|EMART GETS
APPOINTMENT.
Governor Hum Named
Him on Saturday. n

Governor Hum made official an-
nouncement to-day Of the appoint.
ment OF S. Frank Ewart as Levy
Court Commissioner from the third
senatorial district. The appoint
ment on Saturday was no surprise
to those on the inside as it was au-
nounced in the REPUBLICAN on
| Thursday on good authority, that
Governor Hum had decided to ap-
point him.
Mr.. Ewart 10 chairman Of the
Urion Republicans Of New Castle
county. In making the appoint
ment Governor Hum said that some
OF Ewart's strongest recommenda-
tions came from his political oppon.
ents. who admitted that nothing
could be said against the candle
dates reputation for honesty aud
tair dealing and for sound aud ag-
'gressive- business qualifications.
The presldent and directors Of
the Newport National Bank certi.
fied TO the integrity Of Ewart.
Mr.. Ewart went to Dover on Sat.
urday in response to a tele phone
message from the Governor, to re-
ceive his commission. Two OF his
most formidable rivals for the place
were Henry Clayton White aud
Harry Taylor. who had strong
backing.
The scramble lor the Chairman.
ship Of the court will take place to-
morrow and-it is TO be hoped that
election will not create the bad
feeling that the last one did, wheu
John Lynn made a deal with the
two Democratic members to elect
himself president.
Mr.. Willltts and Mr.. Megginsou
have been mentioned as proba bic
successors to Mr.. Ivan las prcsi-
dent Of the court. The organiza-
tion OF the Levy Court will outline
the spring appointments. Mr..
Chandler would like to preside over
the court, and ,it 1t believed Mr..
Willitts would not refuse the honor.
Messrs. Chaudler, Elliott and vii.
lifts have been acting toge ther.
Messrs. Armstrong and Mealey. the
two Democractic members, aud Mr..
Megginsop have been coinclding
and therefore the organl2 alton OF
the Levy Court depends upon tho
vote Of the new member.
All the constables, tax collect.
ors, bridge tenders and the fore.
employed at the Court House are
elected annually. Therefore the
election of all the officers
mentioned depends also upon The
organization Of the court. as it re-
quires iour votes to elect on the
slate. Bat Of far more importance
is the naming Of the Trustees ofthe
Poor. During the present month

WE have bssn given to under.
stand that Governor Hunn's latest
appointment has not met with the
approval thAtit should have, es-
pecially in the city of Wilmingto
The story goes that the Governor led
come Of the leading Republicans Of
our city 10 think that he would not
be in hurry to fill the vacancy
made IN the Levy Court BY the
resignation Of John Lynn. In fact
there are numerous persons who
feel sore over the appointment.
Some say what right had Frank
Alice 10 meddle in the affairs Of
New Castle county. He has as
much as he can do to look after his
ieuces in Kent county. Then an
other said Congressman l.. II. Bali
will feel very much ehagrined over
the appointment. Particularly as
he had had a conference with the
Union Republican leaders In Kent
aud Sussex counties, that he would
divide the appointments between
the two wiugs Of the Republican
party. But there was not thes least
fault found with the Governor when
he appointed Mcssrs. Elliott and
Willetts, aud we do not see what
objection can be made against S.
Frank Ewart. He Is a Republican
and man above reproach in char
acter aud well qualified 10 every
sense to make valuable member
OF the Levy Court. We are almost
confident that State Senator j.
Frank Alice had little or nothing
to do with influencing the Governor
IN making the appointment. We
do not see where the Governor can
be Justly criticised for appointing
ME. Ewart, as he is the only pro-
uounced Union Republican in that
body. We nave known the gentle
mao for some time and are willing
TO trust him to transact the affairs
OF the county in an honest and eco
nomical manner. We think that he
should be given trial before being
unlustly criticised. The Sunday
Star speaking Of his appointment
saws:
Governor Hum has appointed
Frank S. Ewart OF Hockessin, as
Levy Court Commlss loner Tor New
Castle county 10 succeed John Lvun,
resigned. We are unfamiliar with
MIR. Ewart's qualifications Tor the
office. but It is to be presumed that
he is honest and capable. IN which
case. he Will of course. all Y hImss,t
with the better element oil the court
as now constituted and aid in up
roofing the corrupt practices ard
IL amending the lax methods which
have prevailed IN tie management
OF comfy affairs !or the past lew
years The fact that the appoint
ment appears TO have been dictated
by a Kent coanty po!itlcan will not
be pleasing TO the people ol this
county. and the further fact that
this politician is 0! the vlrulcnt Al-
dicks stripe is not hope'uI O! the
best results. But Mr.. Ewart should
not be judged by these surface IN
dlcatlon>; he should be given fair
chance TO prove his worth bv his
othcal acts. The eyes OF the peo-
pic are upon him. and lie alone can
determine their verdict.
