MIR. Gray Must Answer.

The oleomargaiine business is receiving its
due. 1t was conceived iD fraud. Itis com
mercial deception, and its worst phase is tina,
it assails the staple agricultural interests of
the land. The latter is in itself complete
Justification for legal action to intervene aud
protect our farmers and dairymen from an
annihilation of their industrial rights.
Upon most outrageous fiction of legal
quibblipg certain legislators at Washingl on,
among them our honorable and estimable
senator, the Hon. George Gray, at present
seeking the suffrages of his fellow citizens
of this State for reelection to the Senate
at Washington, made himself notorious, in
dustriously notorious, in advancing the in
terests of this nefarious business.
The farmers and dairymen, the landowners
also, of New Castle, Kent and Sussex, de-
mand of Mr.. Gray full aud complete ex-
planation of his course during the last ses-
sion in Congress when he gratuitously (for
until distinct allegation has been given that
the honorable senator hey received some
guid pro quo in payment of his peculiar course
his action must be adjndged simply as anoth-
or blunder Of judgment) and indrstriously
supported the attempted federal legalization
f tba fraudulent husippss
What manner of man is this, who, to serve
his own peculiar ends will deliberately sane
tion the robbipg and deprivation of large
and most estimable section of his fellowmen
of their time-honored rights in certain staple
industries, will unhesitatingly sacrifice them
and their interests into the hands of two or
three monopolistic firms in other states Gill;
nois and New York where the greatest share
of the oleomai garine business is becoming
fucussed.)
Reports from the localities referred to show
that the oleomarsarine factories are being
closed up.
We are glad Of iU. 1t is proper rebuke
to capitalists who have no commercial con.
science.
1t was nothing to them OF to Senator Gray

And yet Senator Gray stands proudly be

without hesitation, his belief in his right t,

These reasons are well and broadly know

The Omen of Silence,

The great Democratic Ratification meet.
ing, at the Grand Opera House, of nominees
to the Legislature, of the governcrship, &C.,
has come and gone.
What is to be said ofit What is to be
said in serious truth about it!
1t was most significant meeting-unex-
pectedly SO. As significant political meet
ing if Democrats can stand being told the
| truth, as the annals of Delaware can show.
1t was silent gathering. There was no
warmth about it, no exuberance, no exnres.
sion of hearty congratulation, it was totally
undemocrate in fact.
The reason is, the people were not present
at the ratification.
We all know that the meeting was well
advertised. A list of fine speakers was Civ
en-. A mass Getting was promised. But
the masses refused to be present. What a
contrast to the rousiug campaign meeting of
| two years ago!
Who then, let us ask in the name of the
Democrats of Wilmington and this county.
ratified these nominationsp The Democrats
of the county were not present. They re.
fused to be present, or to give their adhesion
to the action taken by certain parties Friday
week.
The record is that the nominees ratified
themselves. The nomin, o. to political posi-.
lions in this State sgnalized themselves in
the unprecedented act of making themselves
their own ratifiers! Was even such a
unique picture seen.
This is no time to hide the truth. Too
many of the Democratic citizens of Whining
ton, the metropolis of the State, are serious
minded men, who though they may tolerate
once in while the trickery of place
hunters and spoilsmen in the Guessing over
of facts demand at last that the truth no
longer be hidden. Citizens wish no longer to
hea. ratification meeting described by the
machine organ as an enthusiastic gathering
when both enthusiasm and voters were sig
nally absent.
The record of the present Democratic
campaign if itwere told with only measure
of fidelity to facts is, we regret to have to
say, one that should make the hearts of hon
est Democrats burn within them with shame.
From its initiation to the past moment of its
bastard ratification the campaign has been
one of outrage upon citizens rights Might
has put down right. Voters have been
openly suborned. And honorable gentlemen
the recipients of the advantage gained by
| the shameful methods referred to, in the
, place of indignant condemnation of those
methods, have publicly adulated and indie
Gently accepted the result.
Is it any wonder then that the masses,
seeing these thing going on before their eyes,
overty signalized their condemnation of
such vile political transaction by signifi-
can't abstention from the Ratification meet
rng! In this at least they showed their
honesty.
Would that the so-callcd Democratic lead
prs could perceive the lesson taught them by
the masses in this silent action.
Read ariglt, the meaning of the present
Democratic campaign, instead of a victory
presages death or obscurity to the party that
will quietly tolerate the practices too clearly
condemnable, that signalize the political
battle of 1886.

