tion."
Now, as the Colonial Danes In other
purts have inaugurated u movement
to have the day honored and to he
known qs flag day why not let the
Colonial Danes of this city take up
the echo, and request all patriotic citi.
zens to hang out the American flag on
that day. Delaware feels justly proud
of her position In the flag, for her
stripe Is the foundation OF the flag.
therefore those living at the present
day should arise and do everything
possible to commemorate the day on
which our flag wag chosen. The Sons
of the Revolution and the Colonial
Danes and all residents OF this free
land should unite and make June IA u
national holiday.

About s o'clock this evening the
basement OF st. Peters Church will
he thrown open to the public, as there
will be u grand concert and straw
berry festival for the benefit of ths
church. given under the auptces of the
Ladies' and Mems Il. A. b. Societies
pleasing program has been ar
ranged for the occasion.
1t is Just before the battle, and every
thing has been buttonholed. Some
are open enough to express their
choice for Sheriff, while others say
they do not know whether they will
vote at all. The Indications are at
present that the western district will |
be Ioman's str ongest place. while the
vote for Coroner will be all torn up.
On fair calculation it Is stated that
Carmichael will get $40 votes in New
Castle. As to Toman'g strength 1t can
not be stated, but 1t will not be over
$50.
For Coroner Mailman will receive
26Q votes and the balance will be split
between Rotnwell, Fury, Kane and
O'Donneil. The REPUBLICAN cor.
respondent does not be lieve in gam :
bling, but he will wager with any man
that the nominees for Sheriff and
Coroner tomorrow will be the men
whose npmes are James and George.
Representation has been given to Cur
michael in all the voting precincts.
The tour newly appointed judges are
william Morrison, John Il. Hayes,
John Hanson and James Barr.
They will take the places OF Colonel
Boyd, Harry w. Herbert, Douglas Nc.
Coy and Joseph Taylor.
Who said anyone was mRd2 Why
everything ia harm ony and this is
only what was expected from the
time John II. Rodney was chosen as
hundred representative, for he is a
fair man and wants to see everything
done in fair way.
Some straight out Democrats will
not vote tomorrow, because they are
In favor OF Toman, but as there will be
plenty who have promised to vote for
his opponent. they do not want to be
counted among the number. Toman
is strong candidate, and his friends
here feel confident that he will be
nominated.
At the May term OF the court OF
Oyer and Terminer, Daniel Gillespie.
Edward Burke, Frank Sullivan and
James Mccullough plead guilty to the
charge OF larceny OF lot of brass
from the p. w. d. d. Il. r. Co. They
were sentenced to 80 days imprlson-
ment. Their times would have explr-
ed tom orrow. but Governor Reyn olds
granted the four men pard ons last
evening. Comment is Unnecessary.
