The BAYARD CANDIDACY.-The
singular fact about the Smvrna Record.
opinion is that it does not want Mr..
Bayard for candidate. 1t deals with
Mr. Byard as man in the most com
fashion, but from Mr. Bav.
ird as Democratic candidate for gov
'rnor of this state it very respectfully.
'ut very distinctly and firmly, begs to
'e excused. Its argument is that any
,ood WalcOtt Democrat can be nOmina-
Ell aud elected by the Delaware Demo-
rats, and therefore there is no neces-
,ity for dragging Mr. Bayard again
ntO public life; )" and on the other
lhnd. if Mr.. Bayard should be nomina-
ed, ''all the venom. the malace, the
'rejudice Of Eli Salisbury and his few
PERSONAL friends will be turned to de-
aiming him." and from this unpleasant
ate the Record wishes, sadly but firm.
y to preserve him. Morning Nelcs
