wILMINGrON's MAYL>sss.
"a List OF OuR CIty's Chief Ma<is'
trssss stnse tine Inssrp0rati0n IN
IR32.

1889.
An old citizen looking at the list o
the Mayors OF Wilmington has recalled
to mind the exciting political changes
which popular sentiment rang in oul
city during the old days 10 which tn.
memory OF the present generation sci
dom runs. He who did not live during
that period cannot helu bat be inter
ested and wonder at the rise and fall o.
party power and the changes in partie:
in the city.
From 1882 TO 1850 the Mayors were
elected by City Council. The term Oi
Office was one year and the incumbent
was eligible to reelection. The frs,
City Council after the Act Of Ineorpora.
tion was passed was Whig aud Richard
H. Bayard was elected. The next yeal
the Democrats came into power and
elected Nicholas G., williamson. The
Democratic regime continued eight
years and Williamson was kept in the
office the whole time. No one knows
how much longer he could have filled
the position had not the Wings beer
victorious in 1913.
The law was changed in 1850 and
aimee then the election has been left ID
the people. John NJ. Turner, was the
only one who was chosen by City Coun.
Gil, and he was selected in 1853 to fin
ish the unexpired term Of Vincent G.
Gilpin who died in that year, having
been in the Office since 1850.
The complete list is as follows:
lS32-Richard Il. Bayard, Wing.
1s34-Nicholas G.. Williamson, Dem.
ocrat.
1S4s-David C. Wilson, Democrat.
1845-Alexander Porter, Democrat.
lS4s-William huntington, Democrat
1S50-Joshua e. Driver, Wing.
1S51-Columbus P. Evans, Wing.
1852-William Henphill Jones
Democrat. ..
1e53-John C. Allerdioe, Wing.
1s54-James F. Hayward, Temper
ance and know-nothing.
1S5s-William B. Virgins, Know.
Nothing.
1s5S-William Huntingdon, Democrat
ls57-George W. Sparks, Peoples
party.
l85S-Thomas Young, Democrat.
1sG0-Vincent c. Gilpin, Republican
18s3-John NJ. Turner, Republican
1SS5--Joshua karis, Republican.
1861. L. Valentine, Republican,
ls72-Joshua L. Simm, Democrat.
l975-Wm. G. Whiteley, Democrat.
lS7S-John P. Almond, Democrat.
The above list is conducive to good
many interesting reflections. The last
Mayor elected by City Council was Will
liam Huntington, well and favorably re-
membered by the "old inhabitant." 2"
That was in 164s. Right years later he
was again elected by the people. The
party which elected James +. Hayward
was an amalgsmation Of the temper
anoe and know nothing factions. Tit
temperance portion was the larger, bu
| 1t was the outgrowth of excitement ant
soon subsided, leaving the know
nothings in the field one year later
The know. nothing party went to stick
the next year when the Democrat!
elected Huntingdon, and the People,
Party sprang up in 1857 and elected
Sparks. This organization was one O.
mushroom growth and the Republican,
swallowed it up after that. One cannot
help but notice that from 1850 to 1855
there was . new Mayor every year, nc
incumb bent holding over.

The Whitaker Case.

The West Point outrage, for the true in
wardness of which the public have been so
long waiting, is nearing a solution, so far as
this examination goes. The public mind
would rest good deal easier were there
good reason to look for an unprejudiced re-
port in the end. The finding of the court
will be given to General Schofield under
seal. He may review it and make it public,
or transmit it unopened to the war depart
ment. Cadet Whitaker recently wrote to
the pastor of an African church in Cleveland
which passed kindly resolutions concerning
him; 81 appreciate noble words, kindly
feeling and tender sympathy, for at this try

call you all blessed. regret that duties
and surrounding circumstances prevent a
longer letter from me but though my words

