Before the Democratic nomination
for President at Chicago, Senator Bay
ard and Senator German, Of Maryland,
were in every respect, but in name, a
veritable pair OF Davids and Jona-
thans. Senator Bayard had known
Senator German from the latter's boy
hood. He had watched his maturing
manhood with admiration, and his poll
teal sagacity and honesty gave him
the greatest of pleasure. The admission
of no other Maryland statesman as his
peer in the Senate could have received
heartier welcome from the Delaware
statesmen.
AS the Chicago nomination drew
nigh, Mr. Bayard wanted leader to
champion his claims for the nomina-
ton at Chicago, and naturally enough
who should his choice fall upon than
brother German the Jonathan OF the
campaign. Into his hands were com
mitted Senator Bayard's interests, and
knowing they were ingood hands he sat
dow by the telegraph instrument to
hear the result Of the battle. But soon
the committee having Mr.. Bayard's
interests In hand at Chicago at the
head Of which was German, found q
screw loose somewhere and that screw
was Gorman himself They found that
| if German was Senator Bayard's tower
Of strength he had tottering tower.
In fact the committee could scarcely
see how Senator German WAS working
for Senator Bayard at all. He scarcely
attended any OF the com ni,tee meetings,
took no interest in their proceedings,
and made unseemly haste to turn the
vote of Maryland over TO Cleveland be-
fore there was any real necessity for it.
1t is needless TO state that there Ia no
David or Jonathan in the case now b.
| tween the two Senators, and II may be
ltruthfully said of them that though
lovely and pleasant they have been in
their lives up to the Chicago Conven-
ton, that relationship has been ruth
lessly sundered In fact the estimate
in which Senator German is held by
Senator Baya Is best expressed by the
reported fact that they no longer
speak as they pass each other" In
consequence of this volcanic eruption
between these two Democratic leaders,
IL is said that Senator German has
announced that he is not q candi-
date for a cabinet position. II is con
sidered essential that Senator Bayard
should be one Of President Cleveland s
cabinet advisers, and be is said to have
given emphasis to the expression that
he would never enter cabinet OF
which Arthur German was a mem er

The GOxernOr.

InThe contest for Office of the Legis-
lature that for Speaker Of the Senate
seems TO attract more than usual in
ierest. The Speaker of the Senate be-
comes Governor of the State in case OF
the death, resignation or removal of the
Governor. II is generally conceded
that the next Governor OF Delaware
will come from New Castle County,

question is who shall he be ? Ex.

Tne Great RepubIisan Paper.

During the late political campaign
the New York Tribune took the lead
early for the nomination of James G.
Blaine, and maintained 1t until Blain,
and Logan honored the banners OF tn,
Republican party, for President and Vic,
President. After the nomination
while nearly all the leading New York
Republican papers faltered and ther
fell into the embrace of Democracy
Cleveland and tree trade, the Tribuu,
not only stood faithfully in its place
but by renewed vigor and enterprise
filled the gap made by the deserters. A
more gallnt, noble fight was never mad,
for Presidential candidate than tn.
New York Tribune made for Blaine.
Nor has this great Republican papel
gone without its reward for clinging Il
principle and throwing expediency Il
the winds. Its hdelity TO the Re

test ever made has made it the leading
