RICHMOND. Thursday. March .. is91
It's a pleasure to roam about the
Big Store now and note the new
beauties day by day coming in.
The great trade for which we cater
neceSsitates great buying, and il is
not too much to say that Richmond
never before showed as wide
range OF spring dress stufs as are
shown here now. Early and liberal
buying is the gratifying response to
our efforts. There are scores of
imported dress patterns here that
won't be duplicated this season, SO,
of course, there's an adequate rea-
son for the throngS.

The Republicans of Wilmington
did themselves proud on Saturday last
at the Municipal election. The hand
some majority given to the whole ticket
attested the fact that the people of
that City repudiated the infamous
actions Of the last Legislature. No
effort was spared to take from the
people all their rights. Everything
that could be done was done to stifle
the Republican vote. Probably by
this time our Democratic friends rea-
lize the fact that the Republicans are
all alive and very much alive. No
man can look at the results of the last
election and not come to the conelu-
sion that it is a fearful rebuke to the
high-handed infamy of the Democratic
party and its horde of politicians and
hangers-on who, Sin the name of the
dear people,, worked so faithfully at
Dover to stifie the manhood Of the
people. We wonder now if the Diekey,
Neary ard Callahan combination are
so very sure that the .'dear people" of
Wilmington were anxious for the
Police Commission Bill and various
other legislative Acts that this great
trio insisted upon the Solahs at Dover
passing for the benefit of the paople.

BISHOP CHARLES CLIFTON PENIcR,
agent of the Protestant Episcopal
Church Commission for work among
the colored people, has begun his work
and proposes to use all methods posi-
BILE to improve the condition of this
race. The aim is both spiritual and
educational. In the Bishops address
last Sunday in the Church of the
Messiah in Baltimore city, he gave
some startling statistics pointing out
the need of the greatest effort upon
the part Of all Christians to save this
people from their drift toward crime.
The Bishop said 81 was reared among
these people and they were not q VIC
1ous race. / never saw drunken slave
and but one murdererduriDg the twenty
one years of my life before the war.
While men slept tares Of blood have
been sown and their condition grows
rapidly worse. The need is character,
christian character, Jesus Christ a liv-
ing reality in each heart. This and
nothing else will saye.n Bishop PEN
lex is a native Virginian ami is well
calculated to lead this large and in
fuential body of christians on the right
lines for the uplifting Of their people.

ONE of our subscribers very kindly
calls our attention to an oversight
which ought not to have been made by
the TRANSCRIPT but which was, in
that we had not mentioned the record
made BY Senator McMullen in the last
Legislature. The TRANSCRIPT here
with extends its apology to the Sena-
tor, and we say that We are, withother
Republicans, proud Of the record made
by him in that Session. Honest as the
day is long, staunch Republican,
answering in his convictions Of the
right, st. Georges Hundred may well
point with pride to the record made by
the Honorable Senator. The interests
of the people were safe in his hands,
Neither he nor Senator PilliDg knew
anything Of small politics. They went
on the broad ground of public policy and
did what they could to maintain the
rights of the people. While our friend
suggests, they were in the hopeless
minority, yet they did what they could.
All honor and all credit to Senator
McMullen.
Middletown transcript., 1893-06-10

THE TRANSCRIPT extends its very
warmest and heartiest congratulations
toDoctor Shortlidge, Messers, Elliott,
Perkins and Adams on their splendid
victory of Saturday last, ard also to
the Republican members of the City
Council. All the majorities are hand
some and attest the fact that the City
of Wilmington is nominally Republican
and will always give Republican
majority upon a fair vote. The duties
Of the new set Of officers will not be
very onerous, owing to the kindness of
the last Legislature in removing duties
naturally belonging to them, and plac-
ing them in the hands of that wonder
full Democratic example of local self
government Commissions. But the
fact remains that they elected Repub.
licans by an average majority of 600.

DEMOCRATIC orators and writer's in
the last campaign howled for economy,
the wall they sent up in the name of
economy could be heard throughout
the length and breadth of the land. We
have heard very little since the 9Th Of
November. We have have just wit
messed d sample OF Democratic economy
in the appointment by Senator Gray of
a clerk at s4 per day and Of foreman
at SIS per day for tbe new postoffice in
Wilmington. These offices were not
used under Republican administration
as they were, not needed, but now
under economical Democratic govern
ment these offices must be filed at the
public expense by party workers at a
cost of SO a day to the teople. This is
economy.

The Municipal election in Whining
ton isthe first chance that the people
in Delaware have been given to express
their opinion of Democratic legislation
at the last session of the Legislature.
We have no doubt that the present bad
condition of financial affairs, The fail
ure of banks, the slack trade, the cut
ting down Of wages and of affairs
generally has had great effect, and
that while the election there was Of a
local character, yet there is no doubt
that the people after having been de-
ceived by the Democratic workers Of
last year, and now realizing what
Democratic rule means take this oppor-
tunity of entering their protest not
only against the infamy Of the last
Legislature, but of the present ma
tional administration; for no commun-
ity is more sensitive to the effect of
national legislation than Wilmington.
Middletown transcript., 1893-06-10

THE question will naturally arise re-
garding the victory at the last election.
ssWhy did not Wilmington give such
a majority last fall2n One answer to
this Is that the people were deceived by
the representations of Democratic
writers and stump speakers, and were
lead to believe that great and unlimited
prosperity would come with the elec-
Msn of Cleveland. But the case has
been otherwise and the people reversed
their judgment of '92, and gave the
whole Republican ticket sweeping
majority.

A strong opening market with
prospects for large trading en-

the senator From ST. Georges,


Editor of the Transcript:-I had
been waiting for some time to see in
your columns mention of the record
made by the senator from our own
Hundred in the last Legislature.
While agree with every thing you have
stated in regard to Senator Pilling, I
think it but just that Senator McMullen
should receive his share of the credit
after the course he pursued in that
session. He certainly, made good
record. and we are very proud of the
position that he took on the different
questions, and we feel that the TRAN
cRIPT, which is the only Republican
organ fin the County, outside Of
the city, should least have some
mention of him. Yours,
REPUBLICAN.

THE course pursued by Messrs. Pill
ing, and McMnllen in the last Legisla-

men in defence of the rights Of the

able victory in Wilmington on Satur-

OF the people, in a hopeless minority
have always stood for the people. As
true representatives of their constitu-
ents and as true Republicans. their
course has been fully approved by the
