q ENAToR WILLARD SALISBURY controls the ed-
~ torial policy Of the Georgeown Sussex journal.
Therefore the following from the columns Of that
newspaper is interesting
1t has turned out just as we expected, and just
any else expected, that socn as some of the
postoifce appointments were made in Delaware the
Republican newspapers jumped upon United States
Senator Willard Salisbury with both feet, and ac
cnsed him OF recommending men not satisfactory TO
a majority OF the people Of the towns in which the
appointments We're made. II Mr.. Salisbury had named
any other than the ones he did name, the result
would have been Just the same The cry would have
been that the people wanted and and that Mr..
Salisbury has made Q great mistake It's impossi-
BILE to please everybody, and th' best way for MI
Salisbury do is to the the people recom-
mend. mot the the Republicans want), and the
people viii back him. We believe Mr. Salisbury Is
trying to name men qualified for the positions,
and in the end the people win soc he is right
We would remind our Sussex county contemporary
that the great burden Of critical comment upon the
appointments made at the instance Of Senator Saus
hury and Representative Brockson comes from Demo-
GRATIS and not from Republican What haa
been said since announcement was made Of the ap-
pointments Of postmasters in wilmington Middietown.
Smyrna and Delmar has had its origin in Democratic
minds, and the feeling Of resentment against the Sem
ator and the Representative in the Democratic party
is becoming more bitter all the time
The method pursued BY Senator Salisbury in select
ing a Cor postmaster Of Wilmington would have
been bad enough under ordinary circumstances When
,-6f Peter j. Ford Thomas n stayton, DR.. Thomas Q.
Cooper and Martin r. FAIRY, but publicly brands Mr..
Ford unqualified prevaricator the offices Of
Republican newspaper not needed to aceentuate
the iii-feeiing in the Democratic ranks.
II also may be said that when Representative Brock
son ignored the claims Of all the Democrats who
applicants for the Middletown postmastershp and APP
pointed his brother to the office, that Repub
can or Republican newspaper had to tell the Demo-
Gratis IN St Georges hundred what to think and what
to say.
Passing down to Smyrna, we find that Senator
Hausbury and Representative Brockson have shattered
the Democratic party to fragrants by Ignoring wholly
the wishes OF the Hazell-Hall- Boyer Truax machine
and recommending the appointment OF A. Lee Cum
minis who being supported by former state sena-
Tor Wilson T. cavender who never has been subser-
Went 10 the Democratic machine OF which former Rep
resentatiye benjamin A. Hazen is the recognized head
Things being said by Democrats in that section
Of Kent county which, owing to lack Of familiarity with
the profane lexicon, would be impossible for Re-
puhiicans 70 prompt the Democrats to say.
Deimar also supplies ample evidence that Republic
can fermentation is necessary 10 stir up Democratic
oiacortent relative 70 the exercise Of the patronage
dispensing power by Senator Salisbury. The appoint
fnent Of r. R. German TO be postmaster in that town
har caused tempest Irving Culver and other prom
nent Democrats that section OF Sussex county are
up in arms against this appointment, and even have
gone so protest directly President Wilson
fact the Democratic party in the town is split wide
open and the Republicans and Republican news
papers have hed absolutely nothing to do with
ing the Spite or keeping Il open.
Both Senator Salisbury and Representative Brock
son arc handling their patronage with the same lack
OF discretion that characterized poor Lo when he put
inc razzie OF his gun 10 his shoulder and pulled
the trigger.
