THE WILMINGTON ELECTION for
municipal officers on Saturday last was
looked to with more than usual inter-
est throughout the State, as the success
full party in getting control of its
machinery was considered to have the
advantage in the State election in
November. The Democrats, as per
their organ the Gazette, felt fully as
sured of victory and the editor in
Mondays issue says he and the party
do not deny profound disappOint-
ment at the result" The majority fol
DIR. Wales for Mayor was 134, and
Pierce, for city Treasurer, 303, the
majorities of the ether candidates rang
ing between these tive. AS the party
in municipal control is considered t.
have an advantage of 500 or 600 vOtei
in a general election, it is not to b.
wondered at that there was elation OIL
the one side and depression on tn
other.
Wilmington, as II city, has show
some reprehensible politics. Gallaghe
reduced the former Republican contro
to ring" and the better class of hi
party when he was put up for Mayor
absented themselves from the poll:
letting the Democrats in with abOu
600 majority. Recent elections hav
shown much corruption in the use {
bogus tax receipts and other mean
familiar to the party trickster, and tn
contestants went to the polls on Satul
day with blood in the eye" Fore

, scanned every movement and me
were ready to act in every emergenc.
There was considerable turbulence an

: ed, but the voice of the people is nj

TIE course of President Arthur in
forming q close alliance with the
" Bosses'' in the Republican party,
notably with those of Pennsylvania and
New York, may secure for him, if that
is what he is after, the nomination for
'S4. but he will find that nomination"
and election" under such influences
may be widely different in their results.
Had he carried ont the pledge of main
tanning Mr. Garfeld's policy he might
have succeeded, but the choice of the
people as manifested in selecting the
former is being entirely ignored. The
appointments to Office are all at the
diction of the bosses who work with
the machine. The voters who are in
dependent Of the machine cannot get
the ear Of the President, nor can he in
return expect 70 get 'hcir sympathy OF
vote. Pennsy' - Aar 80 declared
and so will New York. BIF. Arthur
was a success in the peculiar methods
of the municipal politician, but tins
national scope is apparently two broad
and wide for him. He likes the "bOyi
that run wild der machine" and ht
seems in fair way of running thu
machine into the ground. The pros
poets of divided party is watched
with eager interest by the Demoerats
who will not be slow in taking advap
tage of all weak places in the enemie
lines.

CONGRESS was in Juror all last week
over the granting of legally elected
members their seats but who had been
kept out in the cold for six months
because by party machinery, others
had obtained their places. 1t seems
the greatest difficulty possible for a
party in power to do justice to any Op-
ponent. One mans case was so fragrant
an abuse of right that it was finally
perMitted to come to a vote, but the
others were fought with the greatest
determination, and fillibustering was
met by revolution as the only way to
reach a practical result in granting the
rigntfully elected men their seats. Six
months of time and preparation was
sufficient to prepare every member
with proper knowledge of the respec-
tive claims, and ofthe two methods, that
of amending the rules so as to prevent
the obstruction of business by dilatOry
motions, was the "short cut to the
end to be reached. The new rules are
real gain to the public interests which
is above party. 1t will stand i'll the
way of Republican filibustering in SINH
lar contests and will secure a speedy
settlement of cases in which discussions
produces no OBJECT on the vote.

Federal office-holders; but it is slow to
revolt against a united North. When

Lowe can find following in political
rebelliOns in the South, it proves that
the unrest is so deep and widespread
that it is ready to accept Reputation,

luton in the North, the South would
welcome him as a deliverer and honor

a communication from Smyrna, a state
meHt concerning the refusal of Rev. J.

marriage ceremony fer VIM. Sweetman
and Sarah A. Kirkley, of Kent county,

refusal, that the man was fifty years or

also that he, Smith, saw "a sign of
intemperanee," on the part of the man.

The law Of our State is that every
marriage shall be accounted for upon a
blank prepared and furnished by the
Recorder of Deeds of the county, and
one item in that form is the ages of the
parties marrying. Mr.. Sweetman told
