THE DEMOCRATIC LAMB.

ACCORDING to the Dover State News,
n pretty good Democratic authority and an
organ OF the Cow Lane Democrats, the old party
must be in a very peculiar condition. 1t has eN-
listed for several reasons, one of which has been
for the purpose of heecing Willard Salisbury,
the State Chairman, of this city. The Dover
News sheds an interesting light upon the situa-
ton After resenting coveted attack upon
young MIR. Holland. of Milford, made by the IN
dex, OF Dover, the News says:
Last fall Mr.. Salisbury declined to be
Democratic Chairman longer, and his critics
might have been expected TO grab at the va
cancy Not a man of them came forward to
take the Job. They were silent fence
posts. But after the Craftsmanship had been
cuffed around and finally forced back on Mr..
SALISBURY his little enemies came out of
their dark holes and reopened their attacks.
And why there not man who would
take the Craftsmanship? Simply because none
of them was willing to be pillaged and heec-
ed by the party as Willard Salisbury has
been done Not a man of them would go
down in his pocket and pull out the stuff,
and keep pulling 1t out, to keep the party
ganization moving. About ten years Mr..
SALISBURY has been doing this without a
single thing IN return except the abuse of
those whom the Index represents. II must
be admitted that his duty has been heavy
and cheerless. And when ever he unloads
Joke IN our State politics.
The little washing of soiled linen among our
Democratic friends of late, has been decidedly
entertaining as it has revealed various matters
that have been hidden more or less, in the past
All the party wants OF its so-caled leader. ac-
cording to the news, is that he should be per
sonage who stands ready to be heeced and pill
laged and Mr. Salisbury is the only lamb that
has been willing to stand up to be shorn by the
party
All the pretensions and efforts OF the party to
stand out against the Republicans Of Delaware
have been subordinated to the one great fleeing
problem. The interesting question is whether
the victim proposes to continue such for the
edihcation of his party. There is no indication
that the feecers intend to abandon the job II
