THE BOY PEDnLER OF READING.
A Lad Who Had Full Suit for Every Day

man is exceedingly kind, aflahle and

large quantities Of goods at very fair

SINCE the war between France and
Germany ended, the growth Of the two
countries in.population has been curious
in It's contrasts. Germany has increased
by 100000 sonls, while France by only
$4,000. In 1867 the excess of births
over deaths in France was 1i0600 In
1873 it was only 9S175. Germany on
the other hand shows an exec for 1869
of 42s 600, and for 1878 of 556, SOC. With
these figures as a starting point, it is es-
mattel that at the end Of the century,
provided emigration and immigration
do not interfere with conditions as they

THE NBw YORK Democratic State Com
mittee met at Saratoga, yesterday, and ap-
pointed Syracuse as the place and September
2lst as the time for holding the State Con
vention. This az ton, for some unexplained
reason, is taken by the New York Star,
John Kelly's organ, as the pretext
for arraying Tammany against the regular
Democracy in the coming campaign. How
ever, 1t would have made very little differ
ence what action the committee had taken
as Kelly's services would have been at the
command of Cornell and the
Republican machine in any event.
1t is an easy matter for the man
who defeated the New York Democracy in
1879 and sold out Hancock in 1880 to renew
his disreputable bargain with the Republican
managers in 1882. But 1t is doubtful
If Kelly can deliver the goods any longer

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.
Inereassd RoprosentatiOn.

The issue raised by the Republican party
organs In relation to increased representa-
ton for New Castle county in the State
Legislature Is mere hollow pretense, on a
par with the other insincere professions OF
their State platform. In 1875, when the
best and surest means of securing
increased representation for this county
by county division-was urged upon the
Legislature, it was bitterly opposed by the
Republican organ and party managers of
this city, who used every exertion to defeat
the measure. Their pretext for this opposi-
ton was that county division did not
satisfy the ''principle" of increased repre-
sentation, Notwithstanding it would have
practically accomplished the desired result
and given Wilmington city largely in
creased representation at once, without the
delay and uncertainty of a Constitutional
Convention, Conventions of this kind
are very uncertain In their results. The
work of the last Constitutional Convention
in this State, although earnestly approved
by the GAZETTE and by the great majority
of the Democratic voters, was defeated
mainly because It did grant increased repre-
sentation and provided for the cleo
ton OF county officials directly by
the people. Another Constitutional
Convention might be held with equal ly
fruitless results, for we are slow to believe
that the Republican voters of this Stat
would cast their votes in favor Of the in
creased representation If the issue wer
placed directly before them.
We still believe that division Of NeN
Castle county by making one county ont G
Wilmington city is the best and mos
practical means of securing increased repr'
sentation, but we doubt very much the RI
publican organs and leaders would suppo
such a measure.
If anything further were needed to pro'
the thorough insincerity of the Republics
party on this question, 1t is found in the
candidate for Governor, Albert Curry.
