REPUBLICAN, TICKETS.
The Democratic Convention.

Mr.. Harrity's convention yesterday car
ried out the programme laid down Tor IL
without hitch. Harmony was the order
of the day; in fact, the convention was
entirely passive in the hands OF its man
ager, and Mr.. Harrity's pretensions to be
the political boss of his party in Pennsyi-
vania were confirmed by the general ac-
ouiescence of all the clans and the COM
plete realization of all his wishes.
The candidates nominated are OF the
regulation order There is no very strong
reason why every Democrat should not
vote for them and no reason at all why any
Republican should. 1t has not been
customary even in Democratic conventions
to nominate any man so obscure as A. l..
Tilden for such responsible Office as state
Treasurer. But Mr.. Harrity wants to
have his clerk control the Treasury, and
complaisant convention deferred to his
wishes. On its personal side the ticket is
weak compared with that of the Republi-
cans. If the issue were to turn simply on
the choice Of men, the Democrats would
20 home and think no more Of electing
their ticket.
But Mr.. Harrity, if he can help it, Will
not allow the mere question or the relative
worth of candidates to determine this
election. He thinks he has better issue
in John Bardsley. The platform is terse
and non -commital on the controlling is
sues of the day, but is elaborate and elo
quent on the subject of John Bardsley Ii
arraigns him almost as severely as District
Attorney Graham did weeks ago 1t con-
demns him almost as strongly as did Judge
Wilson. The fact that a Grand Jury had
anticipated the convention in indicting
John Bardsley; that Councilmanic Com
mittee controlled by Republicans, and
with the aid of Republican Mayor. had
got together the evidence against him;
that Rep ublican District Attorney prose
euted him and Republican Judge sent
enced him, counted for nothing with this
convention. That the Republicans found
rascal among them and punished him
severely is supposed, some how or other,
to inure to the credit of the Democracy.
and they plume themselves accordingly.
The public will not be deceived. Party
connection is no test of personel honesty
The most that can be exacted of any party
that it repudiate and punish it's rascals
as soon as they are detected. This the
Republican party can be relied on to do,
and does do it much more promptly and
willingly than it's opponenthas been known
to in those States where the Democratic
party is the dominant power.-Philadel-

AT Harrisburg, last Thursday, the Dem
ocratic State convention, nominated R. E.
Wright, an attorney of Lehigh Co., for
Auditor General; and A. L. Tilden, lum-
Der dealer Of Erie Co. for State Treasurer.
The platform ignores National issues al
together, excepting to favor "a sound and
stable currency based in gold and silver,
coined and circulated in proportions as
will keep them in parity" in which it is
at variance with the Democratic platforms
of all the Southern and Western states,
and confines itself to arraigning and con-
demning the Republican party of the state
for its management of the state finances of
the state. the late alleged Republican leg
islature for various misdoings; and favors
q constitutional convention in the interest
of ballot reform "only."

IT is said that the success of the Chilian
insurgents has encouraged the disaffected
people of Mexico to plan the overthrow of
President Diaz.
The charges that he had initiated Balma-
ceda and deserves the fate of the Chilian
dictator, will hardly bear inspection. There
is no comparison between the two cases.
The extension of power which President
Diaz now possesses has not been seized as
Ralmaceds's was, in opposition to Con-
gress, but was brought about in orderly
and constitutional ways.
The governments of Latin America must
not be judged by the standard established
by this great English-speaking country.
Their people try to initiate the United
States as nearly as they can, but it is not
in them to make perfect copy. Mexico
has done better than an any other republic
and it is to be hoped that she will be per-
mitted to proceed unhindered by revolu-
tionary plotters.
The Mexican people have comparatively
little to complain Of in the matter of mis-
government, and under Diaz the country
has made made great strides forward

Railroad company,s Purchases.

Superintendent McCauseland, of the
Wilmington & Northern Railroad Com
pany, stated last Friday that the com
pany has not contemplated anything in
regard to the United States Hotel, which
it recently purchased. The company
he said, had rented passenger station
in the building for five years, and it
was deemed best to buy the property.
He also stated that nothing has been
contemplated in relation to Magarrity's
coal yard, which the company also
bought recently. There is rumor that
the hotel will be converted into large
passenger station for the use of the VIII
mington & Northern and Baltimore &
Ohio railroads, and that the roads will
use each others track on Water street,
thereby giving them double track road
in the city.

