say, admitted that John T. Dickey was
an honest man and true Democrat.
We pointed out the inconsistency Of
the position and the exaggeration of the
statenent only to become the target for
absurd and untruthful remarks (ths
foolishness and the falsity Of which
might have been ascertained by tho
slightest investigation showing how
little dependence can be placsd upon any
other statement the New Era makes
Even II any those statements were
true, they would not affect the matter
under discussion-thst Governor Rey-
nolds had made mistake which would
cost the Democratic party 500 or 800
votes If the editor of the EVENING
JOURNAL had been rejected by fifty Re-
publican clubs. the editor of the New
Era would not appear in any more
envlable light or in any less curious pre-
dicamsnt his paper would have been
just as unreliable. and his breach of.good
manners just as inexcusable.
We kindly advise the editor Of the
New Era, who is not really an unresson-
able man, to do ais work more carefully
and preserve a sweeter temper.
The comments made on statements In
his paper we're not intended as personal
comments on him, hence it is Irrelevant
TO reply with personal comments, liable.
like the above, to make him appear not
only malicious. but contemplate.
It is perhaps unnecessary to say that
the editor Of tho EVENING JOURNAL
would very likely be rejected by the
Young Mems Republican Club II he were
to apply for membership. But he has
not been "blsck -balled;" he never ap-
piled for membership and is not likely to
apply unless the millennium comes sooner
than we anticipate.
Enlarging upon this subject there is a
sentiment quite prevalent here that men
must be attacked personally, for their
opinions, their political policy and their
utterances in newspapers.
Now, as in the cases cited if the state
ments were not so untruthful and mali
cious as to appear ridiculous to a
degree of absurdity. they might do harm.
Surely the editor Of the New Era had no
idea OF doing a personal injury and yet
why should a sane man have written as
stated concerning Governor Reynolds and
the editor Of the EyENINo JOURNAL? The
Lord only knows except perhaps he es-
teemed it necessary to prove that he is
neither sane nor just.
Il is very likely that the editor of the
New Era is both sane aud just, however
appearances may point to the contrary

IT strikes us that the merchants on
Market street have just grounds for
complaint against the action of the
Water Department for prohibiting the
sprinkllng of streets during the day
These commissioners have won the
esteem of all classes of citizens by the
manner in which they have heretofore
performed their duty, but a desire to
economize for the benefit Of the public
should not prompt the making OF rule
that would initiate against so reputable
and SO worthy class as our Market
street merchants. We do hope that the
complaints OF the Wilmington City
Railway Company was not the reason
why this rule was made. This company
should attend to It's own interest here as
similar companies do elsewhere It is
scarcely possible we thnk that the
Water Department has yielded Co selfish
advice Of capitalists. Yet this is freely
charged by the merchants of Market

CORRUPTION srILL RAMPANT.

When we drew the odlous comparison
OF the genteel manner in which the
Democrats had put perfectly genteel
ticket In the field the News was very
much offended and made unsuccessful
and ill-advised efforts to prove that the
Republican ticket was fairly and honestly
nominated.
The News is a mincing, poke-b bon
neted, Miss Nancy politician who holds
up her skirts in dry weather and carries q
sunshade when it is cloudy. The News
knows nothing about local politics, hence
it very soon found its mistake in con
tending from an inner consciousness
rather than from facts that the Republi-
can primary was either respectfully OF
fairly conducted and dropped that con
tentIon. Now it has taken another tack
thus:
To exchange such ticket as the Re
publicRns have put up, after fair and
square contest, In which the odds were
against the winning men, for one that
sprung from the same loins which gener-
ated all the praises Of ex Speaker Dona
hoe and which is now looking TO a combi-
nation among Dickey and Donahoe and
Norton-as our contemporary pitifully
complained yesterday-to pull Il through,
is omething that good citizens would
not think of doing, and some
thing that no honorable Republi-
can, who believes that the growth Of his
party is for the bent interests OF the
state, will permit himself to enga &c in.
That is just where the News is wrong.
The honorable Republicans" are ths
ones who object to Wiley, not person
ally, but for the money he spent and th,
beer that was furnished to beat Baynard
How could stranger have beater
Baynsrd otherwisef
Then there is the fact staring tn,
honorable Republican" in the face tha
Wiley has to beg Bach, MahafTy, Saville
Colquhoun and their coadjutors to con.
duct his canvass and expend the money
A semi respectable ticket is all YER,
well, but the conduct Of Mr.. Wiley
nominating canvass is ample pooof tha
the corruption element is still on top Il
the Republican p6rty-and that throug
Wiley is nominated the other fellow
will control the campaign.
