The nomination of our Gubernatorial

THE nomination of our Gubernatorial
candidates has had an effect not spe
cially in view in their selection by the
politicians-they have both become
noticeably devOut, and attend all the
camp meetings in their county. This
is not all; when the hat is passed
around they toss in more than the
widows mite and never fail to impress
the crowd with their good fellowship.
There is something said in the "goOd
book" about being as "wise as serpents
and as harmless as doves" Our worthy
standard bearers are certainly showing
their appreciation Of the first part Of
this quotation; whether the other part
will be applicable, remains to be seen

IN the September crop report the
corn crop in all the region south of
Pennsylvania and of the Ohio river is
in high condition in every State except
West Virginia, represented by 100 or
higher figures. In many districts of
the South the crop is reported the best
in twenty years. In the New England
States there has been a very sharp de-
cline, except in Vermont. A decline
of points in New York and New
Jersey and of four in Pennsylvania is
indicated. The loss in all these States
is due to the drought, which has been
especially severe in New England.
There has been abundant rain in all
other States. In the corn-growing
States of the Ohio valley the prospects
average very nearly as at the last re-
port. The cotton crop shows an i'm
provement with general average OF

The Democrats of New Castle County
are first in the field with their Legisla-
tive ticket, and it must be said for it,
that it is one of the best tickets that
the county has presented for years.
There is no evidence that it is set
up" ticket, machine nomination of
certain political leaders, but rather the
free choice of the Hundreds they rep
resent. 1t has not always been thus,
especially in the lower counties, and it
looks like coming back to the better
methods that ruled in the days when
the contest was between the Wings
and Democrats, when each We'd with
the other in putting representative, in
dependent men in nomination for Office.
There is something humiliating in the
fact that ticket can be formed with
men foreordained to vote this or that
way in the interest of a man or cabal
of a party. Let the two lower coun-
ties emulate the example set by New
Castle. Our best men have declined
for some years to allow the use of theil
names on the ticket, because the asso
citation brought them discredit rathei
than honor. 1t tlooks as if there was t.
be change for the better, and tina
both parties will have a regard to th'
character and personal make up o
their respective tickets.

DOVER, Sept. -, 1882.
MR.. EDITOR For several weeks
past our town has been OVerrun with
peaches, watermellOns and cantaloupcs.
/ learn, that owing to the small prices
which peaches have brought this sea-
son, several of the buyers ut the depot
have lost considerable money on them.
Some however, were sharp enough to
quit business before they lost too
much. One or two who had bought
orchards before the glut, were released
when peaches took their fall, thus
saving themselves a financial disaster
The canning factories and drying
houses have been working day and
night for about three weeks and will
thus continue until the peaches are
gone. The cry has been all along, the
scarcity of labor. In drying houses
colored persons have been employed,
and their work so far has given salts
faction.
Mrs. King, of this place, who com
mitted suicide the other day at the
Almshouse by hanging, was buried
Sunday, i'll the Episcopal cemetery.
She had on two previous occasions
when living in town with her husband
attempted suicide by drowning herself
in the mill pond, but was discovered
before she had accomplished her pur-
| pose. At times she was perfectly crazy
/ and it was when in this condition that
| she tried to make away with herself.
Miss Henrietta Robinson, who has
been suffering for the past year with n
cancer, died yesterday afternoon, about
3 o'clock.
During the thunder storm of Satur-
day afternoon, the dwelling of Mr..
Porter, on his farm near town, was
struck by lightning and somewhat
damaged. The canning factory of Mr..
Chambers near the depot was also
struck, but no damage of any conse-
quence done.
Mr. AL. Watson, who has been telc-
graph operator at the depot for several
wears, gave up his situation one day
last week. Mr. w. is an experienced
operator, and his place will be hard tO
fill.
The telegraphic communication be-
tween the Richardson House and the
depot will soon be completed and all
business in that line which will not
pertain to railroad affairs will be dis
patched from the hotel instead of the
depot as heretofore.
The two political clubs which were
organized in this town about three
weeks ago, are progressing very finely
and are largely attended. The Young
Mems Democratic Club meets on Wed
nesdav evenings over Shakespeare
cigar store, and the Republican Clut
holds forth in Burton's Hall. The
regular Democratic Club will moi
organize until after the meeting of the
County Convention, Mt which time
they will start the ball moving anC
will keep it on the so until the elec
ton.

