A LOCAL PERSONAL CAMPAIGN.

There appears to be disposition shown
by some of the Democratic press to make
the local campaign personal. We do not
especially object TO this, though we think it
by no means the best plan. If the Repub-
lican candidates are personally attacked,
probably quite as much-or moroccan be
said against their competitors. Our con-
viotion is, after some considerable observa-
tion, that the newspaper practice of slang
whsnging at political opponents generally
does quite as much good to the object of
the attack as it does hurt, while, after the
election is over, it leaves behind wounded
feelings and personal resentmente that may
be slow in healing. We suggest to some
of our city contemporaries that the world
will not come to an end on the 7th Of No
vembsr, and that we expect to live in the
same community after that date, whether
the Republicans win or the Democrats
whether A ls elected or q.
There is this to be considered: that in a
community no larger than this city or this
couuty-indeed, even this State-any man
who is sufficiently well known to be nomi-
ted for any public Office of Importance is
well enough known for the peo-
pie to Judge of his character and
fitness, without having the news
papers quarreling over him, ''like cats and
dogs" We may take the candidates for
Sheriff as one instance. They are both very
well known in this county. If any voter is
personally unacquainted with either he car
learn about their record and character, an6
qualifications, in ten minutes, from any in
telligent citizen who has lived amongst ui
for the last few years. Nothing that coulC
be said by an opposing newspaper could in
jure Harry McMullen in the estimation o
the people of this county, for great par
of them actually know him, many init
mately-and if he were sneered at, o
slapped at, or attacked, they would onl
come about him more cordially and closely
rssenting the blowsa of his opponent a
though leveied at theirlown breasts.
Some of the city papers have been sayini
something concerning the Republican can
didate for the Legislature from this city
OF course the COMMERCIAL appreciate
their kindness, and will be glad of an op
portunity to do as much for these friendl
commentators. When the editor Of tn
Herald, or of the Gazette, or of the Ece,.
Eoeleng is candidate, we shall be please,
to recall how much we are in his debt, AM
to make every effort to discharge the obi
cation.

The Candidates for Assessor,

At the "Little Election, next Tuesday,
wocounty assessors are to be elected in this
hundred-for Wilmington is hundred, if
it has 1000 people. In the Northern dis
trict, above Sixth street, Lewis T. Grubb, a
capable and popular man, is tie candidate
he has had experience as an assessor, is an
industrious and energetic man, and deserves
to have the compliment Of an overwhelm-
ing majority.
In the lower five Wards, where, under or
dinary circumstances, the Democrats are
presumed to have majority, the candidate
is George W. Roberts, now clerk in the post
Office, and man well known in the COM
munity as well fitted for the place. He was
an assistant assessor in the u s. revenue
service, several years ago, is a good clerk,
and man of intelligence. A pattern-maker
by trade-and, we believe, good workman,
he is known to hundreds of mechanics and
working mon as one who has been active in
promoting their welfare.

Dyspepsia.


Dyspepsia the most perplexing of all human all
ments. Its symptoms are almost infinite in their
variety, and the forlorn and respondent victims of
the disease often fancy themselves the prey in turn
of every known malady. This is DUE in part to the
close sympathy which exists between the stomach
and the BRAIN and in part also to the fact that any
disturbance of the digestive function necessarily
disorders the liver, the bowels and the sys
tenn, and effects to extent the quality of the
blood.
