Trouble in Delaware.


New York sun.
A Wilmington despatch TO the Pbila-
deiphia Ledger contains this interesting
mixture Of fact and speculation:
THE situation in this state is so grave
that the Democrats fear they will not
carry the state In fact, it Is so grave
that IL ia attracting the attention Of
Ambassador Thomas +. Bayard. aud. n
the statementl Of the leaders OF his
party can be relied upon, Mr.. Bayard will
return TO his native state shortly after
the Democratic Convention In August,
aud Immediately assume charge Of his
party.
In the event Of the Democratic party
carrying the state. Mr. Bsyard will re-
turn TO the United States Senate, which
he vacated % becoms Secretary Of State
under President Cleveland's former Ed-
ministration. Some Of Mr.. Bsysrd's
friends say he will not return until after
the election, but the leaders Of the party
soy differently. Mr. Bayard has always
been opposed 20 officers Of the govern
ment stationed abroad coming home TO
take part IN political campaigns This
opposition was so strong that when he
was Secretary Of State. and foreign
minister applied for leave Of absence 20
take part IA a campaign, IL was refused F"
MIR Bayard's personal participation IN
the Delaware campaign is unlikely IN
less he has determined 60 resign his post
OF she anxiety OF the Delaware Demo.
Gratis there is on the other HAND, no
doubt. Honorable Anthony Higgins
gave them a cold surprise In 1883, and
now they are in worse condition than
then on account Of the Protection Popu
list course OF the Administration and
Congress
II Mr. Bayard is thoroughly Informed
In regard 20 delaware politics aud
national politics he must regret tho Say
when be made room for Honorable
George Gray iu the Senate The Demo-
Gratis OF Delaware doubtless share in
that regret.

what the Fourth Secs This Year.
When this Union was framed in 1776,
slavery existed in every section Of it.
When the states made their laws con-
corning suffrage 'fter the Revolution, a
property qualification for voting was IN
serted in the constitution of every one Of
them. We have travelled on, up and
down hill, for lis years. AS we went
along we have left behind us some bur
dens that we took with us ia the begin
Ming. They he by the roadside of his
tory, useless wrecks aud relics. one Of
these relics is slavery. Another is the
sectional sentiment that in consequence
Of it grew mp between north and south.
The United States as a whole was never
so near being that "more perfect Union"
the fathers dreamed of as it is today.
Never before was there so strong ma
tional sentiment that took in the whole
country. Let us remember this and be
thankful.
It is true there are some clouds and
disturbances in the national sky. There
are strikes and labor troubles. The cur
rency and tariff questions are problems
for which at the moment there seems no
adequate solution. Yet let no Amer
lean heart doubt but a solution will be

Great tasks are before MS as a nation
in connection with our well being al
home. This Fourth Of July is the time
10 consider them seriously. One is the
cleansing and reformation Of American
municipal government. It is a blot and
a disgrace on our fair fame. The rev
Citations lately made in large cities in
every portion Of The Union show that

has so affected them that they are still
"groggy" or are crawling to their corner.
Everybody expected TO see them get up
and strike at the air but there seems to
have been no attempt at fighting One
part Of Mr. Terry's arraignment Is:
Two things have dampened the ar Tor that
some of us have once feit nnd'the interest we
once Took In the success OF this party. One
thing was the utter lack Of sincerity on the
part OF some Of the recognized leaders of the
party and the other Is what for lack of 4
better term 90 describe y, must call the ex'
ueme narrow mindedness, the intense
partisanship, the undisgused phariseelsm of
large proportion OF the rank and file OF the
party. That spirit that denounces as
unworthy OF the name OF temperance people

as they vote, and train their thoughts down

however narrow th,t may be, rs 10 ap

even eenounces the idea of united eiiori

because they claim the right to follow theil

every American freeman. When does AM
sane man expect 10 convince another who hsl

Enough OF solid truth to serve, indeed
