60 the Polls - Democratic Meeting
Populists Porfeoting Their Organization
For the first time this campaign the
victorious career of Frederick Eden
Bach, private secretary to Senator
Higgins and by virtue thereof local boss
OF the Republican party, has been
checked. He has been beaten. The
party in Wilmington got tired of his
leadership and "called him down"
Tho contest was over the nomination
OF candidate for Representative from
this city. The Higgins machine-that
Is, Bach and the Senator-insisted upon
having Philip @. Churchman, Senator
Higgins law partner. A great many
Republicans wanted Samuel II. Bay
nard. Mr.. Baynard did not want to
run, but finally yielded to the pressure
and consented. Philemma Chandler
and William f. Robinson were also in
the field, but II was apparent to every
body that the fight was between Bay
nard and Churchman.
And during the past week it also be-
came apparent that Baynard would
win. Even Bach finally recognized that
the machine was beaten, and so he pro.
posed compromise-everybody to get
out of the fight aud make room for a
new man. Churchman had to do what.
ever Bach said. Baynard did not care
for the nomination and was perfectly
willing to wave it aside. The other two
had no show if they stayed in. And SD
the compromise was effected.
Frederic Pyle, treasurer of tho g. &
j. Pyle Co., was proposed and agreed
upon. Upon consideration that there
should be no contest he consented to be
a candidate for the Republican nomina.
ton for Representative in the General
Assembly from this city.
AND THEY ALL GOT OUT.
