a BAD NOMENATION.

Inc SENTINEL is a Republican paper.
II Is also Q thoroughly independent one.
As Journal devoted to the best inter-
ests OF the State, il will condemn a bad
nomination by either party. As a
straightforward party paper, opposed to
all disorganizers and to al compromises
and corrupt bargains with them, IL can

But now comes the disturber again.
That same disorganizer forces his name
upon the legislative ticket, in pursuance

hes vilitied and abused. The result ia
that discouragement and dissatisfaction
everywhere prevail. The nomination of
Howard NJ. Jenkins is a wet blanket
thrown upon the heating enthusiasm of
the party.
We never eat crow" We have said
In these columns that while Howard M.
Jenkins and that class Of men have in
ty, the people of Delaware will not and
should not trust it with power. We re-
peat that declaration now, as a duty we
owe to the true men Of this State. We
nnhesitatingly advise every Republican
in New Castle county to scratch the
name Of Howard II. Jenkins from his
ticket. and to end forever the political
ambitions and prerensiens of this dis
tnrber OF our party's peace. You have
him where you can repay him for his
treachery and teach him that his place
in the party is that of private soldier
doing duty under better men as leaders
II you once give him office, or encourage
his ambition. you will have him on your
hands as a place hunter forever to come.
We say then, emphatically, to our
friends OF New Castle (who have NO
other organ to speak for them and whose
views and wishes have been made known
to us), defeat Mr.. Horeard M. Jenkins. He
is Lot identified witt 55he interests of our
State. He hates her system, her laws,
her institutions and the best and the
finest of her native born, prominent men.
He is not in sympathy with her people.

1t grieves us te see a good ticket SO
useless]y and foolishly weakened, and
we fear that the one bad nomination will
drag the rest Of the ticket into defeat.
We urge our friends to vote all of the
ticket, ercept Jenkins, A nomination pro-

by frauds, by repeating in several wards,
and BY holding no election in one ward,

Even il it had not been honestly and
regularly made. Mr.. Jenkins himself has
taught us, as in 1874, the right of men to
reject nominee.
