| 'EDtToRs OF THE AGE :---In the papers
| Of to-day, / read the Associated Press ac-
count Of our municipal election yesterday,
which is false in every particular. The
publication of this falsehood issnot only.
| calculated to detract from themoral char
| acter of the citizens of Wilmington, but
| induce the people Of other States to be-
| lieve that Delaware o Is swerving from her
ancient land marks, and refusing to sustain
the restoration policy Of President john
son, Inow give YOU the facts. In 1864,
| Maris (Republican) was elected Mayor
I over Aiken X Democrat) by 40 majority. In
| 1865 Maris iEiepgblican) beat Young, DEM
loerat, 495; and Talley, Republican, for City
Treasurer, beat Chandler (Denocrat) 43l
votes. At the election. Yesterday, ValenLi
tine (Republicanl beat Finnegan (Demo-
craft 229 votes; Preston Republican) beat
Cochran Democrat 1853 votes. This may
be assumed as a fair average of the ward
tickets, and shows that the Republican cam
didate for Mayorhas 2GG less majority than
| in 1865, while the Republican candidate for
| City Treasurer has 2GS less majority. -i.'
"There now can be no doubt that Will
mington is a Democratic city, and will so
vote in November next, provided anything
like justice bedope at the polls. The Demo-
cratic National Union party will sweep the
State against all the combinations which
tue Republicans and negro-suflraSe voters
4 can make. DELAWARE
This is what the Press calls ''sweeping,r
and the Bulletin desighates increased ma
4 iorities.'' NOW, the next time a story is to
\ be fabricated for political effect, don't do it
Il so near home. ID. ".''''IIil .Al
