be advisable to have too many lawyers
in the Legislature, there should always
be fair mixture Of local talent with

we're left out Of the question, and the
choice made upon merit, there could
hardly be any other than . unanimous
expression in favor Of Mr.. Smith. In
the approaching session Of the Legisla-
ture, Wilmington should be ably rep
resented and the question now left to
decide Is who will best represent
the city. Messrs. Capelle and Smith,
or Messrs. McWhorter and Moore
Personally, we have nothing against
the latter gen lemen, but when 1t
comes to selecting and making new
laws for governing the State in a wise
and equitable manner for the bene.
fit Of all the people, the choice must
surely be in favor Of CapeAe and
Smith.
For a candidate for the Levy Court
between those true and tried Republi-
cans John w. Hawkins and Christian
Febiger, the choice has fallen upon Mr..
Hawkins. When both were 30 we'll
qualified by previous service in the
court, and where both had given such
entire satisfaction it was impossible to
make an unwise selection. Contrast
the ability and experience of Mr.. Haw-
kins with Mr.. Hickman, his Democratic
Opponent, and there will be no difficulty
in arriving at a proper conclusion as
for whom the votes Of the taxpayers of
the county should be cast who are not
held in partisan bonds.
Equally wise choices have been made
for the Legislature and the Levy Court
in the rural Hundreds. Gentlemen
have been nominated for members of
those bodies that are credit to the Re
publican party and for whom all who
desire wise laws and economical gov
eminent can conscientiously vote.

that could be attached by a scheming
partisan Legislature to make it Demo
cratic. Z. Emmor Baldwin is the Re-
publican candidate for assessor of the
First District. Though it was in
tended that this district should be made
solidly Democratic, there is a good
fighting chance for a popular young
Republican like Mr. Baldwin to win,
as there are quite number of Demo-
Gratis in the district that intend TO vote
the Republican ticket in the future.
James kienan is the Republican candi-

strongest Democratic district in the
city, but with good candidate like

We repeat that the Republican ticket
nominated is strong one and entitled
to the full support of the party tina,
nominated it, and now that the ticket
is made out, let every Republican go to
work for its success. Earnest work
and fair and honest presentation oil
