Editor Gosstfe,: Perhaps nothing
abaorbs the interest Of the voters Of Della
ware more now than the United States
aeuatorship. As the time Is near At
hand when Governor Cleveland will BIS
inaugurated President, and soon after his
cabinet will be appointed, the interest
on this question increases. II has been
indicated that Hon. Thomas =. BAyArd
will occupy an important place in the
cabinet Of the next President, and no
doubt there ia not q man in the nation
more fitted for such 4 position than he |;
and II he will consent the President
would gladly appoint him. Therefore,
II such . change takes place, who
will be Hon. Mr.. BAyard's successor
Hon. Charles B. Lore is the man that, by
all means, should succeed him. His name
has become household word in almost
every Democratic family in the State, and
many others Of the opposite party. He is
gentleman Of the highest order, and his
urbanity Of manners oommends him to
the people everywhere, and gives him an
influence In the national Congress which
scarcely any man especially in this State,
could acquire. In intellectual ability and
indefstigable efforts to promote .be inter-
ests Of this State, he ia equal to any, Il
not superior. No man would meet the
wants OF the people more than he. hone
he will be promoted from his present re.

The Now Year.


The year upon which We have Just
entered promises to be 4 memorable one
In the history Of our country. For the
first time within the memory Of many Of
our readers a radical change in the
national administration Is about to bs
effected. The current Of Capitalization
which has been surging for "a years and
which at its hight threatened
TO sweep us on far towards,
II not really into, thinly
disguised imperialism has been stayed,
and we are once more free men instead
Of vasssls. The foul waves Of corruption
in high places have been rolled back, aud
"the rsscals" have boon notified that
their era Of misrule Ia over. The de-
generate forces Of the most dAn-
gerous and most gullibls elements in our
population, under the leadership Of the
most interruptions Of their prominent
men, have been overthrow and routed,
and cur nation has escaped the dishonor
Of an administration which must have
brought us shame and may have
brought us the worst perils CT "strong"
misgovernment.
We trust, therefore, that the year 1885
will be memorable In the history Of our
country as the era Of its disenthrallmeni
from organised corruption and csntrAlizA
tion and Its regensi alton as . true repub
loan government administered upon tbs
principles laid down in the consti
tuition. We trust that th,
struggle out Of which We hsv,
happily come will be proven
by the events Of this and succeeding
years to have demonstrated that tn,
American republic was founded in wis
and enduring principles that, in thi
country, the theory Of self government
has been shown TO be no iAllscy, ant
that, although q government by tn
people may not always be, what IL shOul'
be, government by the bes
and wisest elements Of the people, YET
when the danger becomes imminent thee
best and wisest elements may be truste
to awake to the emergency and tax
charge Of the ship Of state in tine TO say
ii from being driven upon the breakeri
We have learned that It Is better to be
Republic with big R than Nation wi.
a big N.
