Strong TlOkeT.

"A Strong Ticket.
The Republicans on Saturday choose
the men who are to represent their par
ty on the ticket at the little election III
October and the State election In NJ
vember. The make up OF the ticket Is
excellent, and cannot fail to oring
strength to the party that nominated
If. There is not Republican but can
Icheerfully and confidently ask COM
parison of the ticket with the Demo-
cratic ticket with the odds in favor OF
1.-The Republicans. 1t is evident from
the vote cast that in the respective
Ihrndreds. reat number OF Re-
publicans were interested and took more
part in the election than usual upon
such occasions, and the men nominated
may be set down as the deliberate
choice of the Republicans.
The Brandy wine hundred Republi-
cans have chosen Robert j. Handy to
represent them ia the Legislature by
such a majority as to leave no doubt OF
the honest desire of the party to have
Mr.. Handy to represent them. He Is
able fearless and independent but
always Republican. While in Phil
adelphia he was a leading member OF
the lower branch of the City Council.
At home in his,Dative State he will be a
leading member of the Legislature and
one that can advocate his principles in
words as well as actions.
1t is no discredit to Mr.. Harrington
to be beaten by VIM. Candy one Of the
most level headed and Dest business
men of the city of Wilmington. Mr..
Bates is more than matched by MI
Candy.
There is no more faithful and fear
less Republican than ex-Sheriff r.
Lewis Armstrong, of Christiana hun.
dred, and in ability he is more than a
match for his competitor who wanted
to be Sheriff but was placated with a
nomination for tho Legislature on the
democratic ticket. Mr.. Armstrong
will poll more than his party vote in
Christiana.
Mill Creek Hundred always does well.
DR.. Chandler is the best man the Demo
Gratis could have nominated for the
Senate from that Hundred, but mis- su'
perior ability will be no advantage to
him with such a Republican competitor
as Solomon Minot Curtis who is equal
in most respects and superior In others.
James NJ. Wise, of New Castle is 8
fit colleague for Mr.. Curtis for the Sen
ate, and will add credit and strength tc
the ticket.
Red Lion Hundred meant not to bt
behind in adding strength to the ticket
by nominating Theodore F. Clark, as
the Representative to the Legislature
Mr.. CLARK is a successful farmer, en-
dowed with superior ability and
made creditable record while in the
Legislature in 1873.
Nobody doubts the ability of Johr
Pilling, re-nominated by the Republi
cans of White Clay Creek Hundred
He needs no eulogy from the press TO
3 his actions are indelibly stamped upol
8 the legislation of the State. 1t il
l needless to say that the nomination o
Mr.. Pilling will add strength to thu
ticket.
Alfred G. Cox Of MiddletoWn, is th'
Republican candidate for Representa-
) tive from St. Georges Hundred. He il
of the fl rm of j. NJ. Cox & Bro, c1aCf
builders, is leading member of thu
M. Z. church, firm Republican o.
undoubted honesty and with ability
above the average representative.
j. Moody Rothwell, the candidate
nominated from Appoquinimink, is
) successful farmer of superior ability
and Mt successor to George L. Town
send whom he defeated and succeeds.
This comprises the Legislative ticket
Republicans look at it, work for 1t
and elect it.
