WILMINGTON, August %. The Re-
publicans are becoming alarmed lest
a negro should be elected mayor of
this city. The Southern whites are
denounced because they did not re-
gister. Northern men who are con-
servative begin to see that without
their cooperation with Southern
party of moderate views, the State
must be given up to negro domina-
ton. Prominent Northern men here
admit that the whites must now
yield to negro suffrage; but that the
uegro race, like the Indian, must
give place to the superior intelligence
of the white man. The intelligent
radicals here do not pretend to insist
that the blacks ought to be invested
with the rights that are now accorded
them by the dominant party.
