SECOND EDITION
ALMOST SIXTY SINCE.

MY DEAR JoHNsoN-In my early
youth, appeared the wonderful work
of the "Wizard of the North" IVA
verly; or tits forty years SINCE"
In reading this title, how well it is
remembered, being struck with the
length of time that must have been,
for man TO remember, and to be able
to call to mind the events then occur
ring. And now, that old age has erept
slowly upon me like 'a thief in tue
night" that just seems to be but q
thing Of yesterday.
My attention was drawn to this SUBJ
ject by reading in your valued heb
domadal-a week since-a CODY of a
Democratic ticket of 1891, when "Dave
Wilson," as we used to call him af
fectlonately, was chosen Sheriff.
cannot match this, but offer for
the entertainment of your readres a
copy OF the Democratic ticket of New
castle county, for 1924, found among
some loose papers of my late father
The descendants OF some Of these fa-
theirs in the church have strayed away
from the venerated fold; but many of
them, you will rejoice with me in re-
cogniziHg as still firm in the faith
knowing no strange gods, sacrificing
at no Infidel affairs.
What glory is this for the Demo
cratic party to have lived 80 long and
indeed, two decades longer without
change Of name o. alterati N of its
grand old banner or material diverg-
ence of principle. 1t has survived all
its former opponents, outlivcd every
ribald nick name applied to 1T, OF
which you and l remember so many,
and stands to day the same object of
reverence, and subject of faith in its
followers as in the days of its first in
stitution by Jefferson, Monroe, Madi-
son, jackson, T yler and their COM
patriots.
No party in England, old conserva-
tive England, has endured unaltered
much longer, if we except the Jacob
ties become Tory-in France save the
Loyalists-who still worship the
White Lilies and breathe incense over
the memories of LaRoche, Jacquelin
and Georges.

The name of the other candidate
for Sheriff appears to have been torn

There were then placed in nomina-

nee really intended by the party was

THE RAIL ROAD QUESTION.
HOW THE HEw DEAL WILL AFFEsI
WHINING OH AND THE PROSPECTS
OF A CoMPkTINo LINE,

HOW THE HEW DEAL WILL AFFEe7
WHINING / ON AND THE PROSPECT,
OF A OoMPETINo LINE.
The first shock Of surprise over tn,
Astounding railroad Developments OF yes
terday Ii AoH over, and the most natura
questions that arise In the minds Of Will
mington are theBe:
First-How will the new state OF
affairs Affect Wilmington?
Second-How will il aEeet the pros.
poets Of competing line between Phila.
delphla aud Baltimore.
The first question cannot be definitel,
answered. at present, as the policy OF the
new regime will probably not be de.
veloped until tho next annual meeting
now nearly . year distant and the dir.
ectors OF the present management have
not yet held q meeting to consider future
operations. 1t will not no wever, affect
the construction Of the new depot IN this
city.
The second qsestion is, at present, OF
more vital important. A GAZETTE re-
porter, this morning, propoundcd 1t 10
Col. II. y. McCoHb, OF the Delaware
Western RailroAd, who replied that it
depended solely upon the Legislature,
said the Colonel, "If the Delaware
Western bill bad passed the Legislature;
the new road would have been construc.
ted within twelve months, now 1t depends
upon the promPtness with which the
Legislature works. II the msm'r Z
fool away this opportunity IL may -.
lest forever"
In direct answer to the question rs
10 whether the new road would IA
be constructed, Col. McComb said
''1fa new party is to DO made up,
will not attempt it until tho charter is
passed and | can have it to show to
my friends. Any who will go in to
build . now road must see what our
chartered rights are before they will
consent to consider q new PROPOSE
tion."
THE BILL TO BE PRESSED.
The Delaware Western people re-
turned to Dover, and will vigorously
press their bill for passage Through
the House OF Representatives. An
earnest advocate Of new through
line, discussing The prospects of the
bill, said that in the matter of grant
ing q railroad charter, the Leglsla-
ture should exact only four require
ments, viz
/. That the applicants are decent,
honest persons.
2. That the bill demands no monied
subsidy from the State.
0. That it provides no exemption
from taxation.
4. That it grants no privileges 9TH
er railroad corporations are not pos
sessed Of.
The same gentleman was strongly
OF ths opinion that if this Legislature
failed to pass tho necessary legisla-
tion 10 enable a competing line to run
through this State, it would be years
before Legislature could be elected
that would grant q competing charter
as the new monopoly will faslen its
grip upon the law making power Of
The State far moro strongly than the
old one.

sale of the r., w. d B. r. X. were

In accordance with a custom of
years standing, the Washington S.
+. e. and Fl. & l.. Company, last
night, celebrated Washington o
birthday by their annual ball In the
auditorium Of the Opera House. The
hall, as usual, was handsomely dec
GRATED, the .tage scenery being
prettily set and the proscenium
boxes arrayed in flags. From the
stage ceiling was pendent a gorgeous
temple of liberty, with a brilliant
goddess comfortably seated therein.
The big globe was sus pended from
the auditorium ceiling, and the gal
lery pillars were beautifully trimmed
with evergreens, while fire horns
and other equipments were sus
pended through the chandeliers. The
balcony front was set off with flags
and shields representing the original
thirteen States, and pictures sus
pended around tho walls completed
the decorations.
The grand march commenced at
1880 O'Clock, TO the strains OF
Washington Grand March," by
Ritchie's orchestra. 1t comprised
156 couples, led by Master Of Cere
monies VIM. II. Baker and wife, fol

con, James Dickson and wife. and
VIM. Lincoln and lady. Each lady
on the promenade was presented
with a handsome programme, elabo
rately gotten up.
Dancing started Immediately after
the grand march, and was interrupt
ed only by an intermission for sup
per, OF which large number par
took. The best Of order prevailed
throug hout, and the whole affair
proved one of the most attractive
social events Of the season, as the

spent yesterday in Wilmington, and
yesterday afternoon took trip, by
special train, over a portion of the
Delaware Western Railroad. In
company with several members OF
the Levy Court and number of in
vited guests from this city, they
started few minutes after three
O'Clock. The train ran out to the
junction and then across the Chris
llama bridge to the South Whining
ton extension proceeding far enough
to give the visitors view of the op-
erations of the National Dredging
Company. Afterwards a run was
made over the main line, stopping
near Ashland few minutes to de-
signate the point at which the pros
posed new line between Baltimore
and Philadelphia was to have tapped
the Delaware Western. At Ash.
land the train stopped for about a
quarter of an hour, and then return
ed to Wilmington, reaching here
about $50 O'Clock. The members
of the General Assembly proceeded
to Dover on the 6:20 train. They
were much pleased with their trip,
as were also the other invited guests.
