Desertlng Their Candidates.

The Republican journals of this city, afraid
TO boldly advocate the claims of their party
candidates, and thereby acknowledge their
submission to the obnoxious element of the
party that dictated the nominations, are
beating the bush in vain endeayor to win
success by evading the real issue of the cam
paign.
It will not do for these papers to make a
senseless and false howl about Democratic
frauds at the election of 1879. Immaculate
honesty at the polls need not be expected
from either side, but charges of fraud come
with poor grace from the advocates of a
party that for years maintained its hold
upon the city government by means of Illegal
negro voters whose forged tax receipts were
securely slowed away between elections in
the city's Water Department safe. Fra I'D
at elections is deplored by all good citizens,
and it is an offence which reputable people
win rejoice to see promptly punished, no
matter which party is affected thereby.
The howl of fraud, therefore, will not
answer as an issue in the present municipal
contest. The Republican party at its prim-
ary election in this city was controlled by
the very worst element in its ranks-an de
ment representing all that was obnoxious,
extravagant and corrupt in the worst city
government the people of Wilmington ever
suffered under, and which they Indignantly
kicked out of existence when its iniquities
were fully brought to light. The men
who shamelessly run up the Street
Department payroll to $1,000 in
a single week in order to hold men from
whom the only service expected was sup
port of the Republican ticket the men who
extravagantly exhausted the city's bank
account and paralyzed the appropriations
before two-thirds of the fiscal year had ex-
pired the men who forced the nomination
of the 4" Ring" candidate for Mayor upon
their party three years ago are the very men
who came to the front this year and secured
the nomination of the present Republican
city ticket. These are the facts which the
Republican journals of this city should
either contravert or acknowledge, and silly
howls about fraud in days gone by will not
satisfy the people.
The Republican journals should cease their
ridiculous squirming and frankly meet the
real issue of the campaign The GAZETTE
has charged that their candidates represen
the worst element of their party, and that
Republican victory at the June election
would again place the city government il
the hands of the men whose corrupt admin
istration almost resulted in municipal bank
ruptcy. This is the issue in which the peopl
are virtually interested, but which the Re
publican papers are afraid to meet. The
are ashamed of their cause and ashamed t
warmly advocate the candidates who repre-
sent it.

GOOD CROPS ANTICIPATED.
Previous Reports Encouraging, but Fear
Expressed of Damage by Wet Weathe

Previous Reports Encouraging, but Fears
Expressed of Damage by Wet Weather.
CHICAGO, May 12.-The continued wet
and stormy weather causes fear regarding
the damage likely to occur to winter wheat.
The previous reports have been encouraging.
In Iowa the average of wheat is smaller than
ever, especially of spring wheat. The con-
ditiOn of the corn lands is not fattering, the
recent rains having retarded the planting.
The acreage of oats is large and the pros
poets are good, the same being said of rye
and grasses. The fruit prospects are good
In Illinois the winter wheat is in good con-
dition. The acreage of both winter and
| spring wheat is small. A large area of oats
has been sown. Corn planting has been de
layed, but the acreage promises to be large.
The fruit was considerably damaged by
frost.
In Missouri the acreage of wheat has
fallen off one-half, while that of oats has
increased one-quarter. There is decrease
in corn planting, and the ground is in pool
condition. The fruit was injured by frost
In Nebraska the spring opened early, and
all the crops were planted in good season
The acreage of corn has increased 90 pei
cent. The prospects are very bright in al
lines. The acreage of wheat and oats II
large. In Kansas the prospects for al
classes of crops are very promising. A
yield of so bushels per acre of wheat is ex
pected.
The wheat crop of Arkansas this season i
the best for 10 years. In many localities /
is already harvested and the yield is pro
: nounced excellent 1t is fully maturet
and firm berry, and in some countie
, averages 20 bushels per acre Dispatche
from California are less favorable, and ther
is ample reason for thinking that the yiel
, there will be materially reduced from Garlic
c estimates.

