Retiinpin New Yarsrs-

The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphiv Star is in New York, and
writes to Saturdays issue Of that paper 1
have found out that it will not do to judge
the result by the public betting. Unfortu-
nately, or fortunately as it may be, the bet
ting is in the hands of Mr.. John Morissey,
who is the ardent advocate and friend Of
MIR. Tilden. The theory or system of pool
selling or betting is as much in the control
of Morrissey hero as is the stock board in
the hands of Gould, Vanderbilt or some 9TH
or railroad millionaire, who can bull or bear
a stock st his pleasure. Or to bring it near
er to home, the betting here is as much
in the control of John Morrissey as
was the Reading railroad stock re.
Gently in the control of Mr.. Gowen, who
dropped it in twenty-four hours time from
$44 to 800 share. So 1 say to the Star
readers, pay no attention to what you see in
the betting line and the pool sales. By the
way, number of politicians arrived here
to day, and are buying all the pools they
can get their hands on where the odds are
against Hayes. Bob Mackey heads the par
ty. l notice another significant fact, that
John Morrissey offers $11, 1000 to $4,000 on
Tilden Sheridan Shook, who ls a partisan
like Mor-issey, but more judicious and just
as anxious to make money, has made bet
Of $4,000 even on Hayes.

Runa1vAy Accident.

Last Saturday evening, the family car
riage of j. @. Crookshank, Esq, at Cecil
ton, was sent to the steamboat landing in
charge of colored driver, who was accom-
panied by Mr.. C.'s little son. When near
ing Fredericktown the horses took fright at
an approaching OK team, and ran off, in
treir flight ascending a high bank, from
which the horses and carriage were
Unrown. The carriage was badly shattered,
and one of the horses, a magnificent fellow,
was killed in the fall. Strange to say, both
the driver and the child escaped unhurt.
The horse killed was young one with
splendid qualities as driver, and Of re-
markable speed. He was valued al many
hundred dollars. Cecil Wing.

Facts for the People.

AS the virtues of medicines can only be ascer
tanned by careful observation it is to be regretted
that many of the drugs still prescribed By some
Physicians should retain place in our materia
medca. As instance of this, that vile drug Bal
Copaiba furnishes an example. About the year
1880 the Spaniards in the Island of San Domingo
having become afflicted with certain complaints,
thought, according to the prevailing notion at that
time, that the remedy might be found where the
disease originated Under this impression Balsam
Copaiba came INTO use, but never has nauseating
drug done more injury, for it not only changes the
nature of the disease to dreadful state than
the original, but it ruins the tone of the stomach
and brings Dyspepsia in its worst forms. To
void this drug and It's effects the SAMARITAN S
GIFT, pure vegetable remedy is within the reach

scented, and have said no such thing, we re-
mark the fact. We described the Governor
as the equal, morally, of the Senator. This
is saying much for our Delaware fellow

TO-M0RRoWs VOTE m NEW CASTLE
C0UNTY

In spite of the operations of the dis
franchisement laws, there is clear
Republican majority of qualified vo-
ters in this county, when full vote
is polled, and Democratic frauds are
prevented. With this as the founda-
tion fact, it is further true that for the last
few days the Republicans have been gain
ing ground and the Democrats have been
losing Everybody sees this. 1t is plainly
apparent to both sides. All last week the
Republicans received recruits, at the ex-
pense of their opponents, and with the
grand demonstration in this city on Satur-
day evening, the weeks work closed to the
great advantage of Hayes and True Reform,
aud .of the Republican State and county
tickets.
At this point, when arguments are no
longer of any great use either in the news
papers or at the meetings, much can still
be done by personal exertion. This morn
ing business men in this city, who, until
now, had felt only moderate interest, have
gone to work with vim and determination
for our candidates. Men who have been
voting on the other side are known to-day
to intend voting the Republican ticket.
The great swell of public feeling is in favor
of Governor Hayes, and in favor of the can
didates In our State and local tickets. The
tide is with us. Let every Republican inn
prove the opportunity. Personal effort
with doubtful voters will change hundred
at least, in this county, before tomorrow
night, and this will make total weight of
two hundred thrown against Tilden. Such
result is entirely possible make it ac-
tual
AS for the vote tomorrow in this county,
we are as sure of success, if every one who
prefers the Republican ticket does his
share of the work, as that to-moTow's sun
will rise. Work will win for us, beyond a
doubt. The Democrats labored desperately
all last week, and we may expect them to
omit no effort, but it, against this, we make
such an effort as we can make, they will be
beaten overwhelmingly, and they know it,
They can make no reasonable figures ot
majorities in the several hundreds, but
what will be overcome by the Republican
majority on this city,with a large margin tC
spare. McMullen will run ahead of hi
ticket. Scores-and in all hundreds-o
Democrats will vote for him, not only il
this city, but throughout the county. Hi
election, If no effort be RELAXED until the poll
close, is certain.
Now brethren, we have every assuranc
of success that we deserve. Make it cer
tain by work

ALI kinds of "split p" tickets are out OF
course. One sort, we are informed, has
Grubb's name for Sheriff instead of Nc
Mullen's, and the name of the Republican
candidate for Coroner is spelled "Gal-
lagher," instead of Gallaher," the latter
being, no doubt, unintentional, as the prob
able object was to simply help Grubb at
McMullens expense. Be sure your ticket
is all right before you vote.

A pretty school-marm OF WIcomico coun-

tardy, promised to kiss the first scholar
who made his appearance at school'house.
All went well for few days, and the nine
teen-year old boys anxious to participate in
this fun, actually got to roosting on the
fence all night, in order to be the first at

monotonous and the teacher gave up the
