New ingram, tapestry and
Brussels carpets are already in;
and they are being looked at
too. The extension OF our
carpet rooms is finished, and
is halEflled with next falls
carpets. 1t is a large floor,
take it all together; but luckily,
it isn't all together. We have
one room for wilton, etc,
another for brussels, another
for tapestry, another for in
grain and another for mattings;
and our new workrooms are
large enough so that we hope
to avoid night-work, except in
the very busiest times.

Perhaps raising the roof for
the several extensions has
something to do with it. Per-
haps it is due to the blast OF

ACCORDING TO Republican logic the re-
sponsibility for pernicious legislation by a
body controlled by a Republican majority
must be thrown upon the Democratic mi
nority. This may be very eonsoling to those
indulging in such delightful manner of
reasoning, but the people have an unpieas-
ant habit Of holding majorities to a strict
accountability for all legislation coming
from their hands.

Owing to the constantly rapid increase of

come almost impossible for US, with our
present press room facilities, to
print the editions that are necessary
to supply the demand for the paper. De
spite every exertion we cannot get the last
course many of our subscribers
have good reason to complain on
on this account. We will have this diff
Guilty remedied, however, in about ten days
from now and beg the indulgence of our
patrons until then. We have ordered a
powerful water motor which will
take the place of the engine we
the capacity of our presses by at least thirty
per cent. This motor we expect to have in
week and then we will be able
to give our readers the latest news at the
earliest possible moment. Our next move
win be for an improved double cylinder
Hoe press with capacity Of four thousand
copies an hour. 1t must come finally and
from present Appearances 1t will have TO
come some time this fall. For the next
ten days however, we will continue to labor
under great difficulties, circumstance
which is as annoying to us as it can be to
our customers, and we hope they will bear
with the inconvenience to which we are un-
avoidably subjecting them until our new

A Battle For spoils.

The Republican party of Delaware,
through its accepted leaders, unsavory in
reputation though they be, is now engaged
in struggle for the political control of the
State, actuated only by desire to possess
and divide the political power and patronage
they would acquire in the remote event of
their success
Whatever Of principle that entered into
the Republican campaign was remorselcssly
sacrificed in advance of the State Con
yention The Gubematorial nomination
was conceded by common consent to Sussex
county, and in all honor the choice of that
county should have been accepted by the
Convention The delegate elections were
duly held, but the candidate who carried
majority of the Sussex county delegation
was coolly forced out Of the fight in order TO
permit the confirmation of a ticket selected
by few party bosses in Wilmington
three days before the Convention assembled
" We are licked" wrote Dan Layton from
Sussex to Anthony Higgins in Wilmington,
" make the best terms you can" And Mr.
Higgins proceeded to make the I" best
" terms he could, though he was unable
to make them good enough to secure his
own nomination for Congress. So he was
compelled to abdicate in favor of his friend
Mr.. Hastings, and in consideration of this
hauble the decent members of the Republi-
can party were deliberately sold out to the
Dover ring, Notwithstanding that BENJAMIN
+. Fooks, and not Albert Currey, held ma
jority of the delegates from Sussex county,
and that the friends of "County Rights .
loudly maintained that this principle had
prevailed at the delegate election
SO, when the Republican State Conven-
ton assembled it suppressed principle for
the sake of " harmony and sullenly con
trmed the ticket which Dick Harrington,
George 2. Fisher, Anthony Higgins and a
few other leaders had selected In advance
1t also placed the party management during
the campaign in the hands of Harrington
and his friends, and then adjourned after
one of the completest surrcnders to ring
rule and machine domination ever seen in
this State
Such are the conditions under which the Re
publican party appears before the people o
Delaware in the presenteampaign Its ticke
misrepresents the sentiment of a maiorit,
of its voters, while its chosen leaders are al
insult to every honest and respectable MAJ
who sincerely believes that the party ha
principles worth contending for, and leader
whom II is no disgrace to follow
1t has arrayed itself under the banner o
corruption and appeals to the people simpl,
10 place the offices of the State under it
control, giving assurance neither by its can
didates or its leaders that the State woulC
reap any benefit by allowing it a lease o
political power. As party organization
is simply engaged in battle for spoils,
fight for Office, and is utterly unworthy o
the confidence and support of the people.

The MORNING ORGAN makes the astonish-
ing discovery that Hon. John p. Cochran,
who was nominated for Governor in 1874,
was not the choice of the young Democrats
Of this city. Now, this Is too funny for any
thing, when 1t is considered that Mr.. Coch-
ran was supported almost unanimously by
the New Castle county delegates in the
Convention, and received the solid vote OF
the party throughout the county at the cleo
tion, beating the "Ring' candidate by a
handsome majority. Then, as now, the
"Ring" dictated the Republican nomination
for Governor, against the protests of the
better element of the party, and the history
of 1874 will be repeated at the election OF
1882.

THE REPUBLICANS have clear working
majority in both Houses Of Congress and
are consequently responsible for any
measure that may become law through
the action of that body. 1t matters moi
whether some Republican members wert
absent when the vote was taken on th'
''Robesonian stear' and thus shirked theil
duty, or whether they were present and voted
for it, the party is equally responsible toI
the success Of the steal. They had It IL
their power to prevent the passage Of thil
bill, but refused to do It and are therefor'
both actively and passively responsible FOL
one of the most gigantic acts ofrobbery that
ever disgraced any government. The morn
ing organ may twist, but it cannot twis
away from this fact. .l,,a

COLLECTOR ROBERTSON IN A RAGE.

lied IN ANY WAY TO REPRESENT HIM.
The INDIGNATION Of Collector Robertson, when 1t
was reported that he had been represented at the
meeting of the State Committee by Stephen b.
French was extreme. He refused at first to credit
the published statement and said that the whole
thing was beyond his comprehension. When the
report was confirmed he burst forth IN violent de-
nunciation Of Mr. French. He said passionately:
"For once In the last few weeks | am willing to
speak on political matters. Ihave never authorized
Mr. French, directly or Indirectly to act for
me on the State Committee / have given
authority to no one to represent me- l could not
conveniently be present at the meeting, and dld
not choose to be present by proxy. But II L had
wished to be represented at the meeting L should
have selected some member of the Westchester dele
CATION to represent me. The unauthorized act OF
Mr.. French was an insult to the delegates from
Westchester County and an outrage on me. l am
perfectly willing that man should pick my pocket,
but object to any one robbing me of my reputa-
ton. Mr.. French's representation of me LII the
State Committee is q terrible outrage"
person familiar with political matters IN west
chester County, who called at the Custom House
Yesterday to ask the Collector about the vote of the
State Committee, said
"The Collector is exceedingly mad. | do not
know what to think at the moment, but If nom
nation should be secured by this trick would not
give much for the Republican vote or WeStcnester
County this year."
