noise Of boistssous mirth and music
greeted the ears Of the suffering patients
who required quistness and comfort. II
was then that Illicit amours Of which
We have had such scandalous develop
ment Of late, became not the exception,
but the order Of the day. The CORY
locks Of the City Hospital cannot b
shaken in the face Of the Republican
party, and It cannot s.said oft" thou
didst it,"
Notwithstanding the disgrace int
which the City Hospital has fallen prin
Icipally under Democratic rule, We arr
still convinced that City Hospital fol
Wilmington removed from political
influences and not made subject e
changes every time party wins OF
loses, would be a noble institution. The
great mistake WAS in not placing 1t In
the hands of board Of Physicians and
citizens when It was first organized,
and which was the object when the
subject Of . City Hospital was first
troached, but for the sake Of the credit
and morality ofths city Of Wilmington,
at the present. time, We join in demand
ing the abolition of tho present City
Hospital, and If the city must have
one let another be instituted On differ
ereut hasis.
Daily Republican., 1879-11-03
IT'S n Democratic Ulcer.

IL don't make any difference who OF
what party was responsible for the IS.
Establishment of the City Hospital, the
object was a good one, and had it been
properly conducted it would to-day
have been blessing instead Of curse
to the city. At the time of its estab-
lishment, Democrats az we'll as Repub-
licans favored it, az the votes in the
City Council will show. William II.
Quinn from the Second Ward, was then
Democratic leader in Council, and we
believe he yet claims the credit Of be.
ing mainly instrumental in setting the
institution On itsl feet. Mr.. Quinn was
warmly supported by other Democratic
me IN bers of Council, and there we're
Republican members Of Council who
opposed it. We cannot then see how
the City Hospital can consistently be
called one Of the ulcers that belong to
the past political, regime of the Repub
lcan party, and the editor of the paper
that calls it a Republican ulcer must
DO 50 accustomed to stirring up ulcers
that he no doubt thinks every thing Is
an NJ slightly ulcer but himself. We
do not claim for the City Hospital the
best Of management on the part o
all the Republican Superintendents
who have had charge Of it, but we
know that there are two Of them at
least against whom NO Encouragement
could be charged, and we believe that
we can truthfully say the same of one
of the Democrats who was in charge Of
it year, It is left, however, for the
Hospital to degenerate into its present
ulcerous state by purely Democratic
administration, with Mr.. Lynch who
was looked upon as one Of the purest
and best Democrats in Council as chair
man of the Hospital Committee, and
Mr.. W. II. Lee, ex-clerk Of the City
Council, as Superintendent. Whatever
the Hospital had been before the new
"regime" which. makes 1t an ulcer Il
the City Of Wilmington, was commenced
purely under Democratic auspices. l
, was then that it became the place TO
holding feasts, land INDUCING in drunk

SATURDAY NIGHTS accident, Of which
full details are given in our local col
umns, can hardly be said to have been
caused by criminal carelessnsss.
though there does appear to have been
want of that care and understanding
which is necessary to the security Of
human life. There was evidently a
reticencs on the part Of some Of the
witnesses, but from the evidence given
at the inquest, it looks as If the whole
affair was caused by misunderstsnd-
ing between the conductors OF the re-
spective shifters, and shows very fully
that more care should b. exercised in
the transmission of intelligence be-
tween engineers, conductors and others
in charge Of engines and trains. That
the terrible accident could and should
have been averted is now plain to
every body, and it would have been just
as plain before as after the accident had
. little more prudence and caution been
used. No doubt the railroad company
will give the affair thorough sitting,
and though the lives of those who were
the victims of Saturday nights mistake
cannot be restored, such precautions
will be adopted as will prevent further
accidents from such causes. There is
no railroad company in the country
that has less accidents than the =. W.
& B company through the carelessness
of its employees, but as such accidents
will happen to the best Of companies,
the p. W. & B. can hardly be expected
to be- entirely exempt from them. The
three employees Of the road killed were
young men Of responsibility, one Of
them leaving a wife and two children,
and to their relatives the greatest
sympathy should be extended.
