The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1897-05-25


the nominations and elections have take
place, 1t has always cost the candidate
too much money to secure the nomina alto
and the election TO the office. We ar
pleased to see that the office has bee
fixed by paying the Sheriff stated salar
instead OF paying him for his services il
fees The salary by some is said to
rather low, but we have no doubt Their
VIII be plenty both willing and anxiou
to serve the county for the salary agree
upon.
SATISFIED WITH THE NOMINATIONS.
Both the Every Evening and Evening
Journal are apparently satisfied with tn
nominations made on Saturday by tn
Democratic party At least that is wba
they say about the ticket. The Ever,
Evening has this to say:
Taken altogether, the ticket Is an eS
cellent one, and there Is no re ason t,
doubt that it will be supp orted by tn,
solid party vote at the election, in addition
to the votes Of q number Of Republican.
who naturally object to the "cut-and
dried ticket of their own party, which
was made by committees and not by the
| voters.
DIR. Fahey the nominee for Mayor, is a
reputable physician Of large practice, and
| Is fully qualified to intelligently and ac
| ceptably discharge the duties Of the office
| Col. VIM. b Norton, the nominee fol
| president Of city council, has had large ex
| periGnce as a member of that body, and is
therefore well qualified to preside over its
| deliherution.
City Solicitor Hartman has served the
city well for the past two years, and do
| serves the credit Of re- election by sub
| stantial majority. William L. Hamann,
| for city treasurer, is new aspirant fol
| hnDnrs h,1t G not nj
| for the office and we'll thought of by the
| people, as was demonstrated by his flatter-
ing vote.
The party is in good condition, and
should win at the election on June 5th,'
The Evening Journal says:
DEMOCRATS FOR THE NOMINEES.
Both parties now have their city tickets
in the field, and it is fair to presume that
from this time out the fight for supremacy
in our municipal affairs will be prosecuted
with ability and warmth on both sides.
The Republicans will endeavor to keep
1 alive in the Democratic ranks the animos.
| tiles of the primary election held on Sat
urday, but democrats are too sensible to
be caught by such chaff.
They will vote for the party nominees,
regardless of personal preference, realizing
that the will of tho party is paramount to
the will Of the individual, ana that the
cardinal princlpale of majority rule holds
as good at primary as Mt general elections.
Observance of this principle has always
been II striking characteristic of Demo
Gratis and there is no ground for the be-
lief that there will be any departure from
it this time"
Is Charlie Edwards getting ready to turn
another political somersault, or did the

WHAT HE SAID.
Said prominent Democrat to the writer
yesterday afternoon, You mark my
words, not a single gold Democrat will be
elected to any office in the city of Will
mington at the election on The 9th day of
June DR.. Fahey is gold Democrat and
/ can't understand how 1t is that no ID
nominated on our ticket for mayor"
WANTS THE CITY ELECTION POSTPONED.
John Y. Dickey and the city official,
whose terms the bill would extend for Is
months longer are very DESTROYS that the
General Assembly should pass the bill
poatponing the coming city election
We are willing to wager dollars to dough-
nuts that the bill will never pass the sen.
ate II il even passes the House,
Quite delegation of the interested ones
purpose of having the bill become IL law.
But as We said before in our article there
is very slim chance of its passage
SOME LITTLE DIFFERENCES.
There appears to have been some little
differences cropped out in the Eighth
ward and threats bavo been freely made of
what wOuld.be the consequences of the
nomination of the successful candidate on
the Republican ticket tor City Council.
We hope the differences will be satisfaC-
tCrly adjusted and every Republican vote
for j. ii. Morris the successful nominee,
and the whole Republican ticket.
1t Is said that City Councilman Meaney
has decided to make no contest in tho
Fourth ward which gave James Kane
one hundred and fifty seven majority.
Nomination elections, Mr.. Meaney by this
time should know are not conducted on q
Sunday plan. That it takes q good man
to be II loser but Il poor one to be winner"
Councilman Meaney can console himself
with tho tact that he has seen better days
since he became u City Councilman,
We can't for the life of us see what some
men want with the position of City Coun-
Gilman. Men who are only mechanics
spend as much, If not twice as much MS
the Office is worth to get it This we be-
lieyc was u fact in the Fourth, Third
First anu Eleventh wards with the cleo
ton yet to be heard from. The coming
election Will make great change in the
personality of tho members of the present
city council. 1t is now Democratic by
two majority, whereas if the Republicans
come out and vote it will reverse the pres.
ent order of things. Tho Republicans
can't afford to lose II single ward,
Tho necessary expenses to secure q nom.
inatiOn for any Office within the gift of
the voters is something awful to contem-
plate but then nearly every man Is
politically ambitious to hold office and So
cure position that will pay him big
salary without requiring hard work or
long hours. The only trouble thus far in
our State although it Is u small one, is
that the Offices won't go around. But
while there Is life there is hope, that every
man in our State will hold an office be.

NOT so.
Mr. Fred Eden Bach did not work for
Geo. II. Mccall on Saturday last, but did
have Lewis tickets in his hand, giving them
out to every voter that passed him on Jack
son street below Ninth street. He with
Harry Billany turned in and worked for
Lewis. They have always been pronounc-
cd Lewis men. Mr. Winfield S. Quigley
also viewed the nomination in the middle
precinct of the Fifth Ward until the polls
closed when he went away perfectly salts
fled with the result of the nomination.
