"a BOURBON BLUMDERBuSs LOAD
I'D AT BorE EHDs."-Our Republican
contemporary, the Philadelphia IeIe-
graph, ge.s OF an amusing paragraph a
The expense of the Kent county Radi-
cal Ring, led by Richard Harrington
and ex-Judge Fisher, which laid the
plane aud hatched the plot by which it
was hoped to steal the seat of Col. Ed
ward L. Martin In the next Cong ess
According TO our mirth-provoking
contemporary these parties overlooked a
very dangerous and long forgotten
weapon. But we give the story in the
language OF its author. 1t is toe goo
to be damaged through abbreviation;
"rhe Republican managers in Della
ware have not cut a very brilliant figure
IN their contest with Democratic In
Justice. In fact, the outcome Of the
Houston vs.. Martin business is q forcible
reminder of the we'll known Beecherian
observation about foresight and bind
sight. The only reasonable explanation
the contes' ants can make is that they
didn't think In other words, they
didn't know the Bourbon blunderbus.
MAS loaded al both ends and warran &c
10 shout both ways. In order TO sav,
his Judicial bacon Mr.. Houston coEclu
ded not TO fight, and thus the question
OF the legality or illogalIty Of the Dem
oeratie laws will remain undecided. Blu
TIE most ludicrous statement yet pu
forth is the effort male bv some pre-
sumptuous political bumpku TO le
Judge Houston down easily before tL
country. This he does in special des
patch TO New York contemporary i
Mhich he says:-"The ease of the r.
publ.cans i'll Delaware, on most points
Is 81 overwhelmingly strong that it wa
MT well-judged step to involve Judg
Huston In . contest on dangerol
~ round, or TO attack the right OF Colon
Martin TO his seat, without deini
prospect Of changing the declared r
suit" For pure, unadulteratsd Bunsb
l. IN this extraordinary "opinion" tax
tile premium. Translated it appears
mean that Judge HoustoD's "case" W
''most too strong enough" or "not u
weak enough" or-we give it up.
The daily gazette., 1880-12-24

JUST So.-The Republican now says
it agrees with the GAZETTE that
there are several Wards Of this oity
that should be divided into election
districts, ts,-indeed there are none but
what would bear division. Even the
Ninth though polling but 460 votes
would make two very respectable elec~
tion precincts in Philadelphia. II ell
he Wards were SO divided that they
would contain no more than 800 votes
il would he much better than to have
them contain 500 or 100 and more. -
The First and Second Wards should
each be divied into two districts
three would do better for the Second !;
lie Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Sew
enth and Eighth into three each; the
Ninth into two; the Tenth into three
aud If West Wilmington aud Brown
town are to be annexed, they should
IN IKE the Eleventh Ward and one
polling place in that Ward would be
sufficient for the present"
Division is one of the inevitable
things that must follow in the wake OF
an increase Of the popula ion. 1t may
Oe that the alterations OF our charter
appear frequent to the members of the
General Assembly; but there is no helI
for it. In the progress of events the
same thing takes place in all the
States, and much more frequently ii
the Western States where towns grow
up to large cities in very brief peri
oGs.
1t will take some care and manage
IN mt to secure The best and most nat
ural divisions Of the Wards into dis
tricts. But there is no doubt Of tn
necessity for the change. How it will
DO made, or where the lines will /,
we do not know. Nor do we know
how many Wards will be asked for il
making the division. There may b
twelve or fifteen or th'-re may be bu
eleven, or no new ones asked for 50 fa
! as we know.

FaIsAY. DsCEMBER "a. 1880.
A PoL1rreAL BLusDER.-Now til

A PoLIrfeAL BLUNDKR.-Now thai
Judge Houston has Internationally
Withdrawn fiom the proposed contest
for the seat Of Mr.. Martin In Congress
the most reliable and influential Repub
licans are open In the denial Of ali con'
nection with the matter. Iu this cOun-
" we do not know that any Of the
party leaders avow their approval OF ii
Sons Of them, like the Republican,
gave their sanction W IL because Judge
Houston's name appended to the lonl
petition reciting the "swenty-foul
counts" gave the proposition formlda-
BILE aud serious look. But when ex-
amined its falsity exposed 1t to ridicule
and private denunciatlsn In all pats ol
the State. Some of the ablest Repsb H.
can party leaders disavowed their Ap-
proval Of II from the first. But most OF
them held their peace until the oslensi-
BILE author Of the petition concluded 10
withdraw ffom the contest. Yesterday
It was stated In one Of the Republican
organs that Anthony Higgins, K'q., had
not favored the contest and held il to be
q political blunder from the first. But
II was worse than q blunder. 1t vas a
mischlevous attempt u. damage the
eredi. Of the State Ia ihe esl nAtiou OF
the entire people, and to bri' them and
the lair and republican me lie Of their
fathers into disreputs anr oatempt to
bring 10 our State at he wy cost to the
Government Congressional Commit
tee, charged With political hostility TO
make an ssparts report damaging to our
people, to 70 forth under the sancsion Of
= great party organization that now
controls the government. Thi, was the
design; and upon such false and scan
dslous action the party leaders guilty OF
organizing and arranging this recent
plos TO destroy the decision OF free
aud fair ballot, hoped to climb to polili-
cal power and secure Official profit not
wilhstAndiAg they knew the decision al
the polls was one OF the fairsst thai was
ever made.
The manner in which the notice OF
this contest was served upon the Demo
cratic candidate was OF itself Suspicious,
and bore evidence Of sec, Ell conspiracy.
Like some dark deed it was hidden in
q mlnds OF those who conceived
1t until their hoped-for victim had
D ssed from his home and was, as the
cOnspirators supposed, absent from hiI
friends aud AdViSorS; so had they secret
ly watched and tracked him, and laid
10 wah for him aud approached him oI
the highway, with their detestible plo
vi which even their own friends ar
now ashamed. None but a mind suited
to and practiced in the ways Of a low
detective could have mapped out tn,
line Of policy the clique followed. NJ
wonder they are now laughed at anC
mAdo the scon Of wiser aud better mel
Of their own party both at home ant
abroad. To Judge Houston's bette
Judgment the Safe is indebted for bein
rid of the stigma these plot.ers hope
to brins upon it and the name of hi
great dec ased friend, John Nj. Clayton
who framed the Constitution OF Dela
ware, under which and in pursuance ,
which our elections are held. We al
certainly glad that the Judge hs
brought the work OF these parllsans
such u sudden termination. And he d.
serves the thanks of tue Republica
party for 1t.
