A GREENBACKER SPEAKS.

And Though the Democratic Candidates
do Not Represent Greenback Sentiments
He Thinks the Greenbackers had Better
Vote for Them.
To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE Hay
ing been connected with the Greenback
organization in this city, as Secretary, for
several years, and as said party has no can
didate for Governor or member of Congress,
and Charles G. Stockley is man of the
people; and as Chas. B. Lore's previous
record has proved him to be as well
acquainted with the people and their wants
and necessities as any man, and one
who from residence, nativity, and direct
interest in the welfare of his State, would
be a true representative of the whole people
and not of a faction, l therefore ask the
cooperation of all who were connected with
the Greenback party to give cordial sup
port to the candidates above named-Aot
from any sympathy we have ever had from
them-but believing that between two evils
tits best for us to choose the least The
nominations made by the Democratic party
we believe will conduce to the best interests
of the people.

TWO sHAKPERs,
Man and q Woman Play a shreI
Game With Bogus RIn0a.

About IL O'Clock yesterday mornin( a
Well-dressed, fair-faced and neat-looing
man, evidently an English Jew enteredJhe
JeWeiry store of Baynard & Dawson am ex-
pressed desire to purchase a plainRold
ring. He appeared very hard to sui and
the attention of Edgar Chandler, thesales-
man, was thus directed to the fellowwhom
ne detected palming ring with thevident
ihtehtlon OF stealing 1t. Handler
gave the suspicious customer a mt that
could not be misunderstood, wheDhe ring
was laid down, and all dispIaye{at at once
put away In the trays. The maj left and
Ghandler, who saw him eyer G. f.
Rudolph's establishment, inf(med Mr..
lawson, and that gentleman farned Mr..
rnnndoiph to be on his guard When the
Fellow saw Mr.. Dawson he fVhed up and
Immediately started up the steet.
lie afterward visited the stFe of Preston
Ayres, where that gentlemaIs son exhibited
by request number of pNn gold rings
The would-be customer WIS also hard to
satisfy, and left.
Shortly afterward Mr.. )Ayres missed a
ring valued at about 81, in the place of
which a bogus one yOrth about S1.50,
had been substituted. 9me time afterward
the man was arrested by Chief Hawkins,
taken to the Hall, lOted up and searched,
but nothing but fw cents found upon
him: In the eveningihe gave his name to
the Mayor, as Jacob Zarons of Philadelphia.
:, He was representa- by Harry Sharpley,
ESQ.,, and after thf facts of the case had
been set forth the Prisoner wished the case
postponed until this evening to allow wit
1esses as to his character to be summoned.
The request was granted. The same fellow
.ried his game atB. F. Clark's, but without
success.
About 11.30 yesterday morning, woman
poorly dressed, dark complexion, and
without doubt a Jewess, entered the
tore of Edward II. Hanf, on Fourth street,
md after pricing some plain gold rings left
dissatisfied, Mr. Hanf soon alter missed
pain ring and found in its stead
cry cheap bogus one.
No trace of the woman has been found,
nd it i evident that she and the man
Larons travel together and work different
OWNS for all they are worth.

THE MATCH sLANDER.
A baltimore View of the Complete Refu-
tatiOn of the Morning Organs Libel.


| baltimore Day.l
We reprint elsewhere from the Delaware
GAZETTE card from the Diamond Match
Company, offering simple and straightfor-
ward refutatioh of the widely circulated in.
| slnuation that the opposition of Senator
Bayard of Delaware to singling out matches,
along with patent medicines, perfu.nery and
other things, for exemption from taxation,
while no effort was made TO relieve the really
oppressive features of the internal revenue
laws, is due to pecuniary interest on his part
in the company either as stakeholder or as
counsel. We think it emnentiy proper that
the Diamond Match Company should make
this denial, though we doubt il many people
whose opinion is worth considering have ever
paid the slightest attention to the silly and
malicious suggestion which called forth the
correspondence. Senator Bayard himself,
would doubtless, of his own notion never
have noticed it, and would have been under
no obligation to do so, since his character is
sufficient answer to any libels imputing to
him private or personal motives for public
acts and this is recognized as fully by his
political opponents as by his felloW-Demo-
Gratis. The New York Times, the leading
Republican paper of the United States, in
recently commenting upon an attempt by
Mr.. Conkling to stand on his dignity and
meet charges of attempted bribery by silent
contempt, says that he is not the sort of
public man to attempt such a defense and
it adds:
He is famous after a fashion, but his fame is
not such as would prompt his countrymen to
say, as Of course, that he has had such high
aims and such broad interests, and has been so
engrossed I'm the really important business of
public life, that it is impossible that he should
have gone into such schemes as are now charged
against him. Examples are worth more than
concentrations, MIR, Edmunds or Mr. Raynrd
could well afford to ignore such accusations;
Mr.. C0nkling cannot.
This is the simple truth, and is applicable
in the present instance, and we can of our
own knowledge say that where the Diamond
Match Company and its officers are thor
oughly known no one would suspect them
of offering bribe directly or indirectly, any
more than he would suspect Bayard or am
Edmunds of accepting one.

