AFTER THE NOMINATION.

The result of the nomination was an,
nounced at the Lincoln club rooms Sat
urday evening. Mr.. Lichtenstein being
present was called on to make speech.
Mr.. L. thanked the Republican party
for having nominated him to the posi-
tion. He said he refused to take the
nomination unless it was to be in a
measure unanimous. During the time
he has held the position he said that
he thought he had acted faithfully to
the interest of the city, and that he had
gone against the interest of some OF his
friends in cases where he considered it
for the public good. He considered him
self as acting for the good of the people
and not for the party alone.
City Treasurer Vincent being present
was called on to make speech. Mr..
Vincent said jokingly that the Re-
publicans had nominated both mind
and matter. Mr.. Lichtenstein who
would fill the chair Of President Of
Council with mind, and himself who
would fill that Of the Treasurer with

Illegally . single dollar. There MAJ
or they may not be errors in his ac
count, but it wsuld be a mere matter o
6gures. The money, he said, woulc
always be where It belonged, in tn.
City Treasury. But, said the speaker
thanks to the aid of his assistants
these figures had iu nearly every in.
stance been correct. Mr.. Vincent de-
scribed the increase of the city from
when he had first entered it boy a
few days after the Christmas of 1889
to the present date. Then the city had
5000 people. She has constantly IN
creased from then every decade. For
instance in 1850 she had in round
numbers $4,000; in 1860, $1,000; in
lS7O,3l 900; and now he estimated that
by 1880, close at hand, she would have
over 5000. AS the city has increased
so has the debt.
The citizens thought it was terrible
and there was great excitement whel
the debt rose to 500, 900. In the or
dinance book he said would be seen
words to the effect "that the debt OF
the City of Wilmington shall in no
case exceed 100000" Now he said
it exceeded considerably one millio,
and quarter Of dollars. The speaker
in alluding to the debt Of the city spok-
Of the Cool Spring Ressr voir, in which
he said it had cost at rough guess in
the neighborhood of $500,O0O. Thi>
expense he said was necessary bu,
there will be no such necessity for
similar debt for probably so years.
Most Of the debt he said had been con-
tracted for water works and school
houses These in one sense of thu
word he thought could hardly be call
ed taxes. Add what you would have
had to pay for the education Of the
children of your ordinary taxes and
you will find the sum will amount to
more than what you now pay, But
the debt of the city he said would al.
ways increase with its wealth or popu
lation, and that increase would not on
ly be in proportion to the number bnt
also per head. The speaker predicted
the election Of Mr.. Lichtenstsin by
large majority and also expressed "a in.
cere wish for his own and he thanked
his friends and the Republican party
for giving him the nomination.

that the vessel is designed for the fruit

statement is positive one and comes
rom sources which give it an authen-

statement of Mr. Gibbons, to the effect
that the boat is built for the Vene-

the revenue service. The launch was
a pretty one and was witnessed by
