Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, In her let
ter accepting the nomination of the fe-
mate suffragists for the Presidency,
gave some indications that she was
more Of a Democrat, 80 far as CT vii
service is concerned, than anything
else. The distinguished Belva pledges
herself to fair distribution of the pub
lie offices to women as we'll rs TO men
" after the women have been duly in
stalled in office" There is nothing in
the world more like Democracy than
this, and we heartily congratulate the
Democratic party on its valuable acqui-
sition. In other respects Mrs. Lock
wood rises superior to Cleveland. She
favors protection to American indus
tries, while Cleveland is as dumb as an
oyster upon that subject As there has
been considerable talk through the De-
mocratic press about the withdra val OF
Cleveland az candidate, we doubt
whether the party could do better than
to make Mrs. Lockwood its candidate
in place of him.
Should Mr.. Hendricks take notioI
not to be the tail end of the ticket il
case of Cleveland's withdrawal, Benia
min +. Butler would make an aimira
Bile substitute, and with married wo
man for President, and widow
for Nice-President, the Democrats ant
female suffragists would be accommo
dated with a strong ticket-one tina
would be as likely to win as the tickle
as at present constituted.

AS Irish meetings have
already occupied such prominent
place in the New York City campaign,
and the Irish supporters of Cleveland
having had the last, the Irish support
ers of Blaine and Logan are prepared
to go one better. There Is marked
difference between the Irish-American
supporters of the two candidates. Those
adhering to Mr.. Cleveland are the
Irish American office holders and their
friends in the Democratic party, and
those who are the friends of Mr.. Blaine
have bad the Independence to sever the
political chain that for so many years
bound them blindly TO party that
never appreciated them nor did any
thing to merit their support
These Independent Irishmen have
| crossed the stream and burnt the
bridges behind them. They bring with
them no Office holders like Congress
man Patrick A. Collins, of Boston, and
Senator Jones, of Florida, to make
speeches for them. They have no offices
70 offer or bestow on anybody, except
the offices of President and Vice Presi
dent, (which they intend to bestow upon
Blaine and Logan. They have struck
for independence, for American protec,
ton and for American interests, and
they do not intend to end the strike
until they have gained their demand. -
| These are the men who are engaged in
making arrangements for mass meet
ing that will strike terror to the hearts
of the English free-trade Democracy
and that will be mass meeting that
will not be addressed by any paid
office holders of the Democratic party
How would an Irish-Independent mas,
meeting work in Wilmington?

THE DEMOCRATS are beginning to
fnd that they will not only be compel
led to enter into a hopeless contest to
carry New York for Cleveland and
good morals, but that they will have as
much as they can do to retain solid
South. West Virginia, North Carolina,
Louisiana and Florida have from the
start been trembling in the balances and
now comes the news that Tennessee is
almost certain to go Republican. 1t
was the unanimous opinion of the Re
publican State Committee which met
yesterday that the R"publicans would
carry the State. T. w. Brown, an ex-
United States Senator Of Memphis, and
prominently urged as Democratic can
didare for Vice President, has announced
himself for Blaine and Logan and the
Republican State ticket.

The State Fair has closed, and 1t has
neither been a failure nor success In
the light Of State Fairs of the prese I
day. 1t was not up to the mark when
compared with our Dover State Fair,
nor even with our Middletown Agricul.
tural and Pathological Fair, but 1t wal
all that could have been expected of /,
in the absence of the use Of more prin.
ter's ink. In plain words, We mean
that the gentlemen who had charge Of
the fair and held 1t for their own per
sonal benefit did not seem to understand
us down here in Delaware.
They did not seem to grasp the ides
that in the city Of Wilmington there
were some $4,000 to 10000 copies Of
papers issued daily, and that nearly
every family in the county had 1t,
daily paper to say nothing Of the largs
number Of weekly papers that are pub
lished.
Living in the States North Of us
where it Is in order 10 sneer at every
thing Delawarean except our peaches
and our money, they made the mistake
Of imagining that we were not news
paper reading people.
We speak plainly, but we speak truth
fully, when We say that our people no
seeing much about this so-called State
Fair in the newspapers, they very nat
urally came t6the conclusion that 4

guage, q humbug Had proper efforts
been made to inform the people through
the proper advertising channel the fail

every respect. Instead ola few races
and not much else, the farmers would
have contributed their farm horses
their cattle, their hogs, their sheep and
their poultry.
They would have been present witt
their high stalks of corn, their nam
moth potatoes and biz pumpkins. Agri

contributed their farm supplements
and ladies would have brought theil
finest afghans, and their quilts of man,

The Democrats OF Illinois re-
ceived . knock down argument in
Chicago yesterday, by the refusal Of
Hon. John j, Finnerty, Democratic
member Of Congress from that city, to
pledge himself to support the Demo
cratic State and National ticket. Mr..
Finnerty is an Irish-American, one
who believes more in principles than In
party, and consequently could not sup
port Grover Cleveland for tho Presiden-
cy. Mr.. Finnerty, however, has &C
cepted an Independent nomination for
reelection to Congress-, and will make
it hot for the regulars.

1T Is unfortunate for Samuel j. Ran

Democrats have to be pronounced pro-

ZIONIST TO secure even an election to
