency and State than Mr
Bayard has. His abilities ere conceded
even by his most intense partisan op
pOnents, hence tho Sreater expectation
OF fruitful work and good results. But
after We have admitted his trapa03nd-
ent abilities which are not greater
than possessed by many other Sons OF
Delaware, are there any of his most
fulsome fatterers and devout worship
ers who can refer the public to any
single AOt of general Importance that
has been passed by his influence, or
TO come nearer home, any measure that
has been Of aHy great benefit to his
own State.

In humanitarian objects, embracing
the Indian troubles be has bsen as si-
lent as the grave. 0n moral reforp
subjects, he is generally found in oppo
sition. Only on what 10 dsnominated
sound currency does he excel. This
however is not to be locked over ligh.
ly for II Is an important subject, but
in this he has drawn his inspiration
from the Republican party while the
great body Of his own party bow down
in obeissnse TO the rag baby. Bat b..

equal justice to every man in his own

tY, Mr.. Bayard's native heath, hss
more than half the population of thu
Stats, and has only one third of the
representation in the State Legislature,
and yet his voice has never been raised
against this Ronstrous injustice.

Of Acknowledgement, Mr.. Bayard might
not be able to retain his seat in the
Senate. Aside from all this aEd in the
Light of recent events, the suspicion
has grown into reality that Mr.. Bayard
is a political tricks'er. His effort at
the recenssession of Congress, to force
upon the Country law to allow all cit
izsns to be free from arrest on the day
of the election, places him in the front
rank Of the petty politicians. A more
outrageous, and infamous bill could
not have been enacted, and but for the
interposition Of the veto of Presi-
dent Hayes, we should have been to-
day at the mercy Of roughs, rspeaters,
and ballot box suffers at all OF our
polls, throughout the country. The Bay.
ard Bill was virtually free licsnse on
the day of the el4otion for the very
worst elements In the country to de
prive the peaoeable oitizsps OF their
votes, and to so manipulate the ballot
as to outnunlber the legal votes in the
ballot boxes, by the most outra geous
and stupendous frauds. The. Bayard
Bill il enough In itself to disgust any
decent and respectable Democrat, not
only with Mr.. Baysrd but with the
party Of which he is a representative
member.
