election except to elect Governor. 1t
IL Just as consistent for the Governor Of
this State TO appoint Senators, Repre-
sentatives, Levy Court Commissioners,
Sheriffs, Coroners, Assessors and Col
lectors for every county in the State NJ
1t is for him to select the men to run
and control the Water Department
and Police Department Of the city of
Wilmington.
The patronage now In the hands Of
the Governor is unjust and 1t is not
Democratic. The Recorder of Deeds,
Prothonotary, Register of Wills, Clerks
OF Orphans Courts and Registers in
Chancery, and Clerks of the Peace
should be elected directly by the people,
rs is done in almost all OF the States OF
the Union and instead of taking more
Of the rights Of the people away from
them and placing the masses under
one-man power, the people should direct
ly have the choice Of all the officers
above named. What does the Governor
know about the wants Of the citizens Of
Wilmington Only what professional
pothouse politicians represent to him
for the peoples interest ? Oh, no for
their own individual interest.
This proposition to take the control
of the officers from the citizens Of Will
ming;on, the taxpayers, who have 10
raise the money to pay such officers and
keep up the city In all its various de-
partments, Is one Of the most infamous
character imaginable. The m4n who
are engineering this movement have
nothing to lose by increased expendi-
lures of the property-holdcrs' money.
We want a government of the people,
for the people and by the peoples
choice in this city. The citizens of
Wilmington know how to take care of
themselves. Ifone party Of men don't
do their duty they will turn them out,
.s they did the BOOSTERS last June.
Fellow1itizens, guard well your
rights, and let the BOOSTERS either re-
main on their roosts where the people
have placed them by their votes, or else
let them flop Off and seek some other
Legitimate employment. The people of
this city are perfectly willing to accept
the men for officers that receive the
highest number Of legal votes at the
ballot-box. But they do not want one
man from Kent or Sussex County or
anywhere else to say who shall spend
the money they have to pay for city
taxes in Wilmington

LIvELY FUNERAL.
Festive Aurlal 0T . Believer IN In.
geFDOll.

BRADFORD, Pa, March 6.-The fnne
raj Of +. g. Stebbins, late editor of tn
Cuba IN. Y. Patriot, was held yester
day ut Towanda, N. Y, and wa
attended by such novel features as Il
cause profound sensation in the neigh
borhood where 1t occurred. Stebbins
was an unbeliever ofthe Ingersoll stripe
and for many months has been slowly
wasting away with consumption. A
few weeks ago he addressed farewell
editorial to his subscribers, in the
columns of the PatriOr, in which he
spoke Of his approaching dissolution
with the utmost freedom. and the arti-
Gle attracted widespread comment.
Prior to his death he exacted from his
family the promise that no minister of
whatever denomination, should be al
lowed to hold services of whatever kind
over his remains.
He was member of the organization
known AZ the Knights Of Honor, and
desired that the services, both 1T the
house and grave, should be conducted
by them. He further stipulated that
the Knights Of Honor and the mourners
while following his remains to their
last resting place, should sing thar old
army sayg. Merching through Geor-
gia," and that on'the return from the
cemetery they should all join in singing
the rather sentimental song, "Good-by,
my love, good-by." These strange re-
quests, made by Mr.. Stebbins on his
death-bed, were literally carried ont.
A gentleman from this city volch-s
that the program az outlined above was
carried out, much to the horror and as
of the people, who could not
reconcile the singing Of such songs with
a funeral service.
The deceased was for several years a
postal clerk on the New York Railroad.
A change of Administration caused his
retirement, when he again took up
journalism. Subsequently he received
the appointment rs United States Con-
sui to one of the Philippine Islands.
While he was on the ocean terrible
storm swept over the Philippines, swal-
lowing up one or two OF the islands, and
when the vessel bearing Mr.. Stebbins
arrived the Consul found his island
washed away. 80 he returned to the
United States, and established the Cuba

The Denocrats Uneasy.

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia evening Bulletin Of March
5th, says: "The Republicans feel that
they have secured a great victory in the
passage of the Tariff bill, which will be
felt in the next National election, aud
that the course taken by the Democrats
in refusing to serve on the Commit g
of Conference which fixed up the bill,
and afterwards in opposing its adoption
in the Senate and House, place. them
in II position which will prove very EN-
barrassing when the matter is discuss
ed in the next CANVASS. The people
will not be slow to understand that the
heavy reductions in taxation were rec
ommcrdrd and urged by Il Republican
President, and passed by a Republican
Congress against the bitter opposition
of the Democrats, and to the Ecpubl.
can party therefore belongs the credit
for this relief. Since yesterday very
prominent Democrats have admitted
that their course was a mistake, in view
Of tn" fact that the bill was finally pass
ed, and that it is going to be ditficult to
explain the matter to the people sati
fartoriy. Their only hope is that the
bill may not in many Of its details,
meet the demands of the country, and
that they can profit by it by alleging
that if they had had the power the
measure would have been just right. i"
