If Senator Gray should be made Chief-justice,
ex-Congressman Charles B. Lore. of Whining
ton, would be appointed by Governor Biegs
United States Senator to succeed him. A story
has been current that Secretary Bsyard. in the
event of Mr.. Gray's appointment to the Supreme
Bench, would be candidate for election Co the
United States Senate next winter, when the
Delaware Legislature will be in session. There
is probably no truth whatever IN this rumor If
such a thing as the election of RENT lican
President should happen next fall Mr.. Bayard
might be candidate AGAINST Mr.. Lore next
winter, but not otherwise Should Mr.. Gray be
made Chief Justice the two United States Sena-

and James L. Walcott. young lawyer of Dover

the false hopes aroused by the leaders OF

to victory was to be made easy by the
secret cOnniyance of the Governor who

be plotting a final discOm future OF his
successful opponent in the late nominat-

gotten up merely to deceive the ignorant
and to creatd false hopes destined to be
utterly dispelled on or before election
day.
