Daily Republican., 1882-07-21

The custom of permitting the suo.
cessful candidate for the nomination
tor Governor to name the State Central
Committee is one that could be discon.
tinued without injury to the party. AS
the delegations from each county meet
in caucus to determine their course
and to agree upon principles, it does
seem to us that just then would be a
good time for each delegation to choose
the members of the committee to which
each county is entitled. The 70 dele
gates from New Castle county, should
be as able to name five active respon-
sible Republicans to act as members of
the committee as either Mr.. Fooks or
Mr.. Curry from Sussex in the event of
their nomination would be, and we are
sure that the 80 delegates from Kent
and the 40 from Sussex are Just as com.
petent to name their committee as New
Castle, or as any one man who may be
nominated for Governor. Republican
ideas lead to the distribution of power
and patronage and not to their concen-
tration. In matter so important the
selection of eleven men for State Cen.
trail committee should not be left 10 the
T artiality, the whims or the prejudices
of any one man in the State, no matter
how much he may have been favored
by his party or what his inf uence may
be.

THE ORDINANCE introduced into the
City Council last night to regulate the
weights and measures in the city mar.
kets, and to appoint an inspector who
shall also be clerk of the market,
will meet the hearty approval of every
housekeeper. Without being egotistic
or self Mandatory, we are nevertheless
pleased that the REPUBLICAN entered
the fight against these market vampires
single handed, and no less pleased that
the fight against them has resulted as
we intended it should in driving them
from the market. There will be rat
Ting amongst the short measures and
weights when the ordinance introduced
last night passes.
