A CORRESPONDENT, whose character
istic letter we publish yesterday, is GER
tain that what we say about the Cleve-
land scandle," will make many
more votes for the Democratic party,
and he seems to know that the report
is all pack of lies anyhow. He
knows that Cleveland will be the next
President, and he has thousand dol
lars to bet on it. He winds up by sign
ing his communication, "A citizen
who has been a Republican" We dc
not believe he ever was Republican,
though he may have voted that ticket
sometime for 80 cents or something like
that. Further, the man who spells II
scandle" would use q little g" in
spelling the Deity little IN" in spell
ing Nation, and hasn't got ten cents te
buy his next swig of whisky.
Since writing the above we have re
ceived the following from " An ole
soldier" to apprize I" A citizen who ha
been IA Republican" that he can be &C
commodated
WILMINGTON, Del, September 3
To the Citizen who has been Re
publican, and who has thousan'
dollars TO bet that Cleveland will b
the next President. Sir, you c.n be nc
commodated without leaving Whining
ton AN OLD SOLDIER.

\ ear when even Delaware gave 423
Republican majority. The very next
year when a Governor was elected, the
majority fell to 1858.
In 1874 it came down to II, 1897, and
1875 to 1872. Even in the Presidential
year of 1876 it rose only to Is, 459; for
Governor, two months later, it was
only 16, i66 majority for Hayes. In
1877 the Republican majority fell to
II ,5i7, but in 1878 it went up to 10, 115,
but that year the Greenbackers polled
almost double the Democratic vote, and
this is the year when the Democrats
and Greenbackers fused and stole the
State Government. After this, the
Governors term was two years, and In
1880 the Fusionists carried the State by
1S9 majority.
Two months afterward, with such. 9
popular candidate as General Garfield
the State only gave S,s41 Republican
majority. In 1882, Robe, the present
Governor, popular as he was, only had
| 6,9O5 majority. This was the las
election in the State, and next Tuesday
will be the crucial test to see whether
Governor Robes majority of two
years ago is to be increased. In the
face Of these figures and facts we ART
met by the Democrats with the prepos-
ferrous assumption, that unless Governor
Robe has 20, 900 majority next Tuesday
it will be the political death kneil o
Blaine.
We do not see it in that light, neithe
do we believe any sensible man does
The Democrats beforehand accor(
Robbie 10, 600 majority, which would b.
amply sufficient TO insure from 1900
TO X, 900 for Blaine, but why 10000 i
the limit or his defeat must be &C
C .pted in advance il something we d
not comprehend. But there is no us
for our Democratic friends TO fret them
selves over Maine. Governor Rcbi
will have good large majority, Blain
will have larger one, and will carr

The Democrats are trying TO show
now thai unless Blaine gets Il MAORI J
of 20, 900 and more in Maine next Tues
day, that it will be an evidence of his
unpopularity III his own State, and
consequently evidence that he cannot
Ike elected in November. This is
another way of manufacturing political
capital for an unpopular candidate like
Cleveland, that wonld hardly have
existed except in the fertile imagina-
lions of ingenious Democratic minds
Ii they require the same increase il
every State, Blaine's majority woult
simply be immense.
Now, the fact is this Maine ha
never given that much majority for
Governor, even in the palmiest days o
RepublicaniSm at least, for the las
dozen of years, though she has beel
known to give more than that at
Presidential election. In the Creole.
campaign OF 1872, the Republican ma

Our Public Schools.

The crowded state of the public
schools shows the great necessity of
additional school accommodations
Every year at the opening Of the schools
there are about 800 children for whom
seats cannot he supplied. These chill
dren have TO remain uuprovided for
until, from one cause or another, other
scholars drop ont Of the schools, when
they are admitted to take their places.
There is great need of an additional
boys and girls high school now, and it
was hoped that the high school building,
for which ground has been purchased
at Eighth and Adams streets some time
ago, would have been so far under way
as to be completed in time for winter
use.
1t seems, however, that the structure
is hanging fire, partly from a change oil
plans, but principally from want OF
funds. The fact that the City Council
appropriation for building new schoo
houses is limited 10 500, 600 year, show,
how foolish it was to attempt TO bnild {
high school building that was to cos
100000. Even at a cost of S40,000 i

THE Republic of Peru, South Ameri-
ca, is in most deplorable condition.
What is to be become of her is some
thing beyond the knowledge of our
'diplomatists. Devastated and dread
fully impoverished by her ill-advised
war with Chill, she is now being torn
and plundered by armed gangs of ban
ditti in the gui Sc Of patriots. Not even
be capital of the country is safe from
these brigands. Had the policy d
James G. Blaine been carried out, PERI
would have been saved from being
plnndered, and the United States would
have been reaping the benefits of hel
trade instead of England.
