Wilmington. THURSDAY, Sep. IS, 1886

AT present the outlook is that Senator |
Gray will succeed himself But even
Ahould he not, Mr.. Gray has abundant
reason to feel proud OF the endorsement
his county gave him on Saturday. With
one OF the most popular men in the State
-.-and that Mr.. Lore is dcservedly popu-
lar no one will dispute in tho field
against him, Mr., Gray secures seven out
OF nine Of tho legislative nomi-
neea, and nomination in this cam
paign is conceded TO he equiya-
lent TO election. In this city, even
eonceding that there was n libcralamount
of cheating done by inspectors, the mar
gin by which Mr.. Ware Inns ON the face OF
the returns defeated MIR. Moore, is so
large that the fact of his nomination viii
hardly be disputed. II is feryently to be
hoped that the honest voters will bring
30 strong pressure to bear upon the
next General Assembly as TO compel the
Equalization Of the primaries hereafter
and thus rendor impossible the
psrpetration of frauds grave enough
to make Wilmington nominations by
word ali over the State. But, leaving the
vote of Wilmington out OF consideration,
the endorsement of Mr.. Gray by tae rest
of the county has been 80 overwhelming
that the result would hardly BIZ affected
