has attained under the management Of
its former talented proprietor, and we
shall always labor diligently to make
it in the future what il has been in the
past, welcome and interesting visitor
to every home where it is received.
There will be no change in the for
mer political course Of the TRANSCRIPT.
It will continue to uphold those grand
principles Of Democraey-those prin-
ciples which are the very foundation Of
civil government--as it has done in the
past, as well as our humble talents will
allow; but, at the same time, the
TRANSCRIPT will not be the organ Of
any party Or faction, rather steering q
moderate and independent course, and
standing ever ready to support the
good and condemn the bad Of all par
ties.
While the TRANSCRIPT will not ne.
glect the news Of our whole country
rather the whole world-we shall par
ticularly endeavor to make it always
good local paper, and mainly devoted
to the interests Of that thriving section
Of country in which it circulates. Its
columns will continue to contain
weekly report Of all the interesting
home news, together with q full and
carefully written synopsis Of all impor-
tant rrevents, and notable happenings
on the Peninsula. To this end we shall
give to the paper our entire personal
attention.
We earnestly desire that the kindly
feelingnow existing between ournumer-
GUS exchanges and the TRANSCRIPT
shall continue.
Though stranger to q great num-
Der Of our readers we do not desire to
remain 50. The latch string Of the
TRANSCRIPT Office will be always out,
and our patrons welcome visitors in
our sanctum.
In conclusion, we would most re-
spectfuIly solicit continuance Of the
patronage Of those who have hereto
fore 50 literally supported the TRAN
SCRIPT, and in return we shall earnest
ly strive to make it useful and inter-
esting home newspaper, and, we hope,
at least worth the subscription price to
every subscriber.

THE COMING ELECTIONS.

Elections will be held in efollowing
States next Tuesday, the 9Th inst; New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ma
ryland, Virginia, Mississippi, Illinois,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Ne
vada and Massachusetts. Five Of these
States Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mis-
sissippi, New Jersey and Virginia
vote for Governors. Of the above
named States, New York, New Jersey,
Maryland, Virginia, Mississippi and Ne
vada willundoubtedly giveheavy demo-
craticmajorities. Pennsylvania, Illinois
and Wisconsin will also probably wheel
into the democratic line, and we shall
not be at all surprised if the democrats
capture Massachusetts and Minnesota,
We do not want to claim all the doubt
ful States, 50 we are perfectly willing
to admit that the Republicans will pos
sibly carry Nebraska.
Dakota Territory also holds an cleo
ton for Governor On the above date,
and the Black Hillerites will have the
extreme pleasure ofexercising the right
Of franchise, perhaps for the first time
in the Territory. There will probably
be lively imes about Deadwood, and
the undertakers will no doubt have a
large number Of cofins, assorted sizes,
ready made when called for.
As there will be no election in Della
ware this year, we can sit on the fence
and look on while the smoke Of battle
rolls in her sister States.

THENEw MINISTER 70 ENGLAND

THENEw MINISTER TO ENGLAND
The appointment, by Mr.. Hayes, Of
John Welsh, Of Philadelphia, as Min
iater to England meets with general
approval from the independent press
Of the country. This is as it should
be, for Mr.. Welsh is a gentleman Of
stainless reputation, great energy and
undoubted ability. He is republi-
can, but not politician nor an Office
seeker. He acquired o national repu-
tation as president Of the Centennial
Board Of Finance, and perhaps the
great success Of the exhibition was due
to him more than to any other man in
the country.
Every Senator who has the welfare
Of bis country at heart should vote for
the confirmation Of Mr.. Welsh, for he
will certainly reflect honor upon Amer
lea at the Court Of St. James-some-
thing which has not been done lately.
