The DelGWaredn sulks in it tent; it
has taken the county ticket from the
head of its column where the demo-
cratic ticket has always had lodg
ment, and laid it away without word,
as if it would give it a silent sepulture.
This is a new kick for so loyal a paper
to democracy as the DeIGwarean, and
of course causes some gossip in and out
of Family circles. 1t is true the
organ at the capitol had no put in its
construction any more than if its sup
porters had belonged to an opposite
political faith, but the editor never
theless placed it there because it was
"called Democratic" he said, and be-
cause it was customary. Having put
it there one week and then hauled it
down, has the smack of mutiny but
we will have to wait. Except in name
it Is In no sense the DeJdWGredn's
ticket, unless it takes to its bosom ar
antagonism, which is a hard thing fol
any one to do not claiming to be gov
erned by grace, and to this the editoi
acknowledges himself to be a stranger
The objective points in the Legislative
tickets-the senatorship-is not il
danger while the party is secure in tn
two other counties, and this being SC
the DeIawarean may balk or even kicl
off breech strap, without being felt a
the Federal end of the line.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND sent out his
letter of acceptance on Monday,
ninety-six days after his nomination at
St. Louis. 1t is prepared with great
deal Of care, and will of course have
that respectful reading which its high
source entities it to. 1t occupies from
three to four columns in tie daily
papers, far exceeding in length any
former letter of the kind. The Phila-
delphia Ledger after expressing con-
demnation of such long letters says:
'After examining the document with
some care, we fail to find in it any
thing to explain why he devoted so
much time to its preparation, or, if that
is not the right way to say it, why he
held back its publication so long. Ger
tainly there is no evidence in it that he
desires to hedge upon the tariff de.
liverance in his message Of last Decem.
ber On the contrary, he decidedly
reafiirms what he then said on that
subject, fallacies, unwarranted alarms
and all. We are strongly tempted tC
60 into discussion of some of these
but do not regard it as at all necessary
for, to put it as gentle and courteously
as we know how, there is no new
thing in the epistle at all. The lettel

THE campaign in this State may be
said to have commenced with the nom
ination of the Democratic ticket in
New Castle county, on Saturday the
third and last, if such a thing can be
called a campaign where politics is so
Onesided as in Delaware. Where a
machine is so set as to make nOmina-
ton equivalent to an election, it has
some of the characteristics of mis-
nomer to denominate it a campaign.

pletely, the tree trade falsehood con-
corning the cheapness Of English cloth
ing aud dry goods, compared with the
current prices in this country. He
says: $50 far as clothing and dry
goods in general arc concerned, | find
cotton goods fully as cheap in rhe Uni
ted States as here. Shirtings and
sheetinss, If anything, are superior in
quality for the same price. Articles of
underwear for women are superior in
workmanship and cheaper in the Unit
ed States. Nor are mems shirts, when
chiefly of cotton, any cheaper here.
OF boots and shoes, factory-made.
the same may be said. Articles made
to order are cheaper in England owing
to the lower prices of hand labor, but
the difference in prices of ready-nade
things is not so marked. In workman
ship and finish find the correspond
ing articles of wholesale manufacture
superior in the United States. This is
true of clothing as well as of collars,
cuffs and like articles. The cheapest
thing in England is labor. That h
from 80 to 100 per cent lower than il
the United States. If we want to en-
ter into competition with England or
that basis all we have to do Is to adop
