Down here in this section OF Kent
County we feel the death of Chancellor
Willard salisbury keenly and deeply.
This old Hundred Is alive with memo
ries OF the dead iurist and his whole
family. 1t was here the boys were
born and we older men can look pack
and Eli were young men, aud rec all
the fact that there were not in all the
State set of boys who were more
)ciable, brighter. truer friends than
taese same Salisbury boys.
No wonder they became leaders In
our party. Men were attracted to
them because Of their uanly qualities,
tried and true as steel were they to
their party and friends. and above ali
petty trickery or observation-disclosures in
their own purity. 1t is sad thing for
us Democrats of Kent county to con
template the change which has come.
especially when we know SO well how
il has been brought about. To think
of such men as Willard and Cove
salisbury of Kent, and Charles b. Lore
OF New Castle, and A. =. Robinson OF
Sussex, being superseded by Bayard
and Gray of New Castle, Reynolds and
Wolcott and LOWS of Kent, and the
harTels of Sussex, it 10 enough to

how these grand, unsellsh and bril-.

and pelf than they did for party prln-
ciple.

Legislative lobbying, is to be Chancel-

gentlemen as a. +. Robinson to as
