principles are impaired to the rising gen.
Grafton are very successful. In Chicago

DEATH OF JAS. A. PLUNKETT.

James A. Plunkett, City Auditors
Clerk, died at his residence, No. 626
w. Second street, At 2 80 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, of hemorrhage of
the lungs. Mr.. Plunkett had been
unwell for some time, and the severe
fall from the cars he sustained while
returning from his recent visit to
Frederick City and Hagerstown, Md,
doubtless accelerated his end. His ill
ness, however, did not take an alarm
ing character until Sunday morning,
when he was attacked by two severe
hemorrhages. Another followed yes
terday morning, which SO weakened
him that death soon ensued.
Mr.. Plunkett was about AZ years
old, and was a son of Philip Plunkett,
a well known resident of this city. At
the time of his death he was City Au-
ditor's Clerk, which position he had
held since May, 1879. He also served
about nine months as clerk of the
Registry Bureau. In politics he was
an ardent Democrat, and always took
an active part in city and State cleo
tions. He was well liked and had
many warm friends. He leaves wife
and four children.

A PLUCKY OFFICER.
POLICEMAN oHAMBERs KNOCKED DOWN
AND BEATEN BY A BURLY NEGRO.

POLICEMAN CHAMBERs KNOCKED DOWN
AND BEATEN BY BURLY NEGRO.
A colored man named Reed, called
at the police station last evening, and
swore out warrant against a negro
named Eugene Cooper, charging him
with assault and battery.
The warrant for Cooper's arrest was
placed in the hands of officer Cham
bsrs, who accompanied by the assault
ed man proceeded to hunt Cooper up.
They first visited Hedgeville but fail
ing to find him there the officer con-
cluded to visit Cooper's house which
is situated in the rear of Taylor's mo-
rocco factory on Fourth street, between
Madison and Monroe. Here he was
successful as the negro was at home,
and no doubt from his actions after
wards was ON the alert. AS soon as
the officer demanded admittance the
negro ran up stairs and hid under a
bed. Officer Chambers entered the
house, and accompanied by a colored
man carrying a lamp proceeded up
stairs after the fugitive Upon being
told to come out from under the bed
he declined, saying he had to die but
once and he might as well die then and
there.
The officer then attempted to got the
man from under the bed, when sud-
denly he bolted out and aimed blow
at the officer, who thereupon drew his
revolver. As he did so the negro kick
ed it from his hand and tussle en-
sued. The colored man having the
lamp suddenly left the room, and the
two men were in total darkness.
Cooper finally succeeded in breaking
loose from the officer, and picking up
a chair, dealt him a blow over the
head, and then ran down stairs. The
officer pursued him, and upon reach
ing the first floor another tussle en-
sued. They finally reached the yard,
and the officer hit the negro twice over
the head with blackjack. The blows
had no effect as the negro hit the Off
Ger a stunning blow in the face with
his fist, telling him to the ground. He
then kicked the officer in the stomach,
and thinking that he was unconscious
started across the lot. Chambers
quickly regained his feet notwithstand'
ing his injuries, and pursued the Hee-
ing fugitive and soon caught up with
him, when another struggle ensued
and both fell to the ground, the officer
succ eeding in getting on top.
AT this juncture Reed, the assaulted
party, who had gone for assistance re
turned with two men, and then Cooper
Iometly submitted. He was taken to thu
Hall by the officer, who bravely bore al
under his injuries until he had his prissn
or safely locked up. After getting to tn
Hall officer Cham bers' injuries becam,
40 pai that he was unable to wall
and had TO be conveysd to his homo in
carriage. Cooper is powerful bui
man, weighing at least two handre'
hounds, and the officer showed grea
pluck in sticking to him. He was do
termined to arrest his man, and ho say
nothing but death would have provente
him. The negro will Q gwen hearing

MATTERS POLITICAL.
A FEW FACTS GROWING OUT OF THE
RECENT ELECTIONS.


