THE TICKET.

The result of the labors of the Demo-
cratic State Convention is satisfactory to
sll lovers OF Democratic unity and sue
cess. The members Of the Convention
are to be thanked for the perseverance
and stesdlness with which they adhered
TO the work they were assembled to do
and we doubt not that the good people
of the State will express their approval
heIt Fall by the handsome majority they
will give to each individual on the ex-
cellent ticket which heads our column
this morning.
The composition of the ticket shows
that the delegates were animated by a
determination to bury out of sight and
out Of mind all of the feuds and bicker-
iugs and jeslousies which have distracted
and weakened the party in the past, and
march forward hereafter with united
front to sure victory. The Convention
has united once more all good Democrats
of whatever past faction, or present local
ity, and now, politically speak.
ing let US hope that
Shall daub her lips with her own child
ren's blood;
No more shall trenching war channel her
fields.
Nor bruise her fiowrets with the armed
Othostile PAGES those opp osed eyes,
Which, ike the meteors Of troubled
All OF one nature, of one substance bred.

And furious close OF civil butchery,

The ticket presented is, IS 8 whole,
well worthy Of cordial support. When
it is remembered that for each of the
offices 10 be filed there were numerous
cond dates whose respective claims were
strongly ged by their particular friends;
and also that each territorial section OF
the State claimed . share Of the offices as
its own; and also that it was necessary
to cement the peace of each ofthe here
tofore rival factions of the party that
some OF the friends OF each should be
designated for office; some of the diff
culties to be overcome may
be understood. Remembering and
appreciating these difficulties, We

We regret that in the extract from
letter written by Judge HOFFMAN, which
we published two or three days ago, sew
eral words were omitted, the absence OF
which made the Judge appear to resign
because of the demands Of his private
business and by reason of his continued
Ill health. The truth is that his public
duties were performed with such scrupu-
lous and laborious care that his private
affairs were neglected and his health
broken down. 1t was mainly his inabil.
ity to any longer discharge with satisfac-
ilon 10 himself his judicial duties, that
prompted his resignation.

REHABILITATION.

Which of the States named In the
Democratic list can any Republican
claim for either Conkling, Morton or
Blaine? Which of the States in the Re
publican list can the Republicans afford
to lose? " hat Republican is willing to
take the risk of running candidate,
already denounced as railroad Jobber,
in the States of Michigan, Wisconsin. ii.
linois, Minnesota, or even ia Ohio, when
the public sentiment ls strong and vigor-
GUS against railroad influence in the
Government, and against monopolles
and corruption in any form? To
elect any Republican candidate
he must carry all the Republican States,
and must get thirty-four votes from the
debatable States. We cite these figures to
show that the circumstances OF the cam
psign do not admit of taking any risks.
1t is not time to carry on defensive
campaign, and there is no precedent for
the election of a candidate who was put on
the defensive. Success can only be ac-
complished by an aggressive canvass, and
with Mr.. Blaine the Republican party can
do nothing but explain and defend sccu'
sations made against the candidate by
leading members of their own party. The
Democratic party evidently has determin-
ed to ignore the Rag Baby, and the can.
vass is to be made upon the issue OF re-
form in the administration OF the Gov
ernment. The candidate will be Tilden,
or candidate named by him, rs Bayard
or Thurman men having unssssilable
personal rspu:ations, and whose election
will give ass rance that dishonesty and
peculation will have no recognition o.
the Executive branch ofthe government,
With such an opponent needing no vim
dlcation, can the Republican party afford
to run a candidate whose personal and
official recttude will require defense at
every crossroads in the land?

Since the October election politics
have run riot in our village. The
strife and turmoil were most agree
ably relieved by the advent of Mrs.
Katherine Gray in our midst, last
Friday night. On that evening she
gave us one of her entertainments
in Elocution. I had the pleasure Of
of being present, and must pro.
nounce her an artist. It has not
been my pleasure to hear many who
are her superiors. She possesses q
wonderful ability to amuse as wei as
to instruct Her reading of some
pieces could not be excelled, nota-
BILE among which were, "Curfew
shall not ring Tonight" ''Bessie, u
"Iron Horse, "The Sympathizing
Woman" and "Yankee Courtship.
But when all were so well done, it is
difficult to particularize. She is wo-
man of wonderful powers, and de-
serving of the fattering encomiums
passed by the press. All those who
fsiled to hear her, should make it a
point do so at her appearance in our
village, on next Wednesday evening,
Nov. s, if they desire an evenings
entertainment of the most agreeable
character.

A USEFUL WoRK.-Mr. o. S. Coate,
of Wilmington, is now canvassing this
county for a new and very useful
work, called ''Bancroft's Analysis Of
the Government" 1t gives a clear,
fnll and concise explanation of the
principles upon which the Govern
ment of the United States is fonnd
ed, and the details of its practical
operation, in all its departments
legislative, sxscEtive and judicial.
Each provision 6Isthe- Federal Con
stitution is carefully and thoroughly
analyzed and explained in simple
language, so as to be easily under
stood by every reader of ordinary
intelligence Such a work is well
calculated to render the mass of the
people better acquainted with the ma
ture of the government under which
we live, a subject as to which many
are laboring under very erroneous
ideas, for want of the instruction
which this book is designed to i'm
part. The author, Mr.. Bancroft,
shows familiarity with his subject,
and we take pleasure in commanding
his book, as well worthy of place in
every intelligent family.
