The Kent county oRrcus met in the
senate chamber and agreed upon the
Chicago delegates without opposition. Tue
committees were also quickly selected aud
the proceedings wers completed within
half hour.
The Suesex caucus lasted an hour and
half. John W. Causey and Governor
stOckley had been mentioned as delegates
and each desired to decline In favor OF the
other, but Governor Stockley proved the
most persistent deoliner, and Mr. Causey
WAS selected. There WAS a spirited CON
test between Col. X. l.. Martin and DR..
Charles A, Richards for the other delegate,
but Col. Martin proved successful. AL
other cRucus matters were easily disposed
Of.
When the convention assembled every
thing was arranged and ready for con
irmation, excepting the declaration of
principles, and the brief, but admirable,
report made by the committee on resOlu-
tions fairly took the convention by storm
Everyone felt the propriety OF making
lust the kind OF an announcement the
committee had formed, and the couoise,
effective presentation OF Senator Bayard's
name to the Democracy OF the country as
the candidate OF sll others for the Presi-
dency .. the United States made the
convention hall fairly ring with applause.
Chairman Reynolds opening speech
started the enthusiasm. DR.. Cooper, the
president OF the convention, gave It fresh
impetus by his admirable remarks on ao-
cepting the chair, and the climax WAS
reached when the COMMITTEES on resolu
tiOns presented the declaration that the
nomination of Senator Bsyard for the
Presidency 'would furnish at once
platform and candidate" and that his
election "would satiaty the highest ambi-
tion of the American people"
1t was great day for the Delaware
Demooraly and fairly inaugursted the
Bayard movement in manner that
augurs well for its ultimate SUCCESS at
Chicago.

Society of Delaware College was held last
evening in large and commodious tent
on the college campus. A large audience
was In attendance. The stage WAS elab-
orately trimmed with flowers and en-

The exercises opened with prayer by
the Rev. R. Il. Williams of Annapolis.
After an address by the chairman, b. G.
Woolley, G.. A. Carpenter delivered the
society address, his subject being, "The
State not Your Calling"
The orator Of the evening, Charles
Emory Smith, editor in. chief of the
Philadelphia lfess, was then introduced.
His subject was "Youth and Success"
After citing many remarkable instances
OF the early development Of the orstorichl,
intellectual and poetioal powers in young
men Of antiquity he came down to modern
times, which are 30 prolific in the pro-
duotion OF youths OF exceptional mental
superiority and executive ability. The
most responsible and trustworthy posi-
tions on the railroads OF the country,
said he, are expected to be filled by
young men. In all positions where q
larse degree Of competency is desirable
comparatively young men are chosen.
The speech was delivered in free voice
and comprehensive manner and was
listened to by one OF the most spprecia-
tive and delighted audiences ever Assem-
bled In the town.

THE COUNTY oAUcUsEs.

Charles G.. Ash OF Delaware City pre-
sided over the New Castle county eau
Gus, which was held in the levy court
room, with ex.State Auditor John
Staats OF Blackbird as secretary. The
only "breeze'' that occurred was in re-
gard to filling two vacancies existing in
the White Clay Creek hundred delega-
tion. The three delegates present, led
by William Dean, wanted authority to
cast five votes, but the balance OF the
county delegation objected. Mr.. Dean
and his colleagues were given power to
fill the vacancies, but this they de.
clined to do, and the delegation re-
mained untitled. 1t made ho difference,
however, as the convention proceedings
were unanimously approved.
The election of Chicago delegates WAS
attended with considerable excitement.
There WAS practically no opposition to
George Gray, who received Sc OF the SO
votes polled, but the contest between
Messrs. Bates and Herbert was very close.
There was feeling that Mr.. Bates should
certainly be one of the delegates, while
the friends of Mr.. Herbert felt that 1t was
no more than proper recognition OF his
party services an abilities as an earnest
worker to send him as delegate. There

The Loss OGo Mother.

Thos, who are doomed to the mis-
fortune Of the loss of good mother in
their younger years, in a general sense
time assuages their sorrow, heals VI
the wound, and smoot hs over the Jagged
edges of an adversely that in late,
years becomes an irreparable calamity
We imagine that none feel the loss Of d
good christian mother more than the
child who has reached the silvery age
for to a mother her children are always
boys and girls, no matter how old they
may be, and to the child Of nearly three
score, the mother IA score Of years older,
with her time wrinkled face, her silver
crown Of honored hair, and ever watch
ful eye, appears as dear and as lovely
as in the days of her youthful vigor
we looked upon her as a queen amongst
her sex. The slider such mother gets
the dearcr she gets. With what anx.
ious care and solicitude We watch
every change, the faltering gait, and
listen to the tremulous voice She
knows she is failing but her love and
anxiety for her dear boys and girls all
| the time increase. Their every success
brings joy to her heart their failure,
and faults bring corresponding pans
of sorrow. Such mother whose year.
have run away up beyond the four
score period, it would not be idolatrl
toworship-to, love, is but feeble expires
sion ofthe heart. Does such a mothcrdie'
Does she not rather sep over the mar
row boundaries Of the grave into th'
blissful golden period of another an,
better world ?

Daily Republican., 1884-02-25

If THE SPIRIT of the resolutions
passed ut u meeting Of Republicans who
met in Mott Memorial Hall, New York,
on Tuesday, is carried out there need
be no fear of a solid Republican victory
at the next election. The first resolu.
tion demands that the character, recopd
and political associations of the Repub-
lican candidates for President and Vice
President shall be such as to warrant
entire confidence in their readiness to
defend the principles of administrative
reform heretofore endorsed by State and
National conventions. The second and
third resolutions repeat in substance
the first one adding that no interfer-
ence with the free choice of delegates to
the National Convention by Congress
sional districts should anywhere be
tolerated" The next resolution is to
the effect that representation in the Ma
tional Convention should be based on
the Republican vote in the States and
Congressional districts. A similar
plan is now followed in some of the
States in apportioning delegates to the
State Conventions, and it looks only fair
that the National Convention should
adopt the same plan.
This would give the larger represen-
tatinn to the States which do the most
to elect the candidate, and, though it
would not disfranchlse the Southern
States, which is not likely to give soli-
tary electoral vote for Republican
candidate for years to come owing to
bloodshed and terrorism that prevail in
some of them, it would, in measure,
prevent those States from debating a
candidate they can do nothing towards
electing. The last resolution calls for
the appointment of a committee to pro-
vide for the interchange and practical
expression Of opinion in harmony with
the spirit of the foregoing resolutions I;
and to perfect such organization as may
be necessary. The meeting showed 50
much faith in the manner in which the
selection of delegates to the National
Convention has thus far been conducted
that an effort in the direction of a per-
manent organization was opposed.
Though the resolutions will be heartily
approved, fortunately there seems to be
no necessity in carrying out the avowed
purpose of the meeting, which evidently
was to influence the action of the Chica-
60 Convention, and to lead it TO select
candidates in harmony with the spirit
of Saturdays resolutions.
