tain their standing in the party as Re-
publicans. Every Republican voter
should exercise the privilege of going
to the primary election and voting his
sentiments-not the sentiments OF
another. Let them make their own in
telligent choice. The defamers Of the
party We predict will find themselves
mistaken in their predictions after the
State Convention is over. They will
find that choice has been made Of y
man who will be Governor of Delaware
and that in the contest they will be
crushed out of existence. The same
bad feeling and disruption was predict
ed when the nomination for Q Mayor of
Wilmington was made, but put of the
number of candidates for the Office, one
was chosen upon whom the whole par
ty rallied and as q consequence that
gentleman is now the Mayor of VIII
mington. The divisions and dissen-
Sions In the party at that time did not
exist and the discussions set forth at
this time do not exist. Either Mr..
Fooks or Mr.. Curry will be Governor
Of Delaware as DIR. Wales is now Mayor
Of Wilmington. Let the Bourbon Or

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that
Wilmington now has a model one cent
Democratic paper, the circulation of
the REPUBLICAN has not diminished,
though an effort has been made to make
it appear that it has decreased. We
still make the same offer that we have
always made and which no other paper
In this city dare make: We still pub
lish an average edition of 5000. Some
times it runs over that number and
sometimes slightly under. We accom-
pany this with request for the bust
ness men of this city to come to our
Office, watch the bundles of paper wet
down; watch them come from the press;
watch them as they are given to the
carriers and mailed to subscribers, and
to see in general for themselves that
what we say Is true. While we ask
business men to make the investiga-
ton, we do not object to editors and re-.
porters doing the same thing. We only
want the public to know that our circu-
lation still reaches its average 5000, and
we are prepared to prove it. We posi-
lively assert that no other editors in the
city will extend similar invitation to
the public.

There has been an utter failure on
the part of the Democratic papers to
make out q disruption in the Republi.
can ranks which they say Is to be ef-
feCted at the delegate election next Sat.
urday. There has not been a time in
the last ten years when there has been
rs much harmony in the Republican
party al there is now. There is, it is
true, two prominent candidates before
the party for nomination for Governor,
both candidates being gentlemen of ex-
allied character and acknowledged abil.
ity, and both residents OF Sussex coun.
ty. Either Mr.. Fooks or Mr.. Curry
would make an admirable Governor
far superior to any that Delaware has
had for many a year. Between two
such candidates, 1t need not be though
a strange thing that q healthy rivalry
would spring up. In all probability
there will be rival delegate tickets a

can voters have the right to make ;

Confidence RetraHers.

1t is hard to conceive of q more base
and deSpicable creature on earth than
the man who will wilfully betray the
confidence reposed in him by another.
An outright liar and slanderer are to
be abhored and Stunned as unfit for
human association, but the grade Of
their offending is palliated by the lower
grade to which q false man descends
when he becomes q retailer of what
YVES impaired to him in confidence.
The man who makes up his mind to
sacrifice his character and standing by
abusing the confidence of friend even
should friendly relations be severed,
will not care whether be tells the truth
or not. To man so low sunk in char
acter falsehood imparts an additional
means of wounding and striking down
former friend. The only help for an
unfortunate person who is made the
target Of the spite and malevolence of
the slanderer and base man VINO betrays
friendship for base purposes, is in the
ovprheated zeal with which SANDER Is
entailed. 1t generally overleaps itself
and its own ponderous weight burieS it
beneath the waves of oblivion and dis
grace. We might as we'll say in plain
terms that the man who wilfully be.
trays another for the purpose Of accom-
pllshing base purpose will embelliSh
his story with lies. So infamous does
such character become that common
falsiAer and the libertine will pass
around him with contempt.
Confidence with gentlemen is sacred |
trust, with knaves it is of no account.
With gentlemen it requires not the in |
junction of secrecy to protect one
against the other. The instincts Of an
honest mind requires no warning and
will act as q sure protection no matter
what may afterwards take place. One
of the great evils Of the times Is over
confidence, and yet what would the
moral ana business world be without
that intrinsic virtue? The abuse of it
makes it only still more sacred, while
it points out those who are unworthy
oft.

CLERK of the Market Hickey has be-
come an object OF special attention
from the short measure and short
weight hucksters in market. He in.
tends to get legal measures and drive
the shorts either into honest dealing or
cut of the market. On Wednesday he
drew his knife through several pounds
of butter offered for sale by a young
lady, and he is on the scent of others
who he believes are habitual violators

If any of the machine organs thought
that Mayor Cleveland did not know how
to write a letter of acceptance, they
missed it widely. His letter is barren of
excuses and rhetorical tropes, but is
crammed full of solid sense. He goes
to the meat-Of the questions which the
canvass involves, and talks to the people
in a plain, blunt way. He points
out abuses and their remedies, and avows
his belief that profound craftsmanship
and political shrewdness are not so much
needed in conducting the affairs Of a
great commonwealth as a reliance on
common honesty and common sense.
Future aspirsnts for popular favor would
do well to paste Mr.. Cleveland's letter in
their hats.
