than one language, and we think
that Gt least two dozen Of
capable Germsn-American citizens In
thia city alone can be found TO occupy q
position OF this kind with credit and
honor TO our country, az well as give
satisfaction to Germany. IL seems that
the Senators and Congressman Of Della
ware undervalue entirely our / 500
German voters and citizens in New
Castle county. Neither Messrs. Bayard
Gray nor Higgins ever thought It worth
while to consider. that we have ample
brains and timber TO FL such positions
In other states this state OF sffaire is
quite different. Within the last six
years four intelligent German American
citizens Of this city have applied for
positions Of this KIND, but without sue
cess. 1t surely cannot be said that they
ask too much when they request some
little recognition as oitizans and tax
payers Of this state Wilmington Freie

the assessor This seems to be the Law,
although 10 is q hardship that the Levy
Court has no power Of redress In the
face Of an sslegsmsnt that Is manifestly
wrong Every Evening.
We find the concensus OF Democratic
opinion to be strongly In favor OF con-
vention divided as fifteen to fifteen
strictly on party lines; whereas the
Republican press. expsctant Of victory ia
st least two countries, at the coming
election. will not sanction any other
selection Of delegates than that which
will give 20 their party working ma
jority Ia the convention. Tho Herald
can conceive more or less mischief as q
result OF either Of these plans, aud cam
not reirqulsh It's original suggestion. -
