If it is distinctly understood that the
proposed new high schosl building
shall only cost s45, 600, let that be the
amount settled upon. and let the peo-
pie know exactly what they have to
meet in the way of taxes. The people
will not be slow TO interpret the true
meaning of the action of the Board.
Instead of 1000 High School build
ing it is to be So, 900, and with extras
that always present themselves in such
building IL is more likely the cost
would come nearer $50, 600.
y The idea of deducting 900 for heat
ing, 1900 for paving, 81, 200 for coping
and sewer and S400 for terrace and
pave, total S9,100 from the proposed
cost of the building to make it come
within the required $4,000, will not
strike the minds of the people in a
favorable light. What would a school
house be without heating arrange

Now VIII workingmen Vote

1t is not an unreasonable cues
ton to ask the workingmen of Will
mington what they will do and how
they will vote two weeks from NEXT
Tuesday. Wilmington is emphatically
manufacturing city, with laboring
population as thrifty, as happy and as
contented as can be found in aoy other
city in the Union. This prosperi,v
and happiness are due to the large num-
Der of manu- featuring establishments
who employ these laborers, and that
we have these manufacturing establish.
ments in our city is due to the protec-
ton that Is thrown around them by a
protective tariff. AS these working
men employed in these manufacturing
establishments have the full benefit of
protection it is an important question
with them which party they will vote
Tor in this campaign. Have the work
ingmen made up their minds? II they
have not they should study long over
the subject before they conclude to vote
against their interests.

Fraud Threatened,

Mr., VIM. M. Evarts, the upholder and de-
fender of the Great Fraud of 1876, by which
Tilden was robbed of the place TO which he
was elected, in recent speech delivered by
him in Brooklyn, declared that the Demo-
Gratis shall never have possession of this
government"
Does this man, who profted eight years
ago by the part he took in defrauding
the people of the United States of their law
fully elected President mean that ifa MAORI
ty this year shall elect Grover Cleveland the
minority will raise the standard of rebellion
and prevent his Inauguration
That the Republicans are desperate is seen
by their newspapers and by the frantic raw
ings of their public speakers, but we can not
imagine that their folly will lead them into
the destruction which would surely over
whelm any one who would dare to endeavor
to set aside the verdict of the people in the
year of grace 1884 The war is over and
the civil law must and will be upheld.

Claiming too Much Credit.

Col. Webster in his speech in Bel Air. last
Saturday, said that in passing through Har.
ford county he had observed that the fields
were well fenced, the farms well titled, neat
houses and barns, and peace and plenty sml.
ing everywhere. His remarks, subsequently,
were evidently intended to lead his hearers
to infer that all these evidences of prosperity
were due, not to the self denying labors, the
economy and the good management of our
farmers, but to the blessings of Republican
administration at Washington. Is it posi-,
BILE that the Republicans want to claim, with
so many other things, the credit of the
bountiful harvests of the last few years p
Perhaps, too, they are responsible for the
drought. Col. Webster forgot that Hartford
for some years, has enjoyed the blessing of q
Democratic administration of its affairs.

The past two weeks have been full OF sad acc-

An Unworthy Appeal for Votes.

Mr.. VIM. M. Marine, in his speech at the
Republican meeting in Bel Air, last Satur-
day, is reported as saying that the Republ.
cans would surely be successful, and that
there would be number of offices to be dis.
tributed in that event. The young men, es-
pecally, were urged to vote for Blaine and
Blair and thus establish claim to an office.
Truly, Mr.. Marine consistently advocated all
that is left of Republicanism, namely scram-
bic for office, Once the Republican party
could boast principles now its leaders have
sunk it so low that the strongest argument
they can hold out to the young voter is,
Vote with us and you shall have an office.
Whose office will he get? Where is the Re-
publican patriot in the Custom House or else
where who is ready to give up his place to
some ardent young convert to Blaineism.
Besides, will Mr.. Marine tell us what claim
those who vote for Blaine or Blair will have
upon President Cleveland?

The Episcopal Diocesan Convention.

The Protestant Episcopal convention of
Maryland failing to select a bishop at the
regular meeting, last May, adjourned until
Wednesday, October 2sth, at which time it
reassembled in ST. Peters Church, Baltimore.
Six ballots were taken at the morning ses-
sion and five at the evening session without
making a choice The votes at first were
about equally divided between DR.. Leeds and
DR.. Eccleston, but on the Gath ballot, at night,
the vote stood, DR.. Leeds 65; DIR. Eccleston,
SO. At this point DR.. Leeds asked that his
name might no longer be used In the inter-
walls OF the ballots some general business was
Transacted. '9 iFtt
On Wednesday morning after several un-
successful ballots, committee of conference
was appointed, consisting of Rev. Drs. Hut
ton, Eccleston, Grammer, Hodges, Brand and
Leeds, Messrs. d. M. Thomas, VIM. A. Stew
art, Charles Albert, John A. Lynch, G. H.
Wyatt and 81. r. Hazelhurst. The commit
tee recommended the Rev. DR.. Paret, of Wash
ington, and on the next ballot he came within
two votes of election. Several more unsuc-
cessful ballots were taken and the convention
adjourned until Thursday morning
On Thursday afternoon the Rev. VIM. III.
Paret, Of the Church Of the Epiphany,
Washington, was elected Bishop. DR.. Paret
is in the prime of life and vigor, and is man
of undoubted piety, ofgreat learning, and of
pre-eminent ability.

Vote for DR.. Shaw.

Hon. Frank T. Shaw, the Democratic can
ddate for Congress, has made several speeches
in this county, and wherever lie has gone he
has made hosts of warm friends. He is Il
forcible, ready and graceful speaker, and all
who have heard him feel satisfied he will
make a faithful and efficient representative.
There is no reason why any Democrat in
Hartford county should refuse to vote for him.
In fact, the Democratic ticket as it comes
from the printing press this year, needs no
scratching. 1t is an honest ticket in every
respect.

1t is not likely that any Irish American
in Hartford county can be deluded into voting
for Blaine, on the pretence that lie is friend
to old Ireland or Irishmen. When the Know
Nothing party was in the height of its power
Blaine was one of its chief captains and all
his power and influence were used in the
Kennebec Journal, of which lie was editor,
to prevent foreign-born citizens from enjoy
ing the rights and privileges which the Con-
stitutionand laws guaranteed them when they
become or wanted to become American citi-
zens. Again, in recent years, when Secre-
tary of State under President Garfield, he
turned deaf ear to the complaint of irish
American citizens languishing in English
prisons, being more profitably engaged in
bulldozng Peru to secure the payment of
guano claim in which he had personal inter-
est. What assurance for him 10 ask an Irish
American to vote for him
