The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1894-04-03

Night comes, and the streets of the
old town grow more quiet. Men have
cheered themselves hoarse, and intense
excitement has wearied everybody. An
even so men have signed the roll, and
more will come In tomorrow. The re-
cruiting Office has been closed by the re-
moval Of the table and the departure of
the captain. With that officer we have
little to do. With the man In citizens
clothes who assisted him we have much.
Let me introduce to you as he sits on
the yeranda of the village inn Duke
Wyle. 20 years of age, bachelor, the
only son Of ex-Judge Wyle, the nabob
of the village and county. The young
man has been educated for nothing in
particular. He has done nothing in
particular since he left college.
Duke? Oh, Dukes all right, was
the reply to any half meant criticism.
The old mans got plenty of money,
and Duke is his heir. Good boy, that
Duke. Likes to hunt and ride and is
little wild, but he'll steady down after
bit. Don't you worry about Dukel'
And when the news of war came
Duke found the excitement his nature
craved. When the volunteer company
was full, he was to be its first lieuten-
ant. He and Royal Kenton were ac-
quaintances, but not friends. In the be-
ginning they had been attracted toward
each other, and there was promise of
close intimacy. But no two men can
love the same woman and be friends
be anything les than enemies. Both
were frequent callers at the old man
sion standing at the head of the long
street, in which resided the widow and
daughter Of the late Hon. John Percy,
one of Virginia's Oldest and wisest SEN
ators and statesmen. If Marian favored
either one, if she was interested In any
one of her numerous callers, no sign of
encouragement had been given. Ken
ton and Wyle were only two out of
twenty, and yet it seemed TO be general
ly understood that she would ultimately
favor one or the other.
''Hoorayl Hooray! We uns will be
In Washington in less n 80 days."
1t was the voice of Steve Brayton
shouting as he drew near.
''You there, Steve?" called Wyle as
the enthusiastio volunteer was swinging
his hat and making ready for another
cheer.
"W ats wanted, lootenant2"
"Come up here!"
''Doggone my hide, but want to git
down thar and hev fout so bad that
can't stand stilli' growled Steve as he

"Whoop! I'm powerfully minded to
Fot ont by myself and git thar befo' the
fussin is all oyerl' exclaimed Steve as
he hesitated to take the chair pushed at
him by the others foot.
"Sit down. You'll get there soon
enough without any extra hurryi Say,
Steve, do you know there's Yankee
among us-a regular, full ficdged Yam
kee right here in this town."
"Lordy, no! Has he un cum down to
captnr' we uns?"
He is hero as spy, Stove-as spy
to let 'em know up north what we are
doing. You fellers are not very bright,
or you'd have got onto him without my
telling"

'tDidn't you know he was Yankee?"
"No!"
"Well, he Is. Any one will tell you
that he came down here from the north
only about a year ago. !"
''Bnt he cum to go inter bizness. -
Yes, but he's a Yankee, and they
are all alike-all down on us about tho
Niger, and all want to make us eat
dirt.

OHIO MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.



CINCINNATI, April Sin the local cleo
tion here yesterday five tickets were in the
field. The head of the ticket, the candl-
dates for mayor, received votes as follows:
John A.. Caldwell Rep.) 2s,66I; Theodore
Horstman tCitizensD, 1912; Isaac j. Mil
Ter (Dem.), 1l,T14; Caldwell's plurality,
6,152. There were 200 votes cast for the
Peoples party candidate and about T5 for
the Prohibitionist ticket.
In Cleveland the Republicans won by
pluralities ranging from $500 to 5000. In
the last presidential election the Demo-
Gratis won by about 1000, and last spring
the Democratic candidate for mayor had
1900 plurality.
In Toledo the entire Republican city
ticket was elected, though several Candi-
dates had reduced pluralities.
In Dayton the Democrats reelected
Mayor McMillin by $50 plurality, and car
ried their full city ticket. They have also
captured the city council and school
boards. Two years ago McMillin had only
2pluraiity, and Mckinley carried the city
by 500.
Returns from Northern Ohio towns show
Republican victories nearly everywhere.
At Crestline usually Democraticl Repub-
licans win by $50, and Wapakoneta elects
the first Republican mayor in years Re-
publican gains are reported from Bellevue
and Bueyrus.

CLEVELAND'S PARTHIAN LETTER.

As ready letter writer Mr.. Cleveland
is evidently the chief. He could no
more refrain from writing letter than
he could from violating the sense OF
honor which exists amongst gentlemen,
or from violating the platform of his
party, to which he had given his solemn
sanction. His first letter to Mr.. Wilson
was an appalling mistake. 1t brought
out five of the most distinguished Demo-
cratic senators in the unequivocsl state
ment that he had practiced bad faith
towards them. Without any beating
about the bush, men like Senators Cor
man, Jones and Vest deliberately de-
clared in their places in the senate that
the president was guilty OF perfdy
towards them. Such development
was never known in the political history
ofthe United States before. Intoxicated
by q personal egotism that has never
been possessed by any man who had
previously occupied seat in the White
House. Mr.. Cleveland. in moment OF
folly, thought that he could ride over
men Of spotless honor, and come out
ahead by dint OF his own personal aasev-
GRAFTON. In this he was miserably mis-
taken. His letter to Mr.. Catchings was
even more eilly than that to Mr.. Wilson.
After q long, protracted and bootless
struggle, the people OF the United States
had supposed that business could adjust
itself for a while to the tariff bill that
has just been passed. But for the life
OF him Mr.. Cleveland could not forbear
shooting Parthian arrow ss he disap.
peared, beaten and ignominious figure,
with blank failure ss the result of his
efforts to coercs both houses of congress,
at the business interests of the American
people. Fortunately his power for mis-
chief is ended. In the November cleo
tionG the people will have their say.