A STORE ROBBED.
Ahieves Who Evidently Knew the Promises
and Took But Little OF Value.


When A. Il. DeNormandie of No We
Ninth street, entered his store this mornint
ato O'Clock, the work of thieves was N
once discernible. Mr. DeNormandie live,
over his store room which connects with tho
dwelling portion of the building bv twC
doors, one leading into an entry and thence
10 the second story, the other opening into
sewing or sitting room directly back oI
anu running ut right angles with the store.
AS the proprietor entered from the entry
uoor ne found the heavy door into the sit
lug room standing open, the iron bolt on
tiie moor bent and twisted and marks of a
Jimmy both on the door and the lam. A
oack window sash was raised showing how
ah entrance had been effected and escape
lnaue. Two windows open on a very narrow
aliey III the rear of the building, connecting
with n side alley, and are not provided with
shutters. So much for the mode of en-
trance. N-
Ihe gentleman at once made hurried
examination and found the drawers of his
WORK table, which had been pried open,
standing upon the floor back of the counter
ana below the bulk window, as If the ran
sacking had been done so as to prevent
passers by seeing into the store, which was
uilhly lighted by small gas jet
a gold watch, silver watch and one of
common make, neck chaiL, two certificates
OF stock worth about $3.50, besides few
minor articles were taken. The gold watch
belonged to Miss Anna Semple. The stock
can be replaced. There was but little of
value to be obtained, asa number of watches
were safely locked up and the fire proof had
not been interfered with ut all.
Nothing was taken from the dwelling
portion, excepting "a small caba belonging
10 Mrs. DeNormandie, which was found by
the burglars in closet in the sitting room.
The contents of the caba were carefully laid
on table and the bag itself was no doubt |
used to carry of the plunder. A walnut
box was found on the steps leading to the |
cellar, and had evidently been first used as |
u receptacle for the stolen goods.
The thieves were no doubt after money
and articles of decided value and Mrs.
DeNormandie thinks they must have been
acquainted not only with the premises but
lhe occupants as we'll, US they very kindly
lett her gold spectacles behind on a spot
rom which the necklace was taken.
lhe exact loss cannot be stated or known
Tor some time. The number of the watches.
however, is known. The Chief of Police
has been notified and the robbers, evidently
lot professionals, will be hunted up
loosely.

STOCKLEY IN SUSSEX.
The Nomination Giving Satisfaction =
Democrats Meaning Work.


Especial correspondence Of the Gazette.
GEORGETOWN, August 23.-All the talk
on our streets this morning is politics
Every one seems to be aroused and Demo
Gratis appear to mean work. The nomina-
tion of g. c. Stockley and Charles B. Lore
has been received with expressions of great
satisfaction, and the prevailing opinion is
that they will sweep Sussex. Lambden's
followers, as some are called here, have
fallen In line and say the Charles are the
boys, while numbers OF old and tried Re-
publicans, who are men of character and
standing, say that they will support them
before they will the Republican nominees,
who were nominated by the Dover ring.
There is now no doubt that the Republicans
under the leadership of "Dick" Harrington
cannot hold their men. Almost half OF
their party is lukewaTm while many others
openly declare they will not support the
State ticket Stockley is recognized as a
man of integrity and honor and man who,
with mind of his own, will be Governor ii
elected. He is progressive and up with the
times. His record shows him all this and
makes the people believe that the declara-
tions of the platform upon which he stands
will not be all sham If he is elected
The Republican County Central Com
mittee met here yesterday and fixed upon
Tuesday, September 2, as the day for hold
ing the Republican county convention.
Richard Harrington was here and very ac-
tive. He proposes not only to run the State
campaign but also the county. The more
he stirs the greater the stencil and the better
for the Democrats.
The camp near Georgetown breaks this
morning. 1t has been q great success
socially. The meetings were good but the
converts were few in number.
Peach shipments are large and the crop is
selling at paying prices. This, with the
fact that Sussex never had better grain
crops should give Sussex an impetus in
money matters.
