Democratic Clerks in Government De-
partments.
WASHINGTON, July THE statement is
made that of 45 clerks in the First Auditors
office, not more than twelve ever VOTE and of
these one-third never voted the Republican
ticket SThere are four chiefs of divisions. Two
Of them were appointed as Democrats before
the war, and have no Republican influence
and never voted Republican ticket. They
motions on recommendations of the Auditors
of late. Three of these only had served in the
army and only four ever voted at all. In the
Navy Department it is charged that the chiefs
Of divisions, who were all naval officers, have
appointed few but Democrats, and that there
are not Is reliable Republicans in the whole
department. AS to the War Department, it is
said that a Hancock club could be organized
there without any trouble whatever, giving
the Presidency of it to $1,000 clerk, who dur
ing the war was sentenced to the Albany peni-
Tertiary, having pleaded guilty before mill
tary tribunal to robbing the sick and dying
soldiers in the hospitals of the country. The
secretaryship of the club could go to a neatly
dressed Democratic clerk who Killed Lin
coin hireling" in drunken brawl during the
war and was pardoned out by President John
son; while Democratic iofhceholders can be
found in abundance in that anomalous brigade
called the General Service Bureau. 1.-THE
woods are full of them" In the census office
it is said that three cheers and tiger were
given IN one Of the rooms when Hancock s
nomination was announced. This, too, in
branch Of the service too pure and lofty to de-
scend to the level of politics, but which is
crowded to overlooking with red hot rebel
post office there are some nice young men of
respectable Southern fam lies who are hurrah-
ing for Hancock, and who are not afraid of re-
moval at present.

GOOD GOVERNMENT THE CHEAPEST,
1t should be born in mind that extrav
agance does not make government bet
ter, more agreeable or attractive. There
Is no compensation from it to the tax
payer; On the contrary, the gentleman
who paid $1,000 in city takes two years
ago, last year on the same bills he paid
about $500; and this year he will pay
about $500. Here is saving which en-.
riches him, and takes nothing from tbe
general Golfers of the government, be
cause the city government is actual,
better than it was before the Democrat,
came into power. There is less disorder
less drunkenness; the public duties ar,
better fulfilled, and larger revenue tt
the city from this source by more thai
two to one than ever. The publ
property is better kept; there are NOR,
city improvements made and last of all
though not by any means least, the pub
lie health is better looked after. TIL,
poisonous substances that flowed int,
the Brandywine water, by the permis
sion of the Republican council so long
berause they were emptied into it by
Republican manufacturers, has been Al
last remedied under our cheaper Demo
cratic government. As it takes "brains'
to make good, cheap government, oul
people must of necessity come down to
the conclusion that the "braihs" are will
the Democrats; surely there is dem.
onstration of the want of "brains" b,
the Republican councilmen and Repub
lican press, that have been predicting SC
long that the Democrats would run the
city into a floating debt of $4,000 OF
$50, 1000, because they reduced the taxes
and economical the expenditures. In

ONE OF our Wilmington contempo-
raries rehashes the slang of some of
the larger metropolitan journals, in
which it is asserted that "a general
"feeling that the Delaware Senator is
too decent gentleman and too re-
spectacle to be chosen by this Con-
"vention as the standard bearer of the
democratic party, is gaining ground,
"and while every one seems to concede
"his strength at the commencement of
'the balloting, his nomination is now
"by no means certain, in fact, the pre-
''ponderance of opinion seems to be
"iust the opposite, !. g., that his vote
twill begin to fall off after the second
"ballot, and that but a few, if any,
"will stick to him until the last.'
Now, so far as we can see, the re-
verse of that is the truth. The Della
ware Senator appears to be gain
ing ground steadily, and his chances
for nomination since the Convention
has assembled has immensely in
creased. What the result will be no
one can predict. But the withdrawal
OF MIR. Tilden has evidently placed
Delaware's choice in the van. The fact
that Charles O'Conor, of New
York, and Henry Watterson, Of
Kentucky, both of whom had IA
vored Mr.. Tilden until the latter
withdrew, have come out in favor
of Mr.. Bayard shows that his chances
have greatly increased. No doubt
many other gentlemen who were
favorable to the nomination of Mr.
Tilden have also changed to Mr..
Bayard.
When the Convention assemblies
to-day, and the balloting commences,
better opportunity will be had to
determine the strength in votes of the
different gentlemen. But even then
it will be difficult to determine any,
thing as to the final result, if the Re-
publican convention is criterion.
A clark horse" may upset all the
present calculations as with the
Republicans, Notwithstanding there
is no signs of such action now visible.
The daily gazette., 1880-06-23

THE full measure Of the delight of
the Republican press at the withdraw
al of Mr.. Tilden, will not be witnessed
until after the Convention adjournG
Then the man whom they have helped
John Kelly to drive from the race will
be held up as the ''greatest Roman of
them ALL" and the Democrats will be
told that they were fools to believe
what they had written against Tilden.

SHIPBUILDING ON THE
DELAWARE.
From the North American,

The ability of our Delaware ship
builders to compete successfully with
their foreign rivals has lately been
shown in the case of a Wilmington
firm which has received a British
contract, on the ground of cheapness
over all competition. This is the
sort of enterprise that is required to
give courage to American capitalists
to invest in the fleets of sea-going
vessels built to fheir orders in the
ship-yards on the Delaware. There
is really nothing whatever to pre-
vent our successful competition, but
the fear OF our own people of the
formidable superiority of foreign
capital.
