the reduction of letter postage to the rate of

The Republican candidate for Mayor has
doubtless learned by this time that HE politi-
Gel couch is not bed Of roses, by any means.
1t was bad enough to be handicapped by the
support and fellowship of the old ''City
90 Ring" but to be asked by the Reform
Association to cut loose from their compan-
ionship was horrible in view Of the certain
defeat such action would entail. Now
comes another perpledtJ in, the shape Of .
request from the colored voters for promises
of positions on the police force in case he is
elected.
There Is nothing unreasonable in this re-
quest. The negro voters of Wilmington
comprise nearly one-half of the Republican
party, and though they have voted the Re
publican ticket for years they have received
no official recognition beyond few humbly
subordinate positions In the post office,
custom house and United States Courts. II
DR.. Wales is elected Mayor he will owe his
election to the colored voters, and in all con-
sistency he cannot refuse their applications
for positions on the force. The people may
therefore expect to see negro policemen in
the event of Republican success at the
| city election.

Summary Of Proceedings In Senate and
House.
WASHINGTON, May FIN the Senate to-
day, Mr.. Hale introduced bill extending
the rebate of duties on shipbuilding
materials, under the actof 1874, to wire rope
already imported. This is supplementary to
a wire rope bill recently introduced by Mr..
Hale. A bill was considered for the exten.
sion of steam grain shovel patent, reported
with a substitution Of seven years, in the
place of ten, as the tern of extension. The
bill went over at the end of the morning
hour. The Five Per Cent. Land bill was
discussed and went over without action.
After an executive session the Senate ad-
journed.
In the House, discussion of the bill to ex-
tend the charters of the National banks was
resumed. The bill was supported by Messrs.
Hardenburg of New Jersey, Mutchler and
Ermentrout of Pennsylvania, Hutchins oi
New York, and Briggs of New Hampshire
Messrs. Culbertson and Mills of Texas, and
Murch of Maine, opposed the bill. At
o'clock debate was suspended and the bill
was read by sections for amendment. After
several amendments had been offered, the
bill went over for the day. Mr.. Hazleton
from the Committee on Elections, presented
report on the election case of Lowe VS..
Wheeler, from the Eighth Congressional
district of Alabama, declaring the contestant.
Lowe, entitled to the sent. 1t was laid over
for future action. The Speaker presented a
communication from the Agricultural Com
missioner relative to the growth of the ein-
chona plant in the United States, which was
referred. Adjourned.

SENATOR CAMERON scored another triumph
yesterday in securing the confirmation of
Kaufman and jackson, recently appointed
Collectors Of Internal Revenue for the Ninth
and Twenth-third Pennsylvania districts.
"Independent' Senator Mitchell feebly op
posed the confirmation, but he could not
rally a corporal's guard to his support and
Cameron won with ease. The appointees, OF
course, are Cameron's friends and they sue
eeed men who were removed solely because
they would not obey the dictates of the
Cameron Ring" In Pennsylvania, as in
Wilmington, the Ring" triumphs every

Mr.. CONRAD, the Republican candidate
for President Of City Council, receives a
back-handed slap from the Nelcs, in an
editorial this morning on "Boyish Journal
"ism." The editorial refers to the publica-
ton in the NeUs when Mr.. Conrad was
editor Of the article which led to the
Courtney-Tatnan trouble, and refers to that
gentleman as an amateur without any dis
" tinct conception Of the proper function of
a newspaper, and with very little sense OF
the responsibility which = \ the press
"imposes upon those who are connected
"with it,"
Now, this is very mean in the Ne,rs. Mr..
Conrad, personally, is an excellent gentle
man, of fair ability, but while the public are
well aware that he is an 'amateur" in poll
tics, and holds to the aristocratic notion that
workingmen should not aspire to political
positions, they did not really suppose his
journalistic abilities were of the "amateur'
order, conspicuous only for the absence o
"any distinct conception of the proper func
81 tion of a newspaper" and a lack o
/" sense of the responsibility which thu
"press imposes" If the GAZETTE had mad
Mr.. Conrad's newspaper imperfections E,
boldly public at this time, the NeDs woul,
doubtless have denounced the publication a
campaign SANDER, but as that paper die
the mischief itself, deliberately and at con
siderable length, we cannot be blamed fo
calling attention to it. In view of Mr. Con
RAIDS peculiar political utterances in tn,
4 past the party feels inclined to keep hin
closely muzzled during the present cam
4 paign, but after this mornings publication
it is likely Mr.. Conrad and his friends vii
endeavor to muzzle the Ne,ps.

