The Commercial and Delaware Tribune
Friendly Words From Milford.
Our cotemporary, the Milford Nelos and ADDER
iiser in its issue of this week. has the following
friendly notice:
We have among our Peninsular exchanges
many that we would not willingly be without
and we mean no disparagement to other papers
when we say of the Wilmington Daily CONNER
ctdL and the DeldlDdre Tribune, that they are pc
culiarly welcome to our table, Aside from their
enterprise in the way of thorough news sum-
mary, both general and local, there is in the ed
itorial management spirit Of earnest ndepend-
ence which we admire. Newspapers are of little
account as agents for good, unless they are un-
der the controls of those who possess sufficient
brains to do their own thinking, and who have
too much Independence of spirit to be made the
automatons of any man or Ring. We can pay
the papers in question no higher compliment
than to say that they fill the bill in this partcu-
lar. We are glad to know that they are appreci-
ated by the people, and can cordially recommend
the Republicans Of the State to continue and
Increase the generous support thus far extend
ded to the Commercial and Tribune.

1t is matter Of deep regret that so small an
audience greeted the temperance in this city

warmer welcome than was extended them, last

most skilful and artistic, and elected frequent
