The riunicipai Election.
The election ,nsxt Saturday will deter.
mine which party shall control the affairs
of our city for the coming years. The
members Of the Democratic party have
been guilty Of SO many acts of usurpation
they deserve to be defeated. No matter
how meritorious the nominees may be
their election would BIO considered an en-
dorsement of the acts OF their party and
against such endorsement every Republic
can should enter his protest. The Repub-
lieans have been legislated out of Office
time and again and ID Is high time a halt
was called The Republican candidates
arc meritorious citizens, and. should they
be elected, will perform their duties faith
fully and fearlessly. and no one would
have cause to blush for their conduct.
Henry C. McLear should be elected Mayor
Charles NJ. Leitcb, President Of Council,
VIM H. Curry, Treasurer Harry c. Con-
rad, City Solicitor and Thomas S. Lewis,
Assessor and Collector of the Northern
District. A majority OF the wards should
also elect Republicans to represent them
in City Council. We want to see a full
vote and an honest count and the citizons
will abide by the result.
EVERYTHING, even In business is done
nowadays by those having a pull. This
shows in all lines Of business, but merit
must have something to do with the work
procured. Friendship is big motive
power and often catches business where
merit alone fails to procure it. Its poor
man who has not host Of friends Po-
likeness and mildness Of speech bring the
desired results sooner than meannoss and
harse words. Even a dog will resent
fanoied grievance, SO with the animal
called man. "a snarling dog is more to be
feared than barking ono" "Molasses
catches more flies than vinegar"
THIS week will witness the usual glut
in the strawberry market and now Is the
accepted time to put up your winters sup
ply OF this luxury. The prices have
dropped until every person can purchase
strawberries for the three meals each day
from now on until they disappear. The
hucksters were never SO numerous in our
city, hawking around truck and especially
Strawberries at all prices Wilmington
has u cheap market for its citizens.