HeartIess Cruelty

it is to delude poor sufferer into the belief tn some worthless liniment will cure rheu- matism and neuralgia. Honesty is the best policy in the manufacture of proprietary ar ticles as in all other matters, and the fact that the proprietors of Athlophoros have never claimed for it even all it's merit would warrant has not little to do with it's won derful popularity, and the thousands of grateful testimonials received by them show that their policy has been wise as well as right.
 Experience has amply demonstrated that mere outward applications are worthless. The disease has it's seat in the blood, and any remedy to be successful must deal with the obstructive acid which poisons and in- flames it.
 Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles and joints directly. It takes the poison out of the blood and carries it out of the system; it invigorates the action of the muscles and limbers the stiffness of the joints. It reach es the liver and kidneys, cleansing them from irritating substances, and, if followed up after the rheumatic conditions cease, it will restore these organs to regularity and health.
 HARRINGTON, Conn.
 You ask if am cured of rheumatism by the use of Athlopholos. When first tried it I was afflicted in my knees. They were badly swollen and I suffered great deal of pain. Three doses began to take effect, and I used two bottles when the pain left, the swelling and stiffness disappeared and has never returned. About a year later my shoulder troubled me; I took one bottle and was cured of that and have not had rheuma- tism since I recommended it's use to one or two neighbors who tried it and were re- lieved. MRS. MARY s. HART.
 Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can- not be bought of the druggist the Athlophor- os Co.,, 112 Wall st., New York, will send either {carriage paid) on receipt of regular price which is $1 per bottle for Athlophoros and soc for Pills.
 For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia indiges- tion, weakness, nervous debility, diseases of wo- men, constipation, headache, impurei blood, &c Athlophoros Pills are unequaled.

THE OLD TOWN FARM.

A Hearing Before the Board of Public Works on the Matter of Laying Out
 Streets Through It-The Proposed
 Park-A Slight Iisunderstand1ng-
 No More Snow to be Dumped on the
 Public Squares.
 The much talked of matter of having the old town farm land cut up into streets came up before the Board of Public Works last night. The project is to enable the trustees to sell building lots, the proceeds of which would help erect the new aimshouse, which will cost $1O0, 1000. Secretary Gardner Morse and Harmanus M. Welch appeared for the trustees of the farm and John L. Treat for the town. MT. Morse wanted the city to lay out the streets and do the grading. The matter came before the Board in the shape of an order from the Court of Common Council.
 Councilman Chilling worth, of the Con- mittee on Streets, appeared before the Board and explained about the proposition to lay out park in that section. Gardner Morse said he believed the city would be benefited by the proposed layout. Property holders in the vicinity whose land would border on the new streets were all in favor of the streets. John L. Treat, for the town, favored the layout of the streets.
 The property which the trustees of the farm wanted divided up by streets extends from Sherman avenue to the river. They want three streets extended, Trowbridge, Brownell and Mott, and a new street laid out which would be called Reynolds street. The map of the proposed new park was shown the Board. There was slight misunder- standing existing between the Selectmen and trustees and council over the park matter, which will be remedied when the trustees and Selectmen are given opportunity to look over the maps of the park, there being two of them, ,and not one as was thought to be the fact by the trustees and Selectmen. Sec retary Morse stated that they would no doubt be willing to sell the farm or any section of it for a public park at very reasonable figure. After much discussion it was finally decided to lay the matter on the table.
 The petition for the removal of a couple of trees in the vicinity of Wall street was ferred to the superintendent of parks with power to act.
 The matter of repairing the walk on the north side of Chapel street near the Consoli dated road tracks. The city's share, it was voted, should be left at the discre tion of Superintendent of Streets Doyle, and it was voted to notify the property holders to re- pair their part of the walk.
 Superintendent of Streets Doyle asked as to whether he could dump any more snow on the Green. The question was answered by the passage of the following resolution:
 Resolved, That hereafter no snow be dumped in the public squares Of the city
 The following was also passed:
 Resolved That the matter of removing companies be referred to the superinte ndent of streets with power to act.

Archbishop Corrigan could not Ee seen to day by reporters to learn the object of the conference. Rev. MT. McGlynn also refused to see reporters. Rev.