In TWO WEEKS, under the new manage
ment, the GAZETTE has more than doubled
It's circulation, and the increase in sub
scribers gives no signs of abatement Such
a substantial success is very gratifying and
encourages us to renewed efforts in making
the GAZETTE the best paper ever printed in
Wilmington. With the arrangements we
are perfecting we soon expect I'd have the
largest circulation in the city, confident that
the excellent paper we are now giving fol
such a small cost will surely find its way
into every family and secure a permanent
welcome. Advertisers will find the GAZETTE
the very best medium of communication
with the people.

THE CITY ELECTION takes place three
weeks from to-day. The issues are fully de
veloped, the general tickets of both parties
nominated and the ward nominations under
way. The time is limited, but much work is
to be done in fully organizing the Demo-
cratic party SO as to bring out every vote on
the day of election. The outlook for the
Democracy is encouraging in every respect.
They have a good cause and good ticket,
representing the honest sentiment of the
party, while the Republicans are handi
capped by weak cause and ticket forced
by corrupt ring" influences, against the
protests Of the more respectable element o
the party. The GAZETTE gives ita candi
dates proud and hearty support, while the
Republican papers are ashamed to cordially
sustain their candidates and thereby endorse
the element they represent. Nevertheless
the Democracy should go to work as active
as though the enemy were strong and har
monious, and make the victory in Jun
sweeping and effective.

The Irish Question.

The gravity of the situation in Ireland
daily increases, and the hope of peaceful
solution of the existing difficulties, so bright
few days ago, has expired. The Repres-
sion bill now under consideration in the
House of Commons is likely to become a
law, but its enactment win not restore peace
to Ireland, while 1t will increase the burden
of tyranny and oppression under which the
Irish people have groaned for years. The
bill is the most stringent coercive
measure ever proposed by England,
and most tyrannical in its pro-
visions. In all respects It is bitterly
vindictive law, the enforcement Of which
cannot fail to meet with vigorous resist
ance, which the armed power of the govern
ment will scarcely be able to successfully
repress.
Mr.. Gladstone lost noble opportunity
In not rising above the public clamor caused
by the assassination and insisting upon a
continuance of the policy which was result
ing so satisfactorily when the unfortu-
nate assassination, fraught with such
horrible results, frenzied the minds
of his people. He would have found
the friends of Ireland ready to more than
meet him half way in the enforcement of a
peace policy and to do all that in them lay
to counteract the effects of the terrible muir
der in which they had no part or sympathy,
and which has wrought such evil upon their
unfortunate heads. But Gladstone yielded
to the mob sentiment of England, and the
future of Ireland is again involved in gloom.

Give the Young Man a Chance.

IPhIIadeIphia Record.
Why the newspapers should pitch into
young Mr.. English now that he has been
nominated for Congress, as some of them are
doing, simply because he is the son of his
father, we cannot understand. As far as
can be learned, Mr.. English is a very indus
trious, worthy young man. In this great
land it is not every lad who is born with a
golden spoon in his mouth, and we insist
that, spoons or no spoons, there must be
fair play. 1t is no disgrace to be rich. Many
wealthy young men in this country have
proved very useful and worthy citizens, as
well as efficient and hard-working public
officials, like young Mr.. Belmont, for in
stance. Give Young Mr.. English a chance.

THE INDEPENDENTS are raising the ban
ner of revolt in Pennsylvania, and Cameron
will soon have his hands full in repressing
the "kickers." The Democrats will also
take an active part this time, and the ridicu-
lous campaign of last year, which they
allowed to go by default through their
senseless inactivity, will not be repeated.

SMITH, THE CONTESTANT for the seat now
occupied by Congressman Shelley, of the
Fourth Alabama district, died in Washing

of forty-eight hours. With this awful warn

ceased paying contestants expenses as freely

scarce In the future.
