las Tinicum Goes, so Goes the
State"

Mr.. EDITOR In years gone by, when the cor
ruptions of the present day were unknown, and
when the principles and declarations of the prea I
John Tyler were the received opinions of the
day-ihat the honest politician knew no change
then it was that the complexion of the vote of
the little island of Tinicum, just below Philade-
phia, which never gave more than five votes at
that time, was looked upon as the key to The re-
turns ofthe vote of the State. Hence it was that
the returns from Tinicum were considered as
indicating sure success for the party obtaining
it. Gas Tinicum goes, SO goes the Staie'
Now, my dear sir, Politics and Agriculture
travel Il little in the same ruts, sufficiently at
least for my purpose on this occasion to draw a
simile between the above caption and the pros
poets of the wheat crop Of the present season,
shall select for my comparison the great wheat
growing district lying adjacent to the head wa
ters Of Drawers creek in st. Georges Hundred
known as the Paoli and Muddy Branch district
As that district goes so goes the State The
reports from that section are very unsatisfactory
in regard to the crop, the falling off being from
one fourth 10 one third the anticipated Weld,
from the great growth of straw. Our own little
State is not alone in the matter. The great pro-
ducing States of Maryland and Virginia send up
their complaints daily of short crops and disap-
pointment. Yet, though the yield is very short,
no complaints heard Of the quality Just
here let me advise my brother farmers 10 adopt
for their motto the words 'hold on'' as the best
and surest plan to obtain better prices Turn a
deaf ear to the miserable slang, daily put forth
by the hired press and penny liners of the
country in regard TO the millions of surplus
bushels in the West. They are no better off than
ourselves, and when you are told wheat must
rule low, yonr best reply will be that "Paoli
and Muddy Branch has been heard from, as they
go, SO goes the State WHEAT GROWER.

The TLroN -BEEcuER ScANDAL.-The long prom
ised, and much talked Of, statement of Theo
Tilton of his charges and accusations against
Henry Ward Beecher has at last been made pub
lie. As we have steadily refused to give space
in eur columns to this scandalous and disgust
ing affair, we will not burden them with the la
bored statement of Tilton. If his charges against
Beecher are true, as we have no doubt they are,
the fact, MS shown by his statement, that Tilton
rested SO quietly under the wrong for so long
time proves how completely lost to all decency,
and how utterly low and debased the man must
be. Had such foul crime been committed
against man OF any self respect or who had the
least shadow of manliness about him, Henry
Ward Beecher would long ago have been sent
ito his own place" The miserable attempts
made by Beecher's adherents to gloss over the
affair and disproye it by the assertion that Tilton
is insane, in the face of so connected and con-
vincing a statement, will have but little weight.
1t is no matter of surprise 10 us to see such
charges made against Henry Ward Beecber, for
We have never had any confidence in him.
The mans character is so notorious and his
conduct, in many respects, SO at variance with
his profession that no apprehension need be felt
by the friends of the church of any disgrace to 1t
through Beecher's "fall.'

on one occasion in appoqninimink Hundred
one hundred and thirty-fve men met in Hundred
meeting and voted for a candidate for legislature
when one of the persons voted for got l34 votes
out of 30 voted yet he say another meeting elect
ed i've delegates to county convention and nomi-
mated another person. Docs it prove that be-
cause one man at an irregular Hundred meeting,
called not in accordance with the rules covering
the Democratic party, got l34 votes out Of about
500 Democratic votes, which believe from recol-
lection 10 about the number of Democratic votes
in AppoqnDimink Hundred, that such a man
represents the views of the party of the Hum
dred? l ihiuk not, and IL !. Just such case as
this wher i the Delegate system his its superb
oiity over the direct ballot. Suppose the meet
ing referred 10, had been regularly called, and
there had been as there frequently are, half a
dozen candidates ofabout equal popularity each
one might have had frem 20 to rs votes and yet
il the one receiving the 25 votes had the highest
number cast for one man, he would be the can
dictate that would be forced upon the Democratic
party of New Castle; no matter how unworthy
or how little qualified be might be TO gil the Of
flee, circumstance which is not likely soon to
happen If the candidates are nominated by a
County Convention of So delegates selected
from each Hundred throughout the county for
the particular purpose. In regard to what he
says about those persons who take drink will
say that do not expect ever to come out for any
Office unless it is considered by the Democratic
party 10 be to their interest TO take me up; then
under such circumstances the man who through
personal spleen refuses to vote for me, as one of
the nominees Of the Democratic party, does me
no personal injury but does hurt the party to
which he processes to belong. In my first letter
! refrained from any thing of personal character
and should have continued to do so only for the
personal attack o. my friend Townsend. If |
have said anything that hurts his feelings ! am
sorry as |, in most cases have only made use of
his own language and if his own chickens COM

DEATH OF DR. JOHN A. BRowN.-Dr. John A.
Brown, known as the proprietor of the Living
Home, near Wilmington, died, rather suddenly,
in Boston, Mass, last Sunday. DR.. Brown was
native of New England, but came to Delaware
some thirty years ego. He owned considerable
real estate near Wilmington, the town called
Browntown or West Wilmington having been
founded and, we believe, built chiefly by him
He has always been Democrat and in 1872 was
movement. He was elected to the Legislature
from this county in 1868.
During bis residence in Rhode Island in his
younger days, DR.. Brown took part in the ia
nous "Dorr Rebellion in that State.

