If this had been an ordinary woman

the grace of her walk that attracted my

She walked right on to the very head
Of the pier, and stood there for a few
minutes. | knew, by instinct, that she
was crying bitterly; then | was struck
by the manner in which she looked
round; it was evident to me that she
wished to be quite alone. At times the
waves playing round the wooden pillars
made some unusual sound: she turned
quickly, as though she suspected some
one was near her. Once a gentleman
stOlled leisureIy down the pier, stood
for a few minutes watching the sea in
silence, then went away; while he was
there she stood still and mOtiOnless as
a statue; then she looked round with

Giles LambSon.

The Republicans, since the nomination OF
Mr.. Hukill. the standing Republican candidate
for sheriff, are vociferously chanting aons
of praise in behalf of Mr.. Chambers. The
motive is too thinly guised to even need ex-
posing. The Republicans argue that by en-
couraging Chamber to make contest may
be possible for him to draw from LambsOn
sufficient votes to allow Hukill to carry off
the sherilfalty prize.
1t was plainly and Enthusiastically indicated
at the Democratic sheriffalty nomination
that Giles Lambson was the choice Of his
fellow citizens of New Castle County for the
office of sheriff-the vote was determined in
harmony with the wishes of the people as
expressed at said nomination and therefore
Giles Lambson stands as the accredited can
didate of his party.
Fraud in no way taints the candidacy Of
Gil a Lambson an! .e are persuaded that
the sinister agencies employed to compass
his defeat will only make his triumph more
complete.

The Sheriffalty Contest.
PRACTICALLY REVIEWED.

PRACTICALLY REVIEWED.
Middletown Transcript.
The candidacy Of Robert W. Chambers on
an independent ticket for Sheriff does not de-
serve the serious consideration nor any of the
votes of self-respecting Den o rats. Giles
Lambson is Il regular nominee of the Dem
octraic party, by a fair count of the honest
votes cast at the primaries. Chambers pretend
ed to have a majority, which was manufac.
tured during The days when the ballot boxes
in number of the Wilmington wards were
kept back for manipulation, and on the ms-
jorty thus unjustly and fraudulently OBJ
tain ID Mr.. Chambers goes before the people
and poses as an injured man, asking for the
votes Of the people, Giles Lambson has bis
nomination by right of honest votes cast in
the county hundreds as well as an honest
majority of tine Wilmingto wards. He will
serve the county credit. He is an upright
man, and has been identified with the inter
ests of the county and the agricultural com
munity for years. Chambers does not de-
serve the votes Of Democrats. and while the
Republican nominee may be good and
worthy man he has no qualifications for the
office not possessed by Mr.. Lambson.
Giles LambsOn deserves the votes of
Democrats, because be is Democrat, be-
cause lie has the regular nomination of the
party, and because he has equal ability with
any of his opponents to administer the af-
fairs Of the cffice. A vote for Chambers is
merely vote for his Republican opponent, as
Chambers has no show of election and is
only persisting in his canvas with the simple
desire Of defea' in; the regular nomines,

Princeton Alumni Of Delaware

]. Frank Ball, Esq, of this city has re
ceiyed communication from j. Bayard
Henry, E,q Of Philadelphia, representing
the Princeton College alumni of that city
and district, urging immediate action on the
part of Delaware alumni, in connection with
the district he represents. upon the subject
of alumni representation in the Board of
Trustees of Princeton College.
The board of Trustees of the college meet
on the 18th prox. On account of the near
ness of the date Mr.. Ball requests the atten-
tion of all Princeton alumni in this neighbor-
hood to the contents of the following set of
resolution, al d the signature of those who
endorse the project.
The document for signature can be found
for the next few days at Mr. Balls office on
Sixth street between Market and King
streets. -...
The resolutions are - .t-.-
w
ege in St. Louis, Chicago, New York, Phila-
delphia and elsewhere have at different times
and on different occasions expressed them
selves most strongly in favor of alumni re-
presentation in the Btald of Trustees, and,
at the alumni meeting held in Princeton,
June last, the subject was discussed, and the
suggestion that the alumni should receive
ecogniton of some kind in the management
of the affairs Of the College was received with
the greatest enthusiasm.
And, whereas, We do rot believe the Col
lege would be benefited by a change in the
manner Of electing the Board OF Trustees
but that the time has come for the for
nation OF Board Of Alumni, VIII ch shal
aid and assist the Board of Trustees in ad-
vancing the interests of our COl!eg+.
And, Whereas We believe the alumn--par-
ticularly the graduates Of the past twenty
years-are especially suited to cooperate
with the Boa.d of Trustees in all eIotts to
enlarge aud extend the influence of the Col
lege, and that with the right of representa-
tion of some kind every graduate, young or
old, would feel lasting interest in his Al
ma INuter and individual responsibility 10 do
all he could fol- the benefit of the College.
We, therefore, would respectfully ask
that the Board Of Trustees authorize the for
nation of b Dard Of Alumni, aud that a
committe of the Board be appointed to draft
/ plan for the formation and reputation OF
such Board aud tue functions aud duties in
cident therto, keeping III view the n cessity
Of proper geographical representation and

