If you want in formation only we'll tell you what we know about shoes with the greatest pleasure and you won't get tripped up on what we tell you. Then when you're ready to buy you will know all you need to know about the make and the chances with the various goods before you. Nothing like choosing intelligently. We.don't want any customer in the dark. GEO. D. CLELAND. If you are in search ol a cheap shoe, good in quality,but low in price, we can show you all styles of ladies' American Kid Shoes from $1.50 up. A large lot of this variety are now displayed which we are selling at bargains at $1.50, the regular prices of which are $2 50 and $3.00. As we have only a limited number ol these bargain shoes an early selection is advised. 0£0. D. CLELAND. In Men's Shoes much can be said. The present genteel style is the wide toe, ot which we're selling large numbers, is particularly ueat. Strange that it should be so hard to get the young men out of the habit of wearing the narrow toed Jioes when they are virtually out ot style. Bannister's shoes are all made on the wide toe last. They are the finest ready-made shoe in the market and give entire satisfaction. Stacy, Adams & Co.'s shoes are also much sought aller on account ot their cheapness combined with their really good quality. GEO. D. CLELAND, —PROPRIETOR— Wilmington Trunk and .

Tbe duty of Irish-American societies now is to establish and to perfect State league organizations, in order to supple ment the work of the national organization.

The Weather, Improvements, Local (lot* nip ami Moral Reflections. [Special coi rcspoudeuce of the Gazette J Newark, Dei.., Oct. 8.—We have had week of varied weather, rain and sunshine, warm and cold. The rain has somewhat In fered with the wheat-seeding as well as with the cutting up of the late corn crop. The latter Is remarkably good where it has been properly cultivated. The Elkton fair has been the centre of at traction for our town's people, and most the week we were well represented. Messes Kerr and Homewood, of our locality, had some good sheep on exhibition. "Delaware Boy/' Mr. Wilson's horse, was one ol the objects of interest* from our town. Much may be said both for and agaiust horse rac ing, but where a horse belonging to any lo cality contcits for a prize all frort bis neighborhood, regardless of their opinion about the nfbrallty of the thing, have a feel ing that they would like their horse to win. Judging from the long trains and the crowds of people on them our railroad agera will all feel a deep interest In agricul tural fairs. The improvements of our tonn arc still going on. Pusey Pemberton is about put ting up an addition to big already large buildings used as machine and blacksmith shops. Mr. E. R. Wilson Is preparing drafts of great improvements to be made his country residence Just, outside the limits. William Dean has started digging cellar and well for a* new house, the first one on the lots lately sold at public sale, which no doubt will be the forerunner many more in the same locality. He done grading the track for a new railroad siding off the Pomeroy and Newark railroad, which now connects with the P., W. A B. R. R. If our town had a few like him,who were not afraid when they got a dollar to let it breathe the free atmosphere, they might breed more dollars and be of some good to their fellow-citizens. But the reverse is tbe case with most of our moneyed men. When they get hold of a dollar tney seize it with such a grip that in most all the life is taken out of ft. When this Dot the case they are quite willing to lend them to some hard working, industrious man, at a rate any where between 6 and 12 per cent, just as the borrower is willing to bleed. Take the Dean Woolen Co., the Newark Brick Manufacturing Co., and Dean's own individual enterprises for the last few years, out of our town, and would be almost like taking the heart out of it. The fountain ol its life blood would be Vone. ■a o town more men cases ere has been a report In town during the last week that Mr. Dean had been turned-out < f court in regard to his getting a new commission on hU land which the B. A P. R. R. passes over, and a considér able amount of chucklinghas been indulged In, not by bis friends only but by those Vho pretend to be so. Time will tell what will be done. He at least does not seem to be at ail discouraged. Those who started the re port no doubt wished it to be so. The railroad company are fast pushing their work to completion, widen no doubt, when finished and in operation, will be great benefit to the town, aHd everyone should lend it a helping hand. So say all who have no sacrifices to make and who have large estates in tho Immediate vicinity of the town that are to be enhanced In value by its construstlou. The business ot our town looks to be in prosperous condition, all our merchants ap pearing to be fully occupied, and as for work, our people never had under way at one time in the last 30 years. Even our local newspaper has awakened up under its new proprietors, who havo lots of energy and are not afraid to use it. It has got out of its old fogy ruts aud Is bound to be what it wa3 under the administration of its lamented proprietor, Eslifig, oue ot the leading local papers of the State. Talking of newspapers, one of your Wil mington dailies had an editorial Saturday night on ''Waste," in which a most lament able picture was drawn and an attempt made to shuttle tho cause on the young men oi the country towns. It is really surprising that with a paper claiming such a high moral standard as the one rcfeired to is not able to havo an Influence on the city of Wilmington for the bettering of its people. Yet it one half of what it Eays about the crowds of foolish young girls aud the reel ing crowds ol foolish young men and the gangs of boys and more work varying in age from 16 to 40 who arc all of them more or less under the influence oi liquor, is true, it looks to your correspondent that the opera tions of that paper arc somewhat like the "blind leading tbe blind" and that unless something soon intervenes they will all fall in the ditch together, that fouls its own nest, position in which the has placed itself? this paper been long enough In existence, if it had any moral Influence for the bettering the condi tion of the people of Wilmington, to long before this time have brought thtfm up out of the miserai le, drunken rowdy, worthless condition which it represents them to be in. It claims to be a teacher of morality and if what we see is the results of Its teachings were I a citizen of Wilmington, I would say, "good Lord, deliver us from all such in structors." We also have a class of men In our locality who are not probably all they should be, that is the Italian railroad laborers, yet judging by what is said in gard to them they are probably '«more sinned against than sinning." They cannot speak and understand our language, and they doubt have been imposed upon, which caqsed them to resent the Imposition and then those whose duty it is to see that jus tice is done to all are the very ones wht) have imposed upon these persons who are not able to make known the cause of their acting as they have. In most cases men are not so corrupt that they violate law from pure devilment, but there generally is some injustice practiced upon them, which causes the rebellious spirit to be developed. No good citizen would for a moment tolerate any such imposition upon defenceless per sons like these Italians.

