Colonel Thomas, prominent merchan: Of this
city. when asked to-day what the position Of John
c. Breckinridge might be on the nomination of

After Greeley's nomination, Mr.. Breckinrid2e
WAS asked il he could afford to support him.
BreckinrldRe replied that he thought he could

mail one morning. and found therein letter. IN
difficult chirography, which required some time to
interpret it. 1t proved to be letter from II Gree.

Greeley said TO Mr. Breckinridgc that he was
aware that the latter parsonage in the South had

He spent an hour with Greeley and was profoundly

a Great Fraud con.cm plated.

InK NAMES OF THE COLLECTORS LITHoaRAPHED
AND PRINTED.
We have it on good authority that the Radicals
of this city have been preparing to perpetrate the
most extensive frauds at the elections this fall that
was ever known in this city. In fact no moral
upright or conscientious citizen could have dream
I'd that such an outrage upon the rights of voters
would lie attempted in city regarded SO general
~ az being free from the rough and rowdy ee-
Iaent which Is known to exist in Philadelphia and
New York. But it seems that within the last lew
years Wilmington has been afflicted with the
presence Of a few corrupt. irresponsible and un-
prncipIed men, VINO have determined to practice
here all the frauds that said to be pcrpetrated
IN the larger cities.
1t is known that two years ago Radical roushs
and black-legs were imported from Philadelphia
to vote and repeat their votes at the wards in this
'y' and to invade the country districts where the
Democrats were known to be in the majority and
break up the ballot boxes. 1t is also known that
ballot boxes have been stuffed; and that receipts
have been forged and circulated But il is not
generally known that the name of one of our col
iectors has actually been hNographed in Phia-
'<tph.d and printed to receipts to be voted on i'll
Polls in the several Hundreds
We have this from reliable source, and we
charge our friends to be watchful. and by q care
fui examination they may detect and reject any
receipts OF this description. The perpetrators of
this great fraud upon the State and upon the vo-
ters, We hope will be terrified out and punished as
they dssssve to be.
But az this fraud has been gotten up ior VIII
1nington Hundred. there Is no reason why they
sAould not attempt to do the same thing with tn,
aAmss Of collectors in other Hundreds and cucu-
late the receipts among the poor negroes who are
unable to detect the fraud. and too ignorant TO
3no~ tho consequences Of voting upon. or at
tempting to vote upon, such receipts Ii such
fraud can be practised in Wilmington, there i. no
reason why 1t cannot be practised in every county
and IN every Hundred in the State; and it be-
hoovss our friends to be watchful and see that !,
- not eonsu,natsd and that any persons attempt
ing 1t are arrested and punished.

Since the death of Juarez the

Since the death of Juarez the
Mexican revolution has seemingly
subsidized. The country, according
to the late accounts. is being practi-
cally pacified, and civil rule has
taken the place of military disci-
pline. This unfortunate country for
the past fifty years has been one con-
tinual scene of disorder, and as a
consequence the people have made
scarcely any advancement since they
threw off the yoke of Spain. When
the country started OH its independ-
ent career a most prosperous state
was predicted. Rich minds abound
ed. There was a prolific soil, and
nature on all sides was lavish of her
favors. The people, however, were
not equal to the occasion, they had
no energy, manhood or moral SIAM
ina. During the revolution they
must have learned some severe les
sons and experiences, lessons which
have cost them dearly, but 1t Is to
be hoped that if there is Jas there
appears to be- any chance of settling
down quietly and trying at least to
raise their country from its present
position, the Mexican people will
embrace that claDce.

The latest advices froM the North
Carolina election. show, without a
doubt. that the result IS in favor OF
the Democrats and Liberal Repup'
Iicans by at least 2,OOo majority.
Five Congressman out OF eight is
pretty good, and a majority IN the
legislature, thus securing a United
States Senator. We claim that the
result in North Carolina is a de-
cided victory, and full OF "slgnlh'
canee." Even though Merrlman
sbould be defeated for Governor,
the gain is very material, and Will
serve to set all reasonable men to
think, reaaand' act, and no 1ears
need be entertained of their Verdlc'

CHARGE OF INCONSISTENCY.

The administration organs charge
that Greeley is e%rratic and has been
inconsistent in his political ideas.
This is about the worst thing they
car say against him, and it amounts
to Just nothing at all. 1t is not
charged that he has eve violated a
pledge; but on the contrary his rep
utation for truth, honesty, and 10y
atty to his promises stands unlm-
peached and unimpeachable. We
challenge the administration organs
to point out a single instance IN
which he has broken a pledge or
failed to redeem a promise. The
Cincinnati platform is a concise and
unequivocal statement of the primer
pies and policy he will carry into
the administration of the Govern
ment should he be elected. and he is
pledged to if over his hand and seal.
The Manchester n. H. Democrat
saws: The truth is, Mr.. Greeley's
whole life has been as nearly fault
less S mortals can obtain, in its per-
sonal aspects. The worst that has
ever been said of him is. that he is
cratic and unsafe. Exactly the con-
trarv is true, unless erraticism con-
sists in differing with less thoughtful
men upon measures Of public policy.
Mr.. Greeley opposed the nomination
of General Taylor in 1913, but finally
supported the ticket. So did
Daniel Webster. If one is erratic,
so was the other. Mr.. Greeley OPP.

right OF wrong. We like the pluci
which dares to assert convictions a

of inconsistency is based upon thu
fact that Mr.. Greeley demanded
vigorous prosecution of the war, ant
as soon as it was ended demanded
general amnesty and reconciliation
There was no inconsistency IN this
: He was the enemy of the South l
! war, in peace its friend; and in bot
instances was actuated by patriotism
HE is an earnest man, who throw
his whole heart into every enterprls
in which he is engaged. During tn
war he properly demanded its vlSol

might be speedily terminated an

Secretary Delano,s Mission to Cuba.

1t is stated by his personal friends that
on Wednesday next Secretary Delano will
leave for Cuba, ostensibly for his health,
but really to look after political matters on
that island, and see if something can not
be done to arrest the civil war now in pro-
gress there. 1t is also further stated that
his visit will be made at the particular re-
quest of the President, who is represented
as being very DESTROYS of bringing about
peace between Spain and the revolutiona-
ry Cubans.- Wash. Cor. Cincinnati Com
mercidi.
Another story of his proposed visit is as
follows:
Secretary Delano is to visit Cuba upon
the direction of his physician, and not of
his own notion or inclination. He has
been confined to his house much of the
time for the last month. His visit to Cuba
has no political significance whatever.
He expects to be absent month.
