THE DEposED BARONS OF DELAWARE.
What the Republican Victory In Their
Domains Will Accomplish
Interesting History Of tho Houses oi
Bayard and salisbury.
Mrs. Endicott EniIvens Society by
Announcing the New Treaty.

WILMINGTON, Del, Nov. 8.-Secretary
Bayard's humiliation is rendered complete
by the action of the people Of Kent and
Sussex counties in Delaware. They have
elected Republican legislature, and the in
ia nous Bayard tax collection law will now
be repealed and Republican United States
Senator will be chosen to succeed Eli Sauls-
bury, Democrat. This is one Of the best
results of the late election. 1t completely
destroys the Bayard power in:Delaware, and
returns to the people of that State the man
agement of their own affairs. 1t is only by
the most fiagrant and ins0lent sort Of fraud
that Bayard has contrived SO faI to control
this Republican commonwealth. At any
time during the past ten years an honest
election would have resulted In his over
throw.
The Bayard tax law provides that every
voter In the State must register himself and
pay a poll tax before he can vote, the pro-
fessed intent of 1t being to secure correct
list of voters. But the assessors and other
officials who have control of the tax books
do not make .pretence. Of honestly enforc-
ing the law Their chief method of cheat
ing is to retain on their lists the names of all
delinquent Democrats and dropping the
names of all delinquent Republicans. Then,
by sitting infrequently, by adjourning as
soon as they have assessed their own parti-
oduos iodftHS uuuuItuS Oh Waltiug hepuDH-
caps unregistered, they manage to harass
and tire out enough Republicans to perpetu-
ate their rule.
They are cornered at last. A certain eager
young Democrat In Dover, James L. VOL
colt, who was brought up, so to speak, in
Senator Saulsbury's law office, aspired to
defeat his old friend and to elect himself in
the Senator's stead. The situation in Della
ware is peculiar. The Bayards, Thomas
Francis and bis father before him, have al
ways controlled the upper part of the State
The power of the Salisbury family extends
over Kent and Sussex. The Bayards and
the Saulsburys since the war have divided
Delaware between them. While, for mutual
defence, they have usually pulled to-
gether, their humor towards each other
has always been that iof cordial anim0sity.
In the late assault upon Senator Sauls-
bury by his some time protege. the Bayard
influence was cast for Wolcott, and the
friends of Mr.. salisbury were called upon to
choose between defeat at the hands Of the
Republicans or defeat at the hands of the
Bayards. They sagaciously preferred the
former.
This is the explanation of the Republican
victory in Delaware. Its consequences,
however, will be tremendous. The tax law
will go. The assessors will go. Honest
voters will be given a chance to cast an
honest ballot and to have it counted, and
from among the able Republicans of Della
ware Senator will be sent to WASHINGTON
who will represent the people and not him
self and his picture gallery of dead ancestors.

A SOLID SOUTH NO LONGER.
General Butler on the Meaning Of
the Republican Victory.

LOWELL, Mass, Nov. 9.-In speech last
evening General Butler foreshadowed the
future policy of the Republican party, when
he said that in 1890 comes new apportion-
ment, and then the great West would have
large proportionate gain, while no more rep
resentation can come from the South, unless
they divide Texas. There will be two new
States also. These States have been kept
out by Democrats, but there will be vote on
IL in the next Congress. That settles the
fact that no politician will ever war against
protection again. The next Congress will
reduce the tariff more than either the Mills
bill or the Senate bill.
On the negro question the General said
that many good people thought that when
the negro was given the ballot he was given
too,much. He respected their sentiments,
but it had to be done. and those who made
the negro man made him a whole one, in
stead Of a part of one. The General claimed
that it was not intended that the master
should cast the negro vote. But that is be-
ing done, and the electoral vote Of the South
ern States is being cast that way. In other
words, the negro vote is abridged. Ii it were

things Either Bowdoin societies are chang

years ago, not wholly and exclusively Greek,
or else another fraternity will soon establish
a chapter, there now being material enough.
That fraternity Is not unlikely to be Chi Psi.
They are a wealthy and active fraternity,
with chapters at nearly all the leading col
leges. They we're established at Bowdoin in
1874, and after 20 years existence entered in
to decline, so that in 1869 the chapter died
out. The last member was John @. Coombs,
