DESERVING CANDIDATES.

DESERVING CANDIDATES.
Representative Robertson's thoughtful
ness of the deserving poor is very COM
mendable so long as it does not inter-
fere with desired finale. He has appar-
emily started in to thrust fame upon
some folk whose chances in that line
are remote. MIR. Robertson is voting for
Ex-National Commtteeman-by-proX
Thompson. There are several candidates
of the Thompson variety whose chances
for future fame are as remote as are
those of the Ex-proxy; and if they are all
to be taken care of Mt this session of the
legislature, Mr.. Robertson needs help.
We suggest that when the Thompson
cognomen is sufficiently fixed in the re-
cords, that Thomas j. Talley, Esq, be
similarly complimcntcd. He deserves it,
As colleague of the Ex-proxy he is
every whit his equal in sincerity. He is
an Anti-Addcksite of the first degree.
1t is related of him that he refused to
vote for Governor Hum because the Gov
the indscreton of shaking hands with
MIR. Addicks. The exquisite sensitive
ness of Thomas J. could not forgive so
grave fault, and because of that consti-
tutional popularity of Thomas J., his
vote is credited TO the Democratic guber-
Material candidate in the commonly ac-
cepted opinion about that matter. Sure.
~ such ideal views of patriotic duty
ought TO be remembered; and if we may
be permitted to express an opinion, il will
be remembered Thomas Us fame is Sc
cure.
We have suggested that there arc
others, and remember now that Mr.
Hoffccker, "Gur Frank" made bid fol
political fame i'll an interview recently
published in the leading Democratic
journal Of the State. This gentleman
has a long and varied political record
There is a suspicion that he was born 4
candidate for office. Ii there is an of
fee within the gift of the people fol
which he has not solicited Il candidates

its existence. We recently saw mention
Of him as Republican candidate fol
mayor at the next June election. Pos
sibly mention is all he wants. 1t surel!
is all he will get. But Mr.. Hoffecke
has not been voted for for United State
ton. Put his name in the permanen
lprlSlutIVn rprpI1 that ht,s
IN the next century, in deying for famil,
history in State records may say tina

III the historic Senatorial controversy .
1901, when the election of Mr.. Addick
10 the senate ended the Democratic pro
slavery period Of Delaware history-tha
will be fame.
Another aspirant for political honors
but one whom we cannot commend IA IN
favor Of Representative Robertson. i
samuel-Every- Evening Bancroft. l
was SAID Of Samuel, during the campaign
that he had figured out that he was :
logical candidate for United Stat, Sen
atof. since the election we learn that Ii,
1iHo lSNlSSu MS IlEuFcS. lie an thar one,
before when congressional election
slipped by him with few figures. which
ne did not anticipate, on the wrong sid,
of the account. We recall, indistinctly
runor or something Of the sort ii
which Samuel's pataromi- was associate,
with that of the late Thomas L. Bayard
and that his peculiar political status i,
due to that incident. Mr.. Bayard,s nam,
Is permanently recorded in the State,
history, ana somewhere, not very fn,
away, the name of Bancroft ought to an
pear.-What would Crusoe be witlout
Friday! The profuse generosity Of
Samucl-Eycry- Evening Bancroft in civ
ing good (!l advice to the Anti Addicks
lies ought to make him famous as n no
ltical molaist.
There are others who claim to mention
as Senatorial candidates we regret tc
ignore ut this time, but may at some
other time.
