Tenth ward-DKNNis j. N NToN w."

me Democratic Council ticket Is
perhaps the best that has been put III
nomination in Wilmington mum
Der Of years, and taking them on the
whole we never felt more fully sat'shed
Nth the character and standing Of the
men, nor more fully certain that the
Democrats would carry al the Demo-
cratic wards with increased majoritles.
EVERY COOP CITIZEN in the land
must feel hope and utter an inward
prayer that Rev l. 5. Kalloch will not
de. Tie love the good bear the whole
country must produce this thought or
feeling. For any work Of wickedness,
or mob violence must be regretted b,
every good man, whether 1t take place
in San Francisco, in his own town, or Ill
any other place. Not that every good
citizen is bound to take an interest in
Kalloch or his party. But that he loves
tho country Of his nativity or his adop
ton, and wishes it to be free from all
such disgraceful disturbances. This be-
ing admitted, it must also be admitted
that no good citizen can approve act
which brou.h about the dangerous cir
cumst ances that produce the anxiety and
the inward prayer fr the extension OF
this mans life until the danger TO tn
pace shall have passed away, and the
a,gry passions aroused by the atrocious
and cowardly act can have time 10
subside.
Perhaps it is fair to lay to the charge
Of communities any defects of candida e,
for Office that may appear to those OF
opposite opinions. But if it is fair then
San Francisco and the wUrkirgman' 5
party are not exceptions. For if what
men say be true and men of the candi-
dates own party, then Phi adelphia and
the Republican party there is just as bad
as San Francisco aud the workngmens
party. For worse and mo disreputable
men than Bill Mann and Bill McMullen,
do not live and enjoy the company OF
respectable people than these two men,
who were both only rece tly candidates
for election by their respective parties
Kalloch did outwardly practice virtu,
and preach religion; but the two meI
(and we only take them as samples
there are plenty more such,) practicet
virtue nowhere, if We are to credit th,
statements made of them by men of botl
political parties, and men too who vote,
fT them. Is, therefore, Philadelphia
with all her great benificiaries to be con
demned and charged as semi-civilize
because of the low vices of her cand
dates for Office? If so, then may Sa
Francisco and the wo:kingmen's part
be liable to such gross and unwarrante
charges rs the Philadelphia newspape
have been heaping upon them. "
have not q word to say in defense
the resort to the low and vulgar abu
which was uttered by De Young agai
KallOch's father, and by Kalloch agar
De Young's mother. One man had
much right to defend the ashes of
dead father as the other had to defe
the reputation of his living moth
The inception of the unmanly a co
ardly reference was with De Young; a
he disgraccd and injured his mother a
her good name far more by becom
himself cowardly and sneaking ass
sin, than the repetition and rehasbins
the vile story by Kalloch ever could h
done.
This terrible and revolving affair is
one that we take any pleasure
dwelling upon but it seems to us t
tho workingmen of America have b.
made the subject of unwonttd abu
thst the great newspapers that Ell
revenue. making their owners incoI
equal to. the princely fortunes of Eur
have lost all friendship for the work
m.n, and begun to regard them pr
much - the London Times does
subjects of the realm, of no acco
until the election day comes aror
which in this country changes the tor
the newspapers just when the impor
day 10 approaching. Then they are

they should be. The "workingman

Francisco; be is the farmer as wei
the mechanic, IS the last election pro
They'd not propose to iujure SOC
but 10 benefit it by elevating this g
important and necessary class, whi'
she major part of tho whole people.
Kalloch made q great mistake in
reply TO De Young; and it is str'