at the rext meeting of the Board o

1t has been generally overlooked, we think,
that the launching of the beautiful Alya al
the Harlan & Holliugsworth Company Is
yards marks the tiftieth anniversary of that
great shipbulldDg Company's incorporated
existence as a Wilmington business firm.
This company is now second to none upon
the American continent as an iron shpbuld.
ing establishment. Since 1886 it has steadi-
ly crept up to its present distinguished posi-
tion in the great industry of marine construc-
tion. The head of the concern is conferred
with both by the government naval officials
as well as by private individuals when any
costly or extensive piece of marine architec-
ture is contemplated. Its record of output is
numerically most remarkable as is also the
excellence of its work. For some American
firms it has constructed up to thirty iron
VESSELS.
The engines built by the company twenty
years ago are still in efficient working order.
Tie iron and steel vessels of the Harlan s.
Hcllingsworth Company are found in every
bay and inlet of this hemisphere from Puget
Sound to the Amazon and the North Atlan-
tic coast.
The work of its predecessors even, the
Belts, Pusey & Harlan Company is occasion
ally stumbled upon in Wilmington.
Among these relics of early activity in
iron work here may be seen an old Cornish
engine with the stamp of Belts, Pusey &
Harlan at the City Pump mil, if it is not
already removed to make room for the new
Wethelall pump. A merchant on Market
street also has in his possession and daily
use an ant que nail rake made hy Achilles
Hollingsworth at time antedating even
that of the establishment of the Harlan &
dollingswolth's predecessors, Belts, Pusey
& Harlan Company.

Muscular Tramps.

Last week while passing the corner OF
Third aud Shipley streets the writer was ac-
costed by one of trio Of muscular ioafers,
who, disheveled, d-nosed, begrimed, whs-
key.flavored, and otherwise unbeautiful,
pressed his confidence with more than usual
importantly and familiarity. With the ele-
giant nonchalance of his class he condescen-
dinghy suggested the douceur of nickel,
and lightly depIecating an apparent hesita-
tion on the part of The person addressed
whom he judiciously styled ''pard, y protest.
ed in regard to the highly commendable pur-
pose to which he proposed applying the
problematic penny.
His responsiveness however was more i'm
pressive than his protestations. This lack
of symmetry in the mans tout assemble de-
cided his fate, or that Of his mission, ad-
versrly.
While this interesting interview was 60
ing on an elderly wcmau, bent and tuttering
with the heavy weight of some two or three
dozen hand baskets, inter-strung on either
arm and almost ecipsng the view Of a re-
freshngly clean and tidy person, passed us.
Her neatly patched shoes and white hose
showed beneath the skimpy skirt. The
pretty woven baskets which she was evil
IDENTIFY pedding from house to house in or
der to earn her frugal support were as bright
and clean and attractive as the pleasing i'm
preston made by her personal appearance.
One glance was enongh. The lesson of
contrast was taught. There, an industrious
thrifty old lady of eighty ysars(she was that
old in appearance) who yet in her late day
of life kept sacred to herself the noble pre-
cept of self reliance, independence, and self
support. What gallant inspiring sight
Possibly all friends, relatives, and means
gone, but not thought of surrender. How
increasingly conteml tible the former picture
that of the brawny, lusty, shameless, whskey
drinking young men who dishonorably ask,
or claim the right to aid, or in other words,
a sha,c in the hard earned wages of their
fellow men.
Whskey surely is terrible curse upon
our community. 1t emasculates, deprivcs
its victims of all ambition, and worse than
all steals IRON them the ability to perceive
their own false position, aud leaves them il
the lowest grade OF moral brutishness,

The State Campaign of 1886.

