The meeting at the headquarters of

city. This feature of the case, therefore,
is clearly understood. The Republicans
of Wilmington are undoubtedly op.

In addition to the very full report of
this meetingof Republican remonstrants
which we print in to.day's paper, will
be found another protest against the
Police Commission bill, signed "A
Democrat" The writer doubtless has
good and sufficient reasons for voicing
his opinions over a nom de plume, but
we can assure all who read his warning
words Of protest that he is what he signs
himself, in all that the word implies.

A Rebuke to the PIace-hunters.
Abiding to Senator Gorman's inter
view with q delegation Of Maryland
ottice-seekers at Washington, in which
he expressed fear and regret that
the recommendation of the Maryland
Senators and Representatives might not
have the same weight with the cxecu-
tive that in his opinion they should
have, the Baltimore Sun says:
The recommendation Of Congressman
in behalf OF a constituent applying for
office should have no more weight than
that of any private citizen of equal char
acter and intelligence. 1t should be in no
sensG considered rs either authoritative or
binding, Such recommendations are beyond
the scope Of the duties Conlded by the
people and the laws to members of Con
Rress, and they tend to interfere with and
embarass, instead of aiding, the freedom
OF choice ana discretion vested by the con-
stitution i'll the appointing power.
Continuing, with special reference to
the rather remarkable claim put forth
by Senator German during this interest
ing interview with his office seeking
constituents, the Sun further says:
When, therefore, Senator German adds
to the language we have Just quoted the
further declaration that THE men Who
have contributed to the success the party
has achieved are the men whom we wish
to see rewarded and none others need
apply" he is but putting in words little