HOADLT'S FBIENHS CONFIDENT A Hopeful Feeling Among the Demo cratic Leaders-A Democratic .Legisla ture Likely to be Elected, [New York World Special. J Cincinnati, Oct. 8.— The scenes of pre paration for to-morrow's contest were beyond precedent in Cincinnati. To-day boys were to be seen on the crowded streets handing out electioneering circulars tickets to passers-by, and the sidewalks were covered with documents which the re ceplents didn't wish to carry home. • In the more quiet streets there were women with second amendment circulars distributing them to gentlemen passing. The Methodist mmisters at their weekly meeting to-day made the second amendment a topic. They state that all tho Methodists in the city will be at the polls to-morrow to hold tickets for all three parties impartially and work not for any candidate but for the prohibition amendment. At the headquarters of the Executive Committee this afternoon there novel were Barg ing throngs of ward workers receiving in structions and supplies of tickets. The col ored voter was to be found at the head quarters of both parties. lathing else is talked of on tbe streets or elsewhere to night and a vast number of voters have their tickets already prepared and folded In their vest pockets ready for use. Judge Foraker and Judge Hoadly live in the same ward and in the same precinct. Foraker states that the Republicans can carryithe Slate with Hamilton county giving Hoadly 10,000. He says that 8chumacker, the Prohibition candidate, will not get more than 5,000 votes. LAST IIOUR ESTIMATES. Bona-fide betting Is rare. A few extrava gant bets have been mado by persons who have been careful to hedge. Estimates on Hamilton county put Hoadly's majority at from 2,000 to 5,000. ' Republicans concede 2.000, and Democrats claim 5,000 and even 7.000. If the vote in the counties of Ohio should remain relatively about the same as at last fall's election the Democrats would have 20 out of the 33 Senators. The House would stand at least 55 Democrats to 50 Republi cans. L^te to-night there arc unmistakable In dication that the Germans over the Rhine, out of indignation at the second amendment boom, will make a Democratic boom in Cin cinnati. The temperance women will be out to iTOW distributing tickets and documents on tho streets away from the polls, and that will be the sum total of their work in Cin cinnati. Elsewhere In Ohio they will be at the polls. DEMOCRATIC LEADERS CONFIDENT. The followinsr dispatches wore sent to the editor of The World last night: Columbus, O., Oct. 8.—2»o the Editor of The World: 1 think all indications the belief that Hoadly will be elected ty 15, 000 majority. The popular breeze in his favor Increases hourly. The second amend ment will be defeated. It will bring out a large vote, but will cut the Republican vote proper, iu addition to the conceded solid Germau deflection. That the Legislature will be Democratic is very certain. Chairman Bargar claims 17,000 majority. The Republican managers pri vately confess the result dubious. John G. Thompson. To the Editor of The World: Mr. 1 lassa u rek is in Europe. He probably knows much about the result of the election as Editor of The Volknblatt . To the Editor of The World: The fight in this State is very close, and both sides claim the Legislature. I believe the Legislature will be Democratic. J. R. McLean, Editor Enquirer . To the Editor of The World: * The indica tions are that Foraker will be elected Gov ernor and a Republican Legislature. A mixed result may be expected from tho three tickets In this county. The proba bility is that there will be no whole ticket elected here, and that there will not be a heavy majority for cither State ticket In Cincinnati. A week ago many thought the prohibitory amendment would be carried. It will not. So that tho exces* agitation uncertain the vote from the prohibitory State ticket and may affect the German Re publican vote, and this may possibly give the Democrats the Legislature, though I think not. I do not Lelieve there can bo any element of uncertainty that can de velop in the defeat of Foraker. The ag gregate vote will be very large. M. Halstead.
