A RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE

1t is amazing how little wild talk
there has been during the depression
on the part of labor and the political
parties of dissent.
There have been no strikes, no
threats of reprisals. Labor. speak,
ing generally. has shown disposi
ton to bear it's share of the burdens
that have fallen on all alike. Wide
spread unemployment and an un-
avoidable drop in the average wage
scale-a drop which has largely been
compensated by lower commodity
prices-have not shaken the faith
of an overwhelming percentage of
workers in the stability of the gov
ernment and the ability of industry
to work its way out of its troubles.

Milford, Friday, July Is, 1882

DURING the next few weeks Re-
publican voters will be called upon
to elect delegates to the State Con-
vention, which body will nominate
a State Ticket to be placed before
the electorate in November. Four
years ago Sussex County by all party
precedent because of the rotation
system of nominating candidates for
office should have received the CUB
ernatorial candidate, but nOtwith-
standing the fact that a Sussex
Countian went to the convention
with forty-one of the forty-two dele
gates from this county tactics were
used which crushed the will of Sus-
sex Republicans and c. Douglass
Buck was nominated. The merits or
demerits of his administration have
been discussed frequently by this
newspaper during the past four
years. Where praise was warranted,
we have bestowed it-and where
criticism was justified we have
voiced it.
It might be well to pause and con-
slider the campaigns of four years
ago and of today.
Four years ago those favoring the
Buck candidacy were more than
willing to solicit and receive the
support of General J. Austin Ellison,
political power in Wilmington and
rural New Castle county. At that
time the daily press in Wilmington
and many of the Democratic newspa-
pers which now are engaged in
broadcasting the virtues of our gov
ernOr, did not condemn candidate c.
d. Buck because he had as a sup
porter and political ally ]. Austin
Ellison. The present campaign finds
a new alignment in the political ac-
tivities of General Ellison. Occur
RANGES of the past year or more have
made political enemies of Buck and
EllisOn-with the result that the Ell
lison forces are aligned behind I. d.
Short, of Milford and Sussex county.
The daily press in Wilmington and
the weekly papers supporting the
New Castle county man for renomi-
nation now find General Ellison
terrible man with whom to do busi-
ness and condemnation is heaped !
upon the head of all Short support
ers because of this Ellison support. |
Strange, but true, just what kind of |
bed fellows a political campaign |
will make. Candidate Buck four |
years ago gladly accepted Ellison |
support-and candidate !. Dolphus |
Short this year would be political
fool should he refuse this support. |
Present indications are that he well
comes it as well as aid from all ang-
les, just as will Governor Buck
gladly accept the backing of all po-
litical workers whether they be
saints or sinners. 1t is about time
the smoke screen is tossed aside,
and that the issues to be fought out
at the Republican primaries shall
be brought into the open. The Chron-
icle stands firmly for one issue at
this time. 1t is this. Sussex county
by all right and reasoning is en-
titled to the gubernatorial nomina-
tion. l. d. Short is the Sussex coun-
ty candidate for this office. He is
capable in every respect of filling
the office and by every rule of the
game should be nominated. His ad-
ministration will be just as success
full, and just as economical as has
been that of the present encumbent
Sussex county should rally to his
support.

HURLEY LEAVES
COMMITTEE in
PERSONAL HUFF

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. W.P)-
Secretary of War Patrick Hurley
walked out of the senate territories
committee hearing on the Philip
pines today erclaiming:
You can run your star chamber
session without me-"
Questions by Senator King which
led to hot words preceded the
departure of the secretary from the
committee room.
II have taken all l can stand"
Hurley snapped as he left the wit
ness chair.
He accused Senator King of at
tempting to distort his statements
and when King replied that the
charge was untrue shouted angrily:
You cannot call me a liar"
Previously Secretary Hurley had
been angered by questions of Sem
ator Cutting RepD New Mexico,
regarding United States promises
to the Philippines under the pre-
amble of the Jones act, the Or
ganic act of the islands.
Hurley replied at some length
with rising bitterness.
You are weakening the author
ity of the United States while you
are still making it responsible for
the consideration which will ensue
from this BILL" he said
Pardon me, I asked simple
question. I did not expect stump
speech interposed Cutting.
"Inasmuch as you think anything
say in disagreement with your
views is stump speech, will go
direct to the record said Hurley.
His anger mounting Hurley then
said, in effect, that since his ap-
pearance before the committee it
had been a kind of les majestic to
have views in disagreement with
the committee while what the COM
mittee members said was "the high
est wisdom"
Senator King took up the exam
ination.
Haven't you been projecting the
economic factor into the question
to the subordination of questions
of political independence" he
asked.
Hurley said he had not and then
accused King of having tried "ab-
solutely to distort my statements" "
Soon he was on his way to the
door.
The committee went Immediately
into executive session.

HISTORIC PAPER
IN POSSESSION
OF LOCAL WOMAN

A local relic connected with the
death of Abraham Lincoln is owned
by Mrs. c. K. Berry, 1853 CONNER
cial street, Ell Centro.
Mrs. Berry brought to The Press
office this week, an original issue
of the New York Herald of April
Is. 1865, containing the news of the
shooting and death of the Great
Emancipator.
The paper, a four page issue, is
in excellent condition. The column
rules on the first page are turned in
mourning for the lost leader. The
lead column describes the shoot
ing of the President, a tragedy with
which all Americans are familiar.
In another column is brief dis
patch to Major General Dix at New
York from Edward M. Stanton, Lin
coins secretary of war, stating:
Abraham Lincoln died this morn
ing at % minutes past z o'clock" +"
Two other stories are of partic-
ular interest. Sherman'S army is
reported on the move and Jeff
Davis, at Dansville is quoted as say
ing that the fall of Richmond was
really a blessing to the Confeder-
acy, as the armies could now move
about and not have to defend the
capital.
The paper was owned originally
by J. r. Baxter, father of Mrs.
Berry, who lived at Moscow, Iowa.
