The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1897-06-15
POLITICAL NOTES.
Willard Salisbury, j.. will Proba-
bly, be Appointed Secretary Of
State-The Municipal Court has
no Legal Existence-A Denial
from Herman Frist-David
Lemon for Clerk of Market.

Well, Governor Tunnel has appointed
the i've Judges and Chancellor which
make up our Judiciary and the agony Is
over amongst those who were on the
anxious bench. This Is the first time for
nearly seven years that the Republicans
have had representative on the bench in
Delaware. Now there are two Republican
Judges and three Democratic ones
The failure to re.appoint Judges Cullen
and Marvel Of Sussex County, has been
strongly condemned by their friends, but
the appointments in the main, we believe,
have given general satisfaction TO the
people.
Judge Grub has been appointed Judge
at large which will hereafter give the APP
pointing of the Police Commissioners to
the resident Judge who Is now Judge
Commissioners term to expire will be
that of John w. Lawson whose term OK.
pires on May lst 1892 If the next Legis-
lature does not see fit to change the law
the Police Commission will after less than
two years be again a Republican body
with the power to change the political
complexion OF the same. In fact the force
can BIO recognized on lines in keeping
with the views of the Commissioners who
will then be in position to control the
appointments.
hhAl "A HOWL WILL GU w.
The ambition of Judge Grub to be.
come judge at large has led to the pres
emit complications and rendered 1t possible
Ior the Republicans to control the affairs
OF this important department in our city,
which has grown from an insignificant
force OF men to its present proportions
The appointing of the last Police Commits
sioner had so disguised Judge Grub with
the power placed In his hands by Demo
cratic Legislature that he eagerly sought
the present way out of the future disagree
able duty. II his health had permitted he
would have made an effort to have sue
ceeded Chief Justice Lore but he con-
cluded that the position which he now oc-
cupies on the bench was more suitable to
nun and the duties it involved upon his
time and energies.
Perhaps the Democrats will not be mad
when they fully realize what tho election
OF Judge Grub means to them and their
party in the future in Delnwars politics.
PROMISES TO BE AN INTERESTING FIGHT.
The different candidates and their
friends are making warm canvass for
the position of secretary aud treasurer of
the Board of Education which position
has been filled for several years by the
present incumbent, Mr.. l.. B. Jones
Already some six candidates are in the
Held and are circulating around amongst
the members asking them to pledge their
support
1t romans to be seen what the outcome
OF the light for this position will amount
TO- There are twenryfour members of
tho School board and it takes the fatal
number of thirteen to elect. So the as
ptrants for the honors and emoluments of
the Office Can see what an uphill fight they
VIII nave to encounter to receive the
pledges of that number of members. With
six candidates in the field the old secretary
and treasurer s chances are the best For
some this office have had the wistful
giances of several aspirants turned
