fact every time he had chance, and during his
forty-fve years of service he had chances in
plenty.
When the Civil had been on for a time
Clitz found himself major of the Twelfth regu

Major Clitz went on the list of the dead and
what was left of his regiment mourned him as
few soldiers are mourned.
Suitable orders were issued lamenting the death
of this hero of Cerro Gordo and Gaines Mills, but
before the period of the real mourning over,
though the official kind had been over for months

been shot through both legs and in one or two
other places. but on his showing few signs OF
life the Confederates made prisoner of him and
sent him to Libby.
Major Clitz was paroled. When he went back
into the service again and when the

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
FOUNDED 1888.

TT HE Republicans on Saturday nominated their
Il candidates TO be voted for at the coming
city election. There we're but few contests, and
these we're in the wards except that for President
of City Council
We think il will be conceded that on the whole
the ticket is one Of the best that has been pre-
sented TO the voters by the Republicans for many
a day. The candidates are exceptionally well
qualified for their places.
Naturally Wilmington is Republican city and
the Republicans should win. But even if this we're
not So the circumstances surrounding the present
campaign arc such as should insure Republican
victory. The candidates of the Republicans are
of much merit, and the city has been treat
ed TO an example of Democratic rule that has not
been satisfactory.
There is good reason why the Democrats
should win at the coming election. They cannot
raise the cry of ring rule in this city with any JUS
thable basis for such cry They caRnot point
with any degree of reason TO a commendabe re-
cord.
The city should therefore return to Republican
control, and il will do so unless there is big
slump in the Republican vote owing 10 indifference
