SUSSEX AND THE sENATORsHIP

SUSSEX AND THE SENATORSHIP.
From the Lewes Pilot.
Now that Judge Gray has declined
to be a candidate for the nomination
or election of Senator, the situation
is somewhat clarified, though no one
in close touch with the situation ever
believed the Judge would ever allow
his name 10 be used under any cir
cumstances. This being the situation,
there is now no claim Of the other
counties that can be successfully ad-
vanced to take the Senatorial noniina-
ton away from Sussex county. This
county is entitled to the nomination
from every standpoint and for many
reasons. New Castle has a holding
over Senator and has no claim or
the ofice; Kent is conceded the Gov
ernor and that eliminates her as she
make no successful claim to the two
best Offices in the gift Of the people
and Sussex has not had a Senator
since Willard Salisbury, the elder
Sussex is not only entitled to thu
Senator. but to some of the othel
eight State offices to be found on th'
ticket this year.

DEMOCRATs ADMIT ExTRAvAGANCE.

THE affection which Congressman John j. Fitzgerald,
of Brooklyn, New York holds for the Wilson ad-
minstration is OF the kind that often dissembes itself
and If he is doing anything to help Mr. Wilson succeed
himself il is not visible to the naked eye.
In his capacity as chairman Of the Committee
Appropriations Mr.. Fitzgerald occasionally takes it
upon himself 10 his place call attention TO the
tremendous volume of money which his Democratic col
leagues are spending-and he made such occasion
the other day According TO him the Democrats since
they assembled last December have been getting
away with the peoples money at the rate of ten mil
lion dollars day and the total amount Of the appropra
tions which will be made at this session will doubtless
exceed a billion and a half.
1t also fell to Mr. Fitzgeralds duty to present the
resolution which provided for the continuing appropra
tions made necessary by failure of the Democrats
to pass the regular appropriation bills before the end
Of the fiscal year. and in that connection he regaled the
House with a tabulation Of the occasions when such
a course had been necessary during the past forty
years.
He showed that continuing appropriations had been
made in nnety-one cases since 1s77-and If he had
stopped right there he would have established the pre-
cedent which he was after But with fatal panstaling
he proceeded to enumerate the years and the
wherein such procedure made nesessary and II
became evident that the entire lot only thirteen
occurred while the Republicans had control of Con-
gress and that twenty-five OF the wholeor nearly
quarter-occurred during the recent years when the
Democrats have had a majority.
Republicans of course were not slow in taking ad
vantage of the situation to emphasize the differenc
which this demonstrated between Democratic bungni
and Republican efficiency. The Democrats. however
are wondering whether Fitzgerald did it on purpose

of their time to the sale of tickets.
