+. ware out Of the Senate and the halls OF
4 Congress.
vDngressInan Willis's protest was timely
and his plea although novel, appears to
s ave had more truth than poetry in it.
His defense should have weight with
3 &he men OF his party in Congress BY
4 The decisions given in our oonrts in every
4 olection case it has tendency to preju,
y dice every case that comes before the courts
Tor adecision.
Men will say no matter how grave tho
offence II committed in behalf of the
Z Democratic party. What the use of going
n into the court9 And the question might
well be answered, what is the use?
The big chief and the two Stale detec-
4 i've are down at Dover watching the little
Il bug hop. With these three guardians out
n of the city is it any wonder that water
runs uD lillY
There is every prospect Of two State Sem
ates being organized. Tho Republicans
will have four holding over members
\ while the Democrats viii have bat two.
Senator Pierce Is being sought after by
Il The Democrats, but he being Republican
y doesn't want any Democratic syrup of
squills The Democrats realize that UNI
!, less they have one Republican Senator
y thoir body will have no legal standing.
~ Is said this is the reason that the big
chief and tho two big detectives are visit
ing the Capital, to SOC that the Demo-
/. cratic Senate has II standing.
Tho Republican contests in the House
l. will sbe irupped and every attention 'tutn-
ed to the Senate The Democrats are de.
i termined TO seat Meredith.
When John r. Dickey bonded for the
SUN Of $4,000 their was nothing said
about his sureties but what II difference it
lte2ublican. Everything is done 10 hinder
\ and delay that official in bonding. But
< 4bs no use us plenty of satisfactory bonds.
Y men can be given Il dozen times over
The extravaganza Of our city govern
ment is something startling. Where it
Z used TO take only two executive officers
!, Tor the Board of Health, it now takes four
6Wo serving on each side of the city at Il
yearly salary of $40 each. There is no
necessity Of four health officers. The same
4 way out ut the crematory, there are more
men employed around it who draw their
pay from the city, than there would be if
run by an individual. Then we have u
meat Inspector whose duties are merely
nominal. The hardest work he has to do
IL to draw his salary Of 1900 year Then
the coal oil and milk inspectorsbip have
been created in the last few years, to give
places to the tired and fighting democrats
on election days.
The citizens of Wilmington have no
idea Of the number of men who hold sine.
cure positions under the pay Of the city
I g0yernm0nt
Give the clerk of the market decent
salary and appoint him also meat nspec-
tpf thus doing away with one officer Of
the city,
4 Take the commissioned costs thou
sands OF dollars to run each department
4 We think they are run more on ii business
principle than some other branches Of the
3 city government.
Since Mr.. Seth II Feastor has resigned
as treasurer Of the Republican County
Commiltee, after holding that position for
! a period of seven years, no one us yet has
taken his place
Mr. Fenster would make n capabIe
Mayor and the Republicans could nnt do
better then by elccting him to succeed
Mayor JGiferis.
lr~Said prominent Democrat to tho
II Aar of these notes, Mayor Julfnris made
mistake in calling out the militia on the
might OF November 9th and City Council
made greater mistake in undel taking to
pay them in such a Sngaking manner
This is only another one of the pieces Of
extravaganza or Democrats friends in
obliged in during the past few years in our
city Take the steal Of the SD 900 which
was given legal sanction to pay tho City
i COnstables anu which willluther partisan
measnreFS and bills has depleted the

generally are given some other political
position which has salary attached for
their troubles in serving the country at

is all the pay the Trustees received from
sthe County for their time and trouble in
booking after the needs of the cou1ty's

4 Nearly all Of the local politicians from
our city have captured Dover and politics
~ hotter than l..
II h real amusing to see the Dlep who
hang around for the few crumbs that are
swept off the tables Of the big politicians,
aiiG which the little fellows called the
ward workers grab with furnishing greed
They say two suckers aro horn for every
bh6 that dies, and IT you don't believe it,
~ down to Dover, and watch the suckers
waiting around for something to turn up
which will never materia'i2c. II You
pould only impress the fact on their minds

around and hoping for, thOy would think

We sometimes, II not always tell the
truth.
II wps to have been hoped that the
party would have II Senator
md few representatives loft In Kent
county, when the result Of the election
Vas finally cleared up. Bnt such is not
the fact. The Courts have decided that
tho Republicans have no rights which
the democrats are bound 10 respect, and
Eroin tho decisions handed down it would
sosnl to verify this fact. A Republican
has no right which should be respected in
Delaware. w are not joking but telling
,he plain unvarnished truth
4 Not being carpet baggcrs md wanting
10 please everybody at the expense of nlr.
1elf respect we think what the DutchDan
said about the Limberger cheese viii
10 could not eat. ..,....
! u. irsing Handy was handed his certi-
fchto OF election as member from Con.
moss from our State by the Acting Gov.
'rner On Monday. He can keep this i'm.
,prtnnt piece Of official paper to show his
zrurid children and taking them up in his
knee telling thpm how near he came TO
member Of Congress from his
lsiopted State,
EThrough the rascalty of men Of his
MN party, his credentials have been repu-
Hated and spurned and he himself looked
ipon with suspicion, while Jonathan 5.
Willis occupied the coveted seat and drew
ia salary for two wears longer
