rc tieed by fair minded citizens an

We do not pretend to say that there al
not honest men in the Democratic PAL
| ty who would make good iurymeE
There are plenty of them, but there ar
at least equally as many Of them in ,h
Republican party as in any other. ha
there been political discrimination il
,he selection Of jurymen by the Lev.
Couri? Let the intelligent reader tax
the trouble to examine the pan
els and judge for themselves. TIL
Grand Jury, much fairer than the pa'i
panels, contains IS Democrats and ]
Republicans. The first peti: pane
contains "a Democrats and i Eepubli
cGus. The second panel contains q
Democrats and 4 Republicans. The ad
ditional special panel for the court o
Oyer and Terminer contains Il Demo
Gratis and 4 Republicans. The tota
summing up shows that cut Of l01
rames drawn thele are rs Democrats
and "a Republicans, rot quite oDe o
the latter to three Of the former. As We
showed in yesterdays REPUBLICAN out
of II drawn frOm Wilmington there
are no Republicans so far US our know,
ledge extends, and tLat Of others who
have investigated the subject.
Mr.. Lodge from Brandywine who had
the selection Of the jprymen itot2 VII
mington as well as from BcaGGywiue,
seems to have ac!ei very fairly Tor his
own Hundred, for Of the ~ rSm.:
chosen they are equally divided he.
tween the two leading political parties.
Out Of the 10 chosen for Caris:iana
however which is strong Republican
Hundred, Mr.. Husbands it seems could
only find two Republicans WHOM he
deemed qualified to serve as jurymen.
Out of 10 from Mill Creek where al
leas! one half Of the people are Repub-
licans and above the average in intel
ligerc, Mr.. Morrison seems only to
have struck upon three who in his
judgment were competent for jprymen.
Out Of 10 from White Clay Creek
Mr.. Weir found two very good Repub-
licans to serve upon the Grand Jury,
bnt the eight for the other panels are
all Democrats. Mr.. Wilson from PEN
oadsr, a very fair-min1ed and liberal
gentleman, ont OF 10 from his Hundred
iound four Republicans which he put
in his boxes, and they are upon the
iuries. This is better than some others.
Mr.. Silver who very ably represents
New Castle has divided the 10 he WAS
entitled to, giving the Demecra.s Elk
and the Republicans four. Mr. Bright,
President Of the Levy Court, represents
Red Lion Hundred where there is
very large Republican element of more
than usual intelligence, Int Of tie .
names drawn for that Hunsred he has
ohly found one Republican, whom he
put OF the Grand Jury. Mr.. Polk of
st. Georges, gentleman whose social
qualities we admire and for whom we
aave the greatest respect, cut Of seven
,aw proper to make the choice unani-
nously Democratic. With one possible
exception Mr.. Taylor of Appoquinimink
aw proper to choose all Of the seven
rom that Hundred from amongst the
Democrats, and Mr.. Wells frsm Black
'ird must have thought that the inter
SITS OF that young Hundred would be
'etter subserved by choosing all Dem
'crats. II would not however
70 just to the. members of the Levy
Court TO say that these "a Repu olicans
ut Of l02 names drawn, included the
James of all the Republicans placed in
be boxes. There were $50 names in
hs boxes and only 1G2 had been draws
ut. This leaves 22S still in the boxes
ut Of VIII ch al out rs will be drawn to
erve as jurymen for the November aud
ebruary terms Of Court. There ia no
moving where the judicial light
ing may strike rext tine. PEI
aps the next panels may be az strong
Republican as the present panels are
)emocratic, and who knows that even
the - yet to be drawn for the fall |
nd winter courts should even all be
Democrats, the 1J3 still left in the bog.
> AMI whi,h would never be drawn,
light he Republicans But it is not
iSely that such thing will happen.
THE "Bvery Evening" calls the Re-.
UBLIcAN blackguard paper and all
tho read it as being accessories in IL
elling. As the REPUBLICAN has a cir
ulation equal to all the other papers
q the city combined, the character of
