Tine domination ELECTION To day
By the time the REPUBLICAN reaches
bur readers the nomlp alton election
for Republican candidate for Mayor
will he fully under way and from the
interest that is manifested in the cleo
tion . large vote will no doubt be
polled. 1t is seldom that four candidates
come before the people tor the office of
Mayor 80 well endorsed as the four
distinguished gentlemen who are now
polling their respective strength at the
polls. They are all well known citizens
of character and ability and either of
them would make most excellent
chief magistrate of the city. Francis
Vincent repeatedly and with signal
ability filed the office of Alderman
before that Office was abolished by the
division of the city into nine wards, and
since then he has repeatedly been
elected City Treasurer. He also has
considerable celebrity as the historic
grapher ofDelaware "Vincent's history
of Delaw ware" is an excellent work, 80
far as it goes, and whether he is elected
Mayor or not we hope he may be en-.
abled to finish . work Of SO much
merit.
Samuel A. Ma"allister, Esq, is also
well known, being member of the bar,
and Until year ago City Solicitor for
= number of years. He was a gallant
soldier whose wounds attest his brav-
cry and devotion to his country's cause

every brave man was wounded who
fought for his country. Colonel Mac

movements in the State and endeavored

n. L. Litchtenstein ia one of the lead
ing merchants of our city and has also
been considerable in public life as .
member of the City Council from the
Eleventh. Ward and afterwards as Presi-
dent of the City Council. He filed
every position of honor and RESPONSE
bility with such signal ability that he
became a strong candidate with the
people and generally polled more than

Doctor John P. Wales is prominen,
physician of the city, and not to knew
him either in person or by reputation
Is to plead ignorance and DISTINGUISHED
mess of passing events. He comes o
the old line of Delaware stock and be
longs to family that was never want
ing in devotion to the country. DR.
Wales during the war did his duty vel
in the position he was called to fill
but being absorbed in the practice o
his profession he has never figured rs
civil officer. None can doubt his abil
ity and special filness for the office fol
which he has been made . candidat.
by his friends.
No matter which of the four candi
dates named is nominated to-day Their
is no good reason why he should not ge

this he will be elected Mayor Of Will
