Nomination for Governor.

nomination for Governor.
Mr.. EDIToR:-A gentleman writes In your
paper, yesterday. on the Democratic nomI-
nations; but his chief object seems to be 10
got his choice for Governor. His first OBJ
lection Is against the Governor coming from
New Castle county To accomplish his design
he takes Mr.. Lore, from New Castle Co. for
Representative in Congress- and proposes
to re-elect Mr.. T. b. Bayard to the Senate.
10 these gentlemen we have no possible
opposition and their nomination and cleo.
lion Will have our highest approval. Now
first to Ie elect Mr. Bayard to the Senate,
we should elect our leg gislative ticket from
New Castle. TO elect our legislature we
must have our most available men for can
diiates, and from the most available posi-.
tions. Now, in order to this, as it Is admit
tod, the nomination of our Governor belongs
To New castle county. Cities, il Is acknowi-
edged. are centres OF power and influence,
and there fore,fron Wilmington under pre-
sent circumstances, our nomination should
come, and from oil that we have seen ana
heard aud read, Mr.. VIM. Bright ought to
be the coming man. 1t cannot be objected to
| because the men named are from here. In
| the first place Mr.. Bayard is not TO be count.
ed In, his nomination and election does not
| take place ill after The election of these
others, and cannot 10 Till the election OF
these; and then Mr.. Bayard is not a Repre-
| sentative OF the county but the State. And
| then as TO any objection from keut ss 10
| Representative and Governor being from
| here. Does not Democrat remember that
Dr.Saulsbury and Mr.. Nicholson were from
| Kent and both lived in Doveir We have
our potent 3asOns for these nominations.
| Mr.. Bright aud Mr.. Lore are popular men.
and eau greatly influence votes here and
elsewhere. Wilmington Is the stronghold
| of fRepublicanisn, and although the W bite
Democratic voters have maintained their
equality with the Republicans, yet the Re-
publicans have been pouring in their negro
votes into this city and gathering their re
cruits from Maryland and lower Delaware
| as il 1t were y paradise to negroes 10 live in
lidIeness, get their children educated tor
i nothing aud vote away white meL's rights
Il Now to neutralize this we want both our
Governor and Representative from New
Castle county, and we haye only to review
the ground and need not say who shall be
, the candidates. Sussex hss had its turn.
Kent has had its turn. Now let New Castle
: and Wilmington have their turn aid We
will give the Democrats the Governor, Re-
a presentive, County officers, Sheriff, Coro
, Der, Levy court, legislature, Senator, and
4 secure the whole Stale from the least yes
. uge OF negro rule. Let us discuss this in the
spirit OF fairness, and take care that we dc
n not speak lightly OF such men, rs Andrew
u c. Gray, Esq, John T. Cochran, Esq. Jas
II. Ray Esq, and A. o. Newton, ESQ, al
. good and true, and bring no axe to grind
but be actuaIed by The highest and m os
Y honorable lives, and then shall we secure
the good OF the best policy, and be fire.,
II from negro officers. negro juries, negro tax
atoms, and Keep our best lights burning IL
d the capitol OF the United States, and tn,
a whole State shall be all aglow with thu
o principles of the Democratic party and this
be the first gun fired In the redemption Q
our beloved country. UNION.
