Delaware's gifted young Senator has been fre
quently and favorably mentioned by Democratic
journal» in various portions of the Union as a
most Mtiiabfecandidate for the office of Vice
President of the United States under the leader
ship of Hon. Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio, for
President ; and the names of Thurman and
Bayard have been heralded abroad as the most
proper and acceptable candidates for the two
highest offices, within the gift of the people, at
the next Presidential election. But the Cecil
Democrat , of Saturday last, reiterating the senti
ments proclaimed by the New York World on a
previous occasion, places at the bead of its edi
torial column the name of Hon T. F. Bayard as
its first choice for the Presidency in 1876.
It cannot fail to be a matter of intense gratifi
cation to every true Delawarean to
of one of their favorite citizens thus so freely
and laudingly used by the people of the larger
states in this high connection. Hitherto in the
choice of Presidential candidates Delaware has

Now, however, when policy is rapidly giving
away to principle, and men are beginning to feel
that honesty and capability

turning their eyes to Delaware's Senator

It is the proud boast of Delaware that her
sons have ever been faithful to .their country in
her hours of peril, and when sho most needed
their aid. They look back, with pardonable
pride, upon her past record, and rejoice that she
was the first State to ratify the constitution
under which the nation lias grown and prosper
ed in a degree unprecedented, and unparalleled,
in the annuls of the world. But their chief and
greatest cause for self-gratulation is that, in all
the time that has elapsed since that constitution
became the organic law of the land, never, by
word or deed, has Delaware, as a State, broken
one single jot or tittle of that law. Not a single
act, or sentence, disgraces her statute book
which even her bitterest and most implacable
violation of the
enemies can construe into
strict letter of the constitution.

meantime the authorities look idly on and make
no effort to discover and puuish the perpetrators
of this great crime. Assuredly all must see that
the public is directly affected by and interested in
this affair. Had the child been murdered the
mayor of Philadelphia would long ere this have
issued a proclamation offering a reward for the
capture of the murderers.
Yet here is a crime far more distressing than
murder, and hy which society is, if possible,
more deeply affected, and the authorities take ao
part, and the agonized parents are left to fight
the battle atone. The people ought to take this
matter in hand and force the mayor, aye and, it
need be, the Governor too, to offer a reward suf
ficiently large to induce the capture of the offend
ers aud bring them to justice. The New York
World and other leading journals have been mak
ing some strong efforts to stir up the people to a
sense of the importance and magnitude of this
offence, but these appeals should not be confined
to the few ; every paper should lend its aid to
unearth this crime, and to crush such acts in
their incipiencj.

St An Reform. — The Radicals base their
claims to the suffrages of the people of Delaware
upon their many and oft-repeated promises of
State reform. Among other things they are con
stantly howling about Democratic extravagance
in administering the government and are nlways
telling how economical they would be if the peo
ple would only give them n chance to manage
the state a little while. Like the citizens of
every other state the people of Delaware have no
way of judging the future except by the past,
and they can only judge what the Republicans
I could do from what they have done. The Re
publicans of Delaware are not
than their political brethren of other states. As
they do elsewhere so would the}' do here. The
following estimate of the cost of some of the
state governments which have been long in the
hands of these " Reformers " will give some idea
of the kind of economy that they usually exer

