William A. Wheeler and Collector Rob-
ertsOn Said to be in Favor of the Secre-
tary.
NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The Commercial
Advertiser, edited by Hugh Hastings, a Stall
wart Of the Stalwarts, prints an interview
with ex-Vice President William A. Wheeler
to-day, in which Wheeler says that the only
hope for the Republican party in the State
this fall is to nominate the best man, and
the only man who can win is Secretary
Folger. He added that his own county,
Franklin, would send delegation to the
convention favorable to Folger. 1t is also
said in political circles tonight that Col
lector Robertson has come out for Folger
Robertson has been looked upon as the
Half lf-Breed leader of the State, but at the
meeting of the State committee some few
weeks ago he gave symptoms of going over
to the Stalwarts. If these two men
are really in favor of Folger it is about the
same as insures his nomination. Nearly
one-half of the delegates to the convention
have been selected, and since New York
and Brooklyn, which remain to be heard
from, are so strongly Stalwart, it appears
that there will be not far from 100 out of
the 450 delegates who will vote for Cornell,
100 for Wadsworth and the rest for Folger
Folger's nomination would, of course cause
a vacancy in the Treasury Department and
the gossips of the clubs are busy tonight
speculating as to whether that successor will
be Conkling. The Democrats, too, are in
high glee tonight over reports that harmony
will be secured in their party by the admis-
sion of Tammany to the State convention.
Kelly's speech last evening virtually gave
notice to that effect and it is said that the
programme is to try to unite the party.
Flower and Hewitt are the two chief candi-
dates mentioned thfs evening

DELEGATES FOR ROBINSON.
Charges that the Congressman's Friend
Have Used Money at the Primaries.

Have Used Money at the Primaries.
It was disclosed yesterday that the town
ships of Glassboro, East Greenwich and
Washington, Gloucester county, N, j.,
elected Robson delegates at the primaries
on Thursday. The Nixon men conceded
two of the townships to the ex-Secretary,
but contend that they were in q majority In
the other one and that the Robeson men
triumphed by the free use of rum and
money. They allege also that the officers Of
the election, who were favorable to the
present Congressman, made each voter take
what they call a sacrilegious" oath and
by this means drove a good many of the
Nixon voters from the polls.
Mr.. Robson now leads his opponent eight
townships If the township of Commercial,
where the election is disputed, is Included.
Thirty-four votes, under the unit rule
governing the convention in the First
district, is the number required TO nominate.
OF these Robson has now nineteen, and his
managers claim that he will come to Cam
den with not less than thirty. This would
leave them with but four wards or town
ships to carry in Camden county, and they
assert their ability to carry three-fourths of
the wards and townships in the county.
The primaries in Cape May city were to have
been held last evening. An independent
delegation is looked for from that place. The
Robson people are very jubilant over the
situation, while the Nixon men are cores
pondingly depressed.

The Call for q State Convention at New
Castle Next Saturday.
The Greenbackers are at it again. The
following call has been issued for State
convention, the date of which was fixed
some time ago:
A State convention of the above named
party is hereby called to meet at the old
Court House, IN New Castle, Saturday, Sep
tember 10Th, 1882, at 2 O'Clock, p. M, to
make nominations for State ticket, and to
transact such other business as seems best
to advance the interests of the new party in
Delaware.
1t is hoped that all who love truth, and
the cause of human progress, who desire to
see labor made honorable, and who are de-
termined its interests shall be recognized,
and as fully protected as are those Of capt
tai by thorough organization and equal
representation In Congress and in our State
Legislature, will feel themselves called upon
to aid by their presence and co-opera-
tiOn in making this convention a success in
point of earnestness and honesty of pur-
pose, thus inaugurating an independent
political movement which advocates the
severance of all political alliances with
either of the old parties, recognizing the
fact that the rights of the producer, and of
all who are dependent ubon their labor for
support, can never be secured except through
effectual, united effort in their own behalf.
We have no reason to complain of exist
ing conditions which oppress US, If we lack
the independence, courage and zeal TO pro-
tect both the strength and spirit Of true
manhood against the usurpations of capital
and the dangerous power of monopolies
continually waxing stronger, which threatens
the liberty af the people.
Good speakers from abroad are expected,
and ratification meeting after the eonyen-
tion is anticipated.
Per order of the State Central Committee.

shooting Birds ON sunday.

Considerable complaint has already been
made, by residents along the river front, OF
gunners shooting birds on Sunday. One
gentleman living near Bellvue was in VIII
mington this morning consulting as to what
was the best plan to adopt to rid himself OF
the nuisance. He says he lives about three
quarters of mile from the marsh, but on
last Sunday the continual popping annoyed
him very much. The shooting is done by
the parties who occupy the club houses
along the river at Holly Oak, most of them
being residents of Philadelphia, who come
down for days sport. Shooting on sun
day is in direct violation of the laws OF the
State, and those SO offending are to be
watched closely and If possible arrested.

OF grinding bones and said that when the
mass of refuse matter in the pit had been
acidulated there would be no more smell
He was adjudged guilty, but with the sane
tion OF Mr.: Feaster, the principal sufferer,
Der 22d, by which time Groves promised to
have the whole establishment removed.

How Far He is Outi

It has always been supposed that railroads
and telegraphs were for the purpose of sery-
ing the needs of the public, but since Isaac
N. Mills, ESQ.,, migrated to the bailiwick of
the Dover junta, they seem to be used as an
adjunct for the boss machine. On Thurs
day last we are credibly informed that Boss
Mills, who seems to be Republican main
stay, ordered the operator to suspend all
legitimate business to attend to political
matters. The operator believing he was the
servant of the people and not the tool of
this autocratic boss, declined to perform
Ike's political dirty work and left his
position. Notwithstanding all this, "i1
obedience to the aOisheS Of the corporation
Which he serves, Mr.. Mills Is ont Of politics. j"