Wilmington Democrats are already
taking a calm review of the political
situation, and calculating the chances
for the Mayorality contest of 1881.
Recognizing the fact that at the last
election the party nobly held its
own in the upper portion of the city,
and that 1t was money and Radical
money that made such decided inroads
In the Democratic vote south Of Third
street, they feel assured that on 4 tull,
untrammelled vote there Is q square
Democratic majority in Wilmington.
The great dssideratum is a strong, pop
ular, available candidate, and this tue
Democratic people will surely have.
Some Wilmington Democrats who
were scared by the tariff cry into voting
the Republican ticket, are now terribly
scared at the "Revenue reform" utter
ances of leading Republican papers.
They begin to sec, now, hos- shey were
duped. A couple of workpten at O
prominent Republican mani featuring
establishment also experienced decid-
ed "change" the morning alter election,
when on stopping to congratulate each
other over the result Of the election,
they were rudely ordered by the fore
man to "go on with your work, this is
10 Time to iak politics."
The great and absorbing question OF
public interest just now is whether or
not Bob Frailn will be candidate for
the Republican Mayoralty nomination,
next year. Francis Vincent will prob
ably be in the race.
Fourth Ward Democrats pride them
selves upon the fact that the Fourth wa.
the "banner" Ward for the Democracy
at last Tuesdays election.
The Legislature will assemble in reg
ular session on the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in January.
Messrs. Chas. B. Lore, Albert White
ley and Geo. Russell, electors for this
State will meet at Dover, on the first
Wednesday Of December, and cast the
electoral vote Of this State for Hancock
aud English.
1t is really astonishing how little en-
thusiasm Wilmington republicans ex-
hibit over their apparent victory of Tues
day last. They are terribly cut-up be-
cause they did not carry the whole State
and "beat Bayard."
Already Republicans are calculating
and scheming in regard to the Fedora
appointments, next spring. 1t seems tC
bs q settled conviction that strong
fight will be made against the retention
of the present incumbents. A "neW
DEAL" all round, is demanded.

TAMMANY ACCUSED.

DEMOCRATS WHO SAY THAT @ GARFIEDD
ELECTORAL BALLOTS WE'RE SENT
FROM TAMMANY HALL.
The Chairman of the Irving Hall Or
ganizations in the twenty-four election
districts Of the First Ward met last even-
ing in the Washington Hotel, Bowling
Green, to hear reports ~ to the alleged
political trading in the First Assembly
District At the late election. As each
district was called the representative
arose and stated what he claimed To
know about the matter, Of his knowl-
edge. The representatives Of six dis
tricts averred that bags coming officially
from Tammany Hall contained ballots
for the Garfield electors punched with
ballots for Grace, and they charged that
Tamrnany Hall had cold out uauvoSh
in order to elect Grace.
Ex-Assemblymau Fitzgerald said
"In the Twentieth District on election
day handed O voter ticket from q
Tammany bag. He looked at it, and
turning 10 me exclaimed Indignantly,
'Wbat sort Of Democrat are you, run
ming put such tickets as this p Look
ing at it, found, to my astonishment,
been substituted for those of the Demo-
cratic electors, and punched with the
Grace tickets. In i've parcels found
the Same evidences Of treachery in the
punching. Tammany Hall was slaugh-
tering Hancock to save Grace"
Mr.. Fitzgerald was supported in his
assertions by large number Of the del
egates present. In one district, the rep
rssentative said, the treachery was dis
covered early, but before proper tickets
could be had 100 out Of the $50 voters
hal voted.
Resolutions were adopted setting forth
that all charges that MIR. Muller, who
was a candidate for Congress in the
Fifth District, and Mr.. Fitzgerald, the
candidate for the Assembly, had actet
treacherously were false, and condemn
ing Tammany Hall for "traltorousl!
aud treachsrously" substituting Gar
held for Hancock tickets,
Each representative then signed . pa
per declaring that he had honestly sup
ported the Democratic candidates, ant
