and he was named. John F. Sauls-
bury could have had it had he sad
the word. and I incline to the belief
that later John r. regretted that ne
had not awaited himself Of this OPP
portunstv for distinction.
The election of the Democratic
ticket being a foregone conclusion
the campaign, of course. was quiet
and devoid Of interest, aside from the
Democratic primaries for legislative
and other nominations. and some Of
them were hot enough to scorch, and
corrupt enough 10 disgust But, 10
matter what satisfaction might have
prevailed, there was no show fot
.bolters: as the support Of the Demo-
cratic party organization was suffl-
cient TO elect all the regularly chosen
candidates, And this primary rotten
ness led to the passage Of the Pri-
mary Election law by the next legisla-
ture.
An Appropriate Selection.
Future events showed that the Sc
lection Of Benjamin T. Biggs for gov
ernor at that time was most appro-
pirate and felictous. During his
term there were several notable eele-
brations of a national characteristic
centennial Of the adoption Of the
Federal Constitution among them
involving public assemblages and
parades in Washington and other
cities. At each demonstration Dgla-
ware was represented By her militia,
holding the right OF the line invari-
ably, and with Governor Biggs in
command. And what a splendid ag-
are he was on horseback, riding Like
Centaur, bowing gracefully in re-
sponse to the impuIsivs- plaudits ne
invariably commanded from the adj
nliring crowds, his long white locks
fiowing in the air. Being a fluent
and pleasing speaker. and a man of
wide information, his forensic efforts
were an additional charm. Altogether
Governor Biggs not only served his
State well in sthe office, but reflected
great credit upon it when acting as
its accredited representative at inn
portang public functions.
