How the Negro Husband OF II White
Ciergyman's Daughter Was Kc-
CeIyed At Hih MLfe,s HONG.

CHICAGO, Sept. 0.-One day last week
negro named Sam Monroe was married al
Galesburg ILL.,, TO Miss Nettie Chase, highly
educated daughter of the late Dir. Chase,
rector of the Episcopal church at that place.
Monroe had acted az coachman for the Young
womans mother, and by some means exerted
such influence over the girl as to persuade her
to become his wife. The couple departed
from Galesburg and were found in negro's
cabin about ten mile distant from that town
The girl was taken care of and the negro
was locked up on a charge of larceny. Excite
ment ran high in the town for several DAYS.
as the girls brothers and sisters move in the
highest circles. This morning Miss Chase's
brother undertook to remove her to PEORIA
preparatory to sending her to distant State
Monroe, who was ont on bail, and who had
freely boosted of his conquest, appeared at
the depot and demanded an interview with
his wife. Approaching one If her brothers,
whom he addressed as Brother Horace he
was promptly knocked down.
Monroe then drew a revolver and some
body in the crowd placed similar weapon in
the irate brothers Lands. Chase shot first
and the negro fled. Another bullet followed
him, grazing his cheek and passing through
the arm Of bystander. Chase was then
arrested, the negro escaping unframed. The
Chases went to Peoria on the next train, but
when the brothers return it is expected that
the trouble will be renewed

Inc Republican nomination election IN
Saturday resulted, on the whole, IN excel
lent nominations Nj Belts, who is
nominated for the Senate, ia well known
business man, and President of the First
National Bank. He il all intense Repub.
lican, but qleerly enough Band.doliar

Greenbgcks, which is certainly queer
slant for Republican bank president.
He is d man OF the highest
character, and the only opposition to him
will be political. Mr.. Bradford the nom
inee for Representative, is one of the most
respected Of the younger members of our
bar, and though strong Republican is
not much Of a politician, aud would, if
elected, make most capable member Of
the House We doubt If it would have
been possible for his party to make
better nomination. Colonel Febiger,
who is nominated for Levy Court, is
man of character and standing, though,
as will be remem bersd, lie showed himself
very determined partisan of Gallagher
in the Old ring fight He doubtless knows
by this time that tie backed the wrong
man in that affair, and if elected no one
questions that lie would make capable
aad honest Levy Court Commissioner.
The party has not been equally fortu-
nate in its nomination for assessor Of
the Northern district, but that district
being considered safe, anyhow it could
afford to be less particular in the choice Of
candidate. In the country districts, 50
far as we know the men nominated,
they strike us as very excellent can

men of ability and excellent character

Boston has just been celebrating the two
hundred and fiftieth anniversary of its
settlement. Cannot Wilmington prepare
to do likewise in 1888? The first settle
ment here was made by the Swedes, at
The Rocks ION the property now occu-
pied by the Mccullough Iron Company,
in 1885, SO that our quarter millenary will
be completed in eight years. Why not
have fitting celebration of the event |?
The matter is worth thinking about, as
there are very few places in America
which eau so closely follow Boston
in this matter, The settlement at
The Rocks ID now in the very heart of the
city, though it was regarded as outside it
when the second settlement was made
along the present Market street, in 1892.
This was chartered by George II, as the
borough of Wilmington, in 1889. The
true date of the city's settlement is, how
ever, that of the settlement at The Rocks
as the occupation was continuous and the
present Old Swedes' Church was founded
there in 1898, long before the second set
tlement was made. Wilmington may, then,
Justly claim to be two hundred and
forty two years old and it can celebrate it'
first quarter of millenary in 1888.

The Presidential outlook.

Whatsser NAV be the exact result Of the
suspiciously prolonged counting in Maine
we think those Democrats who infer from
the result thers that that State is doubt
full one ia the Presidential contest are
over ssneuine The only hope they could
have of defeating the Republican electoral
ticket would BE- by division with the
eerbsckers and 1t is not 80 certain that
such fusion would command the same
support as was given the fusion IN State
issues But though The overthrow of the
Republican majority of $1,000 il Maine
does not give the Democrats any surety Of
any of the electoral VOTES from that State,
the evidence it gives that the Republican
party has lost instead OF gained strength
with the people during the paat
four years does encourage many shrewd
and unexcitable Democrats to expect sddi-
tional electoral votes elsewhere. TIE
Republicans held several states in 1876 by
very slender majorities; illinois by 1871,
Ohio by 2,7+7, Oregon by 547, California,
by 2 1888 Ia Illinois the small Republican
majority is accounted for by the casting of
II 233 Greenback votes, aud no one can
tell hoS they will be cast this year, though
az an opposition party the disposition of
the Greenbackers il doubtless TO ally
themselves with the Democrats in Repub-
liean states just as it is to ally themselves
with the Republicans in Democrat states.
II all were to 90 to the Democrats, how
ever, in illinois, they would not give them
the state unless they also gained votes
from the Republicans
In Ohio, however, the Republican
majority in 1876 was realty small one
being but . IA while tue Greenbacli vote
there was but =, 051 and there was Tenn
persnce vote of 1896 and &c scattering
There ,s no possibility of the Greenbsck
votes there going TO the Republicans and
giving them the whole Temperance vote
the majority would be less than 5000 in a
total vote of Cos 6ia which is certainly

A correspondent OF the NeDs without
the shadow of excuse or authority applies
Senator Bayard's allusion to the crowd
headed by negro band ard composed
largely Of negroes, which ran about the
streets on the night of the city election,
to the parade of Republican clubs which
took place few nights atterwerd. We
presume no one who heard the speech
had any doubt a. to what crowd Mr..
Bayard alluded 10, and we cannot
believe that the NeOs correspondent is
honestly mistaken in the matter. The
same correspondents remarks about the
superiority Of the Republican party of
this city are rather amusing in the face Of
the fact that very decided majority of the
white people of Wilmington vote the other
way. Again in the Eighth ward, to which
allusiou is made, it is notorious fact that
some Of the worst rowdies ever known in
the peiRhbood of the Old Church are
active workers for the Republican party
aud some OF them were bsiled out to
enable them TO continue work by
prominent Republicans on the day of the
city election.
We have not shadow OF doubt that
there are plenty of rowdies and of low and
ignorant people who vote the Democratic
ticket, but every person not wilfully blind
knows that there are also plenty of the
same sort who vote the Republican ticket,
and that considering the absolute depend
ence of the latter party or the negro vote
| for any hope of majority in this city, il
is very foolish indeed to institute {
comparison between tho character anC
intelligence of the two parties taken as
whole. Both Of them are abundant,
furnished with men who do not contribut,
much to the purity and cleanli
ness Of politics. That yer.
large number of our bank direc
tors and other representative
of capital are Republicans is doubles
true, and this merely illustrates the dis
position of additionally timid capital t
ally itself with power. Why 1t should b
an argument in favor of popular supper
of party it would bother a wiser ma
than the NeUs correspondent to tell.
