ward Democratic way for real emoo-
racy. and nominated MIR. Ebe w. Tun

at Ohio City between robbers and citizens.
Thomas Risser, a night watohman, dis
covered thieves breaking into Charles

His Trouble So Grave as to Demand Serious
Attention.
ST PETERsBURG, Aug. 20.-The health
Of the car is causing general anxiety in
Russia. There is no longer any doubt
that his majegty is threatened with grave
kidney troubles. It has been apparent
for some time to those who have seen the
czar in public that he is a sick man. He
has grown thin, his complexion is pale
and Of bad color, and he has the air of a
man who is greatly fatlgued This was
commonly remarked among tho spectators
at the recent launching Of the armored
cruiser Admiral Seniavine.
1t is semioilicially stated that the sole
reason for countermanding tho order for
the army maneuyers at Smolensk was the
state Of the emporor's health When Pro-
fessor Haeeharin was summoned to St.
Petersburg TO see tho ear, it was the opin-
ion Of the palace physicians that his maj
esty was suffering from q loose kidney
Professor Haceharin, after a thorough ex-
animation Of the patient, declared that
that dangerous malady did not exist, but
that his majesty was suffering from pro-
nounced albuminuria.
The future movements Of the imperial
family viii he regulated by the progress
Of the emperor's disease The emperor
will undoubtedly go to Copenhagen, lis
the physicians are of opinion chat the voy-
age and change win do him good Pro-
fessor Zaccharin will be appointed in
spector Of medical affairs at the imperial
court SO that he win be able to be in con
stant attendance upon the ozar and watch
closely the changes in bis condition.

THAT after three days fighting a detach.

Inquiries made on this subject at the

The Nominees.

AAe NNmiheNEs
Ebe w Tunnel, the Democratic nom
inee for Governor, IS without doubt the
strongest man 10 the state for The head
o. the ticket and the Democratic party Of
Delaware may consider itself fortunate
ia securing MI Tunnels consent to the
nse Of his name
Mr Tunnel has for years been looked
upon by the Democracy Of this state as
man particularly available for the guber.
natorial chair but he is Of such an un-s
assuming nature that heretofore It has
been impossible to secure his consent
The nomination Of Mr. Tunnel for Gov
ernor Of Delaware is peculiarly case Of
the Office seeking the man.
In presenting Mr. Tunnels name to
tho voters OF Delaware and asking for
their suffrage the Democratic party can
do SO with the assurance that it has
selected for the head Of the ticket man
whose record Is unassailable; who is
clean.cut, straightout Democrat; who
will poll the full vote Of the party fran
the Brandywine to Baltimore, and who
enjoys the respect and the confidence Of
his opponents as we'll as Of the Demo-
cretic party.
We believe that Ebe w. Tunnel will
run ahead Of his ticket and our only
regret is that more popular running
mate than the New Castle county caucus
has seen ft to place on the ticket is mot
his lot The nomination Of Mr.. Tunnel
embodiss Ia his favor the concurrent
endorsement Of every individual Demo
crat 10 the state.
II the nomination Of represen
tative to Congress we believe
that the convention has made grave
mistake We believe That the oppos u.
tion and objection to Samuel Ban
croft, Jr., as Democratic repre-
sentative in Congress from Della.
ware are SO serious and deep rooted
IS would have justified the convention
IN setting aside all precedent and con
ventioual courtesy, taking the nomina
tlon out Of the caucus and settling the
controversy by placing a man on the
ticket whose party standing was beyond
question This would have been an
heroic measure, but the desperation OF
the case would have justified it and tho
party would have ratified is
Our position on the expeeiency Of
giving Samuel Bancroft, Jr, place on
the Democratic ticket has heretofore been
set forsh aud we nave no modification Of
It 20 make We believe that he will run
behind his ticket and that our view Of
the matter will be justified BY the 10
sult III November next
We have no apology to make Tor oul
course and the difference Of opinion be
tween ourselves and those who are re
sponsible for thus handioapping til,
ticket Is an honest one, SO far as we ARK
concerned, but we cannot consistent,
advise Democrats 10 support MIR. Ban
croft in his ambition. II the result b.
a Republican Ia Congress from this stat,
vie will at least not need 70 open thi
package to find out what it contains
We would much rather have knowr

vulnerable points on which the expo-
dlency Of this nomination may be ques
toned but lack OF space prevents thei
