crowded by numerous friends from Towns
end, Philadelphia and in Wilmin gton.
The brds, who was attended by her sister,
Miss Lizzie Talley, as first bridesmaid, wore
dress of white ottoman satin, white tulle
veil, orange blossoms and diamond ear
rings. The groom was waited upon by Mr.
]. c. Chalrant as first groomsman, who es-
corted the brides sister. Mr.. S. Knox and
Miss Nettie Mills, of Dover, Del, followed
and Mr.. John Shuster, of Philadelphia, will
Miss May McCord brought up the rear The

Among tho invited guests were William
Bright, grandfather Of the bride; George NJ
d. Hart ard wife, Walter D. Hart, DR.. an'
Mrs Parvis and Miss Mollie L. Hart, 0

PRICE TWO CENTS.

cation to Mr.. Cleveland is just as likely to
be right, and emblematic of the social phase
of his incumbency as auy supposition that
can be put forward. The absence of all GER
emony and parade would not be considered
by the new President as any great sacrifice,
nor its rigid perpetuation necessity for
federal sdrrou dings.
With man of Mr.. Cleveland's mental
tina6re, there would indeed, be no necessity
of explanation. His followers will natur-
ally take the cue. His sturdy simplicity
will impart such an atmosphere Of vigorous
life to everything in his ncighborhood, that
that the superficial air of ceremony aud So
cial exactions will quietly glide ont the new
King will reign, and the social magnates
perceive the necessity of cutting their gar
ments to suit the unpretentious code of the
first Democratic President that the Capitol
has seen for quarter of a century.

A Kindly Work.

Had it not have been for the kindly efforts
Of Mr.. Harvey B. yandegrift the Italians at
the Bellvue quarry would in all probability
have been either frozen, Or starved to death
bef,re this time. The condition Of these
strangers was pitable in the extreme, and it
is almost impossible to picture the absolute
wretchedness which empaled this Italian
camp.
Sick, freezing, starving-can there be any
condition more uninviting, and Mr. Vande-
grilt's untiring energy in behalf of these un-
fortunates, stamp him humanitarian
whose efforts are eminently worthy of both
admiration and emulation.

The CABINET.

All political questions are subordnated t(
the one great question of who shall const'
tute the family board of the new President
The constituting of the Cabinet will outline
the governmental policy of the incoming adj
ministration for the next four years.lf Presi'
dent Cleveland has an abiding faith in the
virtues of Civil Service Reform he will EN-,
phasize that faith by naming Hon.
George Fl. Pendleton--the father
of Civil Service Reform, for Pre-
mier of his Cabinet, but if President Cleve-
land believes in Civil Service Reform merely
as coniurer for votes during anti-election
days, he will give Mr.. Pendleton the go
by.
It is generally conceded that the Secre'
tary of tine Treasury will come from New
York, and Daniel B. Manning will probably
be his name.
The Secretary of the Interior should be
one who would fearlessly deal with the rail
road corinorants of the West, and in case
Mr.. Pendleton ia not called to the Secretary
ship of State, Allen G. Thurman, of ban
danna fame, is one of the very best men in
this country for the portfolio of the Inte-
rior.
For Postmaster General, Hon. John G..
Carlisle, Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives, would be an eminenty appropriate
selection.
The whole country would applaud the
appointment of General George B. McClel-
Ian for the War Department,
William b. Eaton of Connecticut, is free
lly discussed for the Navy.
The Attorney Generalship has been so
generally conceeded, by the knowing ones,
to Senator Garland of Arkansas, that no
other name has been seriously mentioned
for this position.
The friends of Senator Bayard would
have been saved from humiliation had they
waited until the sage Of Grammercy
Park had been heard from, before they
pressed too feryently their favorites claim.
Samuel Tilden made Grover Cleveland Gov
emor of New York-Samuel Tilden made
Grover Cleveland the Democratic Candi-
date for President, and Grover Cleveland
being the residuary legatee Of Samuel Til
den, lie will administer the governmental es-
tate largely after the pleasure Of Samuel
Tiden: and this much, suffice it to be said,
that Mr.. Tilden will iii no way encourage
Senator Bayard's aspirations for 1888.
4 4 TLo4n as III s.sowes hostilits tbetseeli
Bayard and Tilden and the personal and
political affiliations of Cleveland and Til
den are of such an intimate character as tt
place Senator Bayard beyond the range o.
Cabinet probabilities, and if expedieuc!
should suggest portfolio for the Delawar'
Senator it will not be rendered upon gol
den plaque.

The MayoraIty Nomination.

Judging from the freely expressed senti-
ments of our Republican friends in reference
to the Mayoralty nomination it is evident
that they do not purpose making any mis-
takes upon that point. There is unani-
unity of feeling all along the Republican line
that, with a candidate of fuuimpeachable rec
ord, success will be within the range OF
probabilities, and our readers will anticipate
ms in stating that the one name which stands
forth as the shibboleth of success to the Re-
publican cause is that of Henry G. Conrad,
Esq.
As President of the City Council for two
successive terms Mr. Conrad's rigid obser-
vance of his duties has invited the admira-
ton of his friends and disarmed the criti-
cisms of his political opponents. political
decisions have been tempered with nom
partisanism that has dumbfoun ed the strab-
ismitic politician. Honest, fearless, and
forcible in the presentation of his subject,
Mr.. Conrad is to-day the ideal of his party
and his nomination will be assured if he can
be.persuaded to accept the shallow honoi
which is now attached to the Mayoralty o
Wilmington.
Who will be the Democratic nominee TO
,the Mayoralty? The treachery that wa
alleged to have been practised in the Demo
cratic camp at the last municipal election
,of too recent date to be forgotten. and If tn
element accused Of detection in that can
paign essays to give especial direction
Mayoralty nomination it will produces LUX
warmness in the canvass which will pro-
the hal binger Of defeat.
Mr.. Conrad's nomination by the Repub
cans clearly outlines the rational course
the Democratic party. In the coming m
nicpal election the Democrats cannon affo
to.enter the canvass handicapped, with a
extraneous issues; If their candidate
ireighted with apologies and explanatic
the race will be lost on the day of nomil
tion.
The party has within its lines clear, strc
and clean-handed men whom their fell
citizens would delight to honor, and the 5
of the times points very decidedly to
courteous and accomplished Professor
music as the one who has the most prou
ing elements of success for the Mayor;
contest. Prof. Rhoads is free from all pf
clique alliances, and his candidacy wo
cement the discordant elements which l
threaten the disintegration ofthe Democr
party.
With Henry @. Conrad as the candid
of the Republican party and Professor G.
Rhoads as the candidate of the Democr
party, the city of W Wilmington would be
sured safe and a conservative munie
administration.
