leave a bitterness tenfold more poison
GUS and repulsive than the dregs in the
cup of mere personal defeat. The pre-
judice that would beguile Democrats
from the old paths in which their faith
ers trod would seize the moment of
such triumph to laugh at the stupid
ity of its victims and mock at the dis
tress of their unenviable situation"
These kind words of the Inder are
thus answered by one of the opposite
faction living in Dover, communicated
to the EUening Journal, of Wilmington: {:
1t amt the feeling engendered pre-
vious to the late primaries that's doing
the work. remarked a man who has
for years been high in the councils of
not only the county, but the state
Democracy as well, but it's the feeling
engendered by the outrage perpetrated
at the county convention, that is not
only stirring the opposition up, but
worrying the men who perpetrated it
as well. Victory obtained at the cost
of principles can bear no good fruit,
but will turn to ashes, ETC., says Mr..
WOlcott in his editorial, and he never
wrote truer sentence, and no man or
no set of men can testify of it better
than he and his followers. Did they
not, at the cost of every principle the
Democracy of Kent county hold dear,
obtain a legislative and Levy Court
ticket as well as a county committee at
the late convention? And is it not
turning to ashes, as they term it? OF
course it is but the ashes are not all
turned up yet. You wait till the sixth
of November next and you'll see them
climbing out from under a pile of these
ashes; wondering what in the thunder
struck them.
If the ill-feeling is dying out, as
the Dover Inder states in that editorial
which reads as though it had been
written for Mispillion Sunday School
address, and then changed to a politi-
cal hOmily,' continued the irate gentle
man, what is the reason that Fenni-
more, the candidate for sheriff, has
trice sent in word to the headquarters
here that something must be done OF
We'll lose the county?
Why, you're not going to slaugh.
FennimOre too, are yOu,' queried the
EUenjng Journal representative. He
was nominated square enough, wasn1
he p
"Well, under ordinary circumstance
Fennimore would be all right replied
he, but the fraud in the other part o
the ticket vitiates the whole, ant
they've all got to go down together
Smyrna times., 1888-09-19

The Dover Inder, the organ of the
Anti-Saulsbury faction, is in a very
pacific mood since the result of the
primary election. It's words are soft
and gentle and its counsels those of
harmony. Those to whom TIE unit
rule was applied are patted gently on
the shoulder and affectionately remind
ed that Democrats will never sacrifice
their principles and long-settled con-
victions to mere personal animosities.'' .
It says:
Men in the heat Of passion often
make declarations which they after
wards bemoan in the language Of deem
and bitter regret. Upon the return of
the second sober thought they discover
the folly Of their action and hasten to
cancel the obligations growing out OF
such rash and imprudent vows. know
ing that bad promises are better
broken than kept. Such momentarv
forgetfuluess Of duty is but the result
Of weak and frail humanity, but tbe
return to its sublime and delightfui
service through the gentle call Of tbs
still small voice of reason is onlv ,
practical exhibition of the power of al
intelligent will backed BY live ant
energetic conscience.

End of the Peach Season.

The peach season is virtually over.
This means stopping of the basket
mills, the evapOrators, the canneries,
the passing to and fro of heavily laden
ed wagons, the departure of the peach
plucks and finally the cessation of large
returns to swell the bank accounts of
depOstors. 1t marks the ending of a
profitable peach year, though many
have failed to realize their expectations
because of the visitatiOns of the "yel-
lows" which really came in such a
way as to mark serious prophecy for
the future of the peach as a profitable
product, if it is not remedied.
The immense crop predicted by rail-
road authorities and those in the ship
ping interest, 100000 to 100000
baskets, has not been realized. The
amount shipped by rail will be but lit
tie rising 5000 cars or between 4,00O,-
600 and 100000 baskets. The amount
shipped by water and used in the can
neries and evapOratOrs may swell the
aggregate perhaps to something like
100000.
The weather throughout August was
favorable for the shippers but Septem-
Der, by the prOtracted rains, proved al.
most disastrous to the Smock, the last
of the heavy varieties, and which unit
the last three years, has been profit
able.
The general average of the crop ha.
been better than could have been ex
pected in the midst of the immense
estimates of May and June. 1t ha,
been from 80 to 40 cents a basket, net
some few who had excellent fruit anC
were lucky in hitting good marke
days reaching in the neighborhood o
| so cents a basket.
The amount of money that has com,
from the cities to enrich the growers o
the Peninsula is something owe
100000.
That it has been profitable year t.
the railroads, goes without saying.

OUR neighbor, the Record, in an edi-
tOrial rapping Ex-senator Wilson T.
Cavender and others over the knuckles
for writing about the late party un-
pleasantness to the Wilmington dailies,
thus states the position of the party
man:
There is but one of the two things
for him to do and that is TO submit to
the will of the majority of his own
party and act cordially with it, or tc
withdraw, join an opposing party and
act with it. Observe, we have said
withdraw and act with the opposing

THE much talked of charge of
freight determinations on the Della
ware railroad is to be Investigated to-
morrow at Dover. The Grangers have
been trying for nearly year past to
have the railroad authorities investi-
gated before the Interstate Commis-
sion, but for one reason or another,
mainly the unreadiness of the latter or
the lawyers, it has not been brought
about.

A romantic story comes from Castle
Garden. Among the passengers of the
steamer Hekla, which arrived Sunday.
were "a Swedish maidens, each of
whom carried a written contract to
the effect that, on arrival here, she
would be met by a man who would
marry her and furnish her with a COM
Portable home. This remarkable ar
rangement had been perfected through
matrimonial agency. There was
some doubt at first as to whether this
was not violation of the contract
labor law, but the girls whose ages
ranged from 10 to 25 years. were final
ly allowed to depart, and most of them
are by this time married.

THE Republicans of Delaware have
decided to nominate complete state and
county tickets, as they say, for the
purpose of maintaining their organiza-
ton. Primary elections were held on
Saturday in the respective counties to
select two sets of delegates. The first
will meet in Dover tomorrow to make
out the state ticket, and those for the
counties of Kent and Sussex, respec-
lively, one week later, to make out the
county tickets.
Smyrna times., 1888-09-19

ONE of our old politicians of the
dominant party says he has faith in the
adhesive power of party in carrying his
ticket in Kent county: that he has
often heard of broken pieces of glass
being stronger after they were cement
ed than they were before. He says
there is a wonderful cohesive power in
party, no matter who handles the wax.

IT is amusing to see how the letters
of the two Presidential candidates are
treated by the political papers. 1t is
very evident that the man who reads
only his party paper and believes it as
