his shoulders rests the burden of
electing Republican Congressman
for Delaware. Already several So
lutions have appeared the most OBJ
vious being that both candidates
now before the public will retire
and Martin B. Bulris vii! be with
drawn as the candidate for State
Treasurer, and placed in nomination
for Congress on both tickets. These
reports show an ignorance OF the
real situation and prove that Mr..
Burris has not been consulted DR..
Ball is the choice of great many
of our people, while the candidate
named to defeat him is the choice
of nobody. If we are to compro-
mise, we shall advertise to the world
q method by which a strong candi-
date may be beaten.
-. Mr.. Byrne recognizes that DR..
Ball is the logical candidate, in the
repeated declaration that under GER
tain conditions he will withdraw in
his favor and that he will withdraw
for nobody else. If he'll in earnest
In that declaration, then that alone
would settle this talk about a third
man.. In any case, in may be as
well stated, that it is undoubtedly
tho determination Of the Republi-
cans to stand by the ticket they
have nominated and not to be fright
sned by faction whose leader has
declared wish to secure the cleo
ton Of Democrat.
r The Democrat talk has been in
dulged in great deal more than it
Should have beer, and the gas man
is not the only one who has used it
in regard to candidates for office in
Delaware.
NONE of the most laughable things
IN Delaware politics is for Willard
Salisbury osany other Democrat to
kalk about the Republicans using
fraud or taking advantage Of parti-
sap" laws like that of the voters as
sistant, which the Democrats con-
slider an exceedingly bad piece of
legislation. We should like to see
The law put into force once. and
then if it is such bad thing that
The Democrats have no show, let
the next Legislature repeal it. The
law would not be one-half as obnoX-
ious as those passed to disfranchise
hundreds Of Republicans in this
State and which was enforced for
years, thereby keeping the Demo-
Gratis in power. Nor is it as brutal
as the hundreds Of deputy county
constables, composed of the toughs
and bruisers who inundated every
Republican voter on election day
and arrested others who dared to
vote.
JAMES A. SMITH, master carpen-
ter and bridge builder, of the P,
B. q w. Railroad Company, resid-
ing in our city, dropped dead at his
home while eating some fruit on
Sunday evening. Mr.. Smith was
not an old man, being but 63 years
old. He has always been an active
man and one of the best master me-
chanics in the employ Of the Rail
road Company. He entered their
employ in 1858 and has served that
corporation for Al years. He was
one of the best known men on the
Maryland division and had the en-
tire confidence of the Railroad Off
Gals. His work speaks for itself
He said frequently that he did not
wish to linger when death claimed
him. He got his wish, as he died
without a struggle.
THE probabilities are that in the
near future, Wilmingtonians can
run over to New York, leaving here
at 7 o'clock and arriving in that city
at 8 o'clock, transact a days bust
ness and be home before & O'Clock.
The fast time made from Phllalel.
phia to Atlantic City, enables the
business men Of that city to leave
the shore at $ o'clock and they are
in Philadelphia i'll one hour and ten
minutes, or 60 minutes to Camden
Station. The possibilities Of rapid

There Is no more danger than when
the trains took twice as long to coy
er the distance.
MANY persons are visiting Camp
Smyth at Newark, where the Della
ware militia is encampel. The sol
der boys make good appearance
and arc giving Il good account Of
themselves. The militia needs this
outing to put them i'll proper trim.
