The Wings in Wilmington have yindicaed their
character as sons of Delaware and deserve the
applause of their political brethren throughout the
country, by the victory they so gallantly won in
their municipal election on Tuesday. Wilmington
has been heretofore deemed Locofoco city, and
has been pretty uniformly obliged to endure the
weight and Encouragement of Locofoco rule. This
is the first time the election Of Mayor and city AL
dermen has been directly referred to popular vote.
The result is both striking and delightful, and it
will prove in every way beneficial to Wilmington.
The triumph is complete, every Wing candidate on
the general ticket being elected by large majority
