Why Gray was left out.
AE WAS REJECTED BECAUSE BAYARD
COULD NOT CONTROL DELAWARE.


WILMINGTON, April 3O.-The nomi-
nation of Mr.. Fuller for Chief Justice
was not a surprise to Senator Gray's
friends here. At one time the Presi-
dent had fully decided to appoint Mr..
Gray to the position but was prevent
ed by two considerations. The Asso-
clate Justices were opposed to him on
the ground of his youth, but this would
not have decided the matter. 1t was
found impossible to appoint Senator
Gray and preserve harmony in the
Democratic party in Delaware.
Senator Gray represents the Bayard
wing of the party in the Senate. He
was elected Senator by a compromise
which gave the Salisbury faction con-
troll of the State government Bv
means OF the extraordinary powers
invested in the Executive by the Con-
stltutlOn of Delaware, Governor Biggs
has got complete control of the State
government, and it is very doubtful if
the Legislature to be elected this fall
could be carried for the Bayard faction.
Friends of Secretary Bayard have been
canvassing the State very closely for
four weeks to find out the chances of
electing Legislature which would en-
sure the return to the United States
Senate next winter of the Secretary or
one of his friends. The result was
most discOuraging. Mr.. Bayard has
been away from the State almost con-
stantly for more than three years, and
in the mean time the Salisbury faction
has been steadily increasing its
strength. Appeals were made to the
State pride of the Delaware politicians
of the Salisbury faction to induce
them to agree to elect Mr.. Bayard to
the Senate, should he desire it, or
some one in his interest. 1t was in
vain.
Ex-COngressman Charles B. Lore
was the candidate for the Senate
against Mr.. Gray, and might have
been elected if he had not withdrawn
from the contest. He has Leen grow
ing in strength ever since and is ready
to turn in and defeat the Bayard can
didate for Senator four years hence.
Many inducements were held out to
the salisbury men to make some sort
OF compromise, but in vain. Governor
Biggs insisted that he would work in
the salisbury interest
The election of two Salisbury faction
Senators was too much for the
Bayard faction to stand, and in conse-
quence Senator Gray reluctantly with
drew as candidate for Chief Justice
and will be the leader of the Bayard
faction for four years more, in the hope
that by that time events will have So
shaped themselves that he can be elec-
ted his own successor or turn the seat
over to Secretary Bayard.- COrrespOn-

The Republicans of the New York
State Senate have passed the High Lii
cense bill and it now goes to the Gov
ernOr for his approval or rejection.
The Republicans Of that State have
been playing long while to get Hill
where he could be held, and as this
License bill has been carfully drawn
to fit his objections to the last one, it
looks as though David Bennett had
run the length of his rope but yet it is
believed he must veto it.

Senator Kenn.,.
Warrentown yirginian.


Senator Kenna, of West Virginia,
delivered speech, on the first day
of this month, in the U. S. Senate
III reply to Sherman's attack on the
Presidents message which reminds
us, in several of its passages, of the
indignant Outbursts of the Younger
Pitt, in his palmiest DAYS. He
strips this republican leader of all
the disguises in which he has been
masqueridipg, and exhibits to the
country the old political prostitute
in all his naked deformity, and it
was deity done with a mastery
hand, without transcending the
prOprieties OF debate. The old sin
ner was dumbfounded under the
operation. He attempted an inter
ruption, but once, and was so over
whelmed in the encounter, that he
maintained discreet silence during
the remainder of the exposure.
The first point made by the West
Virginia Senator, was that Sherman
had so garbled message of Mr..
Jefferson as to make it sustain a
proposition that it expressly repu-
dated. He then called to the stand,
the Ohio Senator himself, and by
numerous extracts from his speeches
of late years proved he had advo-
Gated the very recommendations
contained in the message of the
President. This part of the opera
ton was performed with power OF
discrimination in selecting and ar
raging the quotations that it was
impossible to evade their lointed
force. Mr.. Kenna also referred to
Sherman's attitude on the wool
question and represented him as en-
deavoring ''to pull the wool over
the eyes of wool growers, in pur-
suanee of his declaration, made in
open Senate, in 1881, that anything
that will beat down that party and
build up our own is justifiable in
morals and in law"
But no summary can do justice to
the brillianey and power of the
speech A Damascus blade finished
the work done by the Club of Her
cules- Let every one who feels in
terested in clean and honest politics
and politicians, write to his repre-
sentative or to Senator Kenna for a
copy of the speech He will then
see, that for unmasking hypocrisy,
for the scathing exposure of insin-
certify, and low, dirty partisansliip,
no speech delivered in Congress
years back equals it.

Wheeling Register; The Democrats
Of West Virginia have had an OPP
portunity to estimate the real
strength of the opposition that will
meet them in the coming political
conflict. Their enemies have ex-
posed their hand and their plans are
known. Al republican convention.
has determined upon a vigorous and
aggressive campaign They will
enter it stimulated more than ever
before by the hope of success, The
means to attain that success have
been we'll considered. The infiu-
once of a strong, active club is po-
tential in the political of comma
nifty, and many such clubs have
becy organized by the Republican
party in the State.
Are they to have the field alone?
Is it not time for the Democracy of
West Virginia to prepare them
selves in like manner?
Secure in tho certainty of large
majority, they have been careless
and neglectful too long. Their OPP
Ponents have made gradual gains.
1t is time to waken up from this al
most fatal slumber. We have a real
political fight before us, and it is
we'll to begin early to consider the
means that will ensure party success.
There is no good reason why
every Democratic voter in the State
should not be enrolled in a Demo
cratic club. Under the supcrvis-
ion of the State Executive Commit
tee, or any proper body that might
be selected, such an organization
accomplished, and its effect would
be certain. With the Democratic
hosts of West Virginia, constituting
an unquestioned majority of the
voters, arranged in solid compact,
victory is assured. Our opponents
only hope is based on Democratic
apathy and listIessness. With prop
er organization and good candidates
there can be no apathy or listless-
ness.
1t behoovcs us then to be up and
doing. The enemy are already in
the field. Democrats must prepare
to meet them face to face. They
must oppose disciplined forces to
disciplined forces, army against
army. This and this only will in
sure certain success. Let it be
done, and West Virginia will bury
the republican minority under a
mountain of honest ballots.

and war Claims

The bill introduced in the House
by Mr. Hogg for charging the iuris-
diction of the Court of Claims so as
to cover ali cases now referred TO
the Committee on Claims and War
Claims, provides for increasing the
number of judges of the court from
five to seven, and also for the
creation OF a Court of Pensions,
consisting of Chief Justice and
two judges, for the final adjudication
of all claims that on account of de-
feet in the law, or for other causes.
have been rejected by the Commits
sioner of Pensions.
The establishment of these addi-
tional facilities for the adjustment
of private claims is dictated by
sound wisdom and constantly in
creasing necessity.
As Congress is essentially a Iegisla-
tive and nota judicial body, it should
be relieved, as far as possible, of
functions that pertain to the admin
lstratlon of the law rather than to
the law-making power; and it is to
be hoped that some such bill as this
will be passed at the present session.
The result will be to lift an oner-
GUS burden from the committees
and save to both houses much time
that now has to be devoted to the
consideration of reports and the
passage OF bills of Il purely private
nature.
1t would be likewise in the inter
est of claimants, greatly facilitating
the disposition of their cases, and
by removing them wholly from the
atmosphere of partisan controversy
make assurance doubly sure of ex-
peditious and unprecedented decis-