EXODUS REsULTs.-The latest informa-
ton concerning the colored refugees in Kan
sas comes from a correspondent of the Inter
Ocean. They have not found in Kansas all
that it was said they expected, but they have
not been starved nor frozen to death. More
than twenty-five thousand of them are in the
state and none have been dependent upon
the relief committee for more than few
days. Only 1915 have been expended in aid
of more than three thousand who have ar
rived this spring, chiefly from Texas, and
have settled in the southern counties. About
three thousand are in Topeka, where most
of them have found work to do, though it is
not in all cases permanent employment.
They all come without money, and the sue
cess with which they have been distributed
throughout the state and enabled to support
themselves is the best proof that the bust
ness of caring for them has been managed
with honesty, humanity and skill. Their
further immigration into Kansas is discour-
aged, and colored agent has been sent
south to warn them that they must expect
to take care of themselves il they come, and
had better remain where they are. The re-
lief association has managed its affairs with
thrift and discretion. 1t has only one sal
aired officer, and has received thirty thou
sand dollars in the last six months. 1t has
helped twenty-five thousand immigrants, and
has prevented great deal Of suffering.

Preparations for the Convention.

The arrangements as TO the National Re
publican convention to be held in Chicago
next month, are in the hands of Mr.. Henry
Smith, the Chicago agent Of the associated
press, and are as described as follows The
vast amphitheater which has been improvised
in the Exposition building for the accom-
mediation Of the convention does not exhaust
the enormous space embraced by the walls
of the immense building. Some idea Of the
colossal scale of the building may be had
when the fact is stated that the amphithe.
alter alone will accommodate 10000 people.
The arena, so to speak, will contain 1853
delegates, besides ample room for the alter
mates and about 100 spectators, who will
have seats in that portion of the area most
distant from the platform. The terraced
sides of the amphitheater will accommodate
5000 spectators. The floor of the arena is
so sloped as TO permit every delegate to com.
mand an excellent view Of the platform. In
the rear of the presiding officer, and on the
same platform, 500 distinguished visitors
will find seats. On the lower platform i'm.
mediately in front of the president of the
convention, tables will be provided for from
100 to $50 of the most active workers of the
great newspapers of the country.
Besides this, there is on the right of the
president reporters gallery capable of seat
ing $50 persons. This space will be given
up to the use of editorial observers, conven.
ton sketchers and representatives of such
daily papers as do not make extensive tele-
graphic reports. Weekly newspaper men
will have to find seats among the spectators,
but the daily press of the country will be
afforded every possible facility. Both the
American and Western Union companies
will have well-equipped offices on either side
of the stage under the terraced seats of the
amphitheater.
No press tickets will be issued to anybody
till the day before the convention, and the
utmost care will be taken TO insure fairness
in the apportionment Of seats on the platform.
The associated press will make YER
batim report The Chicago Tribune will
put on strong force of shorthand men,
and make an independent report-the only
paper so doing The immense space of the
Exposition building insures plenty of air,
and the arrangements for ventilation are
nearly perfected.
Most of the great hotels have all their
rooms engaged ahead, and charges are based
on the capacity plan that is, room ca
pable of accommodating four persons com
mands rental equal to the usual rate for
one occupant multiplied by four. A few
hotels will rent rooms on demand to the
first corners, but will not engage room to
any one in advance of occupancy, as an
enormous crowd is expected.

NEw JERSEY FOREST FiREs.-The forest fires in
New Jersey recently chronicled had barely been
extinguished when they broke out almost stimuli
taneously in all parts of the state, creating much
greater devastation than before. Their extent
and ferocty stand almost without a parallel, and
the loss of property can hardly be conceived Of
Near Mount Pleasant the losses already amount
To over $4,000, there being nearly two hundred
miles OF burning woods, and, AS there are no in
dications OF rain, the ultimate loss will be i'm
mense. There is a loss Of $4,000 In cranberry
boys alone, while the cedar timber land burned
over was the most valuable in the state. The
gaming ground, with the game, Is totally de-
stroyed Alarming reports are received of fires
south and east They have destroyed everything
in and about Ilammonton, Ellwood and Egg Iiar-
Dor. The atmosphere Is 50 thick with smoke there
is difficulty 10 breathe, The vineyard country
from Atson to Great Egg Harbor is totally de-
stroyed People have given up all hope. They
are Frustrated by fighting the flames and are
helpless with despair Great suffering and misery
will follow,
