abreast of tho present times, Newspapers

WANT THE MANDAMus SETTLED
The Republicans OF Kent county want |
the mandamus proceedings settled, which |
have been in the courts since last February. |
The adoption of the new constitution has |
done away with the Old Court of E'rors |
and Appeals and created IL Superior Court |
IN Its place. The mandamus proceedings |
are now at statue quo and nothing can be |
done IN the matter until the Superior |
Court has been iuHde possible, and tho |
k!ut county Republicans are weary at the |
slow manner iu which it mas bssn dr1s-
TN along III the courts The delay may |
be politics but it is not good policy and !
DOESN'T speak we'll for the promptness of |
settling such disputes.
EQUAL REPRESENTATION.
by the new superintendent the city of |
Wilmington is divided inLo two Senatori-
al districts, which will insure in the
future two senators from thJ m5tropOli
The holding over Senator from our city
Is senator John Pyl1 who represents the
seJond dtslrIct, Eighth street. is the di-
vlding line, which will insure ole R.pub.
liCnn and one Democrat Senator IN the
next Legislature from Wilmington. After
that bo.h parties will have q fighting
chance in the second district to cnplureit
The next General Assembly should have Il
Republican majOrity, as then Senator
Geo. Gray will be elected to succeed him
salt
Every Republican can soc of what i'm
portanco ii Is for them to capture the Leg
lsluture at the next election. A united
Republican party can only hope to elect
enough Republicans to this important
branch of our State Government. Sena-
tor Gray Is going to have u hard road to
travel to succeed himself in the Senate,
when his term eXDirSs in 1893. It is very
advisable that Delaware should send u
Republican senator to succeed him. The
State Is Republican on fair square vote
and all past Animosities buried amongst
The R'pub.lcanS. The oil ,cs should be so
divided that It would make the party
strong and insure rou iur victory in
lSJ5.
GEORGE SMITH POSTMASTER
The appointment of George L. Smith rs
postmaster u L tury', Will be confirmed

h II Ar, Nlni h did not ask for the office
and thai it swus GUroad on. him. Now
his name has been sent in to tie Senate
with all the chances Of George drawing
the salary Of Sl4tJ a year.
The writer OF this article was present ut
thymont, ut the home Of AIR. j. T. lwaru |
AGhicks, when Mr.. Smith ACCOMPANIED
by his hustling wife, called upon that gen.
ligmnn and tTiCd u get HIM to Withdraw
from the Senatorial race in favor Of MIR.
Anthony Higgins, AMI if he consented he |
WAS to have Senator Gray's place when his
term expired, which would have been six |
years from the time the in tCrviGw IOuk |
place. But all the plcadings of Mr. and
Mrs smith were without avail. and thus
to-day Delaware is without II Republican
Senator, which is u moustruus crime But |
this is now history. Will it repeat itself in
1879? We hope not.
PRONOUNCED IT LIE.
Fred +, Bach was seen last cyeu ing and
asked about the article which fppra red in
the Evening Journal in regard to the
speech he made to tho Poles in the Elcy-
enth ward during the CANVASS of Theodore
