The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1892-08-15

On Saturday was very quietly conduct
ID considering the number OF candi- !
dates and the Importance of the offices
Tor which they were candidates. In
some districts both In the city and the
suburban hundreds a large vote was
polled and In others not more than
the usual amount otinterest was mali
Tested. The nomination resulted in
favor OF Joseph E. Martin for Receiver
OF Taxes and County Treasurer and
Henry G. Conrad, Esq, for County
Comptroller by such large majorities
that no reasonable objection can be-
made to their nomination.
For Levy Court Commissioners Il.
Lewis Armstrong has succeeded by a
small plurality in the First district.
John j. Gallagher by large majority
In the Second district, and John E.
Taylor by clever plurality in the
Fourth district with the exception
OF one Senator and seven representa-
tlves to tine Legislature the nomina-
lions ON Saturday completes the Re
publican ticket no far ne New Castle
County is concerned.
The ticket is strong one with tho
people, and will no doubt be farther
strengthened with the additions yet
to be made to 1t. In every respect
the Republican ticket nominated is
superior to the Democratic ticket.
Commencing with sheriff the Repub-
Iicaus put PIERCE Gould against
lanes J. Toner. Who but the most
,xtreme partisans will not say the
duties Of the ofli.e OF sheriff will lie
.hs better performed by Peirce Gould,
Tor reasons which we cannot refer TO
now.
For Coroner the Repub licans have
nominated George W. jackson, and
opposed to him is Joseph II. Kirk. the
defeated candidate OF two years ago.
Mr.. jackson will perform the duties oil
his office Mt least "a well and faithfully
rs Mr.. Kirk. 1t cannot be denied that
there is strong popular feeling II
favor of Mr. Jackson on account OF
previous defeats and the Eindllness OF
his disposition that has made him tile
friend of lost children.
For Receiver of Taxes and County
Treasurer tile Republicans have looked
the field over nnd have concluded by
very large plurality that Joseph L
Martin is the man to put against JOIN
L. Dickey the Democratic nominee
He brings both character and ability
to the position and IL is difficult to soc
how anybody but the most extren,
partisans who have no regard for polit
Ioal fairness and honesty, should pre-
fer John I. Dlokey to Joseph Z. Mai
tin.
For County Comptroller the Repub
Leans have selected Henry G. Conrad
Esq, as the competitor OF John +
6taats, the Democratic nominee an
the present occupant OF the Office
All voters. whether Republicans o
d mocrats should be pleased that sue
a capital selection has been made, u
Mr.. Stats Is one of the candidate
upon the Democratic ticket agnins
whom nothing can be said either {
regards his character or his ability
On the Democratic ticket he is the on
star that shines out with more bfilliaI
oy than any other star, But the Il
publicans match him fullyiu the nom
nation Of Henry c, Conrad. Whatev,
can be claimed for Mr. Staats, NJ
Conrad Possesses with the additions
advantage of bringing to the office
Fipe knowledge OF law which will sery
himself and tho county q good pu
pose when intricate questions arise.
In the first Levy Court district
Lewis Armstrong seems to have ca
ried of the honorS OF the nominatiu
for Levy Court Commissioner agair
such strong Candidates as the prrse
incumbent, Richard G.. Buckingham
william Green and Edward Woo
ward. The democrats will not
able to match him in any respect.
In the Second district john J. Gail
CHER who was counted out of tho {
fee four years ago, hal such stroi
claim upon the nomination that
was successful by a very large maio
ty. Mr.. Gallagher is strong in CHI
scter and ability and lie and Mr. Ar
str. ng will make q pair Of Republic
inyincibles in the Levy Court. VII
ever his Democratic opponent will
will be showed unler by anywhe
from 1000 70 5000 majority.
In the Fourth district, John T. TT
Tor is the successful nomiuoe by
good plurality. That H. should Ia
succeeded over such strong comp,
tors as James Hance and James
Clark the latter present member
an evidence of his pop ilartty a
standing In the community, On ,
Taylol'5 election will depend the
litical character OF the next l.,
Court commissioners.
Tie only way to keep the cour
from lapsing buck under the domI
ton OF Bickey Neary and Wier is
sleet Mr.. Taylor We do not hell
the people OF New Castle county "
any more Democratic ring rule
therefore We confidently LOOK for
election Of MIR Taylor in the Eor
district,
Let Republicans now that these

Ing victory.
TUE defeated candidates OF
Saturday Will SNOW Their LOYALTY
