From the Wilmington Sunday Star.
AT last the legislature is adjourned,
aud Republicans OF Delaware realize that
their lot in the future will be hard one.
BY the attitude of seven Regular Repub-
lican members in the legislature, the
election of two Senators was prevented,
and the most logical method for reuniting
the party after its disastrous factional
quarrel was lost. This leaves the Repul-
lican ranks in such a condition that the
Democrats are in high gec over the

premacy i'll the legislature two years

FIFTY YEARS A CONGRESSMAN

Galusha Aaron Grow, Congressman at
large from Pennsylvania, at noon on
March celebrated the tiftieth ami
vcrsary of his entrance into the Con
gress OF the United States.
He was but twenty-seven when OH
the 4th Of March, 1851, he appeared on
the floor of the lower House of the
Thrty-sccond Congress. He was at that
time the Youngest member of Congress
and today he is the oldest-a legislator
of scventy-eight.
Congressman Grow is a representa-
tive Pennsylvania, yet he was born in
Connecticut. He is representative Re.
publican, yet he entered public life as a
Democrat. His first election was strictly
i'll the nature OF compromise.

Twice candidate for President Will

York city on business connected with
the weekly paper OF which he is editor
and proprietor. Not one of the Tam
many leaders called upon him, and his
presence in the hotel attracted only few
of the free silver men who have been
faithful to him since the campaign of
1896. On the occasion of his last visit,
toward the close of last Falls campaign,
he was the companion of Richard Croker
and Madison Square was 50 densely
packed that hundreds of policemen were
needed to make a lane for the carriage il

AN IMPOSSIBLE PREMISE.

Ex-President Cleveland is out in an
other letter of sounding platitudes about
the justice and wisdom of Democratic
principles; and asks, why should there
not be return to the days when Demo
cratic principles We're advocated in Dem
ocratic fashion? He says:
The answer to this question is not
found In less applicability than formerly
of Democratic doctrine to present con-
ditions. On the contrary, there never
was n time when they were more needed
to cure evils which afflict our body
polite, and there never was time
when our countrymen would be more
willing to accept Democracy as they
once knew it as safeguard against
existing and threatening ills.
1t is not difficult to agree with Mr..
Cleveland granting his premise. In
stating it he says: '"rhere never was
time when our countrymen would be
more willing to accept Democracy as
they once knew it as safe guard
against existing and threatening ills. =
The difficulty in the matter is that
'"our countrymen" never knew the Dem
ocracy to be a safe guard against exist
| ing or threatening ills. In the first place
it never was a safe guard of any such
character, in any such circumstances as
now obtain. The party representing it
has been out of the safe guarding busi-
ness for at least 40 years, having only
! two trials of its ability at safe guarding
things in that period, and it failed in
both of them. So it follows that 'oul
countrymen" who are now alive know
nothing of the Democratic party but its
efforts to break up the Union wher
forced by vote of the people to sur
render authority in national affairs, ant
its miserable failures to successful,
govern the country during its recent tw,
terms of national authority That is n
they once knew it, and now remembe
the Democracy.
1t is also a fact that when the peopl
thought they knew it, they didn't know
it. History proves that the whole thin,
was .chcat and deception. To brin,
about what the cX-President appears t,
imagine possible the world would hav
to be turned back for a hundred years
to find the conditions into which til
Democracy would fit, and to find til
people who could accept the Democrac
as they once knew it.
, Mr.. Cleveland's premise is impossibl
and there is no foundation for what h
, has alleged.

ing"-has actually occurred in our poll
tics. The failure OF the legislature to
perform its duty in the election Of United
States Senators is manifestation of
such goodness. Seven Republicans, by
some undescribable force, by some mis-
take of comprehension, thought it bet
ter citizenship to join with the Demo
ocrats in that body and help them violate
the law OF political succession in this
country, than to join with the majority
OF the Republicans of that body in volun-
/ tary obedience to the law preserving the
continuity of the States organization
and it's relation to the Union of States.
They pretended to be good citizens. Are
they good citizens? Have not these Re-
publicans, and those who influence and
support them in their course, not mis-
taken the 'too good for the good? the
good for nothing for the practical good ?
Good citizenship is not pretense of
higher than law morality in politics; but
is voluntary obedience to the law in
letter and spirit. Good citizenship, like
other things, is known by its fruits. The
man, or men, who commend violation OF
the law and applaud violations of the
law, and not manifesting good citizen
ship.
Good citizenship demanded the elec
I
tion of two Republican United States
Senators by the State legislature il
obedience to the decision of the people
made at the polls.

IN DEMOCRATIC FASHION.

Commenting upon Ex-President Cleye-
lands letter to the Crescent Club Of Bal
timore. Every Evening says:
Here is good, sound and practical ad-
vice. The meat Of the letter. however.
IS conveyed in the assertion there were
days when Democratic principles advo-
Gated in Democratic fashion, gave guar
antee Of Democratic supremacy That
is the need OF the hour-"Democratic
principles, advocated in Democratic
fashion," And nowhere is this need
more imperative than in the State Of
Delaware.
This comes from that very active and
sympathetic ally Of the Republican
members OF the legislature who defeated
the election of two Republican United
States Senators. When it was encourag-
ing them to defeat the Republican ma
iority's efforts to elect Republican Sen
ators, it was working for the success of
| Democratic principlcs(D advocated and
| applied in Democratic fashion. There is
| no doubt about that; and so far as the
| Republican members OF the legislature
took Every Evenings advice, they were
working for. and promoting the same
thing. That is why Every Evening and
every other Democratic newspaper in
the State, and the United States, is
praising the men who defeated the Re-
publican majority.
Do Delawareans want Democratic
principles advocated again in Democratic
fashion in this State? Do they want a
recurrence of the Democratic riots by
which Republican professions and meet
ings were disturbed and broken up? Dc
they want the Dougherty police regime
