THOSE WHO want Wilmington fully
represented in the Legislature thi. win
t'r have splendid opportunity Off red
TO vote for none but Wilmingtonians.
The temperance men hav. produced
two senators from Wilmington, but for
the Lower House mixed up ticket can
be voted for by those who want Will
mington to b- fully represented. To
make up the seven required from the
county, ths Democrats bring forward
Mr.. Ware; the R-pu blicans, Mr.. Green;
the Temperance men, Mr.. Martin and
the Greenbackers, Messrs. Kent, Gal
lagher, Marshall and Walton. Now
here are seven men true and tried, all
from Wilmington, and Just the number
required. Should everybody vote for
the seven named, the rural districts will
be most beautifully left ont in the cold.
Let nobody hereafter complain Of viii
mington not having her proportionate
representation when such splendid
opportunity is offered to reverse the
tables.
Should this ticket lie elected tie
drug business would be we'll cared $or,
a. two Of the candidates are druggists ,
the cutting of -ye-teeth would be looked
after, AZ one Of the candidates Is q den
tist the erection Of wooden buildings
might be deemed advantageous by
another; Mr.. Ware conld give geomet-
rical demonstrations on stair-building;
Mr.. Martin could divert his atten
tion long enough from the question of
the prohibition Of the liquor traffic, to
rsad an essay on iron working, and Mr..
Green could tell what he knows about
coach building.

The Democracy aud GrangerisIn.

One Of the funniest things of the pre-
sent political campaign Is the opposi.
ton to Mr.. Dean by the Democrats be-
cause he isa Granger, and yet they
have not word of condemnation Of Mr..
Pyle their candidate for Sheriff, who IL
Just as strong Granger as Mr.. Dean is
If being Granger in the eyes Of the
Democracy is a sin, they have q per-
feet right to vote against Mr.. Dean and
try to defeat him, but we really cannot
See how the Democratic conscience can
b quieted by defeating Mr.. Dean their
own candidate, and then elect Mr.. Pyle
sheriff, who is also upon their own
ticket. There certainly must be a wo-
ful want of consistency here, but then
the ways Of Democracy are past finding
ont. Now we are not saying word
a. ainst Mr.. Pyle who we are informed
is very honorable gentleman an a
good citizen and we have no desire to
take any unfair advantage of him, but
as Grangerism has become a grievOus
sin in the eyes of the Democracy as
shown in their opposition to Mr.. Dean,
in our anxiety to keep the Democrats
from SHINING more grisvously, we feel
it to be our duty to tell the Democracy
that Mr.. Pyle too is leading Granger.
How it can be wrong for Mr.. Dean to be
a Granger and virtue in Mr.. Pyle to
b- one is one of those queer things in
Democracy that we cannot reconcile,
and we leave the knotty question with
the elastic consciences Of our Demo.
cratic brethern. 1t is for them to de-
eide the degree Of guilt which attaches
to grangerism. We cannot, however
close this article without helping oul
conscience smitteD Democratic friend,
ont of their dilemma by telling then
that Philip R. Clark the Republican
candidate for sheriff is no Granger, bu
man Of the people, in whom no on
need be deceived, and of course all wh'
cannot vote for Mr.. Pyle because he is ;
Granger will vote for Mr.. Clark because
he is not Granger.

the ticket and yet ne is the only one
struck at, and in all probability will
be defeated. We have no political sym

more ardent nor unyielding Democrat in

admire his independence and honesty,

ACCORDING TO the canvass carefully
made by the Republican State Commit
tee OF Massachusetts,, General Butler
is hopelessly beaten, but the Commit
tee will probably wait for the returns
to come in. The report indicates a
plurality for Talbot Of from 80, 600 to
$4,000. The Committee gives large
doubtful vote all to Butler, and then
defeat him by 20, 900 votes They feel
sure of at least Az, 900 plurality for Tai
bot, if the total vote is the same as it
was at the Presidential election of 1875.
This is bad showing for Butler. Can
not the Gazette do something or say
something that will bolster up the wan
ing fortunes of its candidate 1t might
tell its readers that Butler was horri
bly, lied about by the former rebels and
copperheads, and it might swear by
the shades of jeff. Davis, that he nev.
er had cock-eye, never stole a silver
spoon, and that it is foul slander to
to call him the hero of Dutch Gap.

South Carolina. The Republicans hav-
ing been fore warned by the sad expe-

careful not to give any offence which
might serve as an excuse for violence
by the Democrats, When the day for
holding their meeting became known
the Democrats appointed meeting for
their party in another part of the town
which was attended by two cavalry
companies and one of infantry, uni
formed and armed with rifles, pistols

Anniversary of the Greenville Y. M. G..
Association.

Last Tuesday night the village of Green
vile was all alive, up to a late hour, thu
occasion being the anniversary meeting Of
, that most active institution the Young
| Mems Christian Association. Visitors
were III from a distance including about d
dozen members of the Staunton Associa
ton. The report of the retiring President
| Mr.. r. S. Heller, which was read, showed
that there had been "a accessions to the
membership during the year. The Mis-
sionary work had been carried on earnest
ly under the direction Of Mr.. Samuel F
| Pilson the chairman of that committee and
nice sum for books and clothes for the
children of the Mission school had been
raised through the exertiOns of Messrs.
A. Blauth and S. F. Pilson. The atten-
dance at the school, 1.-THE Pines" had
been large. Among the clergy who ad-
dressed the Association during the year
were Rev. Messrs. G. B. Stricken, Charles
Manly, j. W. Rosebro and j. |. Miller.
The report acknowledges gratefully the
aid extended to the Association by the
ladies. Mr.. Arch G. Christian was elected
President of the Association for the ensu-
ing year.
Mai. Hotchkiss delivered his famous
lecture. "Jackson's Valley Campaign to
a crowded house, and to the intense graft
fication of his audience.
Some of the Stanton Y. M. G. A. were
then called out. Capt. II. l.. Hoover ex-
cused himself with a humorous apology
DR.. r. A. Hamilton made d brief address,
full Of good sense and feeling, while Mr..
w. j. Nelson brought down the house
with his happiest effort. The music was
charmingly rendered by Messrs. J. w. Al
by, DR.. Brown, W. j. Nelson and JoelEt-
finger, aided by some of the fair canta-
trices Of Greenville and vicinity. Aid
then came the elegant supper in the dining
salon Of the commodious Greenville Hotel,
and it was ON this familiar field of action
that the knife and fork delegation from
stanton is said to have won unading
laurels. Altog ether it was most enjoy
able affair and reflected credit not only
upon this vigorous young Association, but
upon the hospitality and good taste of the
ladies Of Greenville and vicinity.
