"one of my friends is very earnest,

how TO do the best thing at the right time,
One day he was passing gin-shop in Man

can be best offset, and the sentiment Of the
Democrats of Wilmington in endorsement
of MIR. Cleveland and the national reforms
he stands for the best emphasized. under the
| circumstances, by rolling up as large ma
jorlty as possible for the excellent candidate
whose name stands second on the city ticket
John c. Farra, the Democratic nominee
for President of Council. The united and
generous support of the party given to Mr..
Farra will not only assure us competent
and tried official, but will convince the
reasonable people of other communities that
vote against Chief Dougherty does n OF
mean a vote against Cleveland or tariff re-
form, and is not inconsistent in the slightest
degree with that plank of the platform
unanimously endorsed by the Demo ,rats OF
Delaware in State Convention at Dover last
week which reads:
That the most earnest support and most
unfagging loyalty are due President Cleve-
land from the Democrats of the United
States, for his vigor in opposition to the
trusts and nonopolies which have grown up
under the high protective policy inaugurated
by the Republican party, and also for the in
creasing interest he has manifested in the
general welfare of the people, and that we
favor his denomination.
The Sunday Star says:
The Norton men OH the police force COM
plain that they did not have "fair shake"
during the nomination. One charge is that
Officer Welch arrested man named Collins,
at the Third ward polls, for voting illegally,
but that Officers Brickle and Russell took
the man from Officer Welch's custody, and
let him go free because he happened to be a
Dougherty man.
The charge is made by police officer that
telephone OF ders for tax receipts were re-
ceived at police headquarters yesterday and
that Special Officer Stoor was sent to the
tax Office for them, and returning delivered
them to the parties who were waiting in a
buggy in front Of the Hall to receive them.
During the afternoon it was found neces-
sary to use the phone quiet frequently, and
the number of tax receipts sent out in this
manner is estimated to reach into the hun
dreds.
Rumors follow the nomination thick and
fast, but the bulk of them are to the effect
that Dougherty cannot be elected, and that
Republican administration will speedily
follow the Democratic administration Of
1888.

The mistakes of one party in making bad
nominations often leads the other to be sure
that good men are put to the front in the

Poor and idle as he was, he had been

Some of the ladies had disappeared,
and came back now with a valise

There was even a present for Marie
and the bambino at home. The child,
flushed and sparkling, bowed to them

CHEAP LAND.
The above prices, when all factors in
the problem are considered are cheap
enough. But these are really among the
choicest and highest priced lands offered
in this section. There is an abundant
supply of excellent alfalfa lands in the
county to be had in parcels to suit and
on the easiest of terms at from 500 to
$3.50 per acre. One dealer says of his
lands:
"They are deep, rich, sandy loan,
very easy to cultivate. They are watered
perfectly by natural eubirrigation, with
out cost and without labor. Fruits and
vegetables grown with natural subirriga-
ton are of the finest flavor and command
the highest prices. Over 600 acres of
orchards have been planted by the pur-
chasers of these lands the past season
and all are growing finely; these fruits
consist OF apples, peaches, pears,
prunes, figs, plums, cherries, per-
simmons, raisin and table grapes, lo-
quats, ounces, apricots, English wal
nuts, chestnuts and olives. Most of
these fruits bear sufficiently the third
year to defray expenses of cultivation,
and by the fifln or sixth year return $500
to $500 profit per acre annually. These
lands, under good management, will be
worth 81 600 to 81 500 per acre as soon
an they come into full bearing. Ten
acres OF these lands in bearing fruits will
produce better income than 16O-acre
farm east of the Rocky Mountains. They
are within ten miles Of Los Angeles by
rail or by fine carriage road.
These are offered at 81 65 per acre, one
fourth cash, the balance in one, two and
three years, at per cent. These are
suitable for the growth of citrus fruit.
