How q Republican Orator Came Out
Boldly and Advocated This Offensive

10 TIE Editor Of The Gazette: Mr.. Con-
rad came out fiatfooted for mixed schools, at
Tuesday nights ratification meeting. This
may do very well for the aristocratic
bachelor, but how does 1t strike our
mechanics and laboring men, who have
chlidren TO send to school and are com
PEELED to depend on our public schools
Mixed schools for you, voters of Delaware,
II that wonderful morality party' wins in
November. Stair builders and other poor
men may seat their children in mixed
schools If they cannot afford to send them
to private schools, SO said the Republicans
on Tuesday night,
Decent and careful thinking colored men
VIII hardly endorse Mr.. Conrads advocacy
oil mixed schools, to say nothing Of the
white men of Delaware
All men, other than the fanatical Repub-
liean leaders of this State, be they white or
black, can Sc the error of such course.
MIR. Bird exhorts the Republicans to fight
together now, and If they must tight among
themselves, to do SO over the offices and
spoils after November
This was very frank avowal OF Republi
can ideas, and must have been an evidence
OF inJudicious honesty, resulting from pre-
vious conviviality on the part OF the Repub-
lican speakers.

A GAME OF BALL.
Professionals Amusing Themselves with
an Amateur Nine.

an Amateur Nine.
The game of ball yesterday at the Union
street grounds between the Quckstep club
OF this city and the Athletic Of PHILADELPHIA
was decidedly one-sided affair. The visit
ors played with their guests as cat does
with mouse and, as the small boy re
marked, had regular feast" The first
inning they ran up eight runs, and at the
end Of the third had 10. By loose playinp
at the bat they only added three more runs
TO their score during the rest Of the game
and by sharp fielding soon ended the con.
test, the Quickstep only getting two runs.
The total score stood - to 9, but being
very carelessly kept there is but little de-
pendence to be placed upon ii. The list of
errors was terrible, but the game was only
gotten up to afford amusement to the hun
dreds OF spectators present, the Quickstep
never imagining but that they were merely
standing up to be knocked -.-s
In the second inning Crummey, the home
catcher, had his thumb dislocated and split
so badly that the bone could be seen. He
retired and Mitchell took his place, while
Thomas A. Kane was placed at centre.
O'Brten, the regular catcher Of the Athletic
acted as umpire, and made some very
transparent decisions In favor of the Quick
step.
The mines engaged were. Quiekstep-
Crummey, catcher; Gallagher, pitcher; Me-
Vey, first base; Mitchell, second; Britton,
third; Green, short stop; Fitzgerald, right
field; Higgins, centre; Allen, left. Athlet-

The Hest Ticket For Years.
tsmyrna TIMES, Rep. ]

lHHiliilh liHhtSI DtD.J
The Democrats of New Castle county are
first in the field with their Legislative
ticket, and 1t must be said for it, that 1t is
one of the best tickets that the county has
presented for years. There is no evidence
that it is ''set up" ticket, a machine
nomination of certain political leaders, but
rather the free choice of the hundreds they
represent. 1t has not always been thus,
especially in the lower counties, and ii
looks like coming back to the better
methods that ruled in the days when
the contest was between the Wings and
Democrats, when each WED with the other
in putting representative, independent men
In nomination for office. There is something
humiliating In the fact that ticket can be
formed with men foreordaned to vote this
or that way in the interest of man or cabal
of party. Let the two lower counties
emulate the example set by New Castle.
Our best men have declined for some years
to allow the use of their names on the ticket,
because the association brought them dis
credit rather than honor. 1t looks as ii
there was to be a change for the better, and
that both parties will have regard to the
character and personal make up of their
respective tickets.

THE USUAL WAY.
Specimen of New York Lying In Respect TO
Delaware Politics.
[Syracuse, n. r, Standard.

[syracuse, N. Y, standard.l
If any State suffers from the need of a
political revolution, Delaware does. Poor,
little intolerant, backward, stunted, Bour-
bon-ridden Delaware, tied to its whipping
post and scourged by the political bigets 1t
has reared ! Rooted and rotted In
Democracy, ruled by one or two families Of
aristocrats for generations, 1t has stood as a
moldy picture of the past while other States
have rushed by it. Z Even its neighbors, New
Jersey and the, two Virginias, have caught a
breath from the nostrils of Progress and
have got under feeble motion. But Mary
land and Delaware alone have resisted the
invitation to keep step with the Union.
Yet vital stir has been felt In, both of
those mud-stuck commonwealths. The Re-
publicans are gaining strength and boldness;
they have won notably in municipal cleo
tions within year or two and, despite an
opposition almost ferocious, they have pro-
gressed to point where their ultimate con-
troll of Delaware at least looks probable. 4
At their convention just held in Dover,
the Republicans of the smallest State but
one sent out clarion platform, whose voice
will make its every nook and hollow rever-
berate. IL enforces protection, takes adj
Vanced ground on aid to American
shipping, urges civil service reform Gas does
every party platform drawn this year, we
believe), denounces the disgraceful inyen-
tions OF the Democracy to nullify Republi-
can ballots, calls for free schools-which act
on Southern Democrats like arsenic on rats
and impeaches the corrupt administra-
ton of affairs into which the State has
fallen by the prolonged authority of one
political element. Bayard and Salisbury
have business ahead to defeat that platform
and the men at the back of it.
A few vigorous ReDuhlicau iournoIs
planted here and there In Delaware soil
several strong, reliable dailes and number
of able wceklies-would bear fruit in the
growth of better institutions for that State
The investments might for a time be like
water poured out and apparently wasted Oh
a sandy soil; but they would not be thrown
away. 4. |

LONDON, Sept. 13.--Major General Nc
Pherson has telegraphed from Zagazlg to
the War Office here that he made a forced
march after the capture of Tel-el-Keb and
occupied Zagazig at 4.14 o'clock this after

rendered to the British. The people are
submissive.

arrival of the British Commissioner, Sir
Charles Wilson, now Consul General for
Australia, who must proceed to Constanti-
nople to arrange the details for the expedi-
tion and then go to the headquarters of the
Turkish force. Thus everything will be
over before the Turks can possibly arrive in
Egypt.
The Daily Ne0S has the following dispatch
from Constantinople : 1t is stated in official
circles here that If no agreement is arrived
at by Thursday In regard to the Anglo
Turkish military convention the Porte will

HOW Is IT DONE?


Summoned After the Case is Settled.
On Tuesday two small boys were arrested
for stealing peaches "oyer Third street
bridge, and afterwards dismissed by the
Mayor. When the arrest was made John
Mcllugh interfered with the officer, and
warrant was issued for his arrest. Yester-
day morning he was given private hearing
at police conrt--a common occurrence of
late-and is said to have been fined. Yes
terday afternoon Walter II. Peace and one
or two Others We're summoned 10 appear
last evening at O'Clock as witnesses in the
charge against MclIngh.
Peace told the officer serving the subpoena
that he knew little II anything about the
case, and might possibly lose his position at
the rolling mill II he attended. He was told
that he would have to appear, and if he
didn't come he would be taken. Accord
ingly last evening, the witnesses were on
hand at the stated time, but were told they
were not needed, as the case had been settled
in the morning-several hours before the
parties were notified to appear.
Peace applied to the Chief for his witness
fee, having responded as directed, but was
bluffed and told that " there was nothing In
IL" The disappointed witness was very
much annoyed and feels as if he was treated
unfairly and very strangely by the officers of
the city An explanation is needed.
