Mr.. Fair Play" in his letter in Tuesdays
COMMERCIAL stated that on Saturday last the
Tammany's had five of the Atlantcs, on their
nine, when PLAYING the Pastime Club. That is
not so. Very likely, Fair Play witnessed the
game played here between the Quick-steps and

niDe was made up Of Tammany boys. and
Fair Play having seen them on the Atlantic

IJiioans Of Wilmington :

Fo HE Republicans Of Wilmington
In the election of yesterday, our candidate for
Mayor was defeated, NOT by our political oppo-
nents, but by apathy in our own party, arising
from circumstances Of purely local character,
that can have no bearing on the great national
issues now before the people.
our opponents will naturally try to make this
election subservient to their purposes in the ap-
proaching national contest, but, BE not deceiced
tle Republican heart Of the country is sound to
10 core, and still throbs with gratitude to the
brave leader who preserved tho Union, re estab-
li,hed the authority of the government, and in
snired the people with confidence which
secured the peaceful resumption Of their indus
trial pursuits.
In wilmington, we have for the coming year,
Republican City Council, with our former ma
iority, and in the election of Councilmen aud
Inspectors, yesterday, our average majority was
about two hundred. But, there was largo re-
serve vote unpolled, devoted, now as ever, to
the principles of the Republican Party, and re-
solved to aid in maintaining them. The ranks of
olr organization Wilmington are unbroken, and
daily receiving accessions. Our majority will be
Increased by hundreds, in November.
On every side. the example of our brethren in
other States inspires us to fresh exertion. Yer
mont-the star that never sets-has sweled her
Republican majority from twenty-one thousand
to twenty-four tn ousand. Every days develop
menta deepen the convection that it is the de-
termination of the American people to elect
Grant and Wilson on the fifth day of next No.
yember, by the greatest majority ever recorded
in the history of the nation.
