AFTER THE BATTLE.
A CARD OF THANKS.

We return our thanks TO the citi
zens Of Wilm ington for their generous
support during the Christmas trade
Just past. The results have been most
gratifying, our sales having exceeded
by one filth In amount those Of any
former year. Nothing like . whole
some opposition TO stir up trade. We
are fully satisfied that full lines
OF goods In all departments and
prices that compete successfully
with Philadelphia, will keep trade at
home. Our stock in many lines Is OF
course broken. But we shall receive
fresh supplies on Monday, the 2S,h, and
shall be fully prepared 10 meet all de-
mands for New Year gifts. We have o
splendid line Of New Year cards, and
our stock Of books, we think, will still
meet almost any demand, although we
never sold 80 many In the same time.
Orr store will be open every evening
next week. Wishing our patrons q
happy New Year. we are respectfully,
THE JAMES g. WEBB COMPANY.

BALLOT THIEVES MUST GO,
Radical Resolutions Adopted by Outrage
Voters in Chicago.


Voters in Chicago.
CHICAGO, April 1.-The following reso'
lutious wree adopted at mass meeting IN
the North division last night:
WHEREAS. Chicago is in great peril al
the hands of an organized band Of rnthans
who in the desperate effort to retain their
power, step at no crime, with apparently nc
check BY our present police force; and
WHEREAS, The protection Of the ballot
box is OF equal importance with the protec'
ton Of life itself; therefore
Resolved That committee OF five be
appointed BY this meeting TO wait upon the
committee OF public safety and urge upon
them TO call mass meeting OF citizens,
irrespective of party, to protest againt such
work, and to perfect throughout the city
such organizations S may be necessary to
put a stop TO these outrages; and,
WHEREAS These outrages are possible al
our elections because of the deficiency in
our State election laws, which afford US no
protection at the polls or in the courts
therefore,
Resolved, That we pray our Legislature
TO afford us permanent safety by passing
Efficient election laws similar TO those no"
in force in New York
It is understood tina; the Citizens Com
mittee has agreed to support Judge Smith
IN contesting the mayoralty election with
Carter Harrison. II was asserted this
morning that in addition to numerous al
legged frauds, a clerical error in making out
the returns in the Ninth district OF the Four
teenth ward, gave Smith 7j and Harrison
oI4 whereas the figures should have been
reversed. The same error is said to have
been made in the Third precinct OF the
Fourth ward, where the published returns
cave Harrison l32, and Smith 60. There
have been no new developments in the bal
lot box burglary.
