SECOND EDITION
The Republican Nomination.

THE DOVER FIGHT REPEATED, AND
THE EARLY BIRD GETS ANOTHER
WORM - CLARK AND WELDIN
NOMINATED.
The Republican nomination cleo
ton for Sheriff and Coroner came off
on Saturday afternoon, and in this
city attracted an unusual degree of
interest. This was mainly from the
fact that the Dover fight, which re-
suited in such signal victory for
Levi c. Bird, Esq, was repeated on
smaller scale, the Pickels-Higgins
faction directing their special efforts
to secure the defeat Of Philip r.
Clark, whose cause the Bird faction
espoused.
The reason for this phase of the
contest lis not generally known.
Clark was the candidate for Sheriff
two years ago, and until recently it
was thought he would be nominated,
again with little or no opposition.
But probably because his name is
Clark, and to revenge themselves
on Bird for forcing Levi G. Clark
on the party as a delegate to Chi
cago, the Pickels-Higgins faction
centered ON James Martin, of Will
mington, and used their utmost eff
forts TO secure his nomination. But
again they were beaten for even here
in Wilmington, where Martin re-
sides and is quite popular he only
beat Clark about three hundred
votes, which lead the latter safely
overbalanced in the country districts
A sample of the contest is shown
by the vote of the Ninth Ward
where letter-carrier James L. Haw.
kins, Birds trustiest lieutenant came
smilingly up to the scratch with 16f
votes for Clark and only 23 for Mar
tin.
The vote in Wilmington was unus-
ually large (29l0l and was produced
by repeating and voting persons
from the country. This was notably
the case in the First, Second ant
Tenth Wards, where the vote poll
ed is fully twice as large as the reg
lar Republican vote at any genera
election. Full returns are as fol

Greeley on LAWYERS.

The late Horace Greeley did not
like lawyers. A gentleman tells this
"Mr. Greeley said Partridge, "this
is Denslow, a young attorney" Greeley
uttered a short grunt of Recognition, but
did not even look around. 7, embar-
raised, shrunk away to one corner, and
took a chair. He went around the room,
looking at pictures, and what not, and
in about five minutes, when his back
was turned on me, and thought he had
forgotten me, he suddenly. without
looking at me, said, e Hem SO you are
an attorney, are you?"
/ confessed it. 81 hate lawyers; they
do more mischief than their heads are
worth. y
I suppose they are necessary evil, !"
| suggested deprecatingly.
Wholly unnecessary, he insisted.
81 suppose you will acknowledge, I
said, "that they promote good order
and remove impediments to good gov
ernment
"Just the contrary! just the contrary!'
he squeaked in his old falsetto: "they
C"uoC u1oOIuO1, 6t1lu 6l0 Gu0 Clll0l OUSGd-
Gle to good government. +"
| thought the man was crazy. "Per-
haps you will tell me-" I suggested,
chow bad debts could be collected with
out attorneys ?"
"Don't want 'em collected! don't
want 'em collected p he squeaked; eff
A let's B have his property without pay
ment / don't see why G, d, E, F and all
the rest of the alphabet should be called
upon to act as police to get it back ! No
debt should be collected by law. It's
monstrous Let man trust another
man at his own risk. Even a gambler
pays debts that he isn't legally obliged
to pay, and calls them debts of honor;
but men will put their property out Of
their hands to prevent the legal collection
Of their grocery bills. Abolish all laws
for the collection of debt, and that will
abolish most of your lawyers good rid

Quinineis again strongly recommended
as certain and speedy cure for whoop-
ing-cough. DR.. H. A. Mott, who has
been experimenting with his own chill
dren as we'll as many others, states, in a
paper recently read before the New York
Academy of Sciences, that the best time
to administer it is just after a coughing
spell and just before retiring at night.
AS regards the size Of the dose, this
should depend on the age and severity
Of the case. From three to five grains
Of powdered quinine can be put on the
tongue of a grown person and allowed to
dissolve. For a child from three to five
grains may be dissolved in two ounces
OF sugar and water, and one teaspoonful
can be given as stated above. The sugar
and water help to keep it longer in con-
tact with the paris. Quinine admins
tered in gelatine or sugar-coated pills is
of 40 use whatever.

PROBABLY the most shocking and
coolly-planned suicide ever recorded oc-
CURED in Chelsea, Mass, lately. A
young man named Pillsbury killed him
self by a guillotine which was made by
his own hands for the purpose. The
deadly machine was composed Of two up
right pieces Of joist, on the inside Of
which hollow block of wood was ar
ranged to slide Firmly set in the space
thus made was a carpenters broadax,
evidently sharpened for the occasion.
On top Of the block which held the ak
was box of stones weighing about fifty
pounds. A wooden lever supported
this contriyance, and from this a cord.
led to watering pot. The pot was
filled with water, and just balanced the
box Of stones; but two holes had been
drilled in 1T, and when sufficient water
had run out the weighted AK descended.
Pillsbtry' s ingenuity did not end there,
TOR ne had followed out a block OF wood
and filled IL with ether, So that when he
lay down on bed Of hay which he had
prepared his face was directly over the
an@sthetic. Boxes Of brick were placed
at either side Of his head, SO that he
could not dodge the blow, and brace
was affixed to hold his head to the floor.
The machine worked perfectly, and
Pillsbury, whose ancestors have been
insane, doubtless died painless death.
He probably spent three weeks in pre-
pairing the gllillotine. \

Democratic Cheek.

