MR.. BIRDS HANDICAP.

CONSIDERING the handicap under which
- he labored, former Mayor Bird made re-
markable run at the election on Saturday. From
the moment that the local Democratic and cor
poration organ turned in for the former mayor
his fate, so far as the chances of his election were
concerned, was sealed. The organ succeeded in
placing the Democratic ticket in pitiable plight
While the advertisements of the Democratic
party and the expressions Of their leaders all told
OF alleged friendship OF the party for the people
on questions between the city government and
the public service corporations, the organ Of the
special interests ignored that subject and gabbled
necessarily about machine rule
The organ also opposed bitterly the initiative
and referendum scheme, which had largely inn
pressed itself upon thousands OF Democrats and
Republicans alike, who believe it to be a good
thing. These Initiative and Referendum Demo-
Gratis, when they saw the Bird ticket so heartily
supported by the special interests organ, which
at the same time attacked them, became suspi-
cious Of the whole Democratic outfit and candi-
dates, and therefore they voted against the
ticket
The result, however, is but a repetition of the
history Of the Democratic party in Delaware for
the last twenty years 1wenty-one years ago
the Democrats were dominant They had such
a grip on the State, largely, to be sure, due to
manipulation OF the election machinery. that the
Republicans did not put ticket in the field. But
the grip of the special interests and the corporate
olgarchy asserted itself. The party shortly af-
terward tumbled to pieces and has never been
able TO regain the ascendency. And the special
interests have pursued the Democratic party in
its own ranks with relentless fury. Their pur-
suit came to a climax when Senator David c.
Rose, of Newark throttled the initiative and
referendum bill in the State Senate, aided by

REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH.

THE result OF the election on Saturday was
4 an Endorsement of the Republican admins
tration and the busness-like methods that have
been put in force in the management of the city
affairs 1t is true that at times the adninistra-
ton may have made some mistakes, but
they were not of sufficient importance TO cause
the voters to defeat the ticket at the polls. The
mayor is to be congratulated upon his reelection
The voters have again expressed their confidence
in him, and they will expect him to be true to the
trust that again has been reposed in the mayor
His own political future is with himself We
have no doubt that the mayor well appreciates
the high honor again awarded him.
The election of Mr.. Taylor as President os
City Council by a large majority, this candidate
leading the city ticket, is a triumph of which he
may well feel proud. Mr. Taylor made good
record as a member Of the City Council that la
bored earnestly to guard the interests OF the city
and to secure from the Legislature new methods
OF taxation to increase the revenues of the city.
Councilman White of the Council is reelected
by a splendid majority. Voters Of his own home
ward approved his course as chairman of the fin
ance committee and commended the efforts he has
made in the taxation matter Mr.. White was
one Of the leaders OF the sentiment Of this city
for Just taxation, and his work at Dover during
the session of the Legislature and as a member
OF City Council has been heartily commended
Mr. Ross, the successful candidate for City
Treasurer, had a hard and trying fight AT the
primaries he defeated popular and efficient pub
lie servant, City Treasurer Charles H. Blaine
who in his position proved himself most faith
ful official. There were many sore spots left
after the primary, but Mr.. Blaine turned in for
the nominees and did everything in his power
TO bring about the election Of the whole ticket
Mr. Blaine's services in this connection will not
Be forgotten.
Mr. James II. Morris was elected tax collector
by good majority, which isl singing rebuke
to the petty effort to discredit him before the
people.
