THE DRIFT OF THE MIND ED1-
ToRIAL ON VARIOUS SUBJECT.
Dela,oarean We ask the people
of this State if they are willing to
see a party get control of the legis-
lation, and the management of the
affairs of the several counties, which
persistently seeks to advance the
wishes of the negroes among us at
the sacrifice of the interests and
rights of white people Of the State.
They will answer this question by
their vote in November.
Newark Ledger The taking of a
Judge as candidate for political
Office is of more than doubtful poll
CIV. Even If in the administration of
his judgeship he shonld not be in
huenced by his candidacy in the
least, those of the opposite party
would be likely to distrust his fair
ness, and, consequently, the weight
of his Judgment would be sensibly
lessened. Such a condition of things
would be public misfortune. A
Judge should have no friends to re-
ward and no enemies to punish.
This, then, is certainly an objection
to Judge Houston's nomination for
Congress. Bi s6W
Georgetown Inquirer "A better
illustration of humanity and bravery
than that exhibited by General Tor
bert in the terrible storm In which
he lost his life cannot be found. In
that awful situation he displayed no
moral Or physical cowardice, but
combined as he ever did, even on
the field of battle, the gentleness of
woman with spirit that allowed no
danger to stand between himself
and what he regarded as his duty.
Elkton Democrat Most any one,
according to the organs, could ride
down line of battle in the face of
one hundred and fifty cannon deal
ing death at every discharge. 1t is
we'll for them to remember that just
one man ever did such a thing and
that man was w. S. Hancock.
Come to think of it, fellow like
that would make a good President.
He has grit-which Garfield hasn't.
Dover Sentinel :-Pot-house politl-
clans and Political Camp-bcavengers
strive to deter honest gentlemen from
taking part in Politics! Their object is
apparent! The duty OF every American
citizen is to fairly ht ar all sides, calmly
form his own opinion and openly and
honestly express the same. The mud
singers only dirty their own hands in
attempting to bespatter their betters.
Seaford Index We hope that ma
jority of the people of these United
States will speak shortly with voice
that cannot be mistaken, and In such 8
manner, that all abuses of our govern
ment shall be corrected, and Americi

come, the spectacle of republic, full
filling the purposes Of her founders, ant
the high destiny for which God designed

beyond comparison with any that car
