From the North Amerlssn

From the North AmerisSn
The result of ths1ocal election in thu
city Of Wilmington is encouraging tc
those we'll wishsrs Of the State Of Della
ware who have long deplored the
strange ascendency of reactionsry Dem
ocracy In the peninsula. The institu'
ton OF slavery never had a very consid
erable hold upon Delaware, but sligh,
as 1t was, 1t has always been sufficient
TO govern the political tcne Of the Com
mon wealth, both before and since
emancipation. But why the city Of
Wilmington has suffered the Democratic
party TO control its affairs in the inter
est Of free trade, while the city has
been so largely devoted TO shipbuilding
ard manufactures, Lss always been q
mystery.
Had 1t not been for that unfortunate
political tone, northern capital would
long since have made Wilmington a
city Of three or four times its present
magnitude, and given greater scope and
expansion to Its railway interests and
its shipbuilding industries. To the
average Democratic mind the interest
Of Wilmington has always seemed to
lie in assuming to be In some sort an
Industrial and commercial rival Of
Philadelphia, while the Republicans Of
Wilmington were very well aware that
the merchants, capitalists, railway
companies, bankers and manufactur-
ers Of Philadelphia we're continuously
anxious f,r the rapid enlargement Of
all the interests Of Wilmington, know
ing, as they did, that all these inter.
ests must naturally bs tributary to
Philadelphia.
Wilmington must net expect the cap.
italists of the seaboard States to invest
their money increasingly in the estab-
lishment Of vast shipbuilding interests
on the Christians, and to patronizs the
productions Of those yards already there
II the city and State shall remain devo
ted to the free-trade Democracy, and
servilely obedieut TO the behests Of the
cotton oligarchy Of the Gulf States
against the interests built up and main
tained In the State Of Delaware by
northern capital and enterprise. There
can be no sort of question that II the
State Of Delaware were as strongly and
permanently republican as this state, the
overhlowing population and capital of
this metropolis would gladly and eager
" engage In all kinds of enterprises to
develop the resources and to build up
the prosperity OF the peninsula. In
Philadelphia we all feel that this Is q
matter Of vital interest. We regard
the State of Delaware as our quarry,
quite as much as we do Bucks county,
or Chester, or Montgomery, or the
neighboring district Of New Jersey.
Hence it would give our people the
greatest pleasure to be able to make
Republican Wilmington the equal Of
Newark, N. j., during the ensuing de-
cade.

and the female dssperadoes wanted it..
A pc idler had stoppsd at the house in

women entered the house and attacked
the woman with knives. Her screams

ly and woundiGg the other. The lady
of the house died from her wounds be.

The pemoersiic Nomination ON

Turner sweeps tbe CIty-Psstis o.

toss I'm some of the wards-rhe
Returns.
The Democratic nomination election
came of on Saturday with the usual
number Of drunken brawls. and the
usual amount Of dissatisfaction, Incl.
dent upon the announcement Of the re-
suit. The candidates selected were for
Senator, Representative and Levy
Court and as all three were active lively
contest arose. The result was the
nomination Of Martin Farrell for Levy
Court, Harry Turner for Representa-
tive and Parke Postles for Senator.
The happiest man in the trio is Far
rell, who now claims that he and the
overall City Executive Committee have
been vindicated. The City Ring, on
the other hand are depressed and de-
clare that they will mot support Far
rell, bat will even vote against him,
in case the present existing talk Of an
independent candidate falls through.
The friends Of Mr.. ]. W. Ware are also
threatening 10 bolt the ticket, owing to
alleged unfairness and trickery resort
cd to by General POstles In securing
the nomination.
The disturbances at the polls we're
not confined to any particular wards,
but we're general almost all over the
city. A: the First and second Ward
polls number Of fights occurred, and
once or twice riots were narrowly y avoid
ed. The brawls were caused in the
main by the lowest bummers in the
city who were pressed into service by
certain Jealous candidates. The work
OF these fellows was very Elective.
The tables given below will Intelligent
ly convey the result.
