The DEMOCRATS of Wilmington

tinguished leaders withered branch
in uncongenial soil. An evening or
two before the Mayors election, the
distinguished States Attorney General
George Gray, made speech which re-
ceived the plaudits of his hearers. In
that speech he told the assembled De.
mocracy that he, transplanted from the
fertile Democratic soil of New Castle,
found no trouble in assimilating him.
self with the Democracy of the city of
WILMINGTON, Democratic soil like that
he had left. We are apprehensive that
this vigorous plant of New Castle De-
mocracy will wither and die if it has
no stronger Democratic soil to nourish
and invigorate it than that found in
Wilmington. How about it, Mr.. Gray /?

you can pay your County taxes now
by calling upon collectors Kyne and
Bedford, at 60219 Market street, second
story. Pay them now because they
will be eaiser paid than in the fall just
a few days before the election. Pay
them now because you owe them and
the county needs the money. Pay
them now because you cannot vote at
either the October or November elec-
tions without a receipt. Pay them
now and make sure of your vote for the

have a share in the redemption of the

Mclaughlin, Moore, Boulden and Wild
does. OF these six only one was an
Irishman and Catholic. How did
Mr.. Mclaughlin run? Let the figures
tell. In Wilmington where two-thirds
of the Democratic party are 1rishmen
and Catholics Mr.. Mclaughlin ran
very we'll, being next to Mr.. BARLEY
the highest, the vote standing BARLEY
1863, Mclaughlin 799. In North Chris
tiana Hundred, where there is settle
ment of Catholics, Mclaughlin re.
ceived 40 votes. and in New Castle
where there are o number of Catho-
lies he received 65 votes more. How
many votes did he receive in the other
part of the county outside of Whining
ton Chrjstiana and New Castle? Let
the returns tell. He received two in
Brandywine Hundred, none in South
Christiana, one in Mill Creek, four in
East White Clay Creek, West White
Clay Creek none, Pencader none, East
lied lion none, West Red Lion none, East
St. Georges none, West St. Georges
none, Appoquinimink none, and in
Blackbird four. Tuere is the record.
There is no rubbing that out. In thir-
teen election districts in the county he
polled only eleven votes. Had there
been others of the same nationality
and faith running for the same office
and the vote had been divided between
them, the animosity of the country
Democracy especially would not have
been exhibited in such glaring man
ner What makes it look 80 much
worse for the Democrats is that Nc.
Laughlin was a soldier in the Union
army, his crippled condition attesting
his bravery and devotion to his coun-
try, and in acknowledgment of his
loyalty and bravery he wears the
badge of the Grand Army of the Re.
public. This is not the style of men
that the Democracy of New Castle
county usually honor, especially if he
springs from the humber ranks of life
and asks for recognition at their hands.
Their favors flow in quite An opposite
direction. The very opposite OF what
Mr.. Mclaughlin has been and is, is
seized with avidity by tho Democracy
and the poor Irishman and the Catho-
lie, the cripple and the soldier, is retired
from all claim from the hands of an
Democracy. They had an
to reward a faithful, loyal
x.soldiel, but they have in the over
gushing of their hearts showered their
favors upon one who offered himself
for the first time for an office, one whose
whole active sympathy was with the
Southern Confederacy and whose desire
was to destroy the Nation. This is the
Democracy's choice. If they can stand
it Republicans can.
