Commission bill thr o,1gh in time to
head OF the new levy Court OF New
Castle County v.,as told in the REpuB
LLGAN OF las evening. Tho reason OF

1" REPUBLICAN faithfully ehronieled
~ & the Democratic Senators skipped
out of the chamber yesterday after
noon, and how they remained out, fol
fear the terrible Republicans would
spring a motion to adjourn upon
/ tnem.
And now they remained outside
until five O'Clock in the evening, and
then how they came in at last aftel
the Republicans had given them q
solemn pledge that they would not
jump oh them and adjourn the
Senate.
But for the other part the story-the
sequel, as IL were to the afternoons
pantomime. The Republican Sena,
tors, who knew not what political
trickery was, and who certainly did
not expect to find it In the Senate, had
their eyes opened by the afternoon
performance, and they kept them
open. Senator Moore had gone down
to his home in Sussex on the evening
train. expecting to be back in the
morning.
Late in the evening he received
there o despatch from Speaker Dona-
hoe, telling him he was excused until
Monday.
But the Republican Senators, as
stated, had their optics opened in the
afternoon. They were not to be
caught mapping, and fearing lust
something on this order II despatch
was sent to Senator Moore by Senator
Richardson. 'Under no circumstances
fail to be in your seat tomorrow"
| And it was well Senator Moore was
here for the same wire that carried
Speaker Donahoe's despatch 10 Senator
Moore, excusing him, carried two to
Senator Hall, but they were not fur
| Tough" dispatches, on the contrary
they read: BE here without fail to-
morrow morning Very Important
Senator Hall says he received two of

Senator Moore remained away tho
Senate would have stood: Democrats.
a; Republicans, 8, and the Five County
Commissioner bill might have passed.
| Isn't the game proposed plain enoughg
Don't it look a little like desperation?
Now, mark, there must be no intima
| ton in this that the venerable ex-
Governor Hall is now, or was, or will
be, u party In any way to the ''trickyn
phase OF legislation. In fact, from
Senator Halls own lips came these
! words last night: 81 am pledged to no
man on this bill. have told nobody
how | would vote on it,"
The worst feature of this whole bust

every point ayerred that In no wav
would they take advantage OF Senator
Williams illness to legislatr on any
measure no was known TO be Interested
in. They had majority in that SEN
ate for the most part of two days this
week, and yet they made 10 attempt
to take advantage of it. Then, how
must it appear to square minds, to
find some of Senator Williams Demo-
cratic btetheren willing to rush
through bill in which it is well-known
that he is vitality Interested. But 1t
was not 'rushed" all tile same.
