THE REPUBLICAN VOTING strength in
Wilmington, as evidenced in the primary
elections, is rapidly dwindling. At the
Mayoraltynomination 4 ,O39 votes were polled,
but at the Sheriffalty nomination, on Satur-
day afternoon, the total vote fell to 3,752.
1t is doubtful if they can muster a round
5000 by the day of the city election.

The REPUBLICAN NOMINATION for Sheriff
and Coroner came off on Saturday afternoon
and resulted in the choice of James Martin
of this city-who had clear majority over
all his opponents-for Sheriff, and David H.
Wingate also of this city, for Coroner. In
this grab for spoils the country representa-
tives were left completely out in the cold.
The ticket is not particularly strong one
Mr.. Martin is clever old gentleman, but
he possesses no special elements of popu
larity. He was candidate for this position
in 1874, but ran behind his ticket and wa
defeated by William H. Lambson, who haC
a good majority. He will be easily beateI
this time by good Democratic competitor

"Did he acknowledge the corn ?"

"Not much. He's only toddy

That's small potatoes, and if was

1t is estimated that two-thirds of the
slang now in use originated with Eng
lish tramps and thieves and English
writers.
Among the thieves there is. a dis
tinct class Of slang which is n'quite
common use. They denominate u SEN
tence or Imprisonment as "air and ex-
ercise," and call drink a "bail." A
penitentiary is known as a boarding
house." and u surgeon is termed a
"bonc setter" Money is known among
them as "chink," and Il policeman as
a "cop." "Darbies" are handouts,
"earth bath" is grave, and eternity
box" is the proper name for coffin.
Hemp is denominated "neck weed," a
slung shot is called needy" while
the head is known as the "dimple."
When man dies he is said to have
clicked the bucket" and when he is
buried he is said to have been put
to bed with q shovel"
BY means of this slang the thieves
of the various countries can talk to
each other understandingly, although
ignorant of the language of the coun-
try in which they happen to bc.-New
