Reynolds. and that the delay cost the
state 100.
A reporter Of the EVENING JOURNAL

the bonds, and interviewed him. Mr..
Thomas was indignant that such charge
had been trumped up by his party
against Mr. Reynolds aud was pro.

you to join the Republican psrtyg When
the Republicans were in power In this
city, we had a debt of 81 900, 600. Again,
do you not know when they were In

people then became disgusted and placed
the Democrats in power again, and there

government than has Wilmington. Then
you had, too, Republican Levy Court
They piled up a debt Of $75, 900, and
were turned down by the votes of the
people. Then, instead OF toll bridge at
Market street and having to pay 80 ceuts

why, they had a collector In Pen

out Of $500 to $400 sheep tax.
The Democrats have so judiciously ad
ministered the almshouse lanos that the
new buildings will cost the county moth

everywhere existing in the state.
I'VE have two good men. our candi-
dates for governor and Congressman.
Bob Reynolds has such a hold on the
hearts OF our people that they are not
willing to part with him What shall /
say Of Causey, he will make an admirable
Representative and is good man. The
county ticket is the same. You can
trust those men, with your traditions
and your pocket books, and their hands
will remain clean.

Hong Wah, a Chinese laundryman,
who lives at No. I'll West Second street,
felt q longing for grapes last evening
Leaving behind his fiat iron, but retaining
his queue he went to the fruit stand Of
Andrew Cardinelli, a son of sunny Italy,
to satisfy his longing. There were Della
ware grapes, Tokay grapes. Niagara
grapes, and Catawba grapes, and the
Celestial knew not which were
the most palatable. The proof Of
the pudding is the tasting and
Hong Wah proceeded to put this proof
to practical test, by tasting the grapes
TO find out II they were sweet. This was
more than the hot blood of the Italian
could stand, his fist shot outwards catch
ing the laundryman over the eye and the
celestial was left stretched like a fish In
the gutter.
Hong Wah raised himself. ran with all
swiftness TO the City Hall snd made
his complaint to Officer Updike, saying:
she hit nae for tasting grape" The
officer accompanied him to Cardinelli's
stand, where the latter admitted having
hit the Chinaman for taking his grapes
He returned TO the City Hall, where
Turnkey Caldwell dressed his injuries.
he was directed to swear out warrant
against Cardinelli.
