POLITICAL NOTES.

- Convention Convenes on Tues
day-Fred Elem Bach for Post
master-Other Political Matters.
Tho case of Colonel Henry DUPONT as
Senator from Delaware, will undoubtei-
ybe brought up again in the coming
session OF Congress. IL Will come up in
the way of new business,
1t is held that after a decision of tho
Senate in honor of tho title of persons
claiming seats on election OF others by the
Senate, Legislature is void
The correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Record, who is an editor of the Morning
News says; The committee concluded
with tho following resolutions, which
will have tendency to make 1t rather
hard for Colonel DUPONT :to obtain the
= seat
''Resolved. That the said resolutions
are final and conclusive upon the right OF
the said Kellogg and the claim OF the SAID
Spofford to the said seat for the said term.
And finally, as in the case of Francis w.
Sykes VS.. George L. Spencer, of Alabama,
the Committee on Elections, consisting or
Senators Logan, Wudleigh Morton,
Salisbury, Norman, Mcmillan Cooper
and Cameron reached u conclusion that
the question having been definitely settled
it was considered by the committee that II
was not competent for the committee or
the Senate to reopen 1t, ana that III MuSG
be treated rs res adjudiCnta.
But even this will not deter Mr.. Du'
pont from making The effort to obtain the
seat he was elected to by the Delaware Leg
islature two years ago The prize is worth
striving for.
1t is reported that the friends of Mr..
Fred Eden Bach, the writer of the Repub'
lican classes in the sunday sta: are max
ing an effort to secure for him the position
of Post master to succeed Colonel Enoch
Moore.
The position is worth securing, paying
$500 year, then the work is not burden
some for the postmaster II II IS what IS

secured the position he could live like an

You can't tell what to make Of some
men. They wouldn' rob hen rooSt.
They are apparently honest i'll business
but nothing is too low or mean Tor
them to tackle in politics. But It's m
old time saying, that, every man InuS his
own level. The stream can't rise higher
than its source So with men, politicians
or otherwise.
There is no doubt but that the doings of
the Constitutional Convention VIII DC
watched with interest by our reaicrs
The WILMINGTON delegates TO tho Con
stitutionul Convention Will 90 to Dover
tonight, and both parties will cauea5, AS
the convention will not have representa-
ton from u!l three counties, it is thought
they will adjourn until the Kent county
contest Is settled.
John Bigss and j. wilkins CoOch are
both spoken of for chairman, and 50 IL
Gen. Il. K. kenncy Of Dover, but whose
title to Il seat in the convention has not
4 i a tl,, ltttsf IIlIs
clerk are II. b. L. Springer, nFahklln
Brockson, g. W. kenney amt T.. D. {.
Hegeman, with lcgions yet to hear from,
But if such thing is possible as tho
seating of the Kent county Rrpubtlcon
delegates, then the complexion OF the
Convention will be changed ana numer'
Gus new applicants make their appearance
for the positions.
Itdoc,n't seem worth the while for any
Democrat to make any special effort TO- be
elected the rs L. 5, Senator by the coming
Legislature. 1t will only be an empty
honor conferred upon the lucky person;
Still there are plenty Of men VINO would
even like tic honor Of being named by
the Legislature and then make nghL
for the seat before the senate. No Rcpub-
lican Senate would seat senator pre-
seutinr hi, credentials from a l. 'gislattIro
that WAS counted in by Dnin)craLlc
rascality. Try 1t and SEQ il we don't SIZE
