COMING DOWN.


On Tuesday the Commercial said in substance
the candidate for Governor that was nominated
from New Castle county would get from two to
three hundred more votes in consequence of his
residence in this county, so great is the desire of
people here to have Governor choscn from this
section. We referred to this statement of our
neighbor, and believing that it had good cause TO
know that such Was the case by hearing Its Re
publican friends say as much, We concluded that
many other gentlemen of that party knew as
many as the editor, and that therefore the Repub-
licans had made up their minds to Jump the
fence in great numbers rather than be forced by
the City Ring to vote for the candidate from
Kent. This being the caso we inferred that there
was great detection in the Radical party, and
since large number declare they will not vote
with party that propose to force the negro into
the public schools, hotels, churches and cemeter-
les, there was strong probability that the Dem
ocrats would carry the county by from one 10
two hundred majority. To this very reasonable
conclusion the Commercial, of Saturday replies as
follows:
"The Ga=ene incubated, for three days, on on
article IN tuesdays Commercial and finally
hatcbed out, yesterday, the amazing conclusion
have from one hundred TO two hundred ajorty
in New Castle countyl" This is a wonderful no
tion, and the Gazette will have to be responsible
for IT, Tor we said nothing Of the sort, and believe
on the contrary that the Republican ticket will
carry this county by decisive majority"
1t will be seen from the above that the Com
n'erctai does not deny that it said its party would
lose from two to three hundred votes if the DEM
ocratic candidate came from New Castle county
and the Republican candidate from Kent, that is
really the purport of its words, although not the
precise quotation but it charges the GAzKTTE
with having stated that the Commercial said the
Democratic candidate for Governor would have
from zone hundred to two hundred majorily."
1t then denies that it said anything OF the sort.
Now, the GAZETTE never charged it with saying
1.-The Democratic candidate Tor Governor will have
from one to two hundred majority in New Castle
county" And the Commercial commits gross
Misrepresentation in its assertion. But 1t does
not DO this without an object 1t no doubt desir-
ed to show the Ring that it adhered 10 its former
assertion that from two TO three hundred Repub-
licans that the editor knew would bolt and 20 ior
the Democratic nominee if the candidate came
from New Castle county and Jump was the King
nominee.
But we desire especially to cali attention to the
change in the tone OF the Commercial since the
elections in New Hampshire and Connecticut 1t
now says it believes "the Republican ticket will
carry this county by decisive majority" Well,
decisive majority may be one; three is better.
But one will do. Now, here is a come down that
almost warrants US in predicting the certain sue
cess OF the Democrats whether the circumstances
connected with the remarks above tran spre or not

Wilmington Fountain Society.


The FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT or THE MAN
Ayers.
Since our last annual meeting in March
1873, the membership OF the Society, with
but one or two EXCEPTIONS, has been The
same AS formerly. We refer, with feeling
OF iuss, to the sudden deaths OF two of0ur
Honorary members, Sarah Shiplcy and
Samuel Hilles. during the year.
a supplement To our Charter was passed
by the Legislature at Dover, on the 1st Of
Aprii, 1873, which by the alterations of a
few words IN the original Charter. made the
workings of tho Society, through lis Board
OF Managers, more easy as well rs more ei
ficlent.
The BY Laws of the Society wore also re-
vised; aud are now about To bs printed,
with tho Charter, and a bIief history OF the
Society from it's beginning. Tor the benolit
OF the members and their friends, and for
more general circulation amongst the pub
lie.
On the 5lh of May, 1873. the fountains
were opened to the public. The completion
OF the memorial fountain was delayed tor
some time, IN consequence of the city au-
tborities improving Pennsylvania avenue;
but since that lime, everything. except the
cattle trough, has been completed to the
satisfaction OF the Board, and the water has
been running TO The great comfort of the
hu man family.

Herewith, on new plan, not so subject to
injury as others, was erected by the Society
through funds, supplied in a great measure,

usefulness and popular favor. They have
been unusually exempt this season from
accidents, none having occurred 10 iDlure

In conclusion, we would stale, that fopn-
tains have been erected at allIhe import
ant points Ia the city; the only desirable
place remaining, being IN the Ninth Ward,
and owing TO the fact that the water has moi
yet been introduced into that part Of the
city, nothing can be done al present.

How THE REPUBLICANS CARRIED ELKToN
Many persons were surprised, last week. at
the announcement that the Elklon town cleo
ton had been carried by The Republicans, The
following from the CecA Why Qiep. ),explains
che matter:
The election, it was agreed, sh ould be a no
party affair and the political lions and lambs
were to lie down together in peace and quiet
and the art of war was to be studied no mort
and with this magnanimous purpose in view
democrats and Republicans were lovingly
sandWlched on the several tickets, and ali
went merry as marriage belle, or to spealz
less POLITICALLY, as fraternal as an old husking
bee. pair of wags, however, must needs
spoil this happy family arrangement, and thew
have selected all the Republican names from
the several tickets and combined Them on one
ticket for which they made quiet canvass,
when the ballots were counted out four Re-
publicans were elected and only two Demo
Gratis and one of each party tied. When it
was discovered how these wags had played off
some of the boys who had been scId made
use OF e1presss0"s as the Danbury man saws.
but the affair was laughed at by the majority
as clever joke. The candidates Oh all tickets
were good men, and the Corporation was sure
OF fair board in any event.

In accordance with your request of this

From April % to May S-15 days-we shipped

ernment supplied 162,0 900 of breadstuffs and

from private contributions We have been
far from supplying the demands on us. We
estimate from the best information we can
gather, the number OF sufferers in Louisiana
