DEMoORArIc COUNTY TICKET.
FOR SHERIFF,
PURNAL j. LYNCH.
FRANK E. SMITH.
To-morrow's Convention.

The delegate election on Saturday failed
to give any definite idea of the probable
action of the Democratic State Convention
tomorrow, in regard to the nomination of a
candidate for Governor. Had Sussex
county expressed a decided preference for
any one candidate, he would undoubtedly
be endorsed by the Convention, but until
the choice of that county is positively
known everything is at sea.
AS far as can be determined Mr.. Stockley
leads in the number OF delegates from Sus-
sex, and it may be possible that he will be
able TO draw sufficient strength from the
scattering and non-committal members to
give him majority of the delegation. In
this event he will be reasonably certain of
the nomination, as there is general dis
position among the New Castle delegates,
and also portion of those from Kent, TO
honestly respect the choice of Sussex
county and make him the nominee of the
party for Governor.
Thus, while nothingis settled, it looks very
much as though Mr.. Stocl1ley would be
nominated, and frankly speaking, the choice
would not be bad one for the party to
make. Mr.. Stockley is bold, manly and
aggressive, with personal magnetism and
force of character calculated to draw
largely from the enemy's ranks, and to
throw the supporters Of the machine Repub-
lican ticket into hopeless confusion. How
ever, there is plenty Of good material for
the Convention to select from, and the
party is sure of an excellent candidate, no
matter who may be nominated. This Con
vention 10 going to name the winning ticket
and don't forget it.

THR. ARTICLE COPIED elsewhere from the
New York San shows that the selection of
Dick Harrington for the craftsmanship of
the Republican State Central Committee is
an affair in Republican politics not calcu-
lated to create any surprise. Nevertheless,
there are many decent Republicans in this
State who cannot conceal the disgust they
feel at being obliged to go through the pres
ent contest under the leadership of a man Of
Harrington's character and reputation.

THE TERRIBLE DEsTITuTIoN that prevails
among the striking miners is inducing many
of them to return TO work at whatever wages
they can obtain. Meanwhile, the sense
less agitators who precipitated these
strikes are living of the money
contributed by their victims, and feel not
the pangs of hunger or the fearful effects OF
poverty. If the workingmen would act and
think for themselves in these matters they
would not make such disastrous mistakes so
frequently.

The GENERALLY PREVAILING sentiment
among Democrats in the upper part Of the
State to respect the choice of Sussex county
in regard to the Gubernatorial nomination
is like gall and wormwood to the Republican
organs. At the Republican State
Convention, the principle of ''County
Rights" though hotly eontended for
in the delegate election, was re-
morselessly sacrificed, and ticket
nominated solely at the dictation of a few
"Ring" managers who met in Wilmington
and arranged the convention program. N,
such practices will prevail at the Demo
cratic Convention, and the ticket chosei
will have the merit of being the homes
choice of the party's representatives, un
trammeled by machine dictation, and thi
is what worries the Republican organs s
seriously.

'THE COMMONPLACE quality of business
honesty" is what the morning organ says
the Democratic papers boast of as the chief
characteristic of their party leaders. It
speaks in strictly partisan vein, for no one
will be fool-hardy enough to assert that
business honesty, or honesty of any sort is
even rare virtue, much less a ''common-
"place quality among the leaders of the
party supported by the morning organ.
The daily gazette., 1882-08-21

THE MORNING ORGAN makes the frank
admission that Senator Eli Salisbury was
never "accused of "cracking" bank, OF
taking bribe, of robbing widows or
" orphans" etc. Now this is really too
mean for anything. 1t is bad enough for
the Democratic papers to be constantly re-
ferring to chairman Harrington's little
peccadillos in the past, without the morning
organ taking hand and by sly inuendc
calling attention to the "safe cracking" pro
pensities in which the honorable Richard
has been freely charged with indulging
But the morning organ and chairman Har
rington never did like each other, and the
former can but lily conceal the disgust II
entertains at being obliged to train undel
Harrington's leadership during the present
campaign. ''Let the band play"

NOTHING MORE beautifully illustrates the
grand Republican principle of civil
service reform than the action of Green B
Raum, who, while religiously drawing his
salary as Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
is engaged in campaigning for the Republi.
can ticket in the State of Maine. After.
wards he will go to Illinois and enter
upon campaign for seat in the United
States Senate from that State, the duties OF
his official position, meanwhile, being at
tended to by somebody else. But his salary
goes on, all the same. Somehow or other
this is an important point these fellows

FROM THE conflicting nature of the dis
patches from Egypt it is hard to know what
to credit and what to believe. News of
bombardments by the British fleet or of
victorious skirmishes by the British troops
must be received with liberal grain OF
allowance, but when we hear of Arab
Pasha scooping in a regiment or so OF
bold Britons by skillful ambush it
will be safe to wager that the report is not
only correct so far as it goes, but that half
the truth has not been told, and that it will
be like drawing teeth to get the full partt-
ulars until Arabi's official bulletin is wired
across the cable. That's about the way the
Egyptian war news runs.