The REPUBLICAN PAPERS cheekily as
sumo that the majority of the new taxables
must necessarily reside in the Northern
district, and charge Mr.. Hughes, the as
SCISSOR for the Southern district, with pad
ding his assessment lists. Doubtless the
assessment of the Northern district would
bear little examination. We do not
charge that it was padded" but we know
it omitted large amount of taxable prop
erty some of which was prominently located
on Market street, and should not have been
missed This sort of assessment is apt to
result in more loss 10 the taxpayers than
any amount of padding could possibly
cause.

WILMINGTON, THURSDAY. MAY Is.
A ReOkless Assertion.

The excellent character of the city ticket
nominated by the Democrats has been
thorn in the side Of the Republican papers of
this city, who have been unwillingly com
PEELED TO support nominees of their own
party selected and controlled by the unsav-
ory "'City Ring" Thus far they have not
dared to attack the personal character of the
Democratic nominees, but the NeWs this
morning, driven TO desperation from lack of
a better argument, inferentially charges Mr.,
Carpenter, the Democratic candidate for
Mayor, with not having preserved his good
i" reputation intact" We challenge the Neps
to prove this assertion, and show how, by a
single act or deed during the course of his
official or private life, Mr.. Carpenter has sui
lied the fair reputation and excellent char
acter which made him so thoroughly the
choice of his party as its candidate for Mayor.
We challenge that paper to prove that Mr..
Carpenter, as collector of county taxes,
failed to perform his duties in a thoroughly
honest and efficient manner and to promptly
account for every dollar of the peoples
money that passed through his hands. And
finally we challenge the Negs to prove that
the Republican candidate for Mayor is not
the choice of the old "City Ring" element
of the party, whose administration of the
city government was so corruptly extrava-
giant that the people Indignantly kicked it
out of power at the first opportunity.
There are other pertinent matters we
would like to press upon the attention Of
our contemporary, but as 1t is already weak
and enfeebled from constant nausea conse-
quent upon being compelled to swallow OBJ
noxious political doses by giving half
hearted support to the "Ring" nominees,
we will kindly forbear until it RECEIVERS from
the blow caused by seeing its last strong
hold-the post office-fall into the greedy
clutches of its ancient enemy. Meanwhile
it can employ the idle hours of convalescence
in determining how to prove to the satisfac-
tion of the people that the candidates of its
party are not the creatures of the "Ring."

of favor is preferable TO the odor of the old

In its columns, the news of the world is
given every day in the year. Its two thous-
and correspondents located in every section
of this country and Europe, are the most
reliable news gathcrers TO be had, and the
history of each days events will be faith
fully recorded and presented to the public
through the Enquirer, free from distortion
or prejudice.
The province of a newspaper is to record
facts, to separate truth from ialsehood. How
well the Enquirer has succeeded in this
duty,we feel pardOnable pride in referring
to its files and past record for evidence of
its ability and thoroughness in presenting
all matters treated upon in their true light
The people of this age require paper fully
abreast OF the times, cOequal in enterprise
and material advancement in all mercantile
and political interests, such will the
Enquirer continue to be. Candor and fair
ness will be accorded to all questions and
parties, but the facts will never be perverted
The immediate future has in store matters
OF grave interest to all, and the general
welfare will largely depend upon the
influences of those who are fully conyersant
with the facts occurring and to occur. The
policy of the government but partially
developed by the New Administration, was
fast winning the confidence of the people,
when the hand OF the assassin placed control
ofafiairs in charge of faction whose leaders
have not at all times received favorable criti-

policy is to be, will be foreshadowed during
