The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad Company sells its product Of Scranton
coal every month at auction to the highest bid
der At its sales, the consumer, the retail
dealer, the wholesale dealer, all mingle anu

and Hudson Canal Company disposes of it's
Lackawanna coal to contractors at fixed price,
made monthly, and commission to wholesale
coal dealers or middlemeD, as they are termed,
is granted on their sales. The Wilkesbarre
Coal and Iron Company arranges its prices for
WilkeBbarre coal monthly, at which all may
come and buy, but protects the wholesale deal

Dur Copsr, s.iouni and Electoral Ticket.

Our Corgrt ssional and Electoral Ticket.
The Republican citizens of Delaware, in con-
yention, yesterday, at Georgetown, placed in
nomination for Congress James r. Lofland, OF
Milford; for Presidential Electors, Benjamin
Bootb. of New Castle DIR. VIM. T. Collins, OF
Kent and David W. Moore, of Sussex. Mr.
I.ofland was nominated upon the second ballot
bya vote of 81 Levi @. Bird, ESQ, of this city
receiving 40 votes, and Hon. John W. Houston
of Dover, 81 votes.
Upon the announcement of the result the
nomination was made unanimous amid great
enthusiasm. At mass meeting in the evening
the nominee made ringing speech, accepting
the nomination rendered, and was received with
the widest demonstrations of applause.
Thus our Congressional and Electoral ticket is
made and il now remains for Republicans to
70 to work and organize for victory at the polls
in November. Mr. Lohand has hundreds of ar
dent friends, in each county who are determined
to use every honorable effort to win in the pres
ent campaign Nor are these friends confined
to our own party organization large section
of the Democratic party in both Of the lower
counties and also in New Castles are tired of the
Salisbury rule, and will come over in great mum
bers to the support of the Republican candidate
and help to elevate him to seat in Congress
Our opponents in this contest are at great dis
advantage. Their rallying cry heretofore has
been 'nigger, nigger," which availed to unite
them and retain within the party lines hundreds
who otherwise would have stood in opposition
in this campaign, that cry will avail them moth
ing. On the question of supporting Horace
tireeley, their lifelong enemy, who has been
by the Baltimore tricksters, thrust upon the
party as it's Presidential candidate, our oppo
nents are fearfully demorali2ed, in consequence
of which hundreds OF the rank and file will eithe
vote the Republican ticket or stay away from
the polls.
Let the Republican citizens OF Delaware, there
fore, one and all, seeing the terrible breal
in the ranks OF their old enemies, advanc
upon them in solid column. Let there be N
break in our own battle lines, but let US show
united and unwavering front, and we shall marc
forward to a splendid and complete victory thi
fall
Grant and Wilson will receive the three cleo
oral votes OF Delaware, and il we but do OF
whole duty, and stand faithfully by our gur
through the conflict now fairly entered upor
James II. Lohand will represent Delaware
the 43nd Congress.

The Smyrna Intetligencer says
One day last week an elderly farmer who has
resided forty-five years in this county, and has
been from home but once before in all those
years, was on the steamer Pilot Boy. His as
tonishment at beholding the shores of New Jer-
sey which he had supposed wilderness, show
ing every evidence of being occupied by nu-
merous population, enjoying all the advantages
of civilization, was most amusing. When the
boat neared Philadelphia. and the old man saw
the beautiful city, his delight was 20 great that
he appeared pcarcely able to restrain himself
from dancing about the deck. He returned
home convinced that the world is success.
