It is eless to make any criticism upon the
above tickets The day for any change has
passed. Aud still, this is the day when the
ctizels are supp lsed 10 exercise their sover-
eign ballot right!
How many hundreds however, of the citi-
zens Of Wilmington, that is to say Of those
to ay away from The polls, sick to nausea
of the repelIenC tickets fasted up,l them,
