The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1899-06-26
POLITICS OF
!. ALL KINDS.

The political rot written by Re.
publican Glasses tor the Sunday
Star was, as usual, on Sunday, full
of the material that does not help
the Republicans to get together.
Mr.. Fred Bach should be careful
how he uses the Kings English
and he should remember that there
was time when he was more than
anxious for the writer of these notes
to publish his articles in the RE-
PUBLICAN. AS for the position OF
census supervisor not being sought
after by Mr.. Willis, that is not true.
He did make an effort for the posi-
ton and was successful, that is all
there is toit. The REPUBLICAN has
nothing against the Rev. Jonathan
Willis personally, but his politics
have been rather mixed here of late.
If his appointment, like Fred Bachs
will help to cement the two Repub-
llcan factions in Delaware together
we shall say. we'll done, good and
faithful servant.
The "illiterate and ill-informed
fellow whose marvellous compost
tons, for some unaccountable reason
appear in the editorial columns of
the REPUBLICAN, has been ranting
in rage at the appointment OF Mr..
Willis. giving Colonel DUPONT cred
it for the appointment The above
is from the pen of the only man in
Delaware who knows politics and
has been successful in gathering in
a $500 government position. But
as to the illiterate fellow who writes
for the REPUBLICAN, he knew more
than was published, and his infor-
mant was as reliable person as
the man who has been writing the
Republican political Glasses in the
Sunday Star for the pastfour years.
The political editor of the REpuB-
LICAN would rather own pecuniary
interest in the slot machines than
hold any Federal position in Della.
were, if the police department would
promise to keep their hands off and
let the machines do business as
freely as the gamblers were allowed
and protected at the Wawaset Driv-
ing Park last Wednesday and
Thursday. He never asked to be
supervisor and did not expect to re-
ceiye it, therefore he was not griev-
ously disappointed when Mr. Willis
was named for the position, but
there several others who were and
are yet nursing their chagrin at not
getting the plum.
Union Republican Glasses says:
"There is need of a new city char.
ter" The Democrats as. we'll as
numerous Republicans in the last
Legislature thought the same thing
but they were afraid to pass the
bill.
The census enumerators for Della
ware will be about 200 and are en-
ployed for 90 days at 50 a day.
They Will be equally divided among
the Democrats and Republicans.
Senator kenney will name tine Demo-
Gratis and the Lord knows who will
name the Republicans, probably
Fred Bach.
To-day's Morning News says:
"Mr. Will S has been in Washing
ton the past week looking after his
own interests, and it is said he has
been assured of the appointment.
Representative John Sattertield Of
Dover had the endorsement of Con-
gresham Hotfecker. and it is said
that Representative James W. Rob-
crtson of this city has the backing
of influential Regulars. y
Now, Mr.. Bach, what have you to
say?
The Sun said that Bach was paid
$1,000 during the session of the Leg
islaturc, BY one of Mr.. Addicks'
representatives, to promote his (Ad-
dicks Senatorial boom. Fred says
he never saw the money. And here
you are.
