Doubtless you have been before this

much doubts on the part of the Commit

bility OF holding such q meeting In the
hot month OF july according to the in
struction of the Irving Hall General
Committee. As yet but two Wards In the
city have perfected their arrangements
for organization for the campaign, and
consequently there was no hope OF any
aid from that most active agent OF all In
bringing out the crowd, q torchlight pro-
ce sion. And to make such o meeting O
success there was nothing but the popu-
larity Of the national ticket and earnest.
ness OF the popular opposition to the Re-
publican party to depend on. That it was

A STRANGE STORY.

A YOUNG WOMAN SAID TO BE PUR-
SUED BY TWO NEW YORK K1DNAP-
PERs.
Reading, Pa, who arrived in this city
on Wednesday evening, after weary
tramp from New York, now fears she
has been followed here by two men who
intend to kidnap her, and there seems
to be reasonable ground for her fears.
Miss Miller says for number Of years
she resided with Mrs. Hamilton, of
Reading, Pa, but was persuaded to 60
to New York by q woman calling her
self Mary Anne Meyers, who assured
her an easy situation, at good wages.
On arriving in New York she was de-
coyed into g house of ill-fame, and when
she discovered the nature of the place
and attempted to leave, the woman at
tackled her, and beat her violently with
a blackjack over the head. Afterwards
four men entered the room and attempt
ed to outrage her, but although they tied
her hands, she struggled so desperately
as to defeat their fiendish purpose.
During the struggle one Of the men cut
her repeatedly in the side with small
pen-knife. She was finally turned out
| into the street and her clothes thrown
after her, though her pocket-book con-
tanning all her money was kept.
She Immediately started on a tramp
| for home, and after terrible trials and
hardships arrived in this city Wednes-
| day evening, and was sheltered in the
police station. She says that once she
was assaulted by four men, who, so she
| believes, were the same she was so vio-
lently assaulted by in New York. A
train happened to be passing at the time
on which two policemen happened to be
passengers, and they stopped the train
and came to her rescue, whereupon her
assailants fed.
| Early Thursday morning Miss Miller
| left the nolice station with the intention
| of starting for Reading, but happening q
pass p. McCullougk's shoe factory, she
| applied to the watchman for work. He
| took pity upon her, and sent her
to the house of friend, James
A. Chance, of No. 727 Madison street
who took her In and gave her temporary
shelter. She is still at Mr.. Chances house
slowly recoperating from her terrible
experiences.
STILL PURSUED.
The strangest part of the story is tina
| the girl seems to be still pursued by thu
New York ruffians. Last evening tw,
strangers appeared in Wilmington am

Jones to help them find young lad

the impulse of this slow and steady
revolution against the Republican par
ty, and transcending the force of all
other causes put together, came in the
nick of time the audacious attempt of
a set of political highwaymen at Chi
cago to plant their knees upon the
public breast and throttle it of its
voice, in order that they might estab-
lish permanent government for their
political master and themselves. They
were mad with spoil and drunk with
arrogance and power, and did not
know to what great extent they were
unmasking themselves till it was too
late.
Was ever such sight? Their leader
with his private wire, most blind and
mad at all, had waded in to his fate
from primary declaration that he
would accept a nomination only if
unanimously pressed upon him, and,
after six-day fight, died with his jaw
upon the bit at 30e
That was the moment at which the
country took fire, or, to use our Amer
ican phrase, "got mad" At the same
moment panic seized the braves who
had been forbidding honest men to
speak. The siege of fliberty was raised
by the lifting of Garfeld's banner
The desperadoes endeavored to make
the best of their DISCONTINUED but they
had gone too far. The people now had
taken the bit, and the insult these Re-
publican dictators had put upon their
respected representatives in the Con-
vention burned every honest cheek in
the land. From that moment the cleo
ton of any Democratic candidate who
might be named at Cincinnati was GER
tain.
But the best man was chosen, and !
rejoice in his election. l do not pre-
dict anything, but 1 believe Gen. Han
cock will be invited to the White
House, in large part by the very same
patriotic men who sent honest Abra+
ham Lincoln there for two terms. J.
shall take great pleasure In casting
my vote for him as man without stain
and equal to the Presidential station
For that purpose will be found at the
polls in New York at the election in
next November. GEO. WILKES.

YESTERDAYS EXCURSIONS,

The excursion of the Uniform Corps,

was a success in every particular. The

after l2 o'clock. Returning, the train
left at six O'Clock, and the participants
arrived home about 1130 O'Clock.
No accidents occurred during the trip
In boarding the boat ON the return trip
a NUM- Der Of persons were relieved OF
their watches and pocketboks. Among
those who lost watches was "Ohlck'
Foy. .
ihe excursion of the g. FL. A., to
Joanna He ghis, on the W. & N: Il. b.
was also well patronized. Arriving al
the Heights, the day was spent In dan
cling and other amusements. There were
excursions to the same place from Coates
Vile and Reading. The excursion't 3
from this city arrived home at an early
hour, we'll pleased with their days en-
ioyments, and without any one being re
lieved of their pocketbooks and watches
by the light-hngered gentry.
