! No MAN who should by any mis-
chance vote for George Gray for
United States Senator could lay any
claim to being Republican. He
might think he was a Republican,
and have been elected to the Legis-
lature by Republican votes, but that
is as far as he will ever get, The
man who would so far forget his al
legiance to his party as to vote for
a Democrat for United States Sena-
tor from Delaware, would be forever
ostracised. The Republican party
contains sufficient material to cred
itably represent this State in the
Senate at Washington. The selec.
ton of Senator seems to be as hard
a task as it was four years ago,
when the position was allowed to 60
by default. This is history. Will
II repeat itself again this year. We
sincerely hope not. No Republican
could so far forget his allegiance to
his party as to vote for a Democrat

attention Of the court yesterday.
The two were 16 and 20 years of
age respectively and visited Peo's
saloon, No. 205 Market street, in
company with a young man named
Thomas Cavanaugh, who ordered
beer twice for himself and compan-
ions and paid for the same. The
girls did not seem to have any deli

not the first glass of beer drank by
