The Resuls-The Csty Ticket ~ II
Presents Isself-N essrs. Sharpiey
a0d Guthrie Lead the Party's
Hopes.
In the ten wards Of the city there was
q general turnout among the faithful.
The vote was large for nomination,
and the interest was such that the vir-
tue and good policy of complete or
ganization Of the party came plainly to
the surface. In the Second Ward there
was considerable wrangling among the
voters, and one arrest was made. Col.
Robert Taylor was the candidate for re-
election. Opposed to him was William
p. Windish, who made a determined
fight. Fractional lines were drawn tight
ly, and so bitter were the contending
friends of the candidates that public
averment was made to the effect that
the opponents Of the successful man
would not support the nomination.
VIM. H. Quinn, former temperance
agitatOr, with other ultra men worked
hard for Windish, while the less parti.
zan portion of the people adhered close
ly to Col. Taylor. The effect was Mr..
Taylor was elected. In the Tenth
Ward there was a nomination for coun-
Gilman. There was no opposition and
the considerate Messrs. Dennis J. Men
ton, former councilman, and VIM.
Hanna, ex, chief engineer we're elected.
This is Mr.. Guthrie's Ward, and the
vote was consequently large. Mr.. Guth-
rie's opponents for the city treasurship
we're Edward Farmar and Edward Nc
Intire. Harry Sharpless for President
of City Council had no opposition.
The result of the nomination was re-
ceived on Saturday evening by the COM
mittes appointed by the city Democratic
Association is as follows:
Mr.. Guthrie's majority is $50; while
over Mr.. McIntire he has 742. His
majority over both is 1858. There were
two scattering votes, one for Charles
McCloskey in the Eighth Ward and one
for Archibald Given in the Third Ward.
In the wards wherein Councilmsn
were elected the following was the vote.

Of interest. At 1890 the congregation
assembled to join in the sacred service
of the Holy Communion. J. d. Riggs,
pastor at Newport, Del, was in charge
Of this service. The tender and sleva.
ting power that rested upon the con.
gregation during this service will not
bs forgotten soon. Hundreds Of chris

availed themselves of the delightful
privilege Of this meeting.

of Easton, Nd, preached from the
words Of Paul, "Called to be saints. I"

Yesterday was day of much inter.
est for several reasons, LIST, 1t was Sab

Sd, it was the last day of camp; 4th, 1t
was day Of spiritual power.
At 81 A. M. Rev. A. d. Davis took

remarkable season Of religious interest,
Notwithstanding the rain was falling
continuously. A hundred persons spoke
during the hour.
At l0t a. m, Rev. l.. w. Layfeld
preached from Matt. xvii. Is, to q fine
congregation.
At noon the rain ceased, and riffs in
the clouds were an indication to the
people OF the country round about that

by the hour forthe afternoon preaching
the woods was thronged by thousands.
Rev. T. l.. Tomkinson Of Easton again

North East, preached from Psalm 434,
and the day closed with converts
freshly won from the ranks of sin.
This morning the people met at the

sad Joy seemed to rest upon their hearts
as they sung appropriate hymns and
spoke Of their hopes and fear as to the
future.

Among the leaders the ticket meets
with appreciation and they are jubilant
over the result.
THE PRINCIPAL CANDIDATES.
Mr.. John Guthrie the nominee fol
City Treasurer, is engaged in the retail
grocery business at the intersection o.
Madison and Front streets and Mary
land Avenue, in the Tenth Ward. Ut
to within the last two years he has
lived the life of a retired citizen, taking
no part in politics. Two years ago he
was chosen to succeed Mr.. Thomas
Ford.
The Democrats coming in power he
was chosen chairman of the Finance
Committee and from that time may be
dated his appearance in public affairs.
Where the expression of an opinion
was concerned his colleagues were as
cyphers and in little while he con-
trolled the city financial affairs, and, as
the results of the past few weeks fully
show, turned them in accordance with
is own peculiar idea. His mode of
procedure received the sanction of the
party and his election to the treasurer
ship will secure to the city the full ben
eft of his extremely doubtful policy.
Hon. Harry Sharpley, nominee for
President of City Council is a lawyer
of prominence and recognized through
out the State as a man of considerable
ability. He is of the old Sharpley
family whose progenitors date their in
coming co-eval with the very earliest
record of local or general history, hav-
ing settled in Brandywine hundred in
1852. Mr.. Sharpley was born in the
old homestead. He graduated in two
courses at the Millersville State Nor
NAL School, one in 1869 and the other
in 1871.
He adopted the profession of law and
studied under Mr.. Charles B. Lore, and
was subsequently admitted to the Bar.
He was elected to the State Senate in
1876 and took his seat in 1877. He
was the leading candidate for Speaker
of the Senate at the last session and
would have been chosen to that position
had it not been for an unexpected COM
binatiOn between the undecided sena-
tors for the choice of A. &. Osborne, of
St. Georges Hundred, for Clerk, which
according to the bargain gaveMr. Chas.
Harrington the Speakership.
During the session Mr.. Sharpley was
active and it was through his efforts
mainly that the opposition to the
"court house bill," was weakened, and
its passage thus secured. Mr.. Sharp
ley is the best man whom the Demo.
Gratis could take up and it may be
possible that he will run Mr.. Lichten-
stein, the Republican candidate, very
close.

