Tho County Ticket.

The Democratic nomination election
on Saturday afternoon passed off very
creditably md tremendously, and the
result is accepted without, so far as we
know, any soreness or even suspicion of
unfairness. There was large vote
polled, but it was, according to all re-
ports that have reached EVERY EVEN
ING, an unusually clean one, and no.
body pretends to say that it was not
fairly and honestly counted and can
vassed. The contrast between this con-
test and the looseness, corruption and
disorder that SO VIGOROUSLY character
lied the Republican sheriffalty contest
in the city districts where the colored
vote was most conspicuous, was so
patent as to be remarked by every
reasonable observer. There was some
drunkenness; that is always 10 be ex-
pected on such occasions, but there was
an absence of the rioting that marked
the Republican primaries, and there
was so little evidence of repeating,
bribery or cheating, that they formed an
unimportant feature and had no con
ceivable effect ON the result We think
it entirely just to say that no primary
election i'll this county has been con
Quoted in more orderly and fair man
ner for many years.
Hence the ticket made on Saturday
comes before the voters with absolutely
no stain on its legitimacy. There are
many, of course, who would have pre-
ferred a different list of candidates, but
having been defeated in square con-
test, there will be general acquiescence
by all such in the duly ascertained
choice of the majority. Ex-Auditor
Stats has by mis- honorable record in
State and county iiduciary positions,
fairly earned the endorsement of his
fellow citizens for a second term; in his
case 1t is not too much to say that the
office is seeking the man and will, we
doubt not, be fortunate enough to secure
his triumphant election in November.
Mr.. Dickey, the nominee for county
treasurer and receiver of taxes, was
chosen without opposition and the fact
that he ran, SO far as the returns in
hand at this writing indicate, less than
200 behind the maximum vote polled,
indicates that his administration has been
quite satisfactory TO the Democrats of
New Castle county. The nominee for
sheriff, MIR. Toner, made bad break
some years ago, through intemperance
this not even his warmest friends
will attempt TO palliate or deny
but he has since, we are informed
lived temperate life and that his
old neighbors, those who have the
best opportunity to be fully informed in
the premises, are satitied with the genu.
ineness of his reformation and regard
him as having retrieved the past and
earned their confidence for the future i.
manifest from the ilattering vote given
his candidacy by his ellow-townsmen
Personally Mr.. Toner is very popular
with those who know him, not onl,
among Democrats but he has also many
warm friends among the Republicans
of this county. AS to Mr. Kirk, the
nominee for coroner, the fact of hi.
being twice successfully chosen for thai
office in the face Of stlong opposition
is sufficient earnest OF the favor il
which he is held by his party.

Remarkable among condolences was
the similarity of accidents TO eronauts
in two hemispheres on the same day.
On Sunday last Professor Charles
Waite made balloon ascent ut Toll
chester Beach, Md, intending to come
down as usual by parachute. But, in
stead of coming down as usual he came
down on the run, from height of 500
feet, through some failure of his para
chute to open properly. Waite was
fortunate enough to escape with few
bruises and terrible shaking up. He
is reported as saying that after leaving
the balloon consciousness deserted him
and he felt no shock when he struck
the earth. On the same day, in Berlin,
woman named Grossman made an
ascent, cut loose from her balloon at a
height Of 500 feet, and, through SINH
lar failure Of her parachute, came down
with rush and was instantly killed by
the fall. The moral would appear to be
that parachutes are not 10 be relied on
for Sunday performances.

Professor S. W. Durham, perhaps
the most famous among American
astronomers, has resigned the director.
ship of the Lick observatory to accent
the appointment Of clerk Of the United
States courts at Chicago. This reads
like strange thing for specialist with
an international reputation to do, but
possibly homesickness may explain il,
and there are facilities in Chicago for
Durham to continue, in his leisure
hours, the work Of discovery that made
him famous. lie began his star gazing
career ir that city and, as an amateur
provided with a telescope of only four
inches aperture, he laid the foundation
OF his reputation as the most successful
observer Of double stars the world has
ever produced. He cxcels in that keen
ness of trained vision that has made him
an authority in this field and the scope
Of his work is shown by every star
catalogue published III recent years.

Nearly oil the members of the original
Hill New York delegation to Chicago,
in response to inquiries from the World,
have announced their intention of sup
porting the nominee of tho national
convention, whoever he may be. Upon
which the Baltimore SIN says:
If these professions mean anything,
what becomes of the assertion that Cleye-
land cannot carry New York 2" The only
persons opposing him are the ''fuachineh
and its followers, and as these announce
that they will support him, aud he is sure
of the independent vote besides, he would
seem to be the man Of all others to carry

The report of the Ohio state board of
equalization of taxes indicates that the
home market" is not panning out there
much more successfully than in New
England. Manufactures have increased
and protectionist logic would require
the tiller of tho soil to be correspond
ingly enriched by the beneticent "home
market" thereby brought to his very
door. But the cold figures show that,
instead of'this, the value of farm lands
has fallen from 1854 100000 in 1880 to
$3.50, 100000 IN 1S90-a decline of
$1i5,o00,0O0l What is the matter with
the grand "home market that protec-
ton is not building up in Ohio?