year, or $1.04 a head, in New Hampshire

The people may rest assured that the cost of sus

at 25 cents a head if they ever do so foolish a

Ma. Editor. —I should not have bothered you
with anything more ou the nomination by bal
lot subject, only there was another communica
tion in your lust paper on the same subject. It
seemed to hold out the idea that it w
to nominate members of the Legislature and Levy
Court by ballot throughout the county
ticket, ns sheriff and coroner. What ignorant
nonsense. There are nine mctnbeis of the Legis
lature and six Levy Court commissioners, and
they are apportioned from the different hundreds;
and there has been heretofore five delegates ap
pointed from each Hundred to nominate these
. In the place of these five appointed dele
gates from said hundreds, it is proposed that the
voters of each hundred select the candidate by
ballot that will come from their hundred. It is
presumed that there will be more brains em
ployed iu the selection, for, in addition to all
others, the brains of those five delegates can be
included.
And, further, it is not a fact that at the late
county meeting, held the 6th of June, a resolu
tion was passed to ask the next Legislature to
lay the State off in single election districts, and
give each district the right to elect their member
of the Legislature and Levy Court. Therefore, if
the next Legislature passes such a law, does not
common sense presume that each of said districts
will have to nominate its candidate? As the
late county meeting, hy resolution, admitted that
the Democratic party would have se
to nominnte by single districts the next two years,
that is, if the Legislature this winter passes said
bill, is it not a charitable conclusion that they
have sense enough now ? Then away with such
nonsensical trash as that Newark letter. He must
have a poor opinion of the Democratic voters
when he asserts that they can be bought for a
drink of whiskey and retained. Every

Doubtless you have seen in the papers ac

destroyed or nearly so, and many of the people
are in a state of great want.
The grasshoppers can be seen at midday flying
by the million, looking like a snow storm. In
the middle of the afternoon they light upon the
fields of grain, and soon, in a few hours, all is
destroyed. The fields of wheat appear as brown
as the soil, and perfect clouds are about you as
you walk or drive through it. This is a new
country, and the people depend largely upon
their crops. Last year all was destroyed, and

A horrible accident occurred about four miles
west of Monroeville, Va., last week. A farmer
named Largen attempted to fill a lighted kero

and a terrible explosion followed. Mr. Largen
was severely burned about the head, neck and

his side, were so terribly burned that they all
died in a few hours afterwards. With great dif

Middlktown, July 14th, 1874.
Mr. Editor : In your issue of the 11th inst.,
Mr. Wm. Dean and Mr. Samuel Townsend dis
cuss the question of the mode of nominating can
didates for the Legislature and Levy Court, Mr.
T. also undertakes to give, for the benefit of
young Democrats, the history of nominations in
this county ; but as his history is not very clear,
and not altogether correct, I will undertake to
state what " 1 know about nominations."
Mr. T. states that some years after 1838 the
Democratic party changed the mode of nominat
ing candidates for the Legislature and Levy
Court, and that the Whig party, afterward,
adopted the same mode. Now the facts are,
that the change from County Conventions to
nominations by direct vote in each Hundred,
was made by the Democrats at the spring meet
ing, at Delaware City, in 1850; the Whigs had
made their nominations for Sheriff and Coroner,
before, and 1
nd Levy Court, also, by
by direct vote, for y
certain for Legisl&t
the same mode, so that instead of the Whigs fol
lowing the example of the Democrats, the latter
followed the Whigs.
Under the new mode the Democratic ticket
was nominated in the summer of 1851), and was
elected, not because the manner of nomination
gave us a better ticket than those run in '44, '46
and '48, which were all defeated, ( we elected the
Sheriff in '48,) but because there was a split in
the Whig party, caused hy the temperance men,
and the further defection of others of the party
who were offended by the course of Mr. J.M. Clay
ton in regard to the Federal appointments for
this State. In 1852 the ticket w
nated in the same manner. Pencadcr Hundred
nominated David Caulk for the Legislature, lie
was very objectionable to many persons, and
scratched from the ticket, and in many cases
no other name was put in the place of Caulk's.
This action, under the election law of that time,
caused that " branch " of the ticket to be thrown
out; in consequence of which we not only lost
Caulk, but lost several other members of the
Legislature, so that the Whigs had a majority,
and at the ensuing session elected the U. S.
Senator.
The Democrats were very much chagrined;
although they had u clear majority, and secured
the Electoral vote, really, for the first time, for
the Democratic candidates, yet they had thrown
away the Legislature, and an U. S. Senator. It
ing simply

was charged that this result
to the manner of nomination ; that so objection
able a roan as Caulk could not have been nomi
nated in a Couuty Convention ; therefore at the
spring meeting
the system of nominating candinutcs for the Leg
islature, etc., by County Conventions was adop
ted without dissent, and the ticket