THE public mind, after the tedious
trial and exhaustive addresses to the
jury of Col. Ingersoll and Attorney
General Brewster that commenced be-
fore the death of President Garfield
has found comfort that Il verdict has at
last been reached in the great Star-rout
case. The trial lasted through 103 days.
Although somewhat inconclusive and
unsatisfactory to those who believed
that all the defendants were guilty, the
moral effect of the conviction of two of
them will not be lost on the country.
The jury was unable to agree as to four
of the defendants, and although they
have for the present escape the legal
consequences of n verdict of guilty, it
must be borne in mind that criminal
indictments are still hanging over
them, which, il the discretion of the
prosecuting officers of the government,
may again be pressed to trial. There
is no telling what conclusions might be
reached by new jury. Two of the
defendants, says the Baltimore Sun,
concerning whose participation in the
star-route conspiracy the jury could
not agree-eX-Senator Dorsey and eX-
Assistant Postmaster-G General Brady
have held high and responsible public
positions. Their warmest friends and
supporters will not pretend that the re-
suit of the trial has been to relieve
them from the taint of suspicion and
to restore them to the confidence o
: their fellow-citizens. On the contrary
5 the testimony which was produced t.
t prove their guilty participation in th'
+ star-route frauds has left an impression
f which the indecisive action of the jur.
t will not remove. Whatever may b.
the final disposition of the indictment
: still pending against Brady, the tw
e Dorseys and Naile, the conviction
v Miner and Rerdell shows that no cor
S spiracy to rob the treasury is strOn
S enough to defy the ordinary prOcesse
n of the law when vigorously and carr
|. estly applied. There is enough in tn
Il conviction of even two out of eigt
g alleged conspiratOrs to encourage tn
is friends of honest government ever!

JAY HUBBELL who scooped in two
per cent of the salaries of the Govern
ment officers as a political assessment
has been rejected in a denomination for
candidate to Congress with more than
usual unanimity. This would indicate
that his constituents reject the me-
thods rather than the man, for it is
not claimed that he had any personal
share in their disbursements.

For downright editorial stubborn
ness, commend us to the Morning Neacs.
Not knowing how to spell candidate
for Governor Currey's name, the editor
being a new conner in the State, it
printed it without the e, and notwith-
standing the "Governor has authori-
tatively announced the proper way to
spell his name, the Ne,cs sticks to its
own photography and insists that the
Governor" is wrong, 1t is a great
thing to be smart, but the Ne,rs thinks
it a greater thing to be stubborn.

To those who COnsign Fruit
to- NIcSSrS. snow ~ Co, Of
Boston, and to all whom
it May Concern.
On last Saturday evening ! was sur
priscd and panied to learn that a rumOr
was in circulation that Snow & Co., Of
Boston had failed, as this firm has for
years been large receivers of fruit from
this section on consignment, their bust
ness increasing every year. such Il
report spread throughout the commu-
nifty as would fire through dry stub
bic. | Immediately made an effort to
ascertain the origin of the report in
Smyrna, and had no difficulty in tracing
it to Doctor William Daniel, who had
preiaccd the announcement of failure
with the remark that these COmmis-
sion men were a set of grand scOun-
drels''
Naturally, all shippers to Snow &
Co. were greatly disturbed, and my
Office was besicgcd all day Monday
/ following, by anxious inquircls, and
/ when asked where they heard it, full
ninety per cent. of them had traced it
to the door Of William Daniel.
The moment the rumOr reached the
Cashier of the Fruit Growers National
Bank, which was carly Monday morn
ing, he telegraphcd to Boston for the
standing of Snow & Co., and the Cash
ier Of the National Exchange Bank, of
that city replied "Snow q Co. are Il
wide awake, cnterprising firm, said to
be in good standing with the trade.
Later in the day the President of the
same bank wired: "Reportcd failure
in your section of Snow 4 Co.. Of this
city, is entirely without foundation.
Aitcrthis information was received, /
at the request OF Mcssrs. Snow & Co..
demanded of said Daniel full, immc
diate and unqualified rctractiOn of tn,
rumor he had set out, which he refused
to make, declining to withdraw the
. knife from the wound he had inflicted
, upon his innocent fcllow-mcn.
4 lie ever Outruns the truth, and al
of Messrs. Shows patrons could hot Il
; once be informed of the talsity of tht
report, and several changed their ship
ments elsewhere. / make this state
:. mcnt to refute lie, and to restore conf
dence to all interested persons III thi
= community.
y Messrs. Snow will invoke the majest,
: of the law for present injuries. and t
, the end that in future an evil tongu
: shall be bridled against the defamatio
e of the character of reputable busines
men.

as generally comes from the bench:
