THE CONTENTS OF THE RESPONSE

A Hetteration OF the Former Position oi
Col. du Points Counsel, Together with
Lengthy Argument TO Meet Proportions
of Opposing Counsel.
The reply of counsel for Col. Henry
A. olu Pont TO the answer of opposing
counsel has been filed in Washington
before tho Senate committee ON cleo
tions. The document, which contains
40 pages, is a reiteration OF their former
position, together with lengthy argu-
ment to meet the propositions OF op-
posing counsel They deny the prupo.
sition that the functions OF Senator
are not suspended while he is exercis-
ing tho Office OF Governor.
Messrs. Wolcutt, Moore and Kurtz
had held in their reply that in the
Senate, on tho morning of May 9th,
1895, while that body WAS performing
its ordinary legislative functions,
Speaker Watson resumed the Speakers y
chair, which was then vacated by
Speaker Pro Tenn Records; that he put
motions and voted on several questions
before the Senate went into the Joint
session. They held that the Senate
hads thus passed upon Mr.. Watson IS
qualifications. In support of that they
had produced aflidavits Of Senator
Handy. Speaker Pro Tenn Records,
Clerk Hastings, ex- Congressman Pen.
ington and Il. ID. Hearn,
In answer to this Messrs. Bradford
Higgins and Paine argue that the Sen.
ate of tho State Of Delaware, neither
actively nor constIuctively, passed on
the qualifications Of Mr.. Watson as d
member of that body on the 9th OF May.
In support of this proposition they
present the aflidavits OF Senator AL
richs, Senator Moore and Clerk Edgar
y. Hastings of the House that Speaker
Watson did not perform tho Legislative
functions in the Senate prior to the
meeting of the Joint assembly.
Counsel for Mr.. du Pont, in their
reply, also emphasize their former con-
tention and still claim that the proper
Interpretation Of the Constitution abso-
lutcly vacates the office of Senator
when the Speaker of the Senate occu-
pies the Office of Governor, and that
those Speakers who thus exercised the
Office of Governor and returned to the
Senate were merely permitted to do so
by tho Senate. They also emphasize
tho point that no Speaker Of the SEN
ate, while exercising tho Office of Gov
ernor' ever actively participated in the
proceeding of the Senate whilo per-
forming the executive functions.
Aud as ono Of the strongest points
going to show that the Speaker under
these circumstances was suspended
from the Senatorial functions they
state as fact that from the adoption
of the Constitution of 1892 down to the
present moment no Governor of the
State OF Delaware who became such by
virtue Of section IA Of article 3 has
over claimed or been allowed the salary
Of Speaker of the Senate or of the
House of Representatives, or the salary
of a Senator or member OF tho House
Of Representatives, for any portion Of
the period during which he continued
in the Office Of Governor. -

Brother Pyle was successful in the
work because his whole heart was in
tho cause. He loved the schn0.; he
loved every scholar. We all mourn the
loss Of q dear leader and friend. His
constant thought seemed to be how
could he better the condition of the
school Let us remember that death is
not the end; there is hope beyond the
grave. Brother Pyle was an instrument
in the hands Of God in leading many
Of our teachers aud scholars into this
hope. 1t is the mission Of the school
to bring the scholars 10 Jesus. How
often Brother Pyle stood here and
pleaded with the scholars TO take Il
step towards Heaven! Have you taken
this step? Think about these things
and may his memory cause you TO act.
ln Brother Pyle's death there is another
tie that draws US towards Heaven. Let
us live faithfully, serving Him whom
brother Pyle served, ard continue In
the work he so dearly loved, "
Tho position of superintendent will
probably remain vacant until April.

tion will be held.
