TOO MUCH OF A DEMOCRAT.
During tho closing exercises Of the
School Mt Smyrna recently William
Michael Byrne the silver tongued orator of
the New Castle county bar, delivered an
address on the distinguished sons Of Della
ware. In his speech he alluded to the IL
lustrious Cour,e Of Ambassador Thomas
f. Bayarl at tho Court Of St James. He
fairly cuogizGd the cx Ambassador and
made very ccCdtablo address.
Some Of his hearers said it sounded to
them like political speech. and they did
not take to his remarks kindly, and several
of them said he was too strong Demo.
crat to suit them. This is hard on Mr..
Byrne after he had spoken in nearly every
town in the state last fall making speech
es for Mckinley and honest money. But
then some people say that 3yrno looks Ike
a Democrat. All the slmc ho Is making
the iivclicst kind OF hustle for the oilicc
of United States District Attorney.
