adopted would give the Republicans a.
least three electoral votes, to which
they are entitled beyond dispute, and
with Senatorial electors at large 1t
would give the Democrats six. If this
same plan was adopted in all
the States in but few Of them
would either party be without rep
resentation in the electoral college.
In the Republican State of Pennsylva-
mia, the Democrats would have at least
nine, where under the old law they
woald have none. In Ohio they would
have nine or ten. In Illinois they would
have six or seven, in Massach usetts they
would have one or two, in New Hamp-
shire they would stand chance of one
and even in Maine, had they showed
themselves to be honest they might
have had one or two. In the Demo-
cratic States the Republicans wouldnot
be altogether left without representa-
ton; even in some of the bulldozed
States the South there being chance
for the election Of Republican elector
here and there. Thus, in Mary land they
would have at least one, in Tennessee
one, in Missouri two or three, in North
Carolina two or three, and possibly
others in States farther South. Ifthere
was a fair election in the South and
no violence threatened or used the ma
jority of electors from the South would
be Republicans. The cause of the great
hue and cry against this newly propos- :
ed plan CT eleoting electors is that the
Democrats expect that through the
solid one hundred and thirty eight
votes of the solid south, the thirty fi,e
of New York and the fifteen of Indiana
to elect their President by majority
of three votes, and if they carry New
Jersey also, by a majority Of twelve
votes. There is the whole truth in
nutshell and there is no Disgusting it.
When there was report that the Leg.
slatures of Louisiana, Florida and
South Carolina, in the South, and even
that the rump Legislature of Maine
the election of Presi
lential electors by the Legislatures of
hose States, thereby depriving the
,eople Of any voice whatever in the
natter, these virtuous organs til at ara
o Mortified at the New York and New
rrsey movement, where they had no
words of commendation at least had no !
words of condemnation. In conclusion
We would honestly request every hon
st candid man, whether politician or
lot, whether Democrat or Republican,
o give the question that thought which
Is importance deserves, and see and
ecde for themselves if the new plan
) not fair, impartial, just and equita-
lie. :,

Reducing the Tariff.

There is disposition manifested by
a portion of the Democratic party to re.
dnce the tariff on iron and other pro-
ducts. II seems that there are ALWAYS
restlss spirits who are not satisfied to
leave we'll enough alone. In fact they
are always read y to tear down instead
of building up. Without the stimulus
given to the production of American
iron by the tariff the price would be
much greater than it nov is. The same
may be said of almost every article that
is largely consumed oy our people.
American ingenuity has cheapened
production, or at least prevented the
price becoming extortionate. Remove
the duties and put out the fires of
American furnaces, and the price of
every article made of iron would soon
be- doubled. We hope that all tinker
ing with the tariff will be- discour-
aged, and our people will be permitted
thenceforth to enjoy the profits arising
from their own industry. The free
trader is an enemy to American work
ing men, and We are surprised that any
one should be deluded by his theoriz
ing. Let laborers learn to stand by
their employers rather than their par
~, as their interests are mutual, and
hey must stand or fall together.

We SEE By the Reading "Despatch, "
that the total appropriations, for carry
ing on the city government of Reading
for the year 1880, is only s1l3, $50. 90.
In WILMINGTON the total appropriations
for carrying on the city for the same
year is 1851 IFS 33, little over three
times as much as what Reading spends.
and yet Reading is said to be larger
city than Wilmington. There must
either be contingent fund in Reading

TELEGRAM FROM GEN. skoBELoFF.

A TELEGRAM FROM GEN. sKoBELoFF.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 31.-Gen. Skobeloff
telegraphs that he started the 18th inst. on q
reconnaissance from Bami against the
Tekke Turcomans with light column of
three companies, three sotinas of Cossacks,
three light and two mountain guns, one
mitralleuse and one rocket battery. He says
they succeeded in destroying much gram
and provision stores between Bami and
Geoktepex. After several bayonet encount-
ers Gen. Skobelof on the 18th, occupied
Isgan and Batyrakel.
The Russians established point d'appui,
and Gen. Skobelof marched the 9Th with
the greater portion of his column to recon-
noitre Densiltepe and Geoltepe, and masses
of the enemy's horsemen were encountered.
The Russians advanced fighting within a
thousand PAGES of the out-works, beneath
the shelter of which they reoonnoitred. The
Russians returned at one in the morning and
despite frequent and determined onslsughts,
regained Esgan and Catyrkala the same
evening, almost without loss; they re-entered
Bami the 22d. The Russian casualties for
the nine days were three privates killed and
eight wounded. The Tekkes at Geoktepe
numbered 10000.

He stepped down from his elevated porch

A MISSING BOY.

Fears that an Eight Year Old Boy has
Been Stolen.
The eight year old son of P. H. Drum, re-
siding at No. 153, East Thirteenth street,
mysteriously disappeared last evening. he
was last seen on the sidewalk in front of his
fathers house, and up to one O'Clock this
morning no further trace of him has
been found. There are grave apprehensions
that the boy has been abducted. On Friday
evening man was about in that vicinity,
and endeavored to coax away another boy in
the neighborhood. He took the boy about a
block, when the boy escaped and returned
home. The Drum boy is well acquainted
with the street, is intelligent and hardly
likely to be lost. He never is absent
from home after dark, and
his present absence can scarcely
be accounted for save on the theory Of ab-
duotion. Any information concerning the
missing lad should be left at the police head
quarters, or sent to the residence of the
anxious parents.