The Middletown Transcript says !:
Probably the largest yield of wheat in
this section is that of Mr.. Devine, near
Warwick. Mr.. Devine has finished
threshing with the following result !:
From 20 acres of fallow he threshed
1,130 bushels, an average of very nearly
SO bushels per acre. From 40 acres Of
stock ground and Ia acres of wheat
stubble he threshed 1870 bushels, an
average of more than 25 bushels per
acre. Some of the wheat was sent to the
mill where it weighed 62t pounds per
bushel. Mr.. Devine informs US that this
wheat was threshed by Albert Prices
new machine and is clean enough to
ship without tanning, and he believes
that 1t will over-run in weight enough
to increase the number of bushels at
least 100. If such is the case his yield
will be about $500 bushels from SO
acres, a general average of about 3ft
bushels per acre.

Mutes, Unprolltable Search.

Two mutes who have cigar store on
Sansom street near Eighth, Philadel-
phia, came to this city Friday in
search of a man who during a call at
their store had given his name as
John Kingdom and his address as
French street, Wilmington, and had
ordered a lot of goods. They brought
with them the goods the man had
ordered Failing to find their man they
accosted Coroner Sparks, who took them
to Detective Jones. The latter searched
the directory and looked for the indi-
vidual for whom the Philadelphians
were searching but could not find his
name in the directory and could not
find him. The mutes evidently were
imposed upon but fortunately they did
not let their supposed customer have
anything when they visited him.

he asserted, but the Seventh ward is
getting some. He thought the board
would have ample funds if it would stop
experimenting and mentioned as loca-
tions where experiments had been made,
Lancaster avenue and Ninth and Har-
rison streets. The pavement on Market
street, he asserted, cost $2.25 per square
yard and was put down two years ago,
but would not last two years more He
would like to see good streets, but he
disliked to see set of men experiment

not compulsory for any member to vote

voting nay.

reconvened and the ordinances, bear

by the president to be ordinances of the

Burglary ON Jefferson street.

The residence of James A. Conner,
last night week and articles, including
1909 Jefferson street, was broken into
jewelry, clothing, silverware and cut
lery, worth probably $3.50, were stolen.
Entrance was effected by prying open a
back door. The burglary was com
mitted during the absence of the family.
Mr.. Conner was down town and Mrs.
Conner was not in the city. The former
ascerlained what had occurred as soon
as he returned, and Immediately mott
fled the police authorities. If some
valuable silverware, which Mr.. Conner
thinks his wife sent away before she
went to the seashore, was carried off by
the burglars the loss will be much
greater. Two men, carrying large
bundles and seen trudging along the
Philadelphia pike during the evening,
are suspected of being the burglars.

|. N. Mills, special agent of the p, W. e.

Clayton Call:
u find from reports received in all di-
rections that the peaches are coming in
prematurely; this is occasioned according
To- the best growers by two causes
Ihere being no peaches last year the
circulio was not present this year to help
thin the immense crop set on the
trees, consequently the June drop this
year was very light, leaving more fruit on
the trees than they can possibly mature
The fruit being set thick the hot, moist
weather has caused rot and premature
peaches. In several orchards some of the
iirst blossoms on the trees were killed by
the late frosts and the second buds bios
ssoined and are becoming fruit, thus show
ing peaches nearly ripe and very green on
the same tree This will have very dis
astrous etfcct,no only on the present crop,
but on the trees. Such trees must neces-
sarily drop out Of our calculations another

the CITY'S DEPOSITS.
National Bank of Delaware Opposed to
Paying Interest.


There was rumor last Friday that
the National Bank of Delaware had de-
termined not to accept any of the city's
funds which City Council decided last
evening to deposit in the several national
banks. Henry G.. Banning, president
OF the National Bank Of Delaware, was
seen by representative of THE
GAZETTE and questioned about the
rumor.
While he would not admit there is
any truth in the report he made some
remarks relative to depositing the city's
funds. He said his bank is opposed to
paying interest on deposits; il cannot
afford to do that. The regulation
adopted by Council, he continued, state
that the rate of interest to be paid to the
city shall not be less than two per cent,
and there is no telling how high rate
the banks will bid in their efforts to
secure the city's deposits. In his opin-
ion it is unfair to pay the city interest
on Its funds; no bank has any more
right to pay interest on the deposits of
the city than it has on other deposits;
"what is fish for one is flesh for the
other"
He had been approached in regard to
signing the petition sent to Council,
asking that the city's deposits be dis
tributed among the different national
banks, but had declined.
