covEpNoR mcMIuLEN in his

GOVERNOR McMULLEN in his
inaugural address at Dover ON Tues
day pledged himself to an admins
tration in which economy will be
the watchword, but economy such
that no worthy projects will be ham
pered. This is our understanding
of the section of his address in
which he spoke of the finances OF
the State. He warned present Office
holders that without consideration
of length of service they are to ex-
pect retirement when the new ad-
ministration commences reOrganiza-
ton of the several departments and
commissions over which eventual
control will be had. While the ad-
dress was but a brief outline OF the
immediate aims of the Democratic
party now in control in Delaware
after thirty-six years of absence.
the message bespoke cooperation on
the part of the Republicans in mat
ters affecting the welfare OF the
State. We have little doubt but that
this cooperation will be wholeheart-
ed where partisanship is eliminated.
But in matters of partisan nature.
we predict that the Republican con-
trolled Senate will defeat any mea-
sures of a drastic measure. Much
strife will be averted and the work
of the General Assembly now in ses-
sion will be greatly expedited II
no partisan legislation is attempted.
Taken as a whole the address of the
Governor was we'll received. He
will find the public. regardless OF
party affiliation behind him in all
legislation or move
ments for State betterment. The
Chronicle stands ready at any and
all times to assist Governor McMul-
len in every reasonable suggestion
looking to the PRONUNCIATION OF poll
tics which will work to the public
interest.
