Democratic Triumph in Wilmington.

The Journal of Tuesday brings US the news of the
complete success of the Democrats in: Wilmington
in an election held nMonday for five commissioners
of navigation. The Journal says:
The ELECTION YEsrERDAr.-Tbe election for Com
mssioners of Navigation held here yesterday passed
off very quietly and resulted as follows: - -
DEMOCRATIC. KNOW NOTHING
G. W. Davis, AS r. W. Brown, 24e
p. W. Tanning, 400 r. c. Worth. 25s
r. G. Rankin, 437 | Geo Harriss 2e2
III. NJ Curtis Alb j. H. Flanper. I60
Daniel NJ Foyles, 415 B. W. Beery, 256
We do not intend to offer any long remarks and
none such needed. The result speaks for itself
and is so satisfactory that Democrats can afford to
avoid anything like exultation over the defeated
fellow citize"s, and all afford to take the thing
easy since it is decidedly way as to leave no
ground for squabbline over it. The average Demo-
cratic majority is 165 majority altogether too
large to be accounted for by the absence of any few
voters. We never doubted but that, if the Demo-
Gratis kept trying. they would eventually carry the
day. and the result shows it. We look upon it as
no mere triumph of men, for in everything but poll.
tics we would much rather triumph with. than over,
the gentlemen the opposition ticket The tri.
umph IS purely triumph of principle 80
