still Hold the Key to the Position-Who
Is Elected in Kent.
Under the results Of the late cleo
tion the Legislature at Dover will stand |
In the Senate Democrats and Repub. |
licans In the House Democrats and |
IA Republicans.
With these facts in view all logisla- |
ton must come under the rulings of the |
Democratic majority in the Senate.
On joint ballot the Republicans have |
majority of six. The limit of their
prerogative under joint ballot is the
election of a United States Senator,
which is compulsory under United
States law, which law appoints the
time and date therefore.
The State treasurer and auditor are
appointed by joint resolution in which
the Senate concurs or non-concurs.
In 1889 the Senate refused to concur
In the resolution naming officers Sc
lected by the Republican House. The
result was the passage of the following
resolution:
WHEREAS, The House of Representa-
tives has used its best endeavors to secure
the appointment of persons to the offices
of State treasurer and auditor respectively,
who are in political affinity with the ma
1ority of the members of the House; and
WHEREAS, 1t is now manifest that the
Senate is unwilling to concur in the APP
pointment of any person not politically in
sympathy with the majority Of that body;
and
WHEREAS, 1t is against the public inter
est that these important offices should
either be vacant, or any question exist as
to the legitimate exercise of the functions
appertaining thereto; and to the end that
the public interests may be properly sub
served, it is deemed polite and advisable
that the late incumbents of the said office
respectively should be reappointed thereto;
therefore, belt
ResolUed. by the House of Representatives
Of the State Of Delaware (by and with the
| concurrence of the Senate), that William
Herbert be and he is hereby appointed
| State Treasurer; and
Resolved, further, talso by and with the
/ concurrence of the Senate), that James ii.
Boyce be and is hereby appointed Auditor
Of Accounts. Adopted at Dover, February
10. 1889.
WHAT WILL ADDIcKs DO?
But the supreme question of the day
Is in regard to the United States Sena-
torship. The question everywhere
among the victorious Republicans is,
what will Addicks do2 They seem to
pay no heed to the distinct, emphatic
statement coming from his own mouth,
Yes, am openly candidate for the
United States Senate"
Higgins Republicans refuse to believe
that Addicks will dare to interfere with
the succession of their leader to seat
in the Senate. They are saying all sorts
of nasty things about him, making
charges, which had they been noised
about before election, might have had
some effect, but which will now go for
nothing but empty spite and will not be
credited.
The sub-lieutenants and underlinrs
among the machine workers of the Re-
publicans are dumbfounded and all at
sea as they are naturally in great
hurry to bend the knee before the
shrine of the rising sun. But they are
puzzled as to which is the rising sun,
Addicks or Higgins. They say they
think Bach knows. But he won't tell.