DOUBTFUL JTSTICE.
Municipal Administration Mixed
With the Jersey Article.

On Thursday evening last was ad
lninistersd special dose of that Justice
which is beginning to have a local r-pn.
tation for popularity and effectiveness,
to say nothing of the suspicious and
doubtful character of its pretention> to
equity and justice. The case was tNls
Frank Kelly, disorderly indvlIu4l,
boarded at the house Of George p. Win.
gate. While there he became disorder
ly, and Mr.. Wingate ordered him from
the premises. He came back and be-
coming very offensive, Mr.. Wingats
had suit entered and the man, Kelly,
was arrested. At the trial the wife of
Mr.. Wingate appeared as witness for
the defeuCe, and said that she thought
her husband was in the wrong. A fine
of 80 cents and cost was imposed on
Kelly. Mr.. Wingate then charged his
wife with disorderly conduct, and her
cousin, Mrs. Annie Black, with being
drunk.
Not having witnesses he failed to
prove the charge and the case was dis
missed and the Mayor without any
warrant by precedent or such as would
be in accordance with the merits of the
case, confined Mr.. Wingate for the pay
ment of the costs, which amounted to
SAP. Mr.. Wingate Indignantly re-
fused to to pay and he was placed in
the cells. He was importuned TO "fork
over but each request was met with
an emphatic refusal until at last find
ing that nothing could be gotten from
him lie was liberated. The moral to be
drawn from the transaction is that
prosecuting witnesses should be care
iul not to bring charges if they would
avoid arrest and imprisonment.

The charge against James was disor

Walnut last Saturday evening. Johl
O'Byrne, ESQ.,, appeared as counsel TO
Mr.. Redman.
Officer Cannon, the complainant, tes
tilted to seeing the man at the Secont
Ward polls last Saturday afternoon
The officer stated that the defsndan
was not resident OF the ward tolC

noise. Defendant said he would stay
as long as he pleased. Witness SAID
the man was making an unusual noise
though could not say what language hi
was using; could not say whether II
was irritating language calculated t.
cause a breach of the peace told the
defendant would arrest him II he did
not leave, when he demanded him tt
make the arrest.
Counssl-Wers you on duty at the
time
Witness-No, sir.
Counsel-What authority had you Il
arrest the man without a warrant!
To this question the officer endeavorsd
to argue with the counsel when the
latter seeing it was useless to put hi:
question asked him if he was not al
the polls as q politician 7
Witness-l was not.
Coansel.-What right had you un-
der oath, If the man had committed
any offense, to let him 20, If he would
leave the polls.
This question the officer was not able
TO answer.
Counsel-Not knowing what the mar
said, how do you know it was offensive
or otherwise
Witness-I could not say what the
language was.
Counsel-Wers there any other off
GERS at the polls
Witness-No sir.
Counsel-To Mr.. Quinn-How many
officers were present.
Mr.. Quinn-Four: Gutchmer, Legg,
Mccormick and Cannon.
Counsel-Were not three officers
present at the pollsY
Witness-Thers were during the day
but not at that particular moment.
William Bareford testified to being
present at the Second Ward polls,
when q young man came to vote on age.
His vote was challenged. Defendant
objected to his vote and said the young
man was not 81. Witness told the de.
fendant he had no right at the polls,
and told him 70 go away, when defend.
ant replied, I" will go away when |

Counsel-Now be honest Did YOU

would go away from the polls when you

Witness-l may have said 80.
Tne defendant had several witnesses,
but the counsel thought it was unne.
cessary to proceed further with the
case, as he contended that there was
no offence laid out. Counsel contended
that citizen had right to go to the
polls and look on, and object to voter
non resident Of the ward.
Acting Mayor O'Neill was of the
opinion that an officer had right to
arrest man at the polls ii he was an
noying anyone, but in this case he said
there was not sufficient evidence to hold
the defendant, and he, therefore, dis.