s so notni

ment that the ret
and that it was then made to punish him; but
the foregoing are the facts. Furthermore, Mr.
strong advocate for the return, a fact
which he doubtless well remembers. In 1856
disputes arose in Christiana and Appoquioitnink
as to candidates, and incidentally, as to the
inode of nomination, when it was very clearly
decided, both bv the Convention and the County
meeting, that tile rule of the party was, " that
the body that elected, was the body that shall
nominate." So the rule was settled, (it was
afterwards embodied with other rules) and has
thus stood for twenty years. Although an effort
was made, some years since, to change the rules,
and a committee appointed to consider the mat
ter, yet the Chairman of the committee who was
favorable to the change, finding, probably, that
the change was not desired by the party, never
called bis committee together, and the subject
died a quiet death. Because the rules i
respects have been departed from, more i
ter of form than in matter of substance, Mr. T.
SKggcsts that they bf no longer regarded in any
respect—upon the good old principle, " that two
wrongs make a right the only time when any
principle of the rnles was violated, was in 1804,
when the party neglected to nominate candi
dates for Sherili and Coroner according to the
rules : and the County Convention afterwards
made theinomination. The rules were changed
in principle, at the last County Convention, by
the admission of ten instead of five delegates
from NY il tningtou ; but the change wns made
regularly, the Convention having an undoubted
right to make it.
As io the campaign of 1858, Mr. Townsend
hns had his account of his move
so often, that it bus become matter of history ;
however, it is not to be supposed that any Dem
ocrat wishes to deprive him of any hoiwrs \\ç may
have gained in that campnign, or pluck his
laurels from his brow. So much for the histor} .
Much has been said about white men being de
prived of their rights under these rules, but is
this the case? Has any
the delegates ever violated their trust? Have not
our tickets been respectable? But thefcc ques
tions were so well met by Mr. Dean in your last
issue, that it is useless for me to say any more
about them. However, it was apparent hy the
proceedings of the last County meeting, that a
very respectuble number of Democrats favored a
change of the mode of nominating candidates for
the Legislature, etc., and it is very proper that
the sense of the people should be taken on the
subject ; if they elect, or instruct their delegates
to the County Convention to make such ebunge,
it of course should be made; due provision be
ing made, at the same time, for the appointment
of Judges to hold such nominating elections ; for
the certifying of returns, and for the determina
tion of contested nominations. The Convention
should then adjourn, and let the ticket be made
under the new rules, when, although many
Democrats might disapprove, yet none would re
bel. Provision, also, should be made for future
changes of the rules; for if the County Conven
tions are abolished where will be the authority
to change the rules ?
Persons not acquainted with the politics of this
county, might wonder that a man who is such a
stickler for the rights of the majority, as Mr.
Townsend is, would openly threaten to defeat
the ticket nominated by the regularly ascertained
majority, because the party would not depart
from its rules, at his bidding ; or, that the man
who makes such threats could have any stand
ing in the party ; but the Democrats of this
couuty know tbut Mr. T. means no harm, and
that this old bug-a-boo of an Independent White
Man s Democratic Party is as gentle as a sucking
dove, and " has not enough blood in his liver to
clog the foot of a flea."
Mr. Editor. In your invitation to the discus
sion of this question of nominations, you reques
ted your correspondents not to be personal, but
as Mr. T. in his communication, in a manner,
"put himself upon his country,'' I am compell
this article to trench upon matters personal
to him, but I hope without offene

The Democratic party, under both modes of
nominating, have generally had respectable
tickets, and I would suggest that the ticket
itself is of more importance than the mode of
nominating it. In the one way the nominations
are under the control of the people of the County,
in the other, under the coutrol of the people of
the several Hundreds. In either case, this year ,
the people should be careful who they noroiuate
to represent them at Dover. The term of U. S.

would be a great gratification to the Democrats
of the whole country, for Mr. Bayard's course in
the Senate, in his earnest, sincere advocacy of
all that is just, honest and pure, and his search
ing and unsparing condemnation of all wrong
and corruption have made him strong in the af
fections of all people who hope for a pure and
free government. Notwithstanding which, there
are jealous men, ambitious men, in this State,
who would use any means, not openly, but by
dark ways, to defeat the reelection of Mr. Bay
