the Newark Meeting.

tut tne REPUBLICAN,
NEWARK, Oct. 9th, 1882
MESSRS EDITORS In response TO
call for mass meeting Of the Demo
cratic party of White Clay Greek Hun
Idred, somewhere between 150 and 20(
all told, assembled in the Cooperation
Hall In this town on Saturday nigh
last. After the appointment of Pres
ident and some half dozen or more
Vice Presidents taken from the various
wings of the party in this Hundred
one OF whit became of age on last
Tuesday, he having received just
twenty one votes for the office he de-
sired, at the hands of his fellow Dnmo.
Gratis, AS none Of the heavy artillery
from your city, such as Sharplsy, Tur.
Der and Pennington, had come out,
George H. Bates, Esq, candidate for
Legislative honors, was the first called
upon to speak his piece. Now this
same Bates ordinarily wears the ap.
pearanoe of candid kind of man.
He seldom smiles. but It ia really as-
tOnishing when a man ia before the
people for their suffrages how cheeky
he will get In very short time.
1t is true he did well when speaking
of the candidates of the Republican
party. He said they were men of ex
cellent character, bur what would he say
and be truthful L? The party Is justly
proud Of the men from the Governor
down that they have put before the
people. Mr.. Bates own partner in busi-
uess, who by the By is a rising young
man, one that is destined TO make his
mark in this community at no distant
day, was placed in nomination fer the
Legislature, but Mr.. william Candy,
an older and more experience
mau was chosen.
But to return to Mr.. Bates, he put
on the cheek hen he proclaimed that
the Democratic party $50 naIleh) was
in favor Of increased representation.
They have been in power for nearly
thirty years and have never taken the
f rst step in that direction. But now
when they gee that the people are de-
termined in this matter, they would
make believe hat they are in favor of
il, but il is too late, and just a little to
thin.
T. was amusing 70 persons who have
heard both Bird and Bates at the bar
Eostrum, or any other place. to hear
how he ignored Levi. He said no per-
son of note in Wilmington had spoken
at either of the Republican meetings
recently held in the Opera House in
your city, but think l remember of
seeing IL reported that Levi was on
hand at one or the Other, perhaps at
beth of said meetings. Now the ques-
tion is w.to are the men of note in Will
let echo answer who. I'll bet
If Levi was on hand he put in some
'quare licks. Mr.. Russell from the
hub, Bates Brotherinlaw was on
hand, hu' had nothing to say in CON-
of their now distinguishei
fellow citiz n AMI Democratic candi
late for Governor, General Benjamin
f. Butler, he did not even say Spoons,
)r Beast Butler. Y.

The Population of Lon dom

The new census of London, showing
the population to be 4, 764, ,312 souls, has
drawn out from Land, the English
journal, some striking contrasts.
"There are," it says, ''in London more
than double the number of people in
Denmark, including Greenland; nearly
three times as many as in Greece; more
than eighteen times the population of
Montenegro; some thousands more than
Portugal, including the Azores ana
Madeira; nearly treble the population
of Servla; more than double th4t of
Bulgaria; three-quarters of million
more than in Holland; more than
Sweden, or Norway, or Switzerland"
"And yet, }" adds the same paper, "this
splendid capital, the most populous and
wealthy city the world has ever seen,
is practically without a government"

OlsEAM OF rnEMAILs.

A burst Of golden sunshine,
"A whispering Of the leaves,
A muslc-ripple on the brook,
A Joy, q wonder IN each nook;
A sweeptng shadow DER the land,
A flushing Of the tree tops,
n orimsOntng Of the lake,
A peaceful mildness In the air
A thought OF hidden mysteries there,
a glorious fading of the sun
A Summers day is done.
A Joy In childhood's playthiEgs,
A casting them aside:
A fash Of golden yOuth-hood's hour,
When Joy breaks through h the passing shower
A castle br!'diag In the al;
a cherished hope defeated;
A nile, joy, doubt.
A gleam, reflected from the past;
A sigh upon Its bosom cast;
A mystery OF world unknown;
And then-a soul has flown.

The HOp crop In England

Late reports from England still agree
that the hop crop in that country is
one of the worst that has been known
in many years, and that the supply OF
old stock Is short. Leading mer.
chants place the:yield at from 970, 900 to
4S0,O00, old duty, while one OF them
goes 80 low as 100000. Continental
plantations, except those of Alost, in
Belgium, promised more abundant re-
turns. To make good the deficiency
dealers look to "America and Califor.
nia," as the London correspondent of a
Manchester paper says.

A Memory.

Sitting IN the M. E. Church last
Monday evening, listening to war
"reminiscences, the one recurring
thought in our head was, How long
ago all this seems" The events of the
civil war are fast becomiug memories,
remembrance es, recollections that but
seldom heave to the surface. They
are al under stratum over which tho
silt and flow of twenty years has
superimposed new soil. The field,
dungeon and escape, the life and death
in gloomy prisons, the march and
countermarch, the bivonac, the
charge, the cheer If victory ur the
sullen retreat are for these who par
ticipated in them. but tale to be told
of winter evenings. To those who
stayed behind, the women and chill
dren, land the brave home guard) who
read in the papers the list of killed
and wounded and suffered pangs pf
torturing suspense that eqnaled in
patriotic merit the suffering of hus.
band or son OF brother upon the bat
tie field, it was indeed weary time;
and it is cause for thanks and graf
ulation that no probable cause for in
ternecine conflict need rise for many
years to come.

A fair audience met at the new NJ.
Z. church last Monday evening to
hear Rev. J. 81. Acton lecture on
"Turchin's thieves" The peculiar
verbiage Of the title was explained at
the start by the lecturer who said that
owing to certain element in their
brigade whose ideas Oh the acquisition
of property were somewhat vague, the
whole command was known as "Tur.
chin's thieves" Turchin being the
name of the commander. Mr.. Acton's
narration was a series of pictured rem
iniscences; a recollection of Scenes and
incidents that occurred twenty years
ago. The familiar names of Stones
River, Forts Henry and Donelson,
Pittsburg Landing, ETC., recalled the
men and memories Of 80 to the minds
of many present. His delineation of
camp life showed that he'd "been
there" and when he (iguratively
speaking) "shouldered his crutch aud
showed how fields were won," he
elected the heartiest approval. We
were unexpectedly pleased in hearing
him make emphatic mention of what
we have always maintained, viz: that
General Geo. Fl. Thomas was the gem
eral in that campaign, was the man
for the place and contributed as no
other man could to set the seal of
victory upon what threatened to be a
disastrous rout. That he was not
more highly honored was due to his
disposition; to others was left the tin
sci and the glory, to him is delegated
praise and admiration from thousands
who saw his merit At the close of
the lecture which was listened to with
attentive interest by all present, Mr..
Acton said few words in his own
behalf in reference to the paper he
edits and which he is trying to make
a power for good. Like all newspa-
per men he likes to have good SUBJ
scription list and is to be commended
for his efforts in that direction. The
next lecture Of the course will be de-
livered next Tuesday evening in the
same building, when Rev. J. A. Gray,
of Portland, viii discourse upon "The
swing Of the pendulum.
