AND EIGHrH WARDS ARE DE.
BATABLE GROUND. WITH DBAHO-
CRATIC VICTORY IN SIGHT.
Tile Legislative body cf Wilmington
will ba Overwhelmingly Democratic
during the next two years. Not more
than fcur Republicans win occupy
seats therein Eight oi tine twelve
wards Will certainly be carried by the
Dernioorats ON Saturday and the Reg
ui.ar Republicans win be fortunate if
THEY hold two OF the other four. I'm
additlon TO- this, the Democrats will
eiect the president Of City Council, so
THAT, OF tlhe thirteen members. from
mime TO eleven will be Democrats.
IL ds safe TO predict that THE Demo-
Gratis win carry the First, SECOND,
Third. Fourth. NINTH. Tenth. Eleventh,
and Twelfth wards. They also have an
excellent chance to win I'M the Sixth
and Eighth wards. In the Fifth and
Seventh wards THE Regular Republi-
cam majorities are so large and the
union Republican following so small

4 I'm the norihern assessment and col
loutt1n district ahere arc two Republi-

Un'cn Republican candidate, must poll

& date 1t IFS not Ibdlieved THAT McKelvey
can do this. and the Likelihood lis THAT

about 500, unless Tho Union Republl--
? cans, Who are apparently bent ON his

-y thus doubling the effect OF tlhair
vote. This is a remdte contingency.
In THE Southern district, which rs

1hleue is some talk THAT Those Union
Il Republican managers who made sueh
/. la dismal failure Of their effort TO de-
feat Staats fer the Union Republican
nomination FOR city treasurer, are set
lting up a scheme TO thncw part OF the
Union Republican strength to Cuwy
the Regular Republican candidate, but
thfs little scheme has been dahected
and adequate steps have been taken to
70 loircumvent such plans.
3 Taken altQgether, Saturday VIII be
N Dong romombored as a day Of disaster
by THE Regular Republicans. who are
H. lnow making a desperate attempt 10
