I years of age Mr.. Ford was named for Coun-
Gil in the Third ward, but although he
made good fightthe Republicans carried
the ward He raI for the nomination Of
sheriff and came within sixty-one votes of
victory. In these contests Mr.. Ford dis
played his sturdy independence, refusing to
knuckle to boss rule. His bold and his
hard methods of fighting have won admir-
alton from his friends and praise from his
opponents.
Mr.. Ford will carry the primary election
in Wilmington almost unanimously, if not:
unanimously. During the past year his
friends have secured control of the Demo-
cratic machinary in this city. He will go
to Dover as the almost unanimous choice
of New Castle county, and Kent and Sus-
sex conceding the governor to New Castle
his nomination is assured.
Mr.. Ford is man of genial nature. of
sunny disposition, of most kindly impulses
and feeling. Despite the struggle he has
made for position in life Mr.. Ford is q
well educated man. His delightful home
at Fifth and Rodney streets shows evidenc
of culture and refinement. His library is
stocked with writings of the brightest
lights in political literature, the science
and arts. And Mr.. Ford is an engaging and
interesting talker, good stump speaker
and orator of no mean ability. Mr.. Ford
has large personal following. He COM
mands the support of Democrats without
regard to faction or past differences. Full
of ardor himselfh he can inspire the Demo-
Gratis inclined to lethargy with enthusiasm
and confidence. He can make the coming
canvass an aggressive one. And Mr.. Ford
would be, if nominated, the only Demo
cratic candidate for the governor of this
state within half century from the city of
Wilmington, of which he is one of the
leading and most progressive citizens.

The TRANSCRIPT has no desire to stir up
strife nor has it the inclination to rest un-
der an unjust accusation. A few weeks
ago the NeU Era said that Republican
delegate to the Methodist General Confer
ence at Cincinnati said "the sessions some
times were most disgusting to him appear
ing nothing more or less than huge scheme
to boom McKinley's nomination" The
gentleman referred to-we do not know
what he said-is not a Republican, and the
testimony of the christian Advocate" was
sought. Its editor writes:
My DEAR BROTHER This is gross ex-
aggeration. One man made reference
that was in bad TASTE When Mckinley
was introduced as an ex-governor of Ohio
and Methodist, there was considerable
enthusiasm, but not more probably than
would have been aroused if the General

Bishop Curtis Relieved.

Bishop Alfred A. Curtis. of the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Wilmington, wrote to
Rome some time ago asking to be relieved
of the cares of his diocese. Recently he
received letter from tine Pope granting
his request.
The action of Bishop Curtis was occa-
stoned by his age and the laborious duties
of his Office. The diocese comprises the
State of Delaware and the Eastern Shores
of Maryland and Virginia. 1t contains
thirty-seven churches. twelve stations and
five chapels, besides number of schools
seminaries and asylums. Bishop Curtis
was formerly member of the Protestant
Episcopal clergy, and entered the Catholic
Church in 1871. He was appointed Bishop
of the Wilmington Diocese ten years ago.
His successor will probably be appointed
during the year.