The LOST CHILD. Charlie Ross, the stolen
child, has not yet been heard from, though near
ly four weeks have elapsed since his SEDUCTION.
Frequent correspondence has passed between the
boys father and certain unknown parties. The
letters of the latter state that the boy is in their
possession and will be returned to his father
upon the payment of $4,000, ransom. They
ask that Mr.. Ross shall meet them, alone, in
some unfrequented spot which they will name,
and pay the money into the hands of certain per-
sons, after which bis boy will be delivered to
him. They promise to deal fairly" and init
mate that it is to their interest to do SO for the
success Of their business in the future. The citi-
zens of Philadelphia, and indeed of the whole
country, look upon this matter as one which the
the entire public IS directly interested Were such
deeds permitted to be done with imPunity, no
ones child would be safe To such degree has
this feeling taken hold upon the people, the may
or of the city has at last been induced to issue
proclamation offering a reward Of $780, 900 for
the capture of the kidnappers. This proclama-
ton all the papers in the country are requested
to publish, and it will, accordingly, be found in
another of our columns. 1t is earnestly to be
hoped that the Williams will be caught and when
caught, punished to the full extent and limit of
human ability. No Punishment could possibly
be too severe for them.

Il am attacked by the Ring and Mr. Bayards
name lugged in. stated in my former CON-
munieation, that Mr. James A. Bayard, at the
meeting at Chrisiana on the 4th day of June,
1898, opposed the nomination of sheriff and cor
oner by ballot ard will further say, no man
in the State did more than did, in 1851, in n
three weeks struggle, to advise and bring
around, at Dover, his election as U. s. Senator
This w. further says, | threaten, if certain
things are not done, to run White Mans ticket
and marked the sentence in italics. Now l tell
this Mr.. W. that if am forced, by Ring pack
ers. 10 make an appeal to the people in favor of
nominations by ballot, it will be TO Democratic
white men, not to the Democratic ngger equal-
ty Greeley party | believe the party he acts
with adopted and voted with the Greeley Elec-
tors, and, therefore, it should first purge itself
Of nigger before it assumes white robes. There
will never be any danger of my appealing 10 the
Greeley organization my business is with white
men. And further, if Mr.. Thomas Bayard is so
very popular as this W. states why should his
immediate frien 8 be 50 sensitive about nomini-
ton by ballot2 If Mr.. Bayard, on the currency
question, saw proper to get on the same plank
with President Grant, as Senator hois responsible
to the people. There is, however, a great deal
that Mr.. Bayard does in Congress that heartily
approve, and l presume that any Democratic
white man whom we may nominate by ballot il,
Appoquinmnk Hundred if elected, would vote
for Thos. F. Bayard for U s. Senator There is
no feeling on this matter, unless his toadeys will
force an ISSUE 1t is rather pity that some OF these
toadeys could not get Mr.. Bayard nominated,
and elected President. Then he would have it
in his power to reward these New Castle county
toadeys with the inferior appointments that
would not need coulrma ion by the Senate. As
it is now, mere U. s. Senator, in a strong op-
position administration, has nothing to bestow.
| think Mr.. Bayard has enough good sense to
not desire his toadeys to get up u feeling about
his reelection to the Senate, if the party is sue
cessful, which hope and believe it will be, next
Fall. No Democratic white man, presume, con-
templates, or dreams of, opposing his reelection,
| hold it right of constituent TO critcise the
acts of men we put in a position to represent us,
and because criticise his action on the currency
question am ! TO be taken by every jackass TO be
opposed to Bayards reelection to the U. s.
Senate2 And even if | was, no man, or set OF
men, eau drive me, but my advice to such fool
toadeys is to stop lying, for they doing Mr..
Bayard more harm than good.

THE YOUNG FIEND, OF MAss.--The young mon
ster Pomeroy, whose insane propensity for mutt
lating small boys and torturing them to death
occasioned so much excitement in Boston some
months since, has had another horrible crime
laid to his charge. little girl named Katie
Curran mysteriously disappeared last winter,
and nothing was known of her fate until some
workmen employed in repairing cellar COM
municating with the cellar of the house in which
Pomeroy mother lived found her body buried
in an ash pile.
The child's clothing was in good state of
preservation, and led to the complete iden;ifca-
ton OF the remains. The indignation of the
neighbors was SO great that the police thought
it necessary to take both the mother and the
elder brother into custody to save them from the
vengeance of the mob. There seems to be no evil
deace that they had anything TO do with the
murder except their failure to discover the body,
which had lain in the cellar for nearly four
months.
Pemeroy was arrested and made full confess
sion of the crime

Much Of our space is again surrendered, this
week, to correspondence. 1t is unfortunate that
the writer's cannot express their views in little
less extended manner, as their communications
are ''ower long" for our limited space. We have
managed, however, to insert those that came first
TO the exclusion of other matter, bu, we beg that
they be made shorter hereafter. We must insist
also, on the stipulation we first made that
personalities be not INDUCED in. Personal
elimination is not argument, and we are at q
loss TO understand what Mr.. Townsends past
political course, or the part taken by individual
Democrats in the disastrous campaign of 1860,
or in the Greeley fasco Of 1872 has to do with
the question of how our county ticket shall be
nominated in 1874.
Gentlemen, be kind enough to stick to the
subject and let outside issues alone.
