DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.
A Ticket That VIII Win.

1t would be idle to attempt to conceal the
pleasure and satisfaction we experience at
the work of the Democratic State Conven-
ton, and at being able to fling to the breeze
banner bearing the names of such glorious
standard-bearers as CHARLES C. STocKLEY
of Sussex county for Governor and CHARLES
B. LORE of Wilmington for Representative
in Congress.
From the outset the GAZETTE has been
emphatically in favor of respecting the
choice of Sussex county for Governor. In
accordance with the traditions of the party
the position was conceded to that county,
and the Convention only awaited an express
sion of the choice of the Sussex delegates to
give it an unqualified endorsement. True,
these gentlemen, owing to the contest
among themselves for the supremacy,
failed to give definite expression
in advance of the nomination, but the
Stockley sentiment was uppermost from the
first, and the decisive ballot showed bevond
the shadow of a doubt that CHARLES G.
STooKLlS was not only the choice of his
own county, 'Utt of the entire States. He
was, In fact, the faorte of the Democratic
party of Delaware, auI. New Castle, Kent
and Sussex hastened to array themselves
under the Stockley banner before it was
fairly unfurled to the breeze.
1t can be truly said, without detracting
from the merits of the other excellent gen
tlemen placed in nomination, that the Con-
Vention could have selected no stronger or
more acceptable candidate than CHARLES
c. STocKLEY to head the State ticket He
is emphatically man of the people He is
broad and liberal in his views, progressive
in his instincts and an able represen-
tative of the advanced ideas and
vigorous, aggressive sentiment that marks
the Democracy of to-day. He will be no
mere figure head in the contest, but a bold
and martial leader, who will give the COM
mand of battle to willing followers and lead
in person the Democratic hosts to glorious
victory. As his ardent champion, Mr..
Causey, so aptly expressed it, he twill 90
through Sussex with a sword in each
hand" and old Sussex, true 10 her Demo
cratic instincts, will amply verify the pre-
diction made by the gentleman who so elo-
quently placed MR.. STocKLEY in nomina-
tion, and give an old-time majority for her
WI ShOlCt anu but CHOICE Oh InG convention,
To the young Democracy of Delaware the
nomination of Mr.. SToCKLEY will be par.
ticularly acceptable. Though well ad
vanced in years he is as young in heart AZ
In the days of his boyhood, and no man has
more hearty sympathy with the aims and
purposes of the rising generation. The
young voters will find In him a faithful
friend and counsellor, one whom they never
need fear to approach with grievance for
adjustment or favor to present for his con-
slderation. He is, as has oft been said, "the
youngest old man in Delaware" and is as
truly representative of the young men OF
the State as though his hair was glossy as
the ravens wing, and his cheek tinged with
the ruddy glow of youth.
Mere words are inadequate to express the
thorough satisfaction of the people of the
entire State, regardless of politics we may
truly say, at the nomination of CHARLES B.
LORE, Esq, as the candidate for Represen-
tative in Congress. To him the nomination
came unsolicited, unsought, and sincerely
undesired. lie was the spontaneous
choice of the party's representa-.
tives, and not voice through.
= out the length and breadth of tn
State will be raised against the selection
His fitness for the position is unquestioned
and it is unanimously conceded that he will
make the best and strongest Representativ
in Congress the State has had for years. Iii
name is " tower of strength" which will
add hundreds of votes to the party, anC
in connection with his popular colleague
he will inaugurate a campaign that will fiji
the whole State with enthusiasm 70
STocKLEY, LORE and the whole ticket. II
needs no introduction to the people o
Delaware, for on every farm and in ever,
city and town and village from Brandywn
to Baltimore, he is known in persol
as well as by reputation, ant
thousands of voters will heart
lily support him, not only as tn
candidate of their party but as valued per
sOnal friend. Fortunate indeed is the party
TO possess a candidate who so thorough,
embodies all the essential elements of sue
cess and is SO supremely satisfactory t.
every voter in the State.
And so we take off our hat and give ,
hearty hurrah for the ticket. 1t is a repre-