The PHILADELPHIA Times is evidently
learning something. A few weeks ago
It conceived that the people of Della
ware were going to defeat Curry,
the Stalwart Republican candidate
for Governor, and elect Washington
Hastings, the Half7breed candidate for Con-
gress. Now it believes that the entire ma
chine tielset VIM BE defeated, which
opinion Ia ceftainly more sensible than
its first imprsssionl Nothing would
please the >sfalRarts better than 70 elect
Curry and defeat Hastings, but as the latter't
friends will also take a hand in the cut
throat game, the result can b'
easily foretold. Even If the
party was thoroughly united 1t could no
beat the Democratic nominees, and as affair
are going the RepubIicandefeats seems likel.
to degenerate into total rout. ,i ,7g

A Bit of Swagger.

Talking about swagger, too much of
this commodity has lately brought to
grief certain member of a well-known
good third-rate London club. This
gentleman, is not only a confirmed "tuft
hunter" but one who, so far from even
admitting that any member of the Cup
per Ten" could by any accident be I'M
known to him, is always ready to boast
of close and intimate friendship with
every one who happens to have either
rank or position. His failing is notori-
GUS and three humorists determined to
give him lesson. Accordingly, in the

Mr.. c., casually said, "Are you going

r> A Costly Job.

In a town not thousand miles from
IpsXich- tina ozging- txus- story is told
of the experience of prominent citizen:
came loose and broke a pane of glass.
In the morning the owner found his way
to glazier and asked what it would
cost to set the glass. and was told 81. 25
for glass, putty and setting, or seventy
five cents for glass and putty. He took
the glass and putty, saying that he could
not earn fifty cents more easily than by
setting it himself. He went home, and
putting the glass against the house IN
der the window he was to repair, pro-
ceeded to remove the old putty. For
getting the glass, and putting his foot
near the building to brace himself up,
he hit and broke the glass. He pro-
cured another, carried it into the house
and put it behind chair against the
wall, where it would be safe until he
wanted it to use. Again he went out
side to complete the necessary prepare
tions. His wife, seeing the glass and
remembering how the other light was
broken, thought it in a very dangerous
place and removed it, placing it in a
chair. While this was going on the
head of the house was busy about his
job, and in his endeavor to dig out the
hard putty the chisel slipped and went
through another light. He then went
into the house to tell his wife and get
her sympathy and advice abont finish
ing the job. In doing SO he sat down
in the chair in which the glass had been
placed, and one can imagine his surprise
and feeling when he realized that the
fourth pane of glass was ruined. His
wife thought he was not success in
setting glass Gust like woman) and
advised him to go and get man to do
the job, and it was finished for &c. 40,
making the whole cost of the job $500
that the glazier would have done for

A Horse Incident.

People who only occasionally visit
horse races are too often disposed to
think that this kind of sport is very hard
on the animals. Turf men are well
aware of the fact that genuine race
horse enters into the spirit of the race
as much as do men and often get even
more excited. During the late racing
at the Driving Park in Salt Lake City,
says a local paper, it often required
many minutes and numerous attempts
to get the animals evenly under way.
In trying to score the animals were SO
eager to be in front that their riders OF
drivers had but little control over them,
and often became impatient before they
could get their animals to score evenly.
A singular incident happened at the
track the other morning, which illus
trates somewhat the feelings of these
noble animals. Ben Anderson had been
turned out to Craze and was quietly
feeding by the half-mlle tack near the
grand stand, when he noticed the Duke
of Monday being exercised on the mile
track. Ben started on a gallop for the
mile track, fell in behind the Duke and
trailed him around the track most of the
mile, then shot ahead, and in spite OF
Duke and his rider, passed the wire far
in front. Those who saw it say the race
was a pretty one, in which Anderson
played his game of trailing, thus saving
his strength, and then came out on the
home stretch just as his riders have al
ways trained him whila-shA-baho vi
Monday did his best to gain the race.
But the best part came after the wire
had been passed. Ben Anderson ran
far enough to gain an easy stop, then
turned about and galloped back to the
wire and stopped, as is usual, for the
driver to get off and be weighed then
he looked around as if waiting the de-
cision of the judges. We are inclined
to think that Ben Anderson and many
other fast horses get as much amuse-
ment, and often more, out of race
than their owners.

England In Egypt.

It was said OF a certain English
soldier who was court-martialled for
misconduct at the battle of Minden that
If lha had sheovvra Bhe battlefield only
half the readiness and spirit he showed
at his trial there would have been no
occasion for that ceremony. In a
similar vein it may be now said of the
British Ministry that if, eight or nine
months ago, they had spoken to Arab
Bey in the peremptory tone they now
use to the Sultan and to all other parties
concerned the trouble in Egypt would
have stopped with the little intrigue
around the Circassian officers, Alex
adria would not be in ruins and all
Europe would not be at the point of
standing to its arms. It is now sub
stantially declared that England will re-
construct Egypt under British pro-
lection, though others are resolved to
stand still; but that if others care to
help their assistance will be welcomed.
Such course acted upon would always
pacify Ottoman troubles, because these
are kept embroiled by the knowledge of
the difficulties in the way of agreement
between the Powers. England's deter
mination is already felt in the East
perhaps, since it is now reported that
the Porte is disposed to send troops to
Egypt and Arab is disposed to make
terms. Arab probably perceives that
the limit of success for him in warlike
direction is about reached when there
is fair chance for an early fight; and
as the lions skin falls short he hopes
that the fox's may serve him in a
.cunningly man@uvred surrender. If he
were dealing with Constantinopie this
would be safe reasoning; but London
will hardly meet his demand.
