WILMINGTON, DEL, JUNE =. 1876
Working to Win.


Looking .vel the field of preparation
for the grand political race for the Presi-
dency in November, we cannot withhold
expressing our pleasure at the gravity
and the conservatism that pervades the
Democratic party in their conventions in
every State. They are evidently de-
termined to work to win; and there is
8 a ely doubt of favorable result, if
a man in whom the people can repose
implicit confidence is chosen for the
standard bearer and, with such names
as are now before the people to choose
from we cannot see how mistake can
be made.
We are confident that the people want
and expect to see strict Democrat
nominated-a man who will fully repre-
sent the plain, old economical and con-
servative principles Of that party. And
with such man at the head Of our
standard the ticket would be carried with
Just such an overwhelming vote as was
given to Franklin Pierce in 1852.
The people Of this country now know
that there is no hope for Reform from
the Republican Party leaders, and that
the election of q Democrat is sure tc
result in Retrenchment at Washington
and as a consequence all over the coun
try. The strong feeling that has mani
Tested itself in most of the States in ia.
vor of Senator BAYARD is one of the
sarest evidences Of the displeasure in
which the great mass OF the people hold
the managers Of the Radical party. They
are seeking pure man to place at the
head of the nation, and no one fills the
measure of their ideas in this regard as
the Senator from Delaware. Added to
this, they see in him gentleman of the
finest ability-just in the vigor of man.
hood, one who can neither be driven by
partizan threats nor coaxed or cajoled by
the allurements Of money to 60 single
step beyond the point of honor or moral
reetitude. His own Roman-like conduct
and economical and laborieus habits
would lead to economy and industry in
all the surroundings of the position al
Washington and elsewhere in the dis
charge of official duties, and could no
fail to inaugurate new system TIA
would prove of incalculable benefit t,
the whole country.

The Use OF Opposition. IF the
present House of Representatives has not
been able with Senate of opposite DO
hticalv views, to enact much positive legis-
alton for the good Of the country, it has

would have been inevitable. The ku-
klu1, the prosecuted negro and the An.
Jacksonville horrors would have been the
staple of Congressional oratory; while
the conduct of the guilty federal officials
in various departments would have es.
capped all investigation. Belknap would
still be in the cabinet Babcock would he
unsuspected, and whisky and other rings
would continue to steal without fear of
c onsequences. When Belknap was ex-
posed the Senate was engaged in the
bloody shirt business, and the party
machinery which in times past had
worked SO wellto party advantages in the
South was being put together to run
once more in the interest Of radical as
tendency, But the exposure of corrup-
tien in the party household, which with
House of opposite politics, would have
been impossible, have rendered it idle to
attempt to delude the people with tales
OF rebel violence.aud disloyalty. The
suspicion is now become strong and W ide
spread among.intelligent linen that, to a
large extent, the tales OF rebel mis-.
deeds have been invented to call off at.
tention from the felonies and frauds in
which men in Office were engaged.-Balt

About $500 Knights Templar, many of
them mounted, paraded the streets of
Philadelphia yesterday morning. 1t is
admitted by all that finer demonstra.
tion never took place in Philadelphia.
The presence of so many visitors and
the buildings, public and private, being
literally hidden in bunting and festive
offerings, added much to the attractive
ness of the parade. The weather was
clear and sprlnglike.
Unparalleled success of the knights
Templar reunion eliminated last evening
IN one OF the most brilliant receptions
ever given in the Academy of Music
Over twenty thousand invitations had
been issued for the grand event, and il
safe to estimate that fully two-thirds ot
this number participated in the fes
tivities of the occasion.

HAPPY the owner of a pair of fine

which to enjoy the pleasures and splen-
dors of Fairmont Park, and happy, too,
the graceful equestrian ladies and gentle
men who recall the beautiful ex ercisos of
Rotten Row, London, and the Bois de
Bou!ogne, Paris! but poor people,
specially journalists and newspaper re-
porters, may console themselves in the
possession of those public conveyances
which carry them and the masses for six
and quarter cents -four tickets for
twenty-five cents over our smooth city
railroads directly to the gates of the Ex-
hibition. There is no Joiting nor tear
ing of the wheels nor frightening Of the
horses. We rode in one OF the open sum
mer cars last Saturday evening from the
Centennial Grounds to our Office, Seventh
and Chestnut, and found an intelli GENT
company OF ladies and gentlemen, the
latter smoking their cigars without COM
plant from the former, under the rules
OF the management. The balmy atmos-
phere, the rapid, safe passage, excited nc
envy OF the luxurious occupants of the
costly equipages, who after their rides in
the Park had to pay for their advantages
in their dslocating travel homewards.-

