SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.


The great danger of the Democratic party
at the present. month is the idea which many
will entertain that they can defe"t James G..
Blaine and John A. Logan with almost any
body.
The truth is that these nominations have
given the Democrats great opportunity, in
spite Of the unwise tariff agitation which las
occupied so much of the time and attention
of tile present Congress- The selection of
strong candidates by the Democratic
National Convention will probably result IN
the overthrow of the party that wants to
make such man as James G. Blaine sue
cessor of Abraham Lincoln. But the Dem
ocratic candidates must be strong men
indccd-not second rate politicians, or mere
barrels of money,or faction leaders, but men
with some title to statesmanship-men who
will be likely to carry a Republican State
like Massachusetts, no less than a Demo-
cratic State like Mississippi.
The Democratic ticket should be one which
will attract the great independent vote of the
country and yet repcl no Democrat.

FOR THE W1LMINGToNIAN.
The Delaware Field Club, which has
grown out of the Delaware Cricket Club,
organized in this city ten years ago, is now
at home in its comfortable quarters on the
PHILADELPHIA Pike at Twentieth and Wash
ington Streets. The ground is being grad
ualy rolled down to suitable evenness and
three or four excellent "pitches" are obtain
able in the very centre of the enclosure. The
club house is painted dark red with black
stripes, and is a great ornament to the neigh
borhood. The tower commands most pleas
ing views over the city and the Delaware
River.
When the club started in 1882 the major
ity of the members knew very little Of crick
ct, but their training in the base ball
field gave them valuable assistance in the
department Of fielding. Gibbons and Fuleu-
wider We're the bowlers, the former having
an excellent delivery and being dead on the
wicket all the time. The eleven then con-
stituted obtained easy victories over the st.
Georges and Newark clubs, the only cricket
organizations in the State.
success made the members ambitious and
the visit of I.Austin,a young English crck-
eter, taught the members many valuable les
sons. One of these was the mode of hand
ling the bat for defensive purposes, viz
De,ficdlly, instead of horizontally as in the
base ball field. Several of the players have
now acquired very fair notion of the art OF
defending the wicket and play straight
ball with straight bat.
The Newark Eleven. an organization
formed under the auspices Of w. Homework,
ESD, Of lIomewood Park, Newark, has
ceased to exist, and two of its members, w.
Tomewopd Ir and L. Swaffer, have been
secured by the Delaware Club. IIomewood
is a capital bowler, patient, steady and
straight, with an awkward knaclS of getting
into the wicket every now and then with a
''shooter." He has much improved since lie
bowled for Newark two years ago; his pace
is greater and the ball is pitched well
up.
Elillcs isanother valuable acquisition; he
has good delivery, is quite fast and gener.
ally on the wicket With slow bowler to
face Hillos and iIomewood, the clul
could give good account of itself against
anything but first class club.
The fielding Of the Delaware leaves little
to be desired, and the men work well
together. The club would be stronger il
