VERY FAINT PRAISE
THE REPUBLICAN STATE TIoKET.


The candidate for Governor is n prom uenl
citizen oil Kent county, who has many warm per
sonal friends throughout the State. lie a well
informed concerning the various questions affect
Ing the interestsof his fellow citizens, end hes
always taken an active part in public oifa';
Hon, james r. Lotand, who was rc-nomnated
for Representative in Congress, is b t known to
the people of the State by his SEA .ce already
rendered in that body, having occupied a place
during the long session which opened in Decem-
Der and closed in June. He has attended to the
duties of his place, and has been steady adher-
ent of his party"
Mr.. Lofand's re nomination seems 10 have fill
ed all the stops OF the Organ and put it terribly
out OF tune. Its readers will be deeply indebted
to 1t for tue information given in the paragraphs
above. Some Of them may not have known that
MIR. Lofand occupied place" in Congress dur
ing the long session which opened in December
aud closed in June" That "Le has ATTENDED TO
the duties of his place" is extremely doubtful,
and the remark is altogether gratuitous OH the
part of our neighbor. 1t was the duty OF Major
LoAand to bring before Congress the great iacli
ties Wilmington has for building iron steamers,
and the immense advantages it has over League
Island and all other places on The Delaware for a
great naval staten Had he given these matters
such attention as could have been bestowed upon
them, our Workmen might nave Decn employed
In building soue OF the great steamers that are
building elsewhere, and the appropriation for
improving the Christana increased to $4,000 in-
stead of six. In fact Congress was not requested
to look at our harbor or any part of the Delaware
that washes the shores Of cur State. While the
Pennsy vania delegation was laborng with might
and main for the interests OF her people Della
ware and Wilmington, which occupy the most
favored positions, were entirely neglected by Mr..
Lofland; who was too busy looking after negro
voters receipts, with which no hoped to Secure
his own denomination, TO give the interests of
the workingmen and the ship builders a single
half hour in the House. Whereas a gentleman
OF tue proper ability could have made at least
one speech month in either of which he could
have showed that Delaware was i'll fact the CLYDE
OF America; and IN proof he conld have pointed
to the inuumerable vessels that are now being
erected on all the little streams from the Brandy
wine to the Breakwater making into our magnifi-
cent river What our woikingmen and mechanics
have lost by Mr.. Lofand's non-attendance ITO
the duties of his place" no man can tell. Just al
this time, when go many men need work and our
city and State is langushing in consequence, it
is truly mournful TO reflect upon this matter.

skrmishing. If the Spaniard would only sub

A few days ago u reporter attended n
base ball match in Oakland, n city sane
tifed BY the triumphs Of the local OPP
tionists. just before the game began he
noticed a voS.ily-looking man with q
package under his arm walking of in the
direction Of high board fence. Now
long experience in base ball matches in
duced the seporter TO keep his eye on
this prUc.eding. Pretty soon the man
was lost to view, but he soon hove in
sight again with the innocent package.
In n few minutes the reporter took a
stroll down in that direction, and made
careful investigation OF the prul.l'cs.
In little covered spot nestled bottle
Of old Bourbon. bowl Of sugar. some
lines and a small glass. Sitting down
ON the grass the reporter familiarized
himself with the "lay-out" and then
came back TO watch the game. After
while he ran against the man who owned

sloErLY after Mr.. Zeicler joined the
Improved Order Of Red Men. he visited
a circus and menagerio which tarried IN
New Castle for few days, and he was
much pleased to find among the curios-
tiles a Chief Of the Kickapoo Indians,
who was attached 10 the show. and who
moved about among the people with all
his feathers and war paint ON. Zeigler
determined TO use his familiarity with
tac secrets OF the Red Men for the pur-
pose Of getting acquainted with this
particular savage. 80 he approached the
Chief and gave him fifteen different
grips in rapid succession. besides whis-
pcring all the pass worls and winking
furiously at the noble aborigine. The
chieftain, atfirst. seemed somewhat sur
prised; but just as Mr., Zeigler was Civ
ing him the fifteenth grip. and was in
