w.
Last Fridays cabinet meeting
was somewhat gloomy gathering
and Mckinley was chief mourner.
Secretary Sherman looked as
mournful as the rest of them, but
if he felt so it was probably be-
cause he feared that the official
count in Ohio would not meet
democratic expectations by MAX
ing Boss Hanna's return to the
senate impossible, and not because
of the general rebuke administered
to the administration by the in
crease in the democratic vote and
the decrease in the republican
vote in every state III which an
election was held. When speak
ing for publication, the republic
caos Try to make light of the results
and to claim that such is always
the case at the first off year cleo
tionheld under a new administra-
ton, but they do not talk that sort
of rot among themselves. They
know the extraordinary efforts
made by their National Committee
to hold together the vote given to
Mckinley last year and the enor-
nous amount of money spent in
those efforts, and they see the re-
suits for just what they area
popular rebuke to Mckinley and
his administration. They see, too,
that it is a forerunner of the cleo
ton of a democratic majority of
House of Representatives, next
year, which will in turn pave the
way for the election of a demo-
cratic president 1900.
With the exception Of New
York, where disgust with the al
legged "reformers'' of the republi-
can municipal administration
brought about the cyclone which
restored Tammany to power by an
unexpectedly large plurality, and
Maryland, where the silver ques-
tian was lodged and the anti.
German democrats, headed by the
Baltimore Sun, acted with the re-
publicans, the democrats made
their largest gains in those states
whore they pushed the free coin
of silver to the front as the lead
ing issue of the campaign. This
facts shows very plainly that
those who pronounced the "silver
craze" dead last year were not
well-informed. It also shows that
not few of the republicans who
voted to put the Mckinley admin
istration in power resent the con-
tinuation of the Cleveland Carlisle
financial policy by the present
administration.
Democrats in Washington are
disposed to give Mr.. Bryan large
share of the credit for the
splendid showing made by the
party in Ohio, and the remark has
been made many time, that if the
entire campaign in that state had
been made along the same agrees
sive line as the speeches made in
the closing days by Mr.. Bryan, the
democrats would have elected
their entire state ticket as we'll as
have assured the defeat of Boss
Hanna. OF course those who
make these remarks know that it
is much easier to say after cam.
paign is over what would have
been the winning policy than it is
to make the choice in the midst of
a campaign, but the knowledge
may be useful all the same, as it
may be used to prevent similar
mistakes in the future.
The only depressing feature
about the elections, from demo-
cratic point of view, was the elec-
ton of q republican majority of the
Maryland Legislature, which means
that Senator Germans successor
will be a republican.

The City SoIicitorship.

We admit that Mr. Harnlan has made
very Greditable display of ability as City
Solicitor, but we contend that Mi Conrad
would have served the city quite as faith
fully had he been in his place, without
demanding any greater pay for his services
We shall not forget that MIR. Hartman felt
tl200 per year was very small sum for
his services and made application to tho
Legislature to have the salary Of the Office
raised to 5000 per year, and deputy pro-
yiied with a salary of $500. Ii these are
not the exact figures we beg to be cor
rected They may seem rather steep TO
common working people, but lawyers SER
vices come high. 1t will BIO remembered
his firm put i'll bill of $500 against the
city for one verdict obtained. but we be.
lieye compromise was affected for Sl25O
by the Street and Sewer Department
Common peUple cannot get such compen
sation and some other lawyers will be sat
isfied with less exorbitant fee. We think
therefore that Mr.. Hartman has shared
muniacently of the peoples money and
Mr. Conrad should now be given chance
g. show that be is not quite SO exacting.
Indeed, we are surprised that Mr.. Hartman
should consent to labor for the city for the
petty salary OF $1,000 per year, after having
labored to have the salary fixed at $1,000,
He should allow some other member of
the bar to take his place who does not
value his services quite 80 highly. We
have not word to say against Mr., Har-
man beyond the fact that his effort to have
his term Of office extended over IS months
ct a salary Of $1,000 should not give him
an additional claim on our citizens for
their votes, particularly upon those who
hold that there should be economy in every
department Of our city government.

Political Notes.
DON TLOOK LIKE 1T,

oh no, the State treasury is not bank
rupt, but all the same q joint resolution
was offered by Representative HAZEL on
Thursday morning to allow the State
Treasurer to temporarily borrow money
from the School fund to pay the bill 8 Of
the State as they are presented, and In the
event of being unable to pay 1t back to
issue temporary certificates. And this
resolution was deemed necessary after all
tho talk from Dover that the State had
plenty of funds. This does not look like
IL. But then tho manner of conducting
our State finances are is finding out.
The day OF reckoning is surely coming
when some light will be turned on at the
reckless manner In which the funds of the
State have been raided.
But still the cry goes up that we have
no deficit. The Senate killed the bill fix
ing the Sheriti's salary of New Castle
county at $1,000. The salary was thought
inadequate by the majority of the mem
bers OF the Senate
1t Is really amusing to sac what change
OF front some of tho men assume who
have sworn Vengeance towards one another
when any bill comes up In the General
Assembly to benefit fellow Democrat.
Money speaks louder than words, In every
walk of life and it makes fellow feeling
towards one another. Money counts
every time In politics and that is the reason
why some men who are sworn enemies
flock together when ever bill is introduce
ed in the Legislature whereby they be-
came beneticaries under it,

wrote '"The Pilgrims Progress" and q
copy of the charges under which he was SC
confined. MIR. Bayard proposes to present
them to the Wilmington Bartists. If it

+ SHERIFF. johnson, of Sussex county,has
seen fit in his official capacity to refuse
tickets of admittance to the hanging of
James M. Gordy, the condemned wife
murderer, which takes place in George
town Friday Juno 11th. A bill has been
introduced, by request of the reporters in
the House, to compel the sheriff to admit
the newspaper men. The bill should, by
all means pass, as the pencil pushers are
supposed to be present to give the public
the gruesome account of how the wretch
departed this life on the gallows. Morbid
curiosity is one of the strong points in
human nature. The animal instinct, in
all It's savage brutality is awakened when
anything out of the usual walks of life
takes place. But reporters are supposed
to give tho news, and this hanging is look
ed upon as legitimate news. For one, we
can say we have no desire to witness the
sDectacle.
