WILLING TO PAY FOR 1T. ~
What Uncle Bill Wanted the News
paper Publisher to Do.

A number of newspaper men were ex-
changing "reminiscences u few days ago in
Court street inn. One Of them, by the
way, was an OK publisher-that is to say,
he once owned and edited paper in the
upper section of the state. One of his sub
scribers was William AIakepeace Thack-
cray Wilmington, whose nelghbors called
him "Unclc Bill" to save time and labor.
zone day Uncle Bill walked into my
office" said tile former publisher. "He
placed his whip in corner and removed
his hat. He asked If was the editor. I
pleaded guilty Shake, said he. j am
glad to know ye. When l was young
fcller, used to do some writin myself.
Uncle Bill lapsed into silence and did
some solid thinking for several minutes.
Then he resumed the conversation. He
said he liked the appearance of The Ban
ner of Freedom mighty well and hoped it
was not only bringing me fame, but
money also. Naturally my bosom sweled
with pride. The old man said he had only
few minutes to spare, and, before leav-
ing, he wished to ask favor supposed
that he was about to spring little poem
which he had dashed off all by himself
but that wasn't the case. Uncle Bill said
My son, want to ask you u special
favor. My eyes are not as strong as they
were, and would like to have you print
my copy of the paper in n type two Or
three sizes larger than you use in the regu
lar edition. Now, mind, l don't want you
to do this for nothin. I'm willin to
pay for it. Here's the money, and if that
isn't enough let me know when my sub
scription is due again and I'll pay what

1.-The old man dove his right hand into
his pocket, tished out q silver half dollar
and planked 1t on my table, saying:
There's the money. If that isn't enough
to cover the extree expense, let mo know
when call in next spring, and III make
it good. I'm willin to pay for any little
favors.' Before could explain tho i'm

POLITICS, OF
ALL KINDS.

The Republican First District
Committee met Monday evening
and it was the unanimous opinion
that if all Republicans entitled to
vote, would do so on Saturday next
George w. Bush will be elected
Mayor.
Plans for getting out the vote were
discussed and arrangements for the
various districts were made.
Tonight there will be meeting
of Third ward Republicans at the
Lincoln Republican Club, No. 90s
King street. Republicans are re-
quested to attend the meeting.
Tomorrow night the Twelfth
ward Republicans will meet in
Congress Hall, Third and DUPONT
streets, when prominent Republic
cans will speak.
Republicans OF the Ninth ward
will assemble tomorrow night at
Bantam's Hall, over Eleventh street
bridge and several speakers will
be present.
The Union Republican First Dis
trict Committee met last night to
discuss campaign plans.
A special meeting of the Young
Men Republican Club will be held
on Wednesday evening, at 8 o'clock,
for the purpose of ratifying the Re-
publican ticket.
Harry Conrad has made very
good City Solicitor and should with
out doubt be reelected. If he re-
ceves his party vote, he is sure
winner.
The friends of William B. Clerk
say he feels greatly encouraged at
the numerous persons who have
called on him and signified their
intention of voting for him for May.
or. He realizes that he has the
fight of his life on his hands, but
hopes to receive the majority of the
votes cast election day. With five
tickets in the field, he says he fully
realizes the stupendousness of the
task, but feels that he is equal to
it.
The canards spread around the
city that George w. Bush is mo-
nopolist and a director of the Will
mington Coal Gas Company are
without the slightest foundation.
He never owned share of Gas
Stock in his life and therefore could
not hold the position of director.
He is one Of our business men and
his character needs no vindication.
He is too we'll known for silly lies
to injure him at this time of his life
II is said that everything comes
to him who waits. This is the
motto Peter J. Ford and his large
circle Of friends fully believe in.
He has become a power in the
Democratic party and that is what
now hurts the kid glove element,
but the overall element makes up
the majority vote of the party in
Delaware.
George w. Roberts predicts over
1900 votes for the Union Republican
ticket. But prophets are often mis-
taken in their prophecy.
The fight now going on in the
Republican party in this city is
more bitter than the fight between
the Republican and Democrat par
ties. It's regular Kilkenny fight,
which may result disastrously to
both factions of the Republican
party.
Votes, not shouts or vituperation
count on election day. This fact
should be borne in mind.