For pure and unadulterated cheek the
Tilden Democrats of New York can take
the palm. The resolutions adopted at
Syracuse are. as fair an exhibition of
lofty utterance and unexampled assur-
ance as can be tound In the declarations
of any political body that has ever issued
a pronunciamento.
These resolutions, taken apart from
the facts which have become a part of
the history of our politics, seem to
breathe spirit of most exalted and
commendable patriotism. The men as
sembled appear to have one great and
all-absorbing design, and that is, to pre-
serve the principles of civil liberty in
their purity and as they were given to
us by the fathers of therepublic. Think
of the Tilden Democrats lifting up their
voices as follows
Republics cannot shirk the care of their own
destinies. A Government of the people, for the
people, must be a Government by the people
The lawful exercise and orderly transfer of the
peoples power through successive administra-
lions of Government prescribed by the peoA
pies choice is the fundamental condition of the
representatives of democratic republic. 1t is
the political object for which constitutions and
laws are framed. 1t is the first of popular
rights; for, besides being the greatest Of them,
it is the one without which the others cannot
exist 1t is the substance of civil liberty AS
for democracy, the peoples rule, the peo-
pies right to rule, is the very breath of its life.
This, then, is a momentous issue-the right of
the people to exercise and enjoy an elective
Belf-government without impediment of force
or fraud from any quarter, least of all by force
or fraud from their temporary, but discarded,
servants.
Who, unacquainted with the facts,
would believe that the partyreprese
by the men who wrote and adopted the
above was the prime mover in one of the
most gigantic conspiracies to defraud
the ballot box known to modern history?
The right to rule without impedi-
ment of force. or fraud p Is it possible
that a Democratic convention can gravely
utter these words and not redden with
the blush of conscious guilt? pa p. l8s
And there is no denial of fraud on the
part of the Democratic party of the
South. It is boosted of and gloated
over. Mr.. Tilden, whom the Syracuse
Democrats put forward as the martyr
who was defrauded of the Presidency,
would not have come within cannon
shot of an election had the IS right to
rule without impeachment of force or
fund" been recognized and enforced in
this country. And these men know it.
They know that dose of their own
medicine means their own destruction,
and that with an honest ballot Mr.. Til
den has about as much chance for the
Presidency as he has of translation like
Elijah.
In face of the wholesale disfranchise-
ment in the South, and the open and no
torious confession, how farcical, how dis
gustingly hypocritical it is for these part
ners in the iniquity to talk about the
honesty Of the ballot and the necessity
of preserving our democratic institutions.
We wonder that the convention did not
break into an uproar Of laughter over its
own brazen assurance. - Chicago Inter

Mennonites in Manitoba.

Some miles west Of Pembina, on the
British side Of the boundary line, there
is a large settlement Of Russian Men
nonites. About Z, 900 have come to
Manitoba, where the Government. has
reserved 800, 900 acres for their settle
ments. 1t was beautiful morning
when we set out on ''prairie yacht. .
behind a pair of quick-stepping horses,
to visit the Mennonite Reserve. Our
road lay along the north bank of the
Pembina river, skirting the edge of the
timber, and occasionally cutting across
q point Of woods which ran out into the
open prairie. We passed many thrifty
looking farms, where the men were. still
working at the remnant of the harvest.
AT Smuggler's Point there was log
tavern, and we stopped for little din
ner. The landlord was frontiersman
who had tried life in many Territories.
We asked him whether the Mennonites
We're good settlers, and how he liked
them.
Well" he said, "they're quiet
enough, and some on 'em lives pretty
white; but they amt no good to the
country. They live on black bread and
melons, and raise their own tobacker !:
and when a crowd on 'em comes in here
to drink, each man steps up and drinks,
and pays for his own liquor.
Such conduct as this, of course, is
subversive of the very first principle of
American society, which recognizes
" treating" as the true medium Of
friendly intercourse.
A few miles farther on we found the
farm village of Blumenort. 1t is not
the largest of the villages on this reserve,
but it will serve as. type Of the rest.
The hlgh-road was simply well-wom
wagon track over the bare plain. An
irregular line of a dozen low matched
houses on each side of the road and a
steam sawmill made up the village
The farms radiate from this center.
Every man cultivates his own land, and
the four-and-twenty families have the
advantage Of living close together, and
making common front against the hard
ship and loneliness of frontier life. Each
village has it's head-man, or Schuzy-its
school-master-who teaches in German;
and, if the village is too small for
church, the Pfarrer comes over from
some larger town to preach at stated
times. Henry j. Van Dyke, J7'., an

The State Convention Of the Kellyites
not only appointed delegates to Cincin-
natl, but nominated Electors-at-Large.
They also pronounced very strongly in
favor Of Horatio Seymour for President.
That disposes of him. He cannot be
taken up now. The National Conven-
ton will not dare to nominate the pet of
the boilers. That would be too palpable
and gross an insult to the regulars of the
party to be thought of.
On the whole, then, while the Repub-
hcan nomination is still in doubt, the
Democracy might as well surrender now
without reservation to SamuelJ. Tilden,
with English, of Indiana, Palmer, of
Illinois, or some other Western man as
candidate for Vice President. - Chicago