Prince Blucher, who was, during
the eventful reign of Napoleon l., as
distinguished military leader as
Count Won Moltke during the last
twelve years, under the same flag,
largely contributed in the campaigns
of 1Sl3-14 to the defeat of the terrible
Corsican, and, alone among monarchs,
ministers, and generals who were dis
posed to grant favorable terms Of peace
insisted that dethronement, if not
death, ought 10 be the doom of him
who was denounced as "the common
enemy of Europe" 1t was Blucher
who, by the battle of Laon, decided
the first capitalization of Paris. On
the return of Napoleon from Elba, in
1915 he resummed the command of the
Prussian army, and though defeated,
on June 16, in the battle Of Ligny, ac+
complished the unprecedented exploit
OF coming up with large force ON the
evening Of the battle of Waterloo, and
of converting the victory which Wei
lington had hardly won into the utter
ly ruinous rout of the French which
ended only at the walls of Paris
Blucher, who was nothing but mere
soldier (Napoleon always spoke of him
as "that old DEVIL" and the Prussian
army called HIM Marshal Forwards"
was actuated by two combined princi
plcs-batrcd OF Frenchmen and love oil
Prussia. lie was created prince by
his sovereign tile father of .hc present
German EmpeTor); but there was
nothing prinCcly nor even gentle in
his language or manners. But he was
a man of the time, and eminently a
man for the time. French and un
friendly historians and critics have
assumed that because Marshel Bluchei
was rough and ready he must also
have been illiterate. fhe reverse is
the fact, He received good ordinary
education, and could express himself
far better by writing than in conver
sation. There are now publishing in
the Cologne Gazette the letters which
he wIote home 10 his family and &
few near friends during the eventfu
campaigns Of 1913 Is. They arc

dame" replied the agent, she should,
on the average, survive II years, s
months, and 16 days" THAT" said
his visitor, would be till the 1st of
August, 1892" Precisely, madame -
"And how much could I insure his life
for?" "Oh, for any amount, say $780,
OO0," he answered, taking up a blank
form of application. "Well," said the
young woman, II think, then, that I'll
marry him." ENSURE him, you meanY''
replied the agent. .''No, marry him;
you insure him. You see," she added,
with burst of confidence, 81 love Her
bert, and Mr.. Dawkins is old enough to
be my grandfather. But Herbert is
poor, and just worship the corner lots
that Mr.. Dawkins builds on. And Her
bert is very patient, and says that if l
will only fix day, no matter how long
he may have to wait, he will be happy.
Now, you say Mr.. Dawkins will die by
the 1st of August, 1887, and as it

SULLIVAN SPEAKS.

The Democracy Of Sullivan county
held meeting at Blountville, May
1. to select delegates to the Conven-
ton of the 31st May at Nashville.
The meeting was largely attended,
and was one of great harmony. The
Convention heartily endorsed the
course of Hon. VIM. Mcfarland and
nominated him for their Congress-
ional standard bearer in the next
canvass, p.edging a united and cor
dial support. This is just as it should
have been and just as we expected
it would be. AS goes Sullivan SO
goes the other counties Of the Dis
trict. Her suggestion to avoid a
Congressional Convention by max
ing county nominations, endorsing
him, is jndicious and wise, and viii
be acted upon by the other counties
of the District. This blasts for the
summer all the hopes and expecta-
tions the Radicals have entertained
of division or want of harmony in
our ranks, and insures the success
of our candidate in November. The
following are theresolutions adopt
ed:
WHEREAS, In view of the fact that our
fellow citizen, Charles r. Vance, whose
81 Il
casions as a candidate for Congress, has
in a recent letter to the Bristol COurStr,
declined coming before the people as
such candidate at the next election, and
has suggested that the race ought to be
conceded to our present representative,
Hon. VIM. Mcfarland Therefore
Resotged, That it is the united voice of
the Democracy of Sullivan county that
his course as our present representative
in the Congress of the United States has
been able, high toned and all that an
admiring constituency could desire.
ResOl0ed, That we, the people of Sulli-
van Co., approving such suggestion
and in order to preserve harmony
and peace and with a view to heal all
disputes, divisions and jealousies that
may exist between the Democratic citi-
Zens of this and other counties, as well
as to promote the strength of the Demo
cratic party in the 1st Congressional
District, do hereby nominate and hearth
ly indOrse Hon. VIM. Mcfarland as
our standard bearer in the contest for
Congress, in this District, at the next
election. And we do hereby pledge
him our earnest and united support.
ReSOloed, That we pledge ourselves to
the Democracy of each county, compos-
the 1st District to do our whole duty;
and in order to avoid the necessity of a
Congressional Convention we do hereby
invite them to meet in County COnven-
tiOns and nominate Hon. VIM. McFar-
land and thereby join the Democracy of
Sullivan county in the united and har-
monious support of him in the coming
contest.

Well, Sue lit is over 1--we met him,
My love of the olden time,
The hero of youthful fancies-
The inspirer of youthful rhyme.
'tAnd how did it seem?" you are asking,
My heart-ah gave it no bound
At gazing on features once dearer
Than all on this mortal round
Well, no-my heart felt no throbbing
At meeting him once again
My cheek did not pale, nor felt
Again the old tender pain.
He sat in the omnibus idly
Coming the &c Morning Post
And 1, by the opposite window
Seeking, but vainly, the ghost
To find of the man once so fondly
Love-crowned within my heart,
In the form of him sat scanning
With never thrOb, nor a start.
And as / thus measured him fully.
And heard him discuss the rise
That +" Erie stocks" had taken,
Or the sad fall of merchandise
confess that l couldn't help asking.
In a sort of a wondering way:
" Can this be the hero, for whose sake,
I've dreamed my young life away %
All never-my heart is rebelling I
The form is the same as of yore,
But the glory was born of my fancy,
That glory surrounds him no more !
All, we'll tits queer world we live in,
A curious world, and a sad,
And woman oft gives to fancy
The best that she ever had,
Of dreaming and loves oblation,
And wakes to the knowledge some day
That her beautiful gilded idol
Is naught but commonest clayi
