FROM time immemorial, the Dem
ocratic papers of Delaware have
announced after nominating a
ticket; that the signs of the times
and the great harmony in that
party lisa sure precursor of success,
and no exception is noted in their
utterance of last week in comment
on the Kent County Convention,
which was not marked by but ont.
expression of enthusiasm during
its session. The signs of the times
have pointed to defeat for Demo
Gratis for several years past i'll Del
ware; and, as yet, nothing points
to a change in the signs of the
times. The people of Delaware
remember the old system of Demo
cratic government in Delaware, t.

are always disgruntled over thei
personal interests, but the grea
bulk IF the party is true to prin
ciple, and the people have conf
dence in it. No, there is not an
change in the signs of the time
up to date, and next November wi
demonstrate the fact.

President Appoints oliver Wendell
Holmes to the Supreme Bench.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 12.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt yesterday afternoon
announced that he had appointed
Hon. Oliver Wendell Holmes, chief
Justice of the supreme court Of Mas
sachusetts. to be an associate justice
of the United States supreme court
vice Justice Gray, resigned.
The resignation of Justice Gray was
due to ill-health. Several months ago
he suffered a stroke of apoplexy,
which some time later was followed
by another. He has not appeared on
the bench since he was stricken the
first time. His advanced age-74
years-told against his recovery with
serious force, and he decided
to resign. He was appointed an
associate justice by President Arthur
on December 10. 1881, his service ex-
tending, therefore. through a period
of nearly Fl years.
Judge Holmes, whom the president
has selected as Justice Grays success
sor, is one of the most distinguished
lawyers and jurists of Massachu'
sets. His career on the bench, par
ticularly as chief justice Of the Mas
sachusetts supreme court, has at
tracted wide attention. Like Justice
Gray, he is a native of Massachusetts
He is a son and namesake of the late
DR.. Holmes, the poet and essayist,
