ALLMON THE WORKINGMAN's CAN.
DIDATE.

Mr.. EDITORIALS workingman and
member of the Labor party of the city of
Wilmington am pleased with the nomina-
tion of the different labor organizations In
the city in deciding not to run third can
didate for Mayer, considering that in John
P. Almond the workingmen find a true and
worthy representative-on who can and
does sympathize with their wants, and who
will, when he comes into office, use all the
power at his command to provide them with
remunerative employment, SO that they can
provide for themselves and families, and
drive the wolf starvation from their doors.
There is probably not In this city to-day
mere thorough representative of the
workingman than John P. Almond, or one
who knows and sympathizes with necessi.
ties more than he does. = - 3
Commencing life poor boy; with but
few advantages not enjoyed by the hum~
blest youth In our city, he has succeeded by
indomitable perseverance,, pluck and integ-
rity of character, In obtaining an excellent
education, and an honorable and enviable
reputation as man of business and . char
table Christian gentleman. Although COM
paratively young man Mr. Almond is now
at the head of one of the largest and most
flourishing mercantile houses In Whining
ton, and has the prosperity and dignity of
the city at heart. His financial position has
not been reached at the expense of charita-
BILE and humane impulses, for no.: mans
hand was ever more open and ready to re-
lieve the wants of the deserving poor-but
by years of industry, frugality and sobriety.
Never seeking for himself political prefer
ment and scorning the base arts Of the poll
tician, he has only consented to hold Office
at the urgent solicitation of his fellow citi-
zens. Grown mp from youth in this city
his character and life is known to most of
our citizens he needs no panegyrick at our
hands. He is an honor to our free, institu-
tions and to our city, and his example is
worthy of imitation by the youth of our
land. The workingmen of Wilmington may
we'll be proud of him as representative
candidate, and on Tuesday next they will
give him such q majority for Mayor as will
astonish the political wire-puller and dem-
agogue who runs in opposition to him.

KNITTING A NEGRO.

A QUARREL BETWEEN rwe CoLoRED MEN
AND ITS REsULT-wHAT MADE HORACE
woRRELL COME TO THE POLICE STATION
LAST NIGHT.
A large muscular colored man named
Horace Worrell came to the police station q
little before II O'Clock last night walking as
though suffering, ,and upon being interrogated d
said that another negro named Cove Good
win had stabbed him with a knife. An ex-
animation showed that he had number OF
wounds about his head and body and DR..
ogle was at once sent for. The DR.. came
promptly and dressed the mans wounds,
none of which are of dangerous ch aracter.
There was one on the left side Just over
rib, one over the left jugular vein, one on
the lett temple and two en- the back, one of
which was upon the right shoulder blade
and the other just below. None of the
wounds were OF any great depth or size.
Worrell produced the knife with whichlthe
cutting had been done and which is large
sized two blsded pocket knife, the larger
blade of which 10 three inches lopg and
blunt on the point. He said that he was
moving from his house at Twelfth and Will
son streets to Twelfth and French streets
and while he was carrying some of his goods
out of the house when Goodwin came along
and some words ensued which 1t seems were
rendered all the hotter by Goodwin being
too familiar with the others wife. Finally
Goodwin began cursing and was struck al
by Worrell. He then drew q knife ant
clenching Worrell commenced stablng hin
with it, and before he could get away thu
wounds already described had been inflicted
which thanks to the bluntness of the knifi
were not serious. A man was standing BY
at the time and urged Goodman on. Wor'
rel having escaped from his assailant cam'
straight to the police station.
| A warrant was gotten out for Goodwin
ard he Is now in custody. Worrell has tn,
appearance of being quiet orderly man ant
drives for Mr.. James G. MOI row, Fourteenth
and King streets. .
