WHAT GENERAL sIGEL SAYS HE KNOWS.
According TO a Cincinnati despatch,
General Sigel, in speech delivered in
that city on Saturday evening, declared
Tat he had personal knowledge of
Hayes membership in the American ALI
ance q advices from persons that he deem
ed perfectly reliable that his acceptance of
their nomination for Prcsidentwas in per-
feet accordance with his life long views
upon the question of the privileges of the
foreign population in America. The old
Know-Nothing motto that ''None but
Americans should rule America" had
been his until it became profitable for
him to have his secretary deny it in order
to further lis chances for the Presidency.
Even now he does not deny it f'mself but
throws the reliable responsibility on his
secrtary thus making him (the secretary
the scape goat to bear the burden of the
sin, while he (Hayes) enjoyed all the
profit.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR ITS oBsERvANC 8
A TOWN MEETING TO DE HELD IN
REGArD TO THE MATTER.
Since the appointment, by Gov. Coch-
ran of Thursday the 10Th inst, as sDela-
ware Day" at the Centennial, general
desire has sprung up among our people to
have the event celebrated in an appropri-
ate and creditable marler.
rs has already boon Stated there will
probably be a general suspension of bust
ness on that day, and the banks, if proper
arrangements can be made, will be closed
The Board of Education has ordered that
the schools be closed and it is therefore
probable that as far as Wilmington is coll
cerned, large number of citizens will
join in making ''Delaware Day" as sue
cessful as have been other State days at
the Centennial.
Tomorrow evening town meeting
will be held at the City Hall, when the
subject will be considered, and commit
tees appointed to make the necessary ar
rangements for securing large turnout
of our people. The matter will also be
brought before the City Council with, a
view to having that body, and the city
officers, to attend the celebration in a
body.
From the State no reports have yet
been received, relative to the intention of
the people, but as the railroads will issue
excursion tickets at reduced rates, it is
probable that there will be general at
tendance, particularly from upper Kent
and New Castle counties. The Governor,
State officers, and members of the State
Legislature will attend in body, and
during the day, Governor Cochran will
hold a reception in the Delaware State
building.
