THE attempt of The Sun 20 induce tho

amount to nothing. The people of Alex

their sheriff is a Republican or = Democrat
SO that he is a good officer and tina. Mr..
Ham. Irwin fills the bill in this respect no
one will deny. He is universally acknowl-
edged as one OF the best sherifrs in tho
state, and has, during the time he has held
the office, spent moro money than he
made. The board Of county commission
ers has raised the salary for tho next term
and made it = diving salary" 1t is only
justice to Mr.. Irwin that he should be re-
elected, and we are sure he will be. There
are hundreds Of Republicans IN Alexan-
der county who will vote for him if all the
Republican conventions in the state should
order them not to do so.

The Govern

Mr.. G. P. JOHNSON notice that you are
quite liberal to Democrats in regard 10 the use
of your columns to bring forward the names Of
men who are supposed to have the qualifca-
tions that are required as candidates for the
offices Of Governor and Representative TO Cen
gresa. Some of your Wilmington people are
not likely 10 be soon killed with political mod.
esty when they advocate the taking of both
candidates from your city. Now us country
people think we have men who could fill
either the positions of Governor or Representa-
tive to Congress.
ASS candidate for Governor, Charles Beasten,
Esq, of st. Georges Hundred, gentleman who
has all the qualifications TO ell the office.
As many think New Castle County il en-
titled to both the Governor and Representative
to Cong ess. II so, DR.. Swithen Chandler,
Of Mill Greek Hundred, would make q most
excellent candidate.
Both the above named gentlemen have abili-
ty to fill the respective positions with credit to
their party and to themselves and are Jus. the
character of men who will suit our farming COM
munity, who prefer as candidates others than
lawyers. A COUNTRY DEMOCRAT.

RATHER HAsTY-"lron Worker" in last even
ipg's Erery Erenin9, assaults the GAZETTE Wig
orously on the iron question. We might conde-
scend to reply TO his TRADE of abuse but for the
fact that in his ignorance and carelessncss Iron
WORKER has "barked up the wrong tree, and
made himself extremely ridiculous by assailng
the wrong paper. Had his ability to read cor
rectly been equal to his perception of the GA
RETrB's Ignorance" he would have seen that
the article on "The Iron Trade, published in our
issue of July 9th, was compiled from the columns
of the Reading (Pa,) Eagle, paper published in
the centre of one of the most extensive iron dis
tricts in that State. The article in question was
careful review of the Pennsylvania iron trade,
and we believe it was, in the main, accurate as
it was interesting. We have more confidence in
The Eagles kno~lcdge of the iron trade than in
Iron Workers" In fact, We are confident he
has not the slightest practical knowledge of the
business, believing that his pride is too great to
reconcile him to honest toll in this dirty though
eminently respectable business, while he can &c
quire a cheap, unenviable notoriety by abu-
sive, servile pen.
Wilmington daily gazette., 1874-07-14

The Ga.ette speaks of "the baseless theoriel
OF Eeery Erenin9," in aluding to our edtoria'
article, "The Political Outlook in This State.
The most prominent theory advanced in that
article was that the chances were in favor of the
Democrats. ."-Erery Erening.
There was no "thecry" in the statement that
'sthe chances were in favor OF the Democrats !
That was luminous fact which the GAZETTE had
been proclaiming for some time. The article OF
Eces-y Eren,ng asserted and claimed that success
could only be attained by the Democrat party
oy adopting a platform in Convention 10 favor
Of Ecery Erening's theory OF repsesentatiou &C
cording to population, which It asserted had
been adopted by the Radicals. Now if this were
done, Wilmington would be entitled to as many
Senators and Representatives in the Legislature
as the whole Of New Castle county beside, and in
the course of 9 lew years many more.
