The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1897-06-09
POLITICAL NOTES.

| TULlIlOHL NUlEO'
Looks as Happy as June Bug
The New Constitution Has the
Lawyers Gucssing-City Coun.
Gil Should Retrench in the Mat
ter Of Ofices-John Ryan wants
to Succeed Himself as BaiIiff-
All Other City Officers want a
Second Term.
| DR.. j. H. Fahey was seen by tho writer
| yesterday riding around in his carriage,
wearing the same seven by ten smile as Of
| yCra. He did not seem to take his defeat
much to heart. He doesn't let Il little thing
like that worry him and has not lost a
| pound of flesh since the election. He like
| great many Others ran and suffered de-
| feat but that has not given him fit Of the
| blues. He was fortunate enough to gain
the nomination but it was an off year for
Democrats in Delaware and he only suffer
| ed what.auy other Democratic candidate
| would, who headed the Democratic ticket
Even Mr.. A. l.. johnson would have been
as easily If not easier to defeat.
He has nothing to regret. He was the
sacrifice offered by his party and took the
inevitable with good grace
We do not know how Robert tFrancis
feels over the defeat but from our know
ledge of him would say that he takes it
with good grace. Although he felt san
guine at first hat his party would sweep
everything before them, We think he takes
the Republican success with good grace
and is pleased that he was the chairman
that led them on to defeat. Next!
LEWIS WILL ACT AS TAX COLLECTOR.
Notwithstanding the mares nest that
the Democrats have professed to discover,
that Mr.. Thomas 5. Lewis the collector
and assessor of the Northern District has |
not been assessed with $500 worth of real
estate to his credit, he will serve as the
tax collector of the district in which he
was elected by such a handsome majority |
on Saturday last. He will be able to give |
his bond for $4,000 and perform the
duties of tho office In few weeks. 1t
would not amount to anything for his
Democratic competitor to contest his elec
tion.
TIE NEW CONSTITUTION.
Apparently publication of the new con
stitution was only intended for u few of
our citizens to read and become acquaint-
ed with. The members who comprised /
this convention were not nearly a5 careful
about the cost OF that body to the tax
payers of the State MS they have been
about the publication Of this most impor-
tant document which every citizen should
be made fully acquainted with. The cost
would more than repay The state for the
knuwlalpn imDlrtpI bv iyi n1u
who wished chance to peruse the same.
CITY COUNCIL SHOULD RETRENCH.
City Council should retrcnch and they
could not do better than by dispensing ,
with the city treusuI er's and Auditors
clerks, who each receive 5000 year. But
the Democrats of Delaware were never
known to retrench in anything but Il Q
bllls OF the newspaper men, Which they {
cut in half and divide by seven and think
they are doing that which is honest.
Several other offices could be easily con- ,
solldated and thus several thousand dol
lars saved every year to the tux payers.
But will they make the saving?
PREPARING TO BOND
Il Senator John Pyle took occasion ycster.
day while preparing to bond for George !!
Mcintyre of Christiana Hundred as one
of the new tax collectors, in the sum of
S3O 900. He said that the ollice of county
did not collort taSes VII Tba Iiirnnont uU ~
