For the Gazette.

MIR. EDIToR:-I send you a ticket
and the only kind voted in this Hun
dred last Saturday. The Democrats OF
this Hundred have for over forty years
been foremost in expressing them
selves in favor of all nominations by
ballot, and ! do not suppose there are
half dozen Democrats in it favorable
to the contemplate tyranical PROPOSE
ton presented to the last county meet
ing as follows: That there should be
sixty delegates, 10 from Wilmington,
and from each of the other Hun
dreds, making go; and that no odds
who the delegates from any Hun
dred recommended, tile whole 80
should act and determine on the can
didates for the Legislature and Levy
Court, in every Hundred, therefore, If
the people in any Hundred thought
we'll of man for Legislature Or Levy
Court, and sent B delegates unanimous,
the trickster or ring orjunta could
throw the choice out if they doubted
his subservepcy to their schems, and
nominate man for said Hundred who
would act as their tool in the Legisla-
ture or Levy Court. This monstrous
proposition, hope, has been effectu-
ally killed in Wilmington and other
Hundreds as it has been here in Ap-
poquinimink Hundred, for she is de-
termined to vote for no man for Sheriff
or Coroner, or member of the Legisla-
ture, or Levy Court, unless he has
been nominated by ballot, where the
poor man and voter has as much to
say in the nomination as the rich man
and whether we go for the rights of
the white masses and the will of the
majority; and we will not put up with
compromising tricks of the enemies of
the poor white voters rights in the
Democratic party of New Castle coun-
ty. The Democratic voters in this
county in the last four years have de-
cided twice at an election by ballot,
that they are in favor of nominating
members of the Legislature and Levy
Court by ballot as well as Sheriff, Cor
oner and the enemies Of the rights of
the Democratic masses had now better
submit to their defeat, unless they are
determined to break up the Democra-
tic party. Your tricks and schemes
are well understood, and either submit
to the voice of the majority of the
Democratic party, or hoist your aris-
tocratic standard of revolt so we may
deal with you accordingly.

Our chapel was dedicated yesterday

did sermons, full of gifted thought and
noble sentiment, were preached by
Rev. DR.. Lannahan, of Washington,

DIR. Stevenson had charge of the

Like every other person who ever
bathed at Rehoboth feel compelled to
add my testimony to the excellence of
the beach and the surf Such another
smooth beach and nice even surf don't
exist at any other place along the At

A special stockholders meeting is to
be held here on Thursday, to settle the
question whether or not RehOboth
shall i'll the future be known as a dis
tinctively religious resort.
The plan is to SO amend the clause
in the charter prohibiting amusements
inconsistent with Christian morality

Inconsistent with morality"
Here's the biggest difference | ever
heard of "twixt tweedle dunn and

According to "morality as taught by
the discipline, 1t is wicked to dance,
fiirt, roll the festive billiard ball, and
indulge in mild doses of Apollinaris
water and whiskey.
Yet these are the chief attractions
of the average watering place
Now it is proposed to establish
code of morality that will allow Reho-
both TO indulge in there seaside luxu-
ries.
The Appollinaris water and whis-
key, | may state, will not be intro
duced for some time to come. No,
not oven the light and frothy lager will
be thought of for year, at least.
However, there is a leaven ofstauneh
religion in the Board of Directors that
will not allow the reli 1ious aspect of
Rehoboth to be relinquished without
struggle and will fight manfully
against all sinful Innovations.
If the worlds people triumph at

Harris IN Chester.

John H. Harris, the Virginia negro,
who claims to be democrat was in
Chester on Saturday last. He obtained
a letter OF introduction to j. V. McGeos-
hehan, Esq, chairman of meeting at a
democratic pole raising, TO whom he
presented his credentials. He was given
seat on the platform, but was not per-
mitted to speak. A number of colored
men were at the meeting in the expecta-
tion or hearing Harris speak, and after
the me ting was over they followed him
to salooI where he sought refuge, and
remained until tram time. Evidently
Chester is no place for Harris.

