A BANKRUPr PARTY.

How the Young Mons Republican Club Il
Trying TO Meet 'the Indobtedness Of the
Republican Party OF Delaware"
| The following circular relates to a matter
| which the GAZETTE has already made pub.
lie. This circular has been given a wide
distribution, and Is printed In the. Dela.
'0arean to-day:
| HEADQUARTERS OF THE YoUNs MEMS
kEPUBLIoAN CLUB, No. $40 MARKET
STREET, WILMINGTON, DEL, March .15,
1883. Dear Sir: We address you in the in,
terests Of the Republican party Of Delaware.
During the last campaign the Republican
State Central Committee Contracted with
the James & Webb Printing and
Stationery Company of this CITY
for the printing and stationery
necessary for the work of the campaign.
The bill amounted to ($90O) nine hundred
dollars. No arrangements have been made
for Its payment, although repeated efforts
have been made to collect the amount. An
itemized bill Of the James & Webb Com
pany Is now in our possession and
includes among other items the cash
paid by this company for the paper on which
the ballots of Kent and Sussex counties
were printed, and also the bill for printing
the same. All Of the posters for the meet
ings In Kent and Sussex are detailed in the
bill together with stationery, &C., essential
to the management OF the campaign.
These facts having been laid before us the
club decided TO endeavor to secure Sufficient
money to cancel this indebtedness which
exists as an obligation against the Republi.
can party, particularly of the lower counties,
and If left unpaid would discredit the party
and prove gross injustice to the creditor.
Having thus briefly presented the facts,
we appeal to you for such contribution as
you may be willing to make. 1t is desired
that subscriptions should be general, hence
burdensome TO none. We address you con-
hdentially, as it is obviously desirable to
keep this action within the knoWl-
edge of our party. Send all remlttances,
which will be promptly acknowledged,
to j. K. Pierce, Treasurer, No. IS Z. Sixth

tion to the fund for the payment of the in
debtedness of the Republican party of

with strong persstency on any fancy that took
possession of her mind, and at last becoming
a monomaniac upon the subject of disease

everything done to resuscitate her, but life
was extinct. She was a lady of good character
and morals, had many warm friends, and her
sad death has thrown gloom over the COM

band and two chidren-one young man, now
in business in California, and the other young
