While on the Republican side the can.
didntes for sheriff are Emmit y. Stidham,
Samuel A. Mcdaniel John 4. Taylor,
Francis S. Bradley. aud James Megilli-

There Is no earthly reason Republican
coming election. The only thing that
would defeat the lucky individual who
shall receive the nomination will be the
existing of the defect in the party ranks.
The only Republican office holders In
New Castle county today il tho sheriff.
coroner, receiver Of taxes and county comp
troller.
In tnl8 city ID the mayor, lily 1FehSur-

The Democratic League, the Bayard Log.
ion came under the head Of one wing OF the
Democratic party, whils tho Young Mems
Democratic club are the silk stocking els'
ment. known as the swallowtails. MI.
Neary has attempted the impossible task
Of getting the silveritei into the Democrat
10 camp sill more.
Not word ha, thus far been let drop as
to whether Congressman L. Irving Handy
will be the choice of tho Young Mems
Democratic club or the Bayard Legion
either. But al the same our own Irving
has received the unqualified endorcement
Of the Siiye; League and he has no Tears
tL0i The gold wing OF the party will dare
to kni Q him.
Senator George Gray is certainly receiv-
ing help from the Administration In the
fglt to succeed himself IN the United
States Senate. He 10 certain that he has
Wilmington within his grasp. and he has
bcou throwing what official favors he has
been able TO dispense to the citizens of
New Castle. His federal opportunities or
those that have been made through his
personal pull with the Republican admin
islration have been given to Now Castle
ties
They we're solicited by the Senator with
the express purpose of strengthening his
political fences and at the expense OF tho
Republican party.
We cant SEQ of what benefit Demo.
cratic Senator from Delaware will be to
the upholdings OF the doctrines Of Re.
publican President. Being young In poll
tics although casting my first vote for
General Grant for President the doctrine
Of the Republican party has undergone

belongs the spoils. But since Benjamin
Harrison ascended the Presidential chair
tho traditions OF our fathers have been
changed and q monarchial form Of Gov
eminent SGT up il Its stead.
Here we have the spectacle Of Demo-
crct holding tho position Of liquor gauger
after his four years sup, for which he re.
cciycd his appointment from Grover Clev.
Gland Surely there can be found a gooH
reliable Republican to accept the position.
Then again u Republican deputy Collec-
tor of Pnr. Was removed before he hai
served o year and Democrat put in his
place through the influence or polit.
zeal effort cf Senator Gray
Oh, yes, there is plenty Of encourage
ment for republicans of Delaware to walk
up to the polls on election day and cast
their ballot for the &. o. p. and throw w
their hats and whoop it up for the party
that favors civil service.
Still, tho Republicans OF Delawar,
should be perfectly satisfied that they arr
allowed TO live, and hope bafore they have
pass ID awayio see n few offices in the
State held BY Republicans, -.
Blessed arc they that don't expect much
for then they will not be grievou,ly disap
pointed.
Tho first REGISTRATION under the newt
Constitution, will take place In thl,
city Oh Saturday next We hope thas
every Republican will see the necessity OF
goinh and citing registered.
The fact should nosbe lost sight of thns
under the primary law in this State vo.
ter must he registered before he cau 7oto
at primary election. THIS /, an impor-
tant ma TOR and should not BIO overlooked.
. It's reported that Tho Democrats have
trick up their sleeve that will bear watch.

ance will never have u chance to appoirS
John Il. Lawson's successor in the Police
