WHITE is BEGGING.
From the Evening Journal.

FROM Llle ENellluS JOuTndl.
Levy Court Commissioner Henry NJ.
White, OF the Fourth district, still en-
tertains hope that the Democratic County
Executive Committee will relent and per-
INIT him to run in the primaries for
another term. He asks them to ignore
tine party rule providing for rotation OF
the office among the hundreds in his
district and also to interpret the legis-
lative act OF three years ago in such man
ner as to relieve him from its provisions
of ineligibility. With the record OF the
present Levy Court of such nature as to
bring scandal and reproach upon the
Democratic party, Mr.. White is asking
great deal at the hands of its committee.
For a man whose record has made him
decidedly unpopular with the public to
receive such favors at the hands of his
party would be for that party to endorse
his past official acts. From a Republican
point Of view the nomination OF Mr..
White would be an excellent thing, for
it would result beyond doubt in making
the district Republican, but even with
such an advantage to be gained, no Re-
publican can recommend Mr.. White,
even for the Democratic nomination.

Loaves of Bread Scattered on Rail-

Judging from the many loaves of
bread laying on the platform at French

two large crates of bread for Rehobath
which was to go down on that train.
The crates were loaded on one of the
large trucks and one of the employees OF

the train started across the platform Oh
a run pulling the truck after him. As
! the truck passed over the railroad tracks
the crates got over balanced and fell tc

THEY YEARN FOR
COL. DU POINTS RECORD
From the Dover Delawarean.

From the Dover Delawarean.
We can't be sidetracked, Algy, from
the portraiture we are now engaged on
to take up with you the sorrows you and
your pretended Democratic colleagues
voice. We are too busy outlining the
features and therein the character of
the acknowledged leader Of one Repub.
lican faction. Much less by assisting
your circulation OF Democratic misinfor-
nation do we intend to assist you as
a stirrer up of strife in the Democratic
party.
But what we want and what we must
have, if we can get it, is full and COM
plete history OF your historic and public
deeds.
With that talent for mendacity which
you can procure there ought to be no
difficulty in describing how at the tail
end Of our great Civil War you appeared
in the bloody valley OF Virgian and took
sole charge of the subsequent proceed
ings; how when Jefferson Davis heard
you were there he exclaimed, in the
heartbroken, thrilling accents of despair,
"Alas! my country, if that 'Algy' boy
has indeed come to Virginia, pitting
himself against US, it is too much. |
leave you, my country, to the ineyi-
table" and, saying these words, aban-
doned his capital and lit out for the far
South.
History records that Grant defeated
Lee-can it be that we are mistaken!
Can it be that Algy, and not Grant, re.
ceived the surrendered at Appomattoxl
Get your acquired mendacity really at
work and have told of you the true his
tory for which we poor down country
men just yearn and yearn and yearn
and we promise you that we will reprint
all the truth we find in such articles
even should it describe you clothed ir

loaded with actual powder-but nothing
else-as a salute.
