reproach of the Republicans OF this
state. Who the man shall be they
must decide.
Is it Mr.. Massey He is an able
man, but he refused to contest Mr..
Gray's seat in 1894, has alienated warm
personal friends of years by hispresent
mysterious candidacy, and Is credited,
without denial, with having defeated a
caucus. He urged Mr.. Higgins friends
before the caucus to never enter a
caucus because of his real or pretended
fear of Mr.. Addicks. Shall he be the
recipient of his own disloyalty to his
partyp
Isit Mr.. Addicks ? His election will
mean the defeat of the Republicans in
New Castle county, that is the opinion
Of the leading Republicans over the
entire county, and without New. Castle
county the State is hopelessly Demo-
cratic. This should be enough to
draw Mr.. Addicks out of the contest.
Is it Mr.. Higgins, the regular party
nominee, the leading Republican of
the State with an enviable reputation
of six years in the United States Senate
that makes HIM a national figure to-
day? 1t should be.
Is it "dark horse?" Then let it be
the ablest man, the truest Republican,
the best representative the General
Assembly can select. Elect q Re-

EVERY EVENINGS INSULT.

LAST Friday when Governor Marvil
was in the shadow of death, the Every
Euening. following its usual policy to-
ward all public men not of its political
household, had leading editorial. re-
ferring to the governor and Mr.. Hig-
gins, under the caption, "He Owns
the Governor" The occasion was the
announcement of the appointment of
three members of the State Board of
Health, merely honorary positions
without emoluments, and of which we
are assured Mr.. Higgins had nothing
to do. But it is the policy of that
paper-the paper selected by the ladies
of Wilmington for Woman's Edition.
Comment is unnecessary further than
to say the ladies who are Democrats
would never have chosen for such a
purpose paper that would similarly
misrepresent and abuse Mr.. Bayard
and Mr.. Gray, and such ladies would
be right.

An Aged Delawarean Passed Away.
Joseph Stidham Matthews, aged " years,
died on the. 9Th inst. at his homeIn Bellvue,

sided for number of years in Delaware,

his ancestors was DR.. Tymen Stidham,
who settled in Delaware in 1888, and was

GOVERNOR WATSON.

For the second time the Republicans
have lost a governor, and for the
second time Democrat succeeds him
under our undemocratic constitution.
The constitution of 1881 reverses the
decision of the people as expressed at
the polls last November and Demo-
crat becomes Governor by virtue of
his being Speaker of the Senate. He
will hold Office until the people elect
in November 1896, and thus the fruits
of Republican victory are passed over
to the Democrats.
So far as the offices are concerned
they are source of political weakness,
and only so far as the preference of
Republicans that Republicans be the
bene6ceries, is there any disappoint-
ment, but the execution of the laws,
the administration of the offices, is
another matter, and this will give to
the Democrats the same power for un-
just discrimination, practiced so long
and by so many. We do not condemn all
Democratic office-holders in the past,
for as honest men as the sun ever
shown on have some Of them been
while others have been the reverse.
Governor Watson will have an oppor-
portunity to show the metal he is made
of by his official appointments. We
believe he means we'll and we be-
lieve further that he will resist the
appeals of the political trickster and
place hunter. He manifested these
qualities in the Legislature of 1893 and
he shall have the hearty support of
the TRANSCRIPT in his every effort
for good government. He is our
Governor and as such we shall honor
and respect him.
The Grst Republican Governor of
Della ware, William Cannon, an uncle
of our fellow townsman, Mr.. Edwin
Prettyman, was elected in 1862, in
augurated in January, 1868, and died
March 1st, 1865, and vas succeeded by
Cove Salisbury, who was afterwards
elected for full term. He was one
of the ablest governors Delaware has
ever had, and we have hopes that in
this respect William Tharp Watson
will not be unlike him.

JOSHUA n. MARVIL.


Delaware has buried one of her
noblest sons, a man prominently OF
the people, who had come up from the
ranks with as good heart and kindly
a nature as ever dwelt in human
breast, Christian who lived the re-
ligion he professed. Such man was
Joshua II. Marvil, Governor of the
State of Delaware by the demand of
the rank and file of the Republican
party, by the unanimous call Of that
party in State Convention assembled,
and by the votes Of the people of this
Commonwealth. His opponent at the
polls, Mr.. Ebe W. Tunnel, is one of
the most honorable men in this State
and had he been elected every Della
warean would have been proud to have
acknowledged him as governor. But
the people willed otherwise, and the
people and nothing else, brought it
about. It was not any objection per-
sonally to Mr.. Tunnel, for those who
know the man know there could be
none, but the people desired a change
in the administration of public affairs,
they knew the integrity and the ex-
ecutive ability Of Joshua H. Marvil
and they sought to trust him with the
reins of government, to change the
methods in the State which had got
ten into machine ruts, and while no
one would doubt Mr.. Tunnell's desire
to give the people good government,
party promises had been made before
and had been broken and numerous
we're the Democrats who cast vote
for Joshua II. Marvil. His was call
from the people.
But he knew best his physical con-
dition, and as men Of his great nature
always do, he mistrusted his own
ability to meet the expectations of his
ideal of an honorable and capable
Chief Magistrate. For years his party
friends have urged him to accept NOM
ination and for years he resisted their
appeals. But last summer, knowing
his own condition far better than did
his party friends, and all the time re-
sisting, he yielded, was nominated, was
elected, was inaugurated, and served
his State, for Joshua H. Marvil was
not the governor of faction or a
party, but of the whole people as he
would have demonstrated had he lived,
he served his State less than three
months, and his memory as an honest
and capable executive officer, as an
honorable and good citizen, as a true
and devoted friend, as charitable and
consistent Christian, will grow greener
as the years roll by. May his life be
an inspiration to all public men to be
similarly frank and generous, and
pure.
