The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1892-01-29

plain the selfishncss of individual
Democrats ana the want of concert in
the party at present in Delaware, 1t Is
the howl of indignation that Is
heard from ono quarter and another at
every appointment Of the loayes and
fishes OF eIsics. 10 the more respect
able element Of the party the Idea OF
appointing John T. Dickey, OF VII
mington. receiver OF taxes, WAS hight
Objectionable, but for his own purposes
Governor Reynolds disregarded such
objections.
R. r. Kenny and Ezekiel Cooper. OF
this town, had, by their connection
with the waste Of the public money
in militia iunketing, made themselves
obnoxious to the whole community,
and by the nefarious means they en-
ployed to obtain delegates to vote for
the nomination of Mr.. Reynolds as
governor at the convention, were re-
pudiated by the whole party in Kent
county.
Nay, 1t was even required of Mr. Rey-
nolds as a pledge after he had obtain
ed the nomination and was "hnstling
for votes" that these two gentleman
should have no recognition. Now Mr..
Cooper lie Register of Wills In and for
Kent county. and Dir. Kenny and his
wife have obtained situations through
Governor Reynolds in connection with
the Worlds Fair.
Stephen K. Belts, whom the Wolcott
men say Ia no democrat at all, but
1.-THE open hayward life we see. the
secret hidden springs We may not
know But we do know that he stood
firmly by John +. Salisbury IN his
fight against tho unit Rulers, and
for his participation In that fight Gov
ernor Biggs was compelled to make a
martyr of him by turning down his
application for an Office under him.
But now under Governor REYNOLDS
regime Mr.. Belts i5 In the Prothono-
tary's office for Kent county to the dis
gust OF the solid Democrats OF Duck
Creek and Milford Hundreds.
The Democrats Of Sussex denounce
in strong terms the provision which
Governor Reynolds has made at the
public expense for mis- relatives Josiah
p. Marvel and his son. They say
neither ever belonged to tho party and
that JOSIAH received the sum OF $500
for his assistance to defeat the Demo-
cratic ticket at the election of 1883. III
fact II appears from the manner In
which some Democrats here talk that
Josiah never belonged to any party
either IL religion or politics save his
own Marvel party.
And SO every appointment to Office
| that Governor Reynolds has made
since his Inauguration has been open
to criticism from one quarter or an.
| other. But on such appointers does
| Mr.. Reynolds depend fer support in
| his pretensions TO succeed the Hon.
| George Gray as United States Senator
| But DIS an old friend Of Senator Gray's
| said 10 tho writer, Governor Rey-
nolds will find 1t hard 10 make a
| whistle out OF q pigs tail" and rs
| Shakespeare has more elegantly said.
Time shall unfold what plated cnn-
ming hides, who cover faults at last
shame them derides.'
But II the appointments are so very
unsatisfactory, what shall we cay re-
gardlng the disappointed ones, the
| men who fought Robert j. and the
init Rulers tooth and nail up to the
eleventh hour and who from promises
OF reward made. 'Gell into line but
who now, after having been used, arc
| treated with worse than indifference,
think, myself, there will be some
| difficulty in pacing Charles IL. h. Day
and some others that | know of. Mr.
Jay has rendered tho party, not the
| state, some service, and the party
knows it. 1t Is said it WIS he in con-
junction with 1hos. i. Bayard that con
| cocted the Ubiquitous delinquent tax
| law.
He was the professed friend of the
SaulsbuIys ana his antiputhy to the
| eynolds-Waleott Co. Building Ring
| was so great that he on - . orea siOu
| provoked q quarrel with Uneie Joe
Burchenal, and the result OF that WAS
| that Uncle Joe was al bat Ii eattri,-

wards gave to j, Frank Nllds. Then
there's Alex. Collins that WAS promiset!

On election day he fell into line
