LODGE VS.. SHAW.
A Menber of The Executive couamittee
Gives Some Reason

A member Of the Democratic Executive
Committee for New Castle county. in
coversation with an EVENING JOURNAL
reporter made this explanation of the
reasc MS why the nomination for the Leg
islature, from Brandywine hundred was
given to Lodge,
There was, said he, mo precedent
for a tie vote in nomination election.
Had the case come to the committee I'M
represented by either side, simply the
returns from the election judges, the
committee would have remanded the
matter back to the people for want of
authority on the part of the committee
TO act. This action would have TO be
taken because the party rules did not pre-
scribe any relief for tie vote in nomina-
tions But Mr. Shaw, through
Mr. Vandegrift relieved the committee
Of their embarrassing position, by insti-
tuting contested election case He
claimed that there was an election, and
attempted to base his claims to the cleo
ton, on the ground that there was a
double ballot voted for him, which was
thrown out by the judges, but which he
insisted should be counted for him.
'The contest which was thus instituted,
brought the matter under rule five Of the
party rules, by which the committee were
to decide. This rule provides, that in
case Of contested nomination the county
committee shall decide the same by ma
iority vote Of the whole committee.
Mr.. Vandegrift, on the behalf Of Mr..
Shaw, opened the case by claiming that
as there was no party rnle governing tie
votes, and nothing in the primary cleo
tisn law bearing on the same, the com
mittee would have to adopt the nearest
state law which could be applied by
analogy The nearest state law which is
on page 113 Of the Revised Code provides
that when two or more persons
shall have an equal, and at the same
time the highest number Of votes, the
presiding officer shall give the casting
vote. This was acceded to by Mr.. Sauls-
bury, who represented Mr. Lodge The
case was referred back to the Judges of
election, and they gave the deciding vote
in favor of Mr.. Lodge. Tho COMMITTEES
accepted the returns and declared Mr.
Lodge nominated"

BY letter to EVENING JOURNAL
CAMDEN, Del, Sept. 14-The Camden
and Milford clubs met on the Camden
grounds yesterday afternoon and played
very interesting game. Smith and
Rooms, Camdens home battery, were too
much for the visitors, although Stechter
and Demorest, their battery, did good
work. There were errors on both Sides
but there was also some excellent plays
made by both sides. Two very difficult
running iiy-catches by Hollis Milford 5
centre fielder, were the features Of the
game. This is only the third game Hollis
has played, and the indications are that
he will make a player Satterheld Of
Milford, il is said, has never been able to
hit ball in any game he played before,
but he found Smiths curves yesterday.
Stechter struck out 10 men, and Smith 0.
There were plenty of passed balls on each
side. The score was:

this would be the case Democrats will
never sacrifice their principles and long
settled convictions to mere personal ami
mosities The advantages of Democratic
supremacy in this state have been too
strongly emphasized by experience for
men of that political faith to surrender
control Of the State or county to a party
which they have been combating during
the greater part Of their lives. To do So
would be fiat contradiction OF their past
professions and belittling their manhood
and selfrespect. No Democrat will place
himself IN such position Not only the
good opinion OF his neighbors. but the

active conscience will stimulate him in

Philadelphia Times.
The campaign liar seems to be TO the
fore in this campaign as usual, and is ply
ing his disgraceful vocation for both par
ties
About his first exploit in the contest
was his declaration that General Har
rison had publicly said in 1887 that "a
dollar day was enough wages for any
worlingman or course, General Har
rison never said so, nor anything Of the
sort, but the campaign liar repeats il
every day in organ and speech, and ii is
found on campaign slips and cards circu
lated among voters.
The campaign liar on the other side
quotes President Cleveland as saying II
believe in free trade. as ! believe in The
Protestant religion this wholly false
utteranee imputed to Cleveland has hith
erto been confined TO the common cam
paign liar but the New York Tariff League
Bulletin has taken il up and attempts
70 give it credence by asserting that il
was repeated by Mr. Mcclure as cor
rect utterance from the President. Thai
statement is wholly false and tho Bulle
tin owes IL to common honesty TO cor
rect it. 1t is also absolutely false that
Mr. Cassidy ever so qnoted Cleveland, ol
that he ever heard any such utteranc,
from him. In short, the whole thing j.
the silly invention Of the campaign liar
General Harrison is quoted every day
by organs: orators and campaign cardi
and slips as fayoring the free admission
of Chinese cheap labor to compete witt
our American labor General Harrison
never did anything Of the kind. He votet
| against an anti Chinese bill in the Senst,
because it was in direct conflict with oui
solemn treaty with China, and Presi
ident Arthur vetoed the bill on the sami
grounds. Only the campaign liar can de
clare that Harrison favors the free i'm
portation Of Chinese labor, and the false
hood should be left to the campaign Lin
alone for circulation.
