at Chicago they again defeated, in con-
vention, the machine men, led by Mr..
Conkling, and nominated Mr.. Garfield
as lineal successor of Mr.. Hayes.
The majority by which he was elected
was the proof that, under the pure
administration of Hayes, the people
had recovered faith in the Republican
Party. But, with the death of Garfield,
the machine got control of the Govern
ment, and it has run it in its own boast
ed way. The result is the utter and
terrible rout of the party in the cleo
tions just held. 1t pays, after all, for a
party to be decent. Success is not
bought with offices, but earned by
worthiness. Mr.. Hayes may yet have
another future before him. The people
will remember what President Andrew
D. White said, the other day, at Cleve-
land, that the administration of Mr..
Hayes will stand forth as one of the
purest, best, and most successful in the
history of the country. But the p0liti-
clans do not like Mr.. Hayes, nor Mrs.

THE Middletown Transcript gives a
substantial account of how sixty negroes
went from Appoquinimink and St.
Georges hundreds to Wilmington and
Christiana hundreds and voted on
fraudulent tax receipts, and very prop
erly wants the case investigated, be-
lieving it will give the sheriffs Office to
Mr. Lynch. This is year of election
surprises, and this of voting false tax
receipts is not the least. Heretofore
the complaints have been loud and
deep from the Republicans that the
Democrats, having all the collectors
were issuing innumerable quantities Of
false tax receipts. How is it that the
tables are all at once so suddenly turn
ed? Have the Republicans been fool
ing with the same trap and got caugh
in the first attempt, or is the proposed
investigation to be of certain clas
only?

STATE OF DELAWARE, I


We are approaching the annual period which
has been established by custom for a public
acknowledgement of our obligations to Almighty
God for manifold and unmerrited blessings " hich
he has so graciously bestowed upon US during
the year. The peace and good order which has
prevailed withing the State as the result of a
every department of the government, the abun-
dant harvest with which the labor of our hands
has been blessed and the exemption of our homes
from pestilence and famine, should cause us TO
turn with reverent and grateful hearts to Him
who is the great of life, health, prosperity
and happiness.
Now therefore. !, John W. Hall. Governor Of the
State of Delaware, de hereby set apart
Thursdny,NOve 80, 1882,
as day of Thanksgiving and praise. and most
earnestly request the people TO assemble at their
respective places of worship, between the hours
of 10 o'clock, A. NJ and - o'clock, NJ. for the pur-
pose of rendering thanks to God for His mercy
and goodness in the past and invoking Him to SC
guide and direct Us in the future that we may be
able to fully appreciate and discharge all the re-
sponsibilities which accompany life i'll all It's
various relations
In testimony whereof, /, JOHN W. HALL
Governor aforesaid. have hereunto SCI

Gov. HALL in commissioning Mr..
Martin Sheriff of New Castle county
did himself credit for not yielding to
the intense partisan and gambling
fraternity of Wilmington who urged
him to do defiance to law. Not only
is he sustained by the Judiciary, but by
the best thinkers of all classes. If
there are any wrongs to be righted, the
court is the proper tribunal.

IT has been charged that whenever
certain methods failed to meet desired
results, the Legislature has been ap-
pealed to secure the object. Thus,
failing to secure the sheriff through the
Governor by the subversion of law,
the Gazette takes comfort in the expec-
tation that the next Legislature will
change the Board of Canvass, as con-
stituted since the adoption of the Con-
stitution, into a Returning Board like
those of the Southern States.

IT is comforting to see the Gazette so
exercised over fraudulent tax receipts ;
from what it says it is the other OK that
is this time getting gored. Now that
the Gazette sees the enormity of the
thing, we hope it will go to the root of
the matter with a searching investiga-
