MomOcrattc Prescription in DelA'
ware.

WaE0s
In one or two articles we have shown
how shallow was the pretended love
and respect of the Democratic party OF
Delaware for the Irishmant and we
truthfully showed that although half
the Democratic party of Wilmington
was made up of Irishmen, whenever
one of them attempted 20 aspire higt or
than policeman or City Councilman
he was pounced upon by the Know
Nothing prcscriptive wing OF his own
party and most numerically slaugh-
tered. In order to contradict this dam
aging exposure of blistering ingratitude
and treachery, the penny bugle OF the
Bourbons has attempted refntation
by publishing an article from the Phila'
delphia Times, showing that the Irish
were not forgotten in the distribution
of political honors by the Democrats OF
Philadelphia, New York and other
places. There must have been some
thing said in some of the public prints
about the unfaithfulness of the Demo
cratic party Of Pennsylvania to the
Irish Catholic wing OF the party in
shat State, that caused Patrick Ger
T Rspondent of the Times, to come to the
defence of the party, ami he has made
n pretty good showing for several pla-
ces, where tie party has been more
magnanimous to the Irishman than il
has been in Delaware.
1t is true as "Patcick" says thai
John Lee Carroll was elected Governor
of Maryland, but Maryland is moi
Delaware, and Governor Carroll, though
q Catholic, belonged to one of the oldes
families in the State, and was any
thing else than an Irisbman. 1t is tru'
that General shields, was elected to
the United States Senate from two diff
ferent States, Illinois and Missouri, bu
not from Delaware. 1t is true tina
General W. s. RosecranZ was elected
represen tative in Congress from Cali
fornia, (not from New York; but Cali
fornia is not Delaware. 1t is true tina
M. P. P.O'Connor was elected to Congress
from South Carolina, but Figi lslande
could have as easily been elected wit
tissue ballots and false counts, and the
South Carolina is not Delaware, an
there are few Irishmen there compare
10 the number there are in Delaware
Nobody will dispute the election
Senator Herman, Of New York, to tn
United States Senate, and the electio
of Daniel o. 'Reilley and James O'BrieI
from the City of New York to the Hous
of Representatives, but Now York
not Delaware by a long ways. 1t ina
be little refreshing to "Patrick" (
the Tombs and the penny Bourbon I
this city, to be told that the last tW
were elected by combination of IL
Republican and Democratic votes owe
the Regular Democratic nominees.
may also be refreshing to state tn
Mayor Grace, the present Mayor
New York, an Irishman and Cathol
came within 5000 votes Of being d
feated in city that finds no trouble
rolling up from $4,000 to $4,000 Dem
cratic majority and sometimes by ext
e1ertion the majority reaches 75,O(
1t will also not be out of place to sta
that Mayor Grace is not unmindtul
the insincerity Of his own party and
now revenging himself upon it by a
lively supporting the citizens ticket a
Allan Campbell for Mayor in pref
enoe to the regular Democratic tick
We will not deny either that Patri
HAmmill and W. G. O'Brien WI
elected to Congress from Maryland,
Maryland, though very close neil
Dor, as we have said before, is not De
ware.
Coming nearer home, the Times G.
respondent refers as a proof Of the
sincerity of the Democratic party
wards the Irish Catholic vote, to
election of W. V. McGrath, 81
