IT is unpleasant. for the public to real
ize that there is a man in the community
who will deliberately publish lie
about one of the county's legislative
bodies.
However unpleasant it is, Samuel Ean-
croft is daily forcing the public to be-
lieve that he is such a man. He has
steadily refused to, prove four, grave
charges which he makes against the
Levy Court of this county, and the pub.
lie is left in doubt as to whether that
body is a proper one or not. Samuel
Bancroft and his paper, Ercy Erenipg,
were considered reputable and truthful,
and when he charged the Levy Court
with crooked contracts, mismanagpment,
maladministration and extravagant
appropriations it was supposed to be
true.
Subsequent sulking OF Bancroft, when
called upon for his proof, has led the
people to be lieve his charges false.
Samuel Bancroft made one mistake in
publishing his charges. He believed
that the public would take his word in
preference to the eminent gentlemen
who sit in the Levy Court. This is not
SO. They doubt his word, and to
make it good he must produce absolute
facts.

Chairman Patrick Neary, Of the Demo-
cratic County Executive Committee
claims to have worked as hard in the in.
terests of the Mckinley Administrations
favorite, Hon. George Gray. az any other
man in Delaware.
Believing he did his part and that his
work deserves recognition, he was great
ly hurt when he learned that Mckinley
had sent Postmaster Browne n telegram
OF congratulation on his good work for
administration.
Mr.. Mary did not propose taking II
back seat, and hence he sent himself the
following telegram which he is now
showing to his friends:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. II, 1898.
HoN. PAT NEARY,

Extend sincere sympathy on your
crashing defeat in the city of Whining.

you give up the fight now. Don't be out

TRIBUTE TO SENATOR GRAY
Blackburn, OF Kentucky, Grieves at
Eis Dcica.--Say5 Grey il -. =,
Lawyer in Senate.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l2.-'l am grieved
to the heart" says ex-senator Blackburn,
''to think that Senator George GRAY is
to be retired from the Senate, as a result
of the recent election. look upon
George Gray's retirement not only as a
loss to my party, not only as loss to
the Senate, but as a loss to the country.
You know that | have been in public
life for many years and have mot with
all of the great men Of a generation, and
! speak advisedly and with discretion
when ! say that George Gray is to-day
the ablest lawyer in the United States
Senate, and his retirement is great loss
to his country.
"Thcre was u time when Matt Car
penter, Roscoe Conkling, Allen G. Thur.
man and George +. Edmunds were tile
greatest lawyers in the Senate, the great
est lawyers in the Congress, the greatest
lawyers in our country. Since they
have passed away | believe that George
Gray has been the greatest lawyer in tie
Senate, the able.t, the best equipped.
the most sincere and earnest advocate
and expounder of legal and constitu.
tional principles.
Grover Cleveland only did one thing
that | know Of, and that was his selcc.
ton of Senator White. OF Louisiana, for
the position Of Associate Justice of tie
Supreme Court. While Senator White
was in the Senate he was well abreast of
Gray as a lawyer, and it was a question
in the minds of many whether White or
Gray was the greatest lawyer. Senator
White. you must know, had performed
most difficult intellectual feat. He had
been educated in Louisiana under tie
Napoleonic code. When he reached o,t
beyond State lines and began to gra, D
national and international subjects, | Q
was not only obliged to learn the new,
but forget the old. 1t is always casips
to learn than to forget. Senator White
performed that intellectual feat. He
became one of the greatest of constitu-
tional lawyers by dint Of will power
The sun., 1898-11-14

For iayofs received and goods delivered,
Gray is McKinley's choice.
The mission Of Postmaster Browne,
as special envoy OF the President to
members-elect Of the Legislature, is q
great stroke by the Administration to
line up successful support for Senator
Gray. Mckinley is determined to have
Gray returned to the Senate, and his
antagonism to Mr.. Addicks is working
to have Democrat elected by Repub-
lican Legislature.
The Wilmington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Times must have been inn
pressed with the above situation. He
has clearly stated it, and therein placed
an endorsement Of the contention re-
peatedly made by THE Sun.

AMONG Philadelpha's leading business
men none was more enterprising, popu-
lar and patriotic than Joseph J. Snellen-
burg, whose nntimely death is an
nounced elsewhere in The Record this
morning. Mr. Snellenburg was an ex-
emplar and inspiration to his many
friends, a wise counselor in public affairs
and ready and generous helper Of the
lowly and distressed. The entire com
munity is bereaved when sIch men pass
away.-The Philadelphia Record.
Wilmington shares with the City Of
Brotherly Love the grief expressed at
the untimely death OF Joseph j. Snellen.
burg. Three years ago he came to this
city, and by enterprising and honest
business principles had succeeded to
merited popularity and gained the conf
dence of the public. Philanthropy in
business might be said to be the motto
of Joseph ]. snellenburg, and the con-
tinued prosperity of bis large business is
proof that the public of two cities appre-
ciate his generosity.

born student.
"Revevting to that quartette OF great
lawyers. Carpenter, COnkling, Edmunds
and Thurman, must say that | would
rather have been such lawyer as Matt
Carpenter than have followed the m del
Of any other man. Conkling was little
more superb as an advocate, but only a
trifie. Edmunds was greater statutory
lawyer, a greater black letter man, but
only atrife. Thurman was greater
constitutional expounder but only a
trifie. Matt Carpenter was the greatest
all-round lawyer have ever known. He
was equal to every emergency. He was
superb, he was a black letter lawyer, he
was constitutional lawyer, he was
everything that a lawyer should be.
"But, reverting to George Gray, OF
Delaware, want to say that he was
nearly the equal of Carpenter as any man
in public life that | have ever known.
His brain teens with information. His
mind is well spring Of knowledge. He
understands all questions. He is clear
expounder of principles He is as hand
some man as ever appeared as an advo.
cate. lie is as superb as any one of them,
without shadow OF that obnoxious
self-consciousness which somewhat
marred Conkling's presence.
Il am sorry that Delaware has gone
Republican. That, of course, you know,
because ! am Democrat. But, | am
really grieved because George Gray is
thereby deprived of a seat in the Senate,
and the country is to be deprived of his
services. / cannot but feel that if he
had remained at home instead of going
to Paris on that Peace Commission he
could have carried his State, and re-
mained in the Senate. ."-Ph;'adephio
