CITY OF New CASTLE,
Nov. 5, 1875.
II there is any place in any section Of tn
country that will more plainly than other,
give an indication Of the condition Of tn,
country. financially, that place is the Sher
it1's office. ! have, during the past month,
visited the Sherft's sftic., of this county
soma three or four times, and each time
passed through noticed the Bill Board was
completely covered, sometimes with a
number tackled 10 the lower edge, Of sales
by that officer, Of bo h real and personal
properly, arI ''e deputy, Mr.. C..1ln, I un-
ders and, says thcr. have been nearly double
the sales slice last May Term of Court than
at any period of ths same length since he
has been in the Office some eighteen or twen-
ty years. This is a deplorablc state of af-
fairs, and the prospect is that it will bs no
better next year, as the late peach crop was
not mash better than complete failure.
Great fears are felt by many of our leading
business men, that Delawars's condition, f.
nan tally, six months hence. will be no bet
ter than it is now, unless, indeed, the Gov
srnor is induced to call an extra session of
the Legislature, and that body passes a
stay law. This, it is thought will give bus
mess men and farmers, who depend almost
solely on their peach crops, time to rccu-
psrate; but without something of this na-
ture, it is greatly feared the shcriffs in this
State will have more business laxt year than
ever before known. 1t is said petitions to
the Governor, for this pursose, will be put
in circulation in this county soon.
How is it possible for Republicans to be
elected to ofli'. in city so overwhelmingly
Democratic as this is, unless re aocrats
vote for them? And yet, last spring = year
ago some republicans were elected to the
office Of Town Commissioners. A majority
of the Board elected were democrats, but
two of them resigned, leaving the Board in
the hands Of republicans, who kept the
town in darkness portion of the year, and
who still keep it in darkness as to their ae-
tionS. All this true Mr.. "Fair Play" and
whose fault is it that it IL so? 1t is not the
fault Of the voters, the democratic voters,
but of the leaders, the men who make the
tickets. One would think that one expert
mcnt of putin. out mixed tickets would
have sufficed, but it wss tried again last
spring, and would have succeeded probably
if it could have bcen kept quiet till election
day. Then aean we have the Board Of
Education, with the democrats originally in
the majority, now in the hands of the re-
publcans. Their President and Secretary
both resigned, one democrat Withdrawn en-
tirely from the Board, and others likely to-
Now, if the leaders haven't learned sufici-
mt by this time to present the bone and
'inew with simon pure democrats as their
candidates, and men who, if elected, will
show courage an nanlncss sufficient to
erve their term out and perform their duty,
he bone and sinew will take the matter in
heir own hands, and make their own tick
is, and you may rest assured there will be
10 republicans on it.
