THE prospect of Delaware College
was never brighter. Heretofore the
institution has labored under vari-
Gus disadvantages, not the least
among them being lack of finan-
cial support. Now that II yearly
appropriation of $4,000 is settled,
something definite can be accom-
plished. Already director Of the
experimental station has been select
ed in the person of Prof. George D.
Purinton, A. NJ, of the University
of Missouri. He will also occupy
the chair of Agriculture in the Col
lege. Immediate steps will be
taken to erect a labratory on the
college property, and when fully
equipped will cost something like
$4,000. Now, for the selection Of
Il president for Delaware College.
The committee having the matter
in charge are eminently qualified
for the important work. What Il
grand thing it will be to see in the
near future fully Il hundred students
in attendance. This will be Il fact
if the right man is placed at the
head of institution. The committee,
it is believed, have as good as made
a choice in gentleman whose
ability has proven him to be just
what is most peeded in every re-
spect.

TRICKS.

1t is pretended that it is verv
wron:sto indulge in any tricks in
PF65iitics. That politics should be
carried on in perfectly gentle
manly manner, and nothing but the
most heightened straightforward
ness should be INDUCED in. There
is a "H eathen Chince" blandness
about this, that exciies the most
intense admiration. For instance.
was it not n trick to circulate the
report that Capt. Holmes shook
h Fl t in the face of Judge Scale,
for the benefit of the 1st ward; tina,
the schools were going to be closed
n month sooner than usual because
Captain Holmes said he would not
make any more settlements with
the Parish Treasurer until after
election, for the benefit of the 7th
ward; that he had made a combi-
nation with Morey, for the bencfi,
of tlSparish generally; that he had
declared for Nichols, and hun.
dIed and one other reports equally
without foundation Was it not a
trick to signers to the club lists,
and then claim it as an endorse
ment of Mr.. Mcclellan? Was it
not trick to quietly get Mr.. Scott
Belts removed as returning officer,
against whom not single undem-
Dcratic act could be truthfullv
charged. Was il No,
'trick tOgc: circulate around that
Captain Holmes was not n demo- !
'rat; And the only one of these |
ricks that was a legitimate trick
vas the returning officer business. /
false reports are not exactly high /
oned, but TO get an opponent out
nd supporter in, is according to
iunter. Butt is folly to object to
ricks, they always have been
racticed and always will be.

THE DISTRICT CONVENTION.

The District Convention has been
held. and there are two District
tickets in the field. The Madison
delegation published long ex
PLANTATION of the aifair-and it did
require n good deal of length to ex-
plain. Life is too short to struggle
with such a long winded explana-
ton, but a few of the most glaring
assertions may be mentioned.
"John b. Stone member of the
now defunct District Executive
Committee" The District Exec
utivc Committee now consists OF
Messrs. Stone, Gilfoil, Kennedy,
Buckner, (Col. Jno. A and Black
burn, and defunct is not quite the
word.
"To arrive at such apportion-
ment for East Carroll, CT votes)
it was necessary to take as the
basis the combined vote of Mem
cry and Stevenson" The call ex.
pressiy states that the basis was
made on the highest vote cast for
either Of the District officers.
Even the Carroll delegates = =
could not maintain that it (the ap-
portionmentJ was fair, and found
inexcusable its paltable unfair
ness" Far from this being the
case, they did maintain it, and re-
appointed the same Executive Com
mittcc with two new members add
ed.
1t (the apportionmenD was I'M
fair "becausc that at the last State
election East Carroll went Repub-
lican by majority Of several hun
bred, while the parish of Madison
went Democratic" Yet both
parishes had the same representa-
ton allowed in the Sac Con-
vention. Something wrong here.
"Besidcs said apportionment is
not based upon a strict party vote,
as is required by all Democratic
usage" How about the Congress
sional basis when the vote WIS,
Blaine, Logan and King.
"and on motion the caucus ad-
journed. We then proceeded to
the Convention" Oh, no!
the other and regular Convention
had organized and adjourned, be-
'ore your alleged convention organ
zcd.
But what is the use of talking &?
The Madison delegation did what
hey expected to do when they left
home, and the result is two tickets.
The fact of the two tickets is indis-
1utable.