The State Campaign of 1856.
The innocuous desuetude which has mark
ed the State Campaign of 1886 is without a
parallel within the memory of the Oldest in
habitant
Although on the very eve of the election
there is an entire absence of enthusiasm. The
entire canvass has been of the most dispirit-
ed type. A wholesale apathy has swept over
the masses and the eloquence of the patty
leaders has been unequal to overcome the
political inertia. Lukewarmness has given
place to distrust and to disgust and unless the
signs of the times are at fault respectable
number will allow the election to go by de-
fault.
1t is coufessedy true that most grievous
wrong has been perpetrated in the name Of
popular sovereignty by Democratic ballot box
suffers at the primary elections-it cannot
be gainsayed that election officers have
defed the will of the people and decided the
result either according to their vagaries or
by the size of the proffered boodle-wth
such smirched party record can it be sur
prise that the honest masses refuse to en-
tEuse.
The glaring and daring outrages perpetrat-
ed at the sheriffalty nomination appalled, the
honest Democratic voter and the returns as
they showed up in the third and tenth wards
indicated very plainly that the tin cans and
goats of said wards hao a voice in the nomi-
nation, for the votes returned were out Of all
proportion to men, women and children in
those wards.
Although the returns of third and tenth
wares were properly repudiated by the re-
turning board yet the effect was demoraliz
ing and disintegrating upon the Democratic
party.
The personal animosities engendered by
the gubernatorial contest were bitter and
deep and although the sores may be healed
yet ugly scars remain-these things lave di-
vided the Democracy in the State of Della
ware.
The wholesale debauchery practised at
the primaries must be stopped by legislative
enactment or the Democracy of this State
will be hopelessly disrupted. Whatever
may be the preferences of the indiyi-
dual all recognize the fact that ''the voice of
the people is the voice Of God"
Nominations must nominate-elections
must elect and if the Democracy cannot be
made to comprehend this all important fact
then refuge will be had under new party
affiliations.
The success Of the Democratic patty will
he will largely attributable to the defective
organization Of the opposition. Democratic
Indifference will be met by want Of cohe-
sion OF the opposing forces.
Had the temperance party made an ag-
gressive campaign with an organized head it
would have injected a decided feeling of un-
Gel taiuty concerning the result in the COM
ing issue, but the new party has been run
in a very narrow groove and the temperance
party is virtually dead in the doorway Of its
birth, and upon its infant tomb will be in
scribed 'strangled to death by Red Ribbon" ?"

THE sHERIFFALITY.

Amid the multitudinous expressions of
opinion concerning the result of the coming
County and State election it is universally
conceded that Giles Lambson Esq will be
the successor of Sheriff Fod.
There is no valid reason why any self-re-
spe:ting Democrat should vote against Mr..
Lambson. While there may be slight de-
fecton in the Third and Tenth wards yet this
will be overwhelmingly counterbalanced by
the support which will come to Mr. Lamb
son from his personal following in the Re
publican ranks.
There are few, if any instances on record
where candidate for the prominent Office
referred to has received such al-rouud err
dorsement. Mr.. Lqmhson may well feel
great qualification over this fact. lie has
the valuable endorsement OF New Castle bar
also. Lawyers of both political par ties are
unanimous upon his success, they feel that
in his election the legal business of the
county will be properly cared for
1t is incumbent upon Mr. Lambsons S
friends, however, under all circumstances, to
maintain the utmost diligence. Eternal dill
gence alone is the price of success, no mat
ter how rosy or gilded the prospects may
look. With the usual careful foresight duly
kept up there is no reason whatever why the
majority of Giles Lambson should not even
