EIectIon Of Senators By the PeopIe

Election OF senators by the People
From the New York Sun.
The House of Representatives, by a
large majority, has recommended an
of our Federal Constitution
providing that the senators allotted to
each state shall be chosen by the people
thereof instead of by the Legislature
It is said that a demand to the same
effect will be made in the platform put
forth by the Democratic National Cen
vention. What view of the matter was
taken by the authors of our Federal
organic law? An examination Of FL
lott's report of the debates in the
Philadelphia convention of 1887 will
show that even the proposal that mem
bers of the House Of Representatives
should be chosen by the people encoun-
tered much opposition and that the ap-
plicatiOn of the same method Of cleo
tion to the Senate had not a single ad-
vocate.
When the method Of choosing the
members Of the Senate came up for de-
bate James Wilson, of Pennsylvania
proposed that the senators should be
chosen not, indeed directly by the peo-
pie, but by electors chosen by the peo-
pie. Oliver Ellsworth. of Connscticut
replied: "The State Legislatures ar,
more competent to make a judiciou.
choice than the people at large With
out the existence and cooperation o.
the states a republican government
cannot be supported over so great az
extent of country. We know that th'

MR.. FORD AND Mr.. coocH

Mr., FORD AND NIX. COOCh
Assuming that DIR. John ]. Black
will be a quiescent factor in the con-
test. the light between Peter J. Ford,
of Wilmington, and ]. Wilkins Cooch,
of Pencader hundred, for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor will be
a bitter, uncompromising and interest
ing one. 1t will he bitter and uncom-
promising because Mr.. Ford is earnest
ly desirOus of obtaining the honor and
because there are those who would
move heaven and earth TO prevent him
from enjoying such pleasure and dis
tinction
Mr. Ford is a positive man. He wants
to be governor. He does not go
around singing the old song, my
friends are urging me to run He is
open and above-board, and says: 81
want the nomination" His likes and
dislikes are strong In dealing with
men he knows no middle ground. He
must be friendly or unfriendly He has
made political enemies who will, II
possible, take advantage of an oppor-
tunity to thwart his ambitions.
Mr.. Cooch is less positive. He uses
the middle of the road as well as its
sides when such course suits his con-
venience and serves his interest He,
perhaps. has fewer enemies within his
party, than Mr.. Ford, and yet, perhaps,
he has fewer friends who would go as
far in furthering his ambition.
But the interesting thing about this
fight is that it arrays the city against
the country. II is conceded that the
New Castle delegates to the Democratic
State Convention will be permitted 10
name the candidate for governor. The
fight, therefore, will be for control OF
the New Castle county caucus MT
Ford will be strong here in the city
but whether the Cooch men will permit
him to walk off with the entire Viii
mington delegation, as he did foui
years ago, Is a problem. To accom-
plish his ends, Mr.. Ford must go Ou
into the rural sections Of the county OF
a hunt for delegates. This invasion o
Cooch territory may and doubtless will
inspire the Cooch men in Wilmington
to set mp fights in every ward in an ef
fort TO restrict, as much as possible
the Ford incursions into the outlying
districts.
In the hundreds contiguous to vii
mington Mr.. Ford should have fai
success, but the farther he gets iron
home the more difficulty he will ex
perience in getting delegates ava,
from candidate who is essentiall
rural.
While many Wilmington men hav
aspired to the Office of governor. fey
If any have succeeded in overcomin
rural prejudice against a city man.
Mr.. Ford is able to do so he will b
extremely fortunate. From this tim
on he must watch not only the severi
wards in Wilmington, but also the cui
rent of events Democratic in the te
outside hundreds, for the Cooch me
do not intend that he shall have
walk-over. The senatorial fight an
the gubernatorial fight will blend
many places. and that will lead
complications which will strengthen (
weaken the rural candidate accordir
to the senatorial sentiment prevailir
in the several legislative districts.

General Grosvenor is liberal, for a
