Well, Ebe W. Tunnel Is now Governo
Tunnel. He will rule over the little Da
mond State for the next two years ant
guideits Ship of State over the water, we
hope not altogether, of partisanship. Hi
inaugural address dealt with bribery, vot,
buying etc., but never word had he to
say in condemnation of the stealing OF
Kent County or the counting in Of JOhn
Il. Dickey, In New Castle County. Not
one word have any Of the fine and immac,
ulate Democrats to say about the attempt
ed steal Of the thirteen Democratic In
spectors at the Court House on the night
Of November 9TH Bah! Such chant
makes ME weary and tired.
Missionaries are needed with their long
faces long hair and Bibles in hand to try
and convert the men who claim to DO from
the blue blood of Delaware. Never say
anything about Addicks and his methods
where the Democrats have used such
means as during the past few years in
Kent, Sussex and even New Castle County
But the King of all frauds resides in New
Caste County. The of rascality com.
mitted in the name of Democracy in our
State and the way the men who commit
them are looked after by the party and
given positions that are paying ones are
disgraceful.
Here's Eddie r. Cochran, Jr, he has
been given his reward for the part he took
In the attempted counting out process,
that nearly resulted in o bloody riot at
the Court House on the night of November
9th. Eddie will be made attorney for the
House.
John f. Salisbury never Smiled yes
terday, He takes the defeat of his cousin
Willard very much to heart, and intends
to pay off old scares rs soon as the op.
portunity presents itself.
John II. Dickey can now come home
and Ponder on how the whole thing hap
pened.
The Delaware Militia, the one that was
ordered to arms on the night of Novem-
Der 9th, to put down the Democra tic riot
and assist in the steal at the Court House,
made creditabie showing yesterday in
their parade throughout our streets, to the
depot where they attended the inaugura-
tion ceremonies Of Governor Tunnel.
The Governor -favors non partisan
judiciary and denounces bribery and fraud
at elections ard favors legislation against
1t. We hope his words will bear fruit and
the Democrats try and conduct the cleo
lions in just and fair manner hereafter.
Acting Governor Watson retires from the
Office, which he came into possession of by
the death of Republican Governor, with
credit to himself and the State. He has
made model executive and his successor,
we hope, will follow in his footsteps.
The number of would be politicians who !
have fallen by the wnyside Is remarkable, |
but they are legion.
Mr.. John Edward Addicks has at last |
reached the ambition of his life He has |
been elected U. ). Senator by the second |
legislature and he will present his creden- |
tlals to the Senate at Washington aud ask
to be seated
Senator Handy says he will offer a bill
to appoint two. hundred notary pubics in i
the city of Wilmington SO that every one
of Mr.. Pyle's constituents shall hold an
office.
What is the matter with running Philip
r. Clark for Mayor? He would make u
good one and would fill the position with
credit 10 the Republican party.
The position of Receiver Of taxes pays a
salary of $4,000 year and ten per cent for
taxes. Thus the fees of the
office pay very handsome
The trainers of the new Constitution
when they get through with it, we have
no doubt but what they will give us
model one. At least we hope 50.
Wilmington has little or no say in the
affairs of our State Kont and Sussex
counties rule everything. 1t is lucky
that we are permitted to live.
number of well known men about
town attended the inaugural ceremonies
1t Dover yesterday and witnessed the
swearing in of Governor Tunnell The
writer OF this column was present at the
inaugural ceremonies of Governor Maryil
Jwo years ago in Dover, when he with
'ecblc steps took the oath of office, on tho
'ame Latin printed Bible that Governor
Funnel took the oath of office upon. Tho
wo occasions were quite different.
On the former occasion the Republicans
we're nearly wild with delight, and could :
hardly restrain themselves on witnessing i
he swearing in of IL Republican Governor
II Delaware, Yesterday the crowd was II !
argc one but not very dcmonstrative.
1t remains to DO seen how the new
Governor aCquits himself in his Office. We r
rope he will not forget that he is tho Gov.
rnur of the whole people ,
A matter Of chUicr:-WhethCr to suffer
