GOVERNORS AND THEIR POR
TRAITS.

The movement to secure the portraits
OF Delawares governors for the adorn-
ment of the executive chambers In the
State House started with Hon. David r..
Marvel when he was secretary of state
under Governor Reynolds. He obtain
ed promises from ex-governors or their
descendants, OF portraits as far back as
fifty years Then he was appointed as
sociate Judge for Kent county, and the
matter OF obtaining the portraits was
permitted to lapse, the only exception
being in the case Of Ex-Governor John
W. Hail.
We publish this fact for the guidance
and benefit Of Representative Benjamin
A. HAZEL, Of Kent county, who is ear
nestly working TO secure the portraits.
II Judge Marvel could obtain promises
for executive portraits covering half a
century, 1t strikes us that Representa-
tive HAZEL can certainly obtain them,
for the promises were made in good
faith and now that the movement is re-
vived, will doubtless be kept. Judge
Marvel will doubtless give to Mr.. Ha-
zell all the information and advice at
his command, and thus materially pro-
mote the commendable work in hand.

who have served as executives Of Della
