Mr.. EDITOR -
Since Grant's1 return from the
South, the Republican has no South
ern outrages to report; and since
Grant told the people North that
all was quiet and prosperous, and
the people happy and loyal, what
the Republican said in the past must
be stories of its own concocting. In
other words according to Grant, the
Republican lied. 1t has very little
to say about their conventions being
held in different States. | infer
from this, the Republican delegates
from Delaware are for sale to the
highest bidder. If the eX-Pr ssident
closed his mouth in regard to the
Southern people, why does he not
obey and hurrah for Grant. This
will explain his position, he is afraid
of his master at Washington, the
party lash hasbeen threaten all those
who may rebel against Sherman.
This proves he has no independence
and acts cowardly as a Representa-
tive of party. The people admit
the independence of the Nelcs as be-
ing iii to represent something. But
the Republican j. cowardly and
shrinks from expressing its prefer
ance candidate for the Presi-
dency who j. to be nominated and
defeated by democratic statesman
The Republican Is ashamed of the
wrangling and disgusting doiugs of
their conventions here and elsewhere
and has turned its attention to demo
cratic nomination for Sheriff in this
County. One would suppose it had
some interest in some candidate, and
that its influence was worth consid-
Grafton. l wonder what change il
makes for windy editorial favoring
some one IN particular. This is
not very encouraging to Mes
srs. Clark or Martin. Olc
would suppose form his langn..e
some democrat is sure to electcl
which is fact. but it Is unkiud to
its candidates who are making every
effort to obtain the nomination. 1t
may be it has been trimming for the
Sheriff ; printing in landing a par
ticular democrat TO be nominated.
1t had better be looking after their
forty thousand disfrauchiscd votes:
black and white in this county. and
with the influence of Bidrneg Stone
he may be able to come within eipht
hundred of electing any of hi, can
didates. The influence OF this i'm
ported Stone will have about n.
much effect on the people Of this
county as did one jenkins. a would
be Senator and other of the same
stripe who came here to teach Della
wareans how to enact laws. and
manage State Governments: where
are they to-day! Echo answers.
where? In some other locality us.
lng their Btarney Stone tono purpose
Delaware Is not to be blarnied by
| such adventures. The Democratic
party in Delaware have fixed princi-
piles which are in unison with the
laws, governing the people and all
attempts made by those who come
| to live amongst us to change ouu
old time principles and laws under
which we have lived so long and
prospered, will learn that a .Stoae
will have no more effect upon the
people than jenkins. The demo-
cratic party in Delaware represents
honesty economy and a strict obser-
vance Of the laws made for their
protection. The Republican party
OF Delaware represents fraud ,extrav.
igance and an utter incompetency
to execute the laws while they die
have power, hence the people turn
ed them ont. 1t is not difficult tC
contemplate which party will sue
ceed at the next election.
