OVERNOR REFUSES
TO SIGN "BRIBERS"
ASSISTANT REPEALER

Of Kent county when spoken to about
the probability that the repeater was
about to go by the pocket veto on Sat
urday night.
However. the reform need not have
been expected from Union Republicans
and it is all chargeable to the anti-Ad-
dicks legislators of both factions that
this most important business Of the
recent Legislature was delayed until
a Union Republican executive could
kill It,
There was plenty Of opportunity to
have killed this iniquitous measure
particularly after Alice was elected
United States senator, and the Senate
left with sixteen members. ten Of
whom were anti-Addicks men. Had
the bill been hurried through, as was
eminently proper for a measure bring
ing civil and righteous emancipation. IT
could have been passed over the Gov
ernor's veto-I am sure it could"
Among the Union Republicans there
is great jubilation. I'VE are not pre-
pared yet to turn the State over to
Democratic rule again after having
lived under it so long that many Of us
wanted to move away. We are not
prepared as yet to abide by the dicta-
tions of Kenney and Salisbury, and as
for the Regulars. they know absolutely
nothing about Delaware politics. If
the Republicans of Delaware had to
look to them for victory, what q hope
less outlook they'd have, for they We're
never able to make even a creditable
showing at n State election unless the
Democrats. stabbing each other helped
them. One year they even did not put
up a ticket at a campaign where a
Governor and entire State ticket was
to be elected. Their history has al
ways been one of impotency or sur
render to the Democrats. We expect
to get out the entire Republican vote
Of this State next year, and have it
counted. and do you doubt that the
Union Republican party can elect a
clean State ticket from Brandywine to
Baltimore?"
In the final shuttle only two bills
were vetoed by inaction-the voters
assistant repeater and the bill making
the auditor a comptroller OF accounts
Of the State officials. Among the i'm
portant measures signed toward the
last were the following bills
Authorizing certificates TO teach i'm
the free schools without examination
in certain cases.
To punish desecration OF the flag.
Furnishing threats against property.
Abolishing bond for marriage IL
censes.

President Reid, of the Harlan and HIol-

TALK ABOUT REPEALER
Citizens Think Governor Has Made
Grave Mistake.

Citizens Think Governor Has Made
Grave Mistake.
The general topic for discussion
among Wilmingtonians Of all classes
today was the refusal OF Governor
HUM to sign the Voters Assistant re-
pealer Judging from what could be
overheard on street corners and other
places where men congregate, it was
the general opinion that the Governor
has made a grave mistake, and that by
his action in refusing to affix his sig
nature to the bill, he practically ap-
proves Of bribery and voteIbuying in
the State.
Colonel benjamin Nields, who took
a prominent part in getting a delega-
tion to go to Dover to urge the Gov
ernor to sign the. repeater, has the fol-
lowing to say:
Governor Hum, in my opinion,
made a great mistake by refusing to
sign the bill repeating the Voters AS
sistant law. and the people have been
given to understand that me approves
Of vote-buying ana bribery at elections
in Delaware"
Thomas f. Bayard, who was secre-
tary Of the committee that arranged for
the visit to Dover, said:
"Inasmuch as the State Of Delaware
has been held up to scorn before all
the people of the country. largely by
reason Of the working Of bribers and
coTuptionists under the Voters Assist
ant act, the refusal of the Governor
to place his signature upon the repeal
ing bill holds out to the nation at large
that he Governor Hunn), under sol
emn oath to uphold the Constitution
OF the State of Delaware. approves OF
an act which he well knows is absO-
lutely subversive and one of the
strongest mains to overthrow tine form
| of government in which we live"
Ministers of the city were greatly dis
appointed when It was learned that the
bill had not been signed. Clergymer
throughout the State were interested
and with the exception Of one or two
were IN favor Of the repeater.
The Rev. w. F. d. Lewis, pastor oil
Redney Street Presbyterian Church.
had the following to say on the subject
this morning:
81 consider it a blot on the escutch.
con of the State. It is Ia travesty OF
the privilege and power of a governor
veto. 1t simply means the Governor
by such action endorses the dsibauch
cry of the franchise"
Business men are skeptieal as to thi
effect the Governors action may havl
on the industrial boom in this city. Tn.
impression will get out that the State il
politically corrupt. and a man thinkins
of investing half million dollars her
in an industry might hesitate for feai
that the faint in politics might eXten'
to the courts, and that he could nc
hbe assured of justice should he be calle'
into court.
| Thomas IT. Savery, vice-prasidant o
the Pusey and Jones Company. said
Il think the Governor will live 10 &c
the day when he will wish he coull
live last Saturday over again and ac
differently"

CATHOLIC MISSION CLOSED
Father Valentine breaches Farewell
Sermon on Love and Divorce.

r rather valentine breaches Farewell
Sermon on Love and Divorce.
The largest crowd ever seen IN st. Paurs
r. c. Church witnessed the solemn clos
ing OF the non-C Catholic Mission last even
ing. Many people had 10 be turned away
as every available foot of space was oc-
oup'ed from the doors to the altar. Some
who were unable to obtain entrance, lis
tened TO the lecturer from outside the
building.
Many Catholics were present. but the
audience, as on the preceding evenings
was principally non-Catholic. The sub
iect Of the lecture was Free Love, HUI
man Love. Christian Love; or Marriage
and Divorce" Father Valentine said in
part:
Every Christian should be deeply in
terested in the subject Of marriage, for Il
Is a most important one. IT directly af-
fects every individual Of the human fam
lily; marriage IS the root Of the family.
which in turn is the source OF the State %
The speaker then referred to heather
marriage, reaching it's climax I'm the more
than heathenish doctrine Of free love. He
said that marriage which admits Of d.
vorce can be based on nothing stronger
than human love. Catholic marriage can
be dissolved only by death, because 1t IS
based on Christian love- The Catholic
Church alone, he sald Is due to Christ's
teachings, that what God has joined to-
geiher let no man put asmder.
Father Valentines farewell was very
touching and many a moist eye proved
that he carries with him the good win OF
all who heard him.