LAcKAwANNA CO., Aug. 7, 1880.
The winter of 10 and 80 was not of
its usual severity in this section of our
country, and consequently most of the
farmers in this valley were unable to
fill their ice houses, but, as we have
quite pleasant Summer, the want of
this luxury is not so much felt, indeed,
except in the middle of the day and
these were but few. There has been no
hot weather yet. The morning and
evenings are cool enough to make a
thick coat quite comfortable. Provi-
dence has greatly favored the farming
interests in this section of the State
by granting plentiful supply to all
it's interests the grain and grass were
quite an average, and the oats, some
think, the finest ever raised. The
shorn fields have had fair supply of
rain to promise good pasturage and
what is still in the ground, corn and
potatoes bid fair to be abundant. The
coal interests have not been SO favor
Ell, the mines for some time have only
worked at half time, which makes it
rather dull for the poor miner. The
fire that has been burning for some
years in the old Butler mine not far
from PIttston has been virtually put
out or 80 fixed that it is expected to
do SO. The company has cut into it,
SO as to enable them to build wall
and cut off the burning part, which it
is expected will then die out. 1t cost
them about $40, 900 to do it.
The political atmosphere is alive in
prises of "Hancock," all seem to speak
in his praise, even the Republicans ad-
mire him, and possibly not few may
make him their choice. Our friends
think no other nomination would SO
call out the entire strength of the par
ty, and some go so far as to say "they
expect to carry the State" They
laugh to scorn the attempt to make
Gen. Hancock unpopular on the score
Of his want of craftsmanship, as COM
pared to Gen. Garfield, and believe it
will take more sophistry than the lead
ers of the republicans possess, to make
the people hesitate between the choice
of man who avows himself IN favor
of carrying on our government by the
laws established by the constitution,
and supported Ivy the virtues of the
people and one who expects if elected
to use the whole force of the army and
navy in doing so. The one evinces
the spirit of an autocrat, and the other
that of u Democrat, and they know
who will make the best statesman.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-09-18

1t pleases the so called independent
press to sniff at the Republican fears
of a Solid Southern ascendancy, and
to say that the Republicans them-
selves have no faith in their own
charges and are only making them
for campaign purposes. The same
sniffers were in similar state of
mind when the Maine conspiracy
was fol etold. but they had nothing to
say when the plot was unfolded.
Nothing which has been charged
against the South is more pre-
posterOus or more disgraceful to
us as Americans than this
Maine business was. Yet the
Democrats not only stopped to that
meanness, but declines to be asham.
ed Of it to-day, and defends it on the
stump and supports its perpetrators
for Office. Has the South shown any
finer feelings of honor? Is 1t pre-.
postsrous to say that a section which
will stuff ballot boxes and stuff the
census will be too high. toned to get
its claims paid out of the Treasury
and to demand remuneration for its
slaves?

ship. This statement caused Angus.
tus G. Lindsey, of Somerville, whO
was private soldier in Torbert's
brigade, to write to his old comman.
der and learn the truth. The follow.
ing Is copy of the reply he received :
MILFORD. Del, Aug. II, 1880.
Mr.. augustus C. LindsLey:
DEAR SIR:-On my return home
yesterday from Colorado 1 found
your kind letter of July 20. i ain
always glad to hear from one Of the
old First New Jersey Brigade, and
you talk to the point politically, Just
rs the old brigade used to fight. l
have known Gen. Hancock for %
years and like him, but l can't stand
the company, politically, that he is
with. l hope no Republican of the
old brigade will desert Garfield, for
this fight is about as important as
any we mad between 1860 and 1865.
l wish our friends in New Jersey
every success for the national and
State ticket. Your friend and old
cOmrade.
A. 7. A. ToRBERT.
This is an open letter to the sur
yivors of the old First New Jersey
Brigade, and is probably the last
politically utterance of the gallant
Torbert. 1t was written on the 18th
of August. On the 25th he sailed for
Havana, and three days afterward
his body was found on the coast OF
Florida.
