yl..ure Of agreeing with that gentleman''
opinions, but we are inclined to believe
IA this particular instance that he hai

The editor OF the INTELLiGRSCRR has
.srH essayed the role OF politician, in
w. Bakers sense Of the term. We pre-.
same, therefore, he must be considered 9
pOrOne Mr. Bakers idea Of q politician
slnan who runs, or helps to run, the
political machine: who knows how to set
pthe pins and arrange combinations in
thsinierest Of candidates with view To
personal aggrandizement, and who is al.
EIys on hand Tor a dicker in regard TO
Supporting some fellow or some clique or
tns Tor position.
The public are familiar with Mr.. Bakers
exploits IS a politician, particularly his
ppiepOt performance when he and Mr..
JC Hevey were opposing candidates for
The Senate. To deceive a lot OF people
into voting for a candidate whom they
Ioud not have touched with pair d
taue bad they known his name was on
the ticket, is Mr. Bakers idea Of political
ihreEdness.
The editor Of the INrKLLIoESoKR has no
aent in that direction. He has never
drilled with any such crowd. he has
nsrer attempted to set up Ward Meetingt
Ct pack County Convention. he has
ssnetlIlV autagonized the axe.grinders ol
AsRryt and for that reason has never
Eiged their favor.
W. Baker has a natural penchant ioi
1iShiRe politics. He is always pulling
'ires and iabricating states in his own
Hry. lie would rather, ten to one, at
tod TO such business than follow his le'
ntiane calling as newspaper man. His
l'oeas in his lavorite role has, however,
been very discouraging. No man ever
made more bIuuders or got more kicksand
sunt. from his party than Lewis Baker
hspry does not believe In him. Mr.

column Of this issue, express the aversgs
opinion Of the Democrats Of West yiiginil
n regard to Mr.. B They think, as Mr.

To-day's Question.

Where your fall clothes are
coming from? That's the ques-
lion. A hundred plsces invite
you, each in ito own way. They
nearly all assume that you can
choose from a variety Of gar
ments. what will satisfy you
both as to fitness aud wear.
They assume that you will so
choose, pay your meney, and
wear out the clothes.
One house offers you the great
est variety to choose from the
mostly highly developed system
ofmaking, inspecting and mark
ing from which you may reason
ably expect the best work and
the highest security that the ma
terials are what they are sold
for and the most liberal terms
in selling, viz, that you have the
right to return everything unin-
jured, if on examination at home
you repent of your choice.
For such advantages you ex-
pect to find perhaps prices high
er. You are not perhaps, good
enough judge to be certain; but
the prices are said to bo low, if
not the lowest of all. Suppose
they are the higher you will
return the clothes, if you find
they have cost too much.
Buy then to-day a $40 bus
mess suit, and a $40 overcoat
and look at like cloths else
where. 1t is not so difficult as
you think tojudge of clothing, if
you go the right way about it.

NEWARK, Oct. 30, 1880.
The Fernwood Band of Londonder.
ry, Pa, was obliged TO take the cars
here, on account of having missed the
train at Landenburg. This organiza.
tion was engaged to play in the Re-
publican parade that took place in
Wilmington, Wednesday night.
The Democratic nominee for Coro-
ner was in this vicinity on Wednes-
day looking after his interests.
1t was Joseph B. Luton instead of
Sutton who received the premium for

Fair.

Mrs. Hannah Harmon, colored, fell
on "a hot stove while in fit on We'd
nesday morning, badly burning her
lelt hand. DIR. Henry attended to her
injuries.
All is quiet along the line, each par
ty doing more thinking than acting.
The general impression is that Mr..
rheo + Armstrong will be the repre-
sentative for this hundred, although
the opposite party have been and will
make strenuous Efforts for Mr.. Pill

Owing to the inclemency of tho wea-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE first
statue of the proposed national Lin
coin monument was cast to-day at the
bronze foundry of Clark Mills, the fa-
nous sculptor, few miles out of the
civ, on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road. This monument is to be erect
ed under the direction of q society
known as the National Lincoln Monu-
ment Association, and the expense
will be mainly covered by private sub
scriptions, though Congress supplies
the necessary bronze in the shape of
condemned cannon aud will also be
asked to contribute The pedestal. 1t
will be a very elaborate structure, sew
enty feet high, consisting OF three
stories, with no less than thirty-six
colossal bronze figures in different
parts of it, six Of which, at the base,
will be equestrian statues, sixteen or
eighteen feet high, representing Gen.

nent in civil positions during the war,
including Lincoln's Cabinet, Thaddeus
Stevens, DIR. Bellows, founder of the
Sanitary Commission i; Bishop Simp-
son, Henry Ward Beecher and George
ii. Stuart as a representative of the
Christian Commission. Fred Doug
lass will appear as the type of what
emancipation has done for the slave,
and there will be other statues which
are not yet fully decided upon. Ano-
table feature of the monument will be
bas-reliefs, one representing the firing
on Fort Sumter, which began the war,
and the others representing the Sen.
ate and House adopting the amend
ments to the Constitution which sig
nalized its results. The work has SC
far progressed that the model of Sec
retary Chase was cast to-day, and five
others are ready for the process. The
site of the monument has not yet been
decided upon, but it will probably be
located in Judiciary Park, near the
centre of the city.
