The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1898-10-03
Death Heals all Wounds.
Thos. F. Bayard Blam.
ed for the
DISFRANCHISING OF VOTERS,
Democratic Party Wor=
ried Over the Regis
tration. The Repub.
lican Party Should
HAVE A WALK OYER.

Thomas f. Bayard as a statesman wal
not Thomas h. Bayard, the politician. He
was always blamed for drafting the laws
that dlsfranchised SO many Republican
voters at Delaware for years. Personally
he was clean man. He did not always
agree with his party and his utterances at
such times caused him to lose the support
OF Democrats who otherwise had boom al
ways ready to throw up their hats and
| cheer for Baynrd
The last time he appeared at the Grand
Opera House, being the guest Of tho Young
Mems Democratic Club, he was not re-.
ceived as warmly as he had been in former
occasions and he appeared to feel the
slight His antipalhy to the FREQ silver
doctrine was in the main to blame as we'll
as bis speeches in England which were at
that time considered unAmerican. But
Ambassador Bay ard did more to cement
the bonds of friendship between America
ana England than any Ambassador that
ever before or since represented America
ct the Court Of st. James. His memory
will live long after his body has mouldered
In tho dust Heis the last great Bayard OF
bis race. His son will never fill his place
In Delaware history in the future.
Good paying positions make some por-
sons careless. Tho fact remains that the
piokpockets singled out Assistant Post
master Billany and relieved him Of part
OF his months pay. He should be more
careful in the future and place his wallet
where 1t could not be reached by the light
fingered gentry.
There appears to be considerable misun-
Outstanding as to the Interpretation of the
new Constitution, but whom the Legisla-
ture meets and tho men who are elected
shall take their seat they will then find out
what are the provisions of the law making
It's members elected eligible to sit In the
Legislature. From man up tree Col.
onel john P. Donohoo cannot hold tho
position Of county tax collector and sit In
the House at tho Same time The Colonel
will have to resign II he Is elected Repre-.
sentative, his $1,000 job or resign as Repre-.
sentative, which office he will have tho
say.
Section IA says: mo Senator or Repro
sentative shall, during the time for which
he shall have been elected, be appointed to
any civil office under this State. which
shall have been created, or the emoluments
Of which shall have been increased, dur
ing such time.'' -.
The law Is as plain as the nose on your
face and there will be uo'partisan effort
made by tho members of tho Legislature
TO evade 1t.
There is no way to get around the Cons.
tllutlon and men who are not properly
gu allied will have to do so or be refused
seat In that body.
From present indications and the man.
neri In which the Democratic press are try
Ing to make mountain out Of mole hill,
the Democrats are driven to desperate
straits in trying to make it appear that
there is discord in the Republican ranks
over the decision of the Executive County
in giving tho nominees their |
of nomination. Thoy even had |
1t reported that DR.. L. Heisler Ball, oandi.
AoVo AOA o"uVo AlCdSuEcA Ito III
The ticket, fearing that no would be de.
'eated The Doctor has no such fears and
Is on the ticket to stay until tho votes are
counted in November.
It now looks as If Mr.. G. M. Leitcb,
President Of CITY Council. would DO up
pointed Collector Of informal Revenue In
Wells place. Mr.. Wells will receive po-
ition In Baltimore, as Mr. Parlett ia q
PERSONAL friend Of his.
1t becomes the duty OF all good Republl.
,ans to SOC that they are registered Oh %.
.ober 22nd, which is the last of the Eve
lays upon which this most important mat.
or can be attended to.
1t Is stated that only the voters who were
eglstered during tho month OF August
an vote ut the nomination election for
Mayor and other city officers which will
10 held next year, We have looked over
he new Constitution. but have boon un-
BILE to find any such law bearing on the
anne.
The Republicans in Kelt and Sussex
cunt es have We believe come 70 their
enses and have concluded to place but one
republican ticket in the field This Is as
should be, Party success first, and per-
onal candidates afterwards.
