SECOND EDITION.
OELAWAKE's POPULATION.



Census supervisor Whi,eley told s
REPUBLICAN reporter this morning tina
lie was somewhat surprised in the pop,
ula.ion Of Wilmington All the city
districts, he said, will be completed to-
day, and thirteen or fourteen of the
seventeen enumerators in Wilmington,
have completed their work. While h
was not permitted to give the exact fig
ures, he was free to state that the popu
lation is between IS, 600 and SO, 900, o,
about 1000 less than had been expect
ed. He was confident that it would moi
rsach the latter figures. This is an in
crease in the city during the past ten
years of between 5000 snd 5000 in.
habitants.
With reference to the state popula.
tioa Col. Whitley said he could give
nothing but an estimate, as the emu
merators in the rural districts would
not complete their work until the latter
part of June, owing to the fact that so
many farms had to be visited and they
being situated at distance from each
Oku6f tuO WOfA was mdu0 ucCebbhThy
slow. The estimate he gave was about
las, 900 for the whole state, or an in
crease Of abont 1000 since 1870. As
near as he can surmise at present, judy
ing, of course, from the returns already
made, the population of New Castle
county will be about Is, 900. The popu.
la.ion Of Kent, he thinks will be be,
tween $4,000 and $4,000 and that Of
Sussex between $4,000 and $1,000.
When the work of census taking first
commenced Colonel Whitley thought
the population of New Castle county
would be between $1,000 and $4,000,
but he had never estimated tae state
at more than $50 900.
The work Of census taking, under
Col. Whits,ey's management has bean
most ably and satisfactorily done and
there is not the least cause Of com.
plant. The enumerators have all
given satisfaction and have met with
very little trouble in their rounds.

The Weak Point.
1Chicago Times /

The weak point-at any rate the very bad
point-in the business, is in the yoking of
Mr.. Garfield with the New York G Hector of
Customs, Mr.. Chester B. Arthur. The latter
is mere machine politician, of bad type.
He is the same Mr.. Artk whom President
Hayes attempted 10 remove from the New
York Custom House for open and defiant
disregard of the orders of his superior re-
specting the behavior of persons in the civil
service, for which attempt the President was
violently assailed in the Sem
ate by Mr.. Conkling. Mr.. Arthur
is Mr.. Copklings man: that is, he is
the man who superntends the Conkling
machine in New York politics, and takes
care that the Senator'S status party boss
is not imperiled. His mode of party man
agement is that of the bulldozer rather than
that of the skilltul disciple OF Macchiavelli.
His nomination looks as If it were intended
to be Mr.. Conkling's commentary on the
civil service reform declaration OF the party
platform" though the probable motive
was to secure for 1.-THE ticket" the votes OF
New York. 1t is nomination wholly unfit
TO be made. No good citizen would for q
moment think of choosing such man for
President; and yet Mr.. Arthur is presented
to the country ss tit citizen for heir-sppa-
rent to that office. The bare fact that a
man unfit for the Presidential Office is
chosen to stand as the legal successor to
that Office in the event of its sudden vaca-
ton, simply with view to getting votes for
tit candidate on the same ticket, Is a
deplorable commentary upon the badness
of the executive part of our Constitution
and the worse than uselessnesS OF the officer
without an office called the Vice President.
Ii is an arrangement by which the country
in choosing even the best among its eligible
citiz ans for the Presidential Office may be
compelled to accept the worst for his sue
cessor, in an emergency demanding man of
the highest faculties and purest character.
1t is an arrangement that ought TO be speedily
and wholly discontinued. as the nomination
made by the Chicago Convention for Vice
President plainly shows.

Colonel Len. Harris, Chairman OF the
National Democratic Committee In charge
of the preliminary arrangements for the
National Democratic Convention, has award
ed the contract for decorating Music Hall,
the Grand Hotel, and Belmonts headQuar-
tiers opposite. The decorations and designs
in the interior of the hall will be elaborate
and finished with exquisite taste. The
chorus seats will be entirely reserved
for the distinguished ladies who will
be present by invitation, hemmed in
by a light framework guard, hand
somely decorated with flags and tri-
coloreG bunting. The two doors back of
these seats will be enseonced in bower of
tri-colors, notices and National flags, each
containing large elk. foot shield, gayly or
namented. The Chairman's desk will be
raised on a lovely dais, on the little Uniting
platform, from which Theodore Thomas re-
Gently directed his orchestra, so that the
presiding officer will stand fully nine feet

whole, which will be oval shaped and Hastily
decorated with evergreens and flags. The
whole front of the immense platform will
be covered with tricolors and National flags.
and that part of IL Immediately In front of
the ladies' stand will be occupied by men,
bers and officers OF the National Committee,
besides other Democratic celebrities.
An immense American flag, forty feet
long, will sweep from under the roof over
the top gallery with the word Welcome"
on it in large gold letters. The tops OF all
the columns will be emb.sZ )ned with flags
of different nationallties, and there will be
some tall climbing done by the decorators
next week. The seats for the different dele

PUNCTURED.
What the Platform Looks Like When Mr..
Dana Is Done With 1t.
New York SUM-

New 10Tk sun.
The Republican candidate for President is
10 stand between now and November on
platform constructed with great pains by
Hon. Edwards P.errepont and others 1t is
made up OF platitudes and lies. The pro-
portion OF lies is about the same as in FORM
er years; In the amount of twaddle intro
duced, Hon. Edwards Pierrepont and bis
assistants have managed to surpass any thing
in recent political literature.
"The intelligence OF the Nation, /" says this
platform, '1s but the aggregate of the intel
ligence in the several States; and the destiny
of the Nation must be guided, not by the
genius of any one State, but by the average
genius of all" That and much more stuff
of the same sort, is solemnly put forth as a
statement CT the principles which are to
'guide and inspire" the efforts OF the Re-
publican party.
Now for few specimen lies:
The Republican party suppressed a re-
bellion which had armed nearly q million
OF men 10 subvert the National authority"
No 1t didn't The loyal people of the Union
suppressed that rebellion.
"It has raised the value of our paper cur
rency from IS per cent to the par of gold"
No it hasn't. The credit of the Nation and
the industry of the people have broaght the
currency to par.
at has restored upon a solid basis pay
ment in coin for all the National obliga-
tions." No Ii hasn't. 1t has stood Dy while
the laws OF trade have operated.
at has paid SsSs, 900 600 of the public
debt" No it hasn't. The people of the
United States have paid the money. And
but for the monstrous dishonesty of sue
cessive Republican administrations, the
public debt would have been further reduced
by hundreds of millions, or thgburdens of
the people would have been less 5s hundreds
of millions-the hundreds of millions wasted
and stolen under Grant.
1--WE affirm that no further grants of the
public domain should be made to any rail-
way or other corporation" You affirmed
the same thing four years ago and eight
years ago, and kept on giving away the pub
lie domain until the people made you stop.
Slavery having persisted in the States, its
twin barbarity, polygsmy, must die in the
/ Territories" You pronounced Its death
warrant four years ago. and have not raised
hand to execute the sentence.
History will honor Rutherford B.
Hayes" That is lie.
THE reform in the civil service shall be
thorough, radical and complete" You prom
| Used it in 1872 and in 1876. You will keep
on promising 1t as long as the promise wins
| the votes of fools.
The real platform of the Republican party
was enunciated at Chicago, not by Hon. Ed
wards Pierrepont. but by one Flanagan, OF
! Texas. II is truthful and rrief: what are
we here for except to get Cfice?"
