Two Republican United States Mar
shals were removed by the Democratic ad
ministration under Grover Cleveland by
the advice Of Senator George Gray. How
different the Republican administration
have used the Democratic officials. The
civil service rules which are obnoxious to
. majority OF the voters OF the county have
been kept in force by President Mckinley,
and the Offices which should DO hell by
Republicans are held at the present time
by Democrats, some of whom in Delaware
are the strictest kind Of partisans and who

district Of Maryland and Delaware has
been appointed by President Mckinley,

William S. knight. The last two named
officials have been congratuating them

can undoubtedly DO removed by the new
Collector and should be as soon rs prac.

1t is said that the deputy Marshal can
not be removed from his position, IL being

Some men say there is much ado about
nothing being made in the controversy
that has been going on in the newspapers
about the proportion of delegates FOR Now
Castle, Kent and Sussex counties, and that
tho proposition that was made to the
Regulars by the Union Republicans was
affair one for both sides, and that by the
rejection of such proposition tho whole
blanc is laid on the Regulars for q com
promiye being effected Such talk Is non
sense and untruthful as well us mislead
ing
The voters OF New Castle county have
some rights which the voters of the two
bower counties should give some consider
ntion to. They surely could not expect
them to submit to any such proposition a;
was made thom relating to the humber o.
delegates to sit in the next State Conven
ton held by the party in Dover, The ina
jority should have some rights WHICH tb'
minority should DO willing to meet hal
way in settling Wilmington with 1t:
5000 votes should be considered and not oil
tirely ignored by the 5000 votes Of the
Swo lower counties combined when New
Castle county has 3,7OJ votes more thar
both counties put together.
This Is not representation according Il
population and it Is an insult to ask thu
voters of New Castle County to even con
slider such proposition. No compromis
or harmony can ever como between tn
Regulars and Union Republicans until
fRirer appUrtionment is offered.
