acknowledgements. va ~ -
AIhe crowd, which was constantly increasing,
started for ths Tesldbncc of William Green Repnb.
llcan Councilman or the Third Ward, another cap
Vufed stronghold OF Democracy. Some iocular le-
marks were made by the crowd while passing
tnEongh the First and Third Wards, to the effect
that these were strange grOunds for Republican
ssrenadlng parties. Mr. Green being introduced
/ made few appropriate remarks, thanking tie
Third Ward Republicans and tho Democrats Who
yote9 for him for their generous support and con
ndence' and promiting to do the best of his abili-
n.y.. f-l ~ -

OF IL. +. Hlckels, but while near Fifth aud Wash
ngton streets it Wab still further increased by the
Independent Cornet BaLd and large delegation
ot eltzehs, and when the residence Of Mr.. Pekels
va reached, the procession mustlhave numbered
several thousand. The appearance of Mr. Pickles
In trout OF his residence was ths signal for repeat
| ed cheers.
After being introduced, he thanked first the Re.
| pubiCans who had stood by him in his trying hour
and secondly to the lndipendent Democrats of the
! kIhh Ward who could not BE- sold out by their
party leaders, but who between two Republicans,
they had voted for The man Of their choice. He
had no unkind words or feelings for those Repub-
licano who had seen proper TO vote against him,
but It IN the next chmpaign when we are sure to
wrest the State OF Delaware from the grasp OF the
Democratic party, they will oq;y labor y well aud
spend their money rs freely "a elsCt thS Republi.
can ticket, as they did to defeat him, he would
i freely forgive them. .....-...4 ... .,.....
The procession next visited the residence of
Joshua Maris, Esq, President of the City Council
-teift1 qserugoYcseG, grsslVi ths aPPearanes
oil he minis akatRst whom the Lin uor Dealers
Union had leveed their shafts, and who had Just
peep re-elected by Nhe unprecedented majority OF
N S1o MIR; Maris Ha1ked Z his fellow citizens Tor
their coIdials upPOEt In this instance and for the
marks OF esteem aud confidence he had received
at their hands,
In reply to the opposition Of a certain class Of
citizens who had opposed him, he said they were
mistaken, as he never made any positive pledge TO
vote Tor or against any particular bill before the
LegislatnFe.s lie was net giN the habit Of doing
such thugs, but believed Legislator should be
left free and untTanmelled. .,
The residence 0f John P. McLear, of the
SeVsnth Ward WhSnext visited, and that gen
tleman gr.tuly ted hie fellow Republicans
on the splendid Victory thatthey had aehteV-
led. 1t was no great credit for q Republican
to be elected in thB Seventh Ward, for that
ward always elects its candidates, no matter
who they are, BY large mAjOritieS. He had
, NO pledges to make, but hoped his action In
Council would be such as to meet the conf
dence OF the people. t.....'
The residence Of Joseph r. Phillips, the
shortterm councilman elect from the Seventh
i Ward, was next visited and the cOngratula-
! tiOns of that gentleman received for the great
! Republican victory Just gained.
\ Nfhe next objective point was the residence
Il 0p Francis Vincent, City Treasurer elect
That gentleman was IN the best OF humOr at
, the great majority he had received in spite OF
the opposition Of several Republicans, and
lspme OF the daily papers. Captain Gallagher
introduced Mr.. Vincent, who was standing De-
side Captain kDlROre, the present Treasures,
} Icalling thes pair q tableaux. Mr, Vincent re-
/ SpOnaed to the alhlsiOn, remGTklng that here
4 was the present City Treasurer, and the CITY
the other body; and he hoped that though the
aIlnstructions OF the present incumbent, he might
be able after awhile, 10 count up two and two
and say 1t made four. Hethanked his friends
for their generous support and believed the
J victory OF to-day was the precursor Of the
year, when the Republicans will elect their
GOVernOr and Legislature, wipe out the bad
laws OF our state, and give poor man 9
9 chance to learn bookkeeping. (Cries Of good.
