DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.
FOR SHERIFF,
PURNAL j. LYNCH.
A Good Example.

Tuesday evening, took prompt action; ard
set an example their political brethren
throughSaS the State would do well to
follow Immediately. They held lively
meeting, heartily endorsed the Democratic
State nominees, appointed an Executive
Committee for the hundred, and, more i'm
portant than all, selected good committees
to make a careful and efficient can
vass of all their school districts. The
meeting was largely attended and there
was degree of interest evinced that showed
the Mill Creek hundred Democrats to be
fully alive to the Importance of the present
campaign.
The example of the Mill Creek Democ-
racy should be promptly followed all over
the State, and especially should care be
taken to secure thorough and reliable can
Vass of voters by school districts.
The present campaign will be no child's |
play, and it will be necessary for every |
Democrat who earnestly desires the success |
of his party to work for this end. 1t will be
no idle campaign Oh the part of the Repub-
licans, for although Harrington, Fisher and
the other party leaders are distrusted by the
people, they will use the most desperate
means to carry the State and thus obtain
for themselves the political power they have
so long desired. If these people will work
SO hard and do SO much for the
sake of securing party triumph that would
prove to them personal vi ctury, surely
every man who feels a sincere interest in our
State government, and does not wish to see
1t fall into the hands of men whose very
names are reproach and whose characters
are stained with profigacy and corruption,
should exert himself to defeat the ticket
that Harrington and Fisher selected as the
vehicle on which they propose to ride into
political power in Delaware.
We hope, therefore, that Democrats
throughout the State, will reflect upon the
good work of their Mill Creek brethren,
and Ego and do likewise,e without delay.
GRADUALLY the Republican journals are
recovering from the CONSERVATION into
which the gigantic proportions of the river
and harbor job threw them temporarily and
are now engaged In defending it with the
same impudent assurance they assumed in
supporting every disreputable piece of lob
berry that emanated from Congress during
the past twelve years. 1t was too big for
them to tackle at once, but they are daily
becoming boder, and will soon be able to
declare that it was the wisest measure ever
considered by Congress, and will confer in
calcuiabe blessings upon the people.

SECRETARY FoLGER is now fairly in the
field as the Administration candidate for
the Republican Gubernatorial nomination In
New York, and even if he should not prove
successful he will probably effect Cornell's
defeat. President Arthur will look after
Foiger's interests, as the music of another
term In the Presidency is humming in his
ears and the full political control of New
YORK would give him healthy boost in this
direction.
VALUED New York subscriber, who

eerning the Democratic nominees stYou
have certainly very excellent ticket, and
quite different, in respect to personal
popularity, from the candidates of the
Republican party. have personal ac-
quaintance with the Democratic candidates

Curry, the Republican candidate, who is
not popular in his own hundred"
THERE ARE plenty of other streets that
need the attention of City Council worse than
Union street, but we presume the morning
organ is but obeying the orders of one of its
masters in advocating the speedy opening OF
the latter thoroughfare. Public interests,
however, and not the benefit of private in.
dividuals, should be the consideration in
work of this character.

THERE IS AN awful mystery surrounding
the loss of the yacht Fleetwing, of New
York, of the Jersey coast, during Sunday
storm. Portions of the wreck have beer
picked up ashore, but nothing has beer
heard of the ten people who were aboard tn,
boat when 1t sailed from New York.
