POLITICAL NOTES.
BY OUR REPORTER.
Fred Eden Bach Says by All neans Bury
the Hatchet.
h. c. BROWNE FOR HARMONY
Also Walter II. Hayes and Senator Handy
Think the Federal Patronage Should
beDispensed Equally Between the
Two Factions.

There Is no doubt but that most II not
all of the gentlemen who will compose
the Regular Compromise Committee have
been appointed by Chairman Browne, as
we'll as the Union Committee by Chair
man J. Frank Alice. Mr.. Fred Eden
Bach will DO one Of the Committee of the
Regulars, while Mr.. J. Edward Addicks
will DO on tho Union COMMITTEES.
Mr.. Bach being approached in relation
to the proposed compromise, said why
certainly the two factions should get to
gether by all means, rs only by uniting
could tho Republican party hope to Dc
successful at the coming election. He will
do all In his power to effect compromise.
Senator Robert Handy said he was in
favor Of q compromise and that he thought
the federal Offices should DO divided up a
little more evenly amongst both wings of
the party. That was one way OF helping
along the proposed compromise, and he
for one should like to see 1t Consummatod.
The Union Republicans did not want the
earth.
Mr.. Harry H. Billany Is also heartily in
favor of q compromise and said that only
In the event of the compromise being Of.
fected could tho Republicans hope to win
in Delaware ut the next or any succeeding
, election.
He believed in New Castle County hav.
Ing its rights in the Convention and would
be one of those Who would stick for that.
Wilmington with population Of some
seventy thousand should be of
some consequence. Kent and Sussex
counties with less votes than Now Castle
county should not always want to rule
and allow Wilmington next to nothing in
the Convention. But want to 500 the
party working together as 1t Is only posi-
bic in that event to do anything Us party.
Mr.. Hugh G. Browne announced himself
to the writer of these notes some days ago
that he was in for u compromise and had
alwa Us done all in his power to bring such
thing about. He has taken his time in
appointing the Committee, as 1t was q
rather difficult thing to do to please every
body and get the proper men to servo 1t
was not every man who wished the posi-
ton, but ne now thought that he had mat
tiers in such shape that the Committee
would be announced in very short time
and the gentlemen comprising 1t give per-
feet satisfaction.
j CANNON SHORT FOR MARSHAL
From present indications it looks as If
the next U. S. Marshal would DO j. Can.
non Short of Sussex County. The failure
to appoint when Marshal Lannan's time
was out is looked upon as a big card IN
favor OF MI. SnOfG. lno uOWn county
men claim that they have not had mar.
shall and that they have the best claim on
the office. The fight has laid between
James Clark, Delaware Clark, Harry Nc
Mullin and j. Cannon Short with tho
short horse in the lead.
Speaker Harrington is spoken of rs to
be the next Democratic candidate for
Governor, and Representative HAZEL for
Lieutenant Governor. But the election is
yet some time off and it is hard to say who
the lightning will strike by the time cleo.
ton rolls around Both gentlemen are
very popular land make genial compan.
ions; the kind of men to make lots of
friends. 1t was thought yesterday that
tho reunion Of the Legislature and Con-
stitutional Convention had some political
significance and that q pow WOW wouli
take place.
Perhaps tdid matcrlalzo but.the writer
of these notes failed to come across it or
find anybody who knew anything Of such
a matter or if they did they didn't caro- to
talk about it to q newspaper man.
General j. &. Hart is quite popular
man amongst the Democratic politicians.
He is as handsome as an apollo, and was
surely born to rule. AS General Kcnnedy's
Secretary he is seeing considerable politics
at the Capital. Ho is all right and a
mighty good fellow even If he don't care
much for newspaper representatives.
