THAT UEPUBLICAN VICTORY.
KCAU8E of strong public approval of the splendid
administration of Mayor Hsrrison W. Howell nnd
a Democratic revolt against the machine ticket set
by Senator Willard Saulsbury and his local kitchen
cabinet, the Republicans and National Progressives
carried Wilmington In the municipal election on Sat
urday by pluralities unprecedented In many years. The
Republican and National Progressive city ticket was
elected and the Republicans also carried City Coun
cil, with Increased representation In that body,
abort, the Democrats elected nothing except their As
sessor and Colector in the strongly Democratic South
ern District, and a minority in City Council, which
may be reduced If charges made with respect to the
count in the First ward can bo substantiated. Iu that

dldatc, won f!y 3 plurality after 17 ballots,
moat of them

out. It may be that steps will be taken to seal Ar
thur Johnson, the Republican candidate.
But even
without that vote, the Republicans and National Pro
gressives will have a clear workiug majority In Coun
cil during the next two years and also control of
Omm
every

Mr. Monaghan sphko publicly In favor of Dr. Springer,
but he could not hold his followers In line,
head of the Democratic State ticket was assassinated
politically last Pall, It was decreed that the head of
the Democratic city ticket muat be assassinated
liilcally this Summer, and it was done,
the friends of Mr. Monaghan were knifing Dr. Springer,
friends of Dr. Springer, who were cognizant of what
was going on. were busy knifing other candidates
Ihe Democratic ticket, with the result that evoryhlng
.was lost to the Democrats and the Saulsbury machine.
j lu 1911 the vote for Dr. J. Harvey Spruanco, the
Democratic candidate for Mayor, was 7,088.
the vote for Dr. Springer, the Democratic candidate,
5.967.
As tho
po
And while
on
In 1913,
That shows a loss of 1,121 on Saturday in
Ihe total Democratic vote for Mayor, when there should
have been an Increase, due to larger population, if to
nothing else. That shows the terrible knlflnq to which
Dr. Springer was subjected by the friends of Mr. Mon
aghan and other Democrats.
It, and the merciless
slashlpg and defeat of the other Démocratie candidates
by Dr. Springer's friends have split the Democratic
party wide open In this city and on lines that It will
be exceedingly difficult to heal.
The question naturally arises, To whom d'd those

Howell ia shown by the fact that his vote on Saturday
was 290 Uss than the one he received In 1911. In the
latter year his vote fas 7.646, while on Saturday It
w as 7,255.
Nor did they go to Houck, the Socialist
candidate for Mayor. In fact, the Socialist vote allow
ed a large falling off on Saturday; when It was only
SI3 as against 770 two years ago. The returns show
that the bulk of the Democratic vote that Dr. Springer
lost, and the bulk of the Socialist vote that Houck
lost, went to Francis I. duPont, the Bull Moose Pro
gressive candidate for Mayor, who received a total
rote of 1,898.
Let H not be forgotten that the Bull Moose Progres

would draw enough votes from Mayor Howell to de
feat him.
Melson cabal that Mr. duPonfs candidacy should
full In the defeat of Dr. Springer and the re-election
ot Mayor Howell. And yet, that Is just what It did.
It supplied a middle-ground refuge for the Democratic
assassins of Dr. Springer's candidacy who did not
wish to pass on over into the Republican or the Na
tional Progressive party. Knowledge of that fact must
be far from pleasing to the Eastburn-Melson
Moose cabal.
It never was contemplated by the Eosthurn

If anyone had suggested to the Bull Moose cabal
Saturday meriting that Mayor Howell, whom It was
endeavoring to defeat, would come out of the tight
with a plurality of 1,288, he would have been ridiculed;
and yet that was exactly what the Mayor did.
on
The
returns indicate that Mr. dnPoat received hundreds
of Democratic, Republican and Socialist votes and
that, with them stripped from his
total vote, the
residue, representing the actual Bull Moose vote, did
not amount to more than 500, or about one-third what
ihe Bull Moose vote was In this city last November, at
which time Hynson, the Bull Moose candidate for Qov
ernor, received 1,409 votes.
In the city election on Saturday the Democratic xote
for Mayor show ed a loss of 1.121 votes as compared with
Ihe vote for Mayor two years ago.
loss was 290 and the So« lalist loss. 417 That makes a
total loss by those three parties of 1,858 vote«. While It
ls true that many disgusted Democrats did not vote at
all, the bulk of that 1,858 wont to mcke up the 1,795 1
votes iccelved by Mr. duPont for Mayor.
The plurality of 1,288 received by Mayor Howell j
on Saturday was the largest received by any Mayoralty j
candidate with one exception. In the last twenty years. '
That exception was In 1903, when Bird. Democrat, had
a plurality of 1,398, duo to the fact that the Republl
vau volo was split between Bowers, Regular Repub
lican, and Frantz, Union Republican. In that election
the combined Republican and Union Republican vote
was 087 greater than the Democratic vote cast for
Bird. Frotr 1893 down to the present time the plu
ralities for Mayor have been ns follow's:
1893 Hhor'lidgc. Rep .
1895— Jefferis, Dent.

It will be seen, therefore, that Mayor Howell has
been exceedingly fortunate. We congratulate him and

gresse ticket upon the vote of confidence they have
received from the people of Wilmington.

JHBMHIKM WATERFRONT VlfTOUV.
A NOTH KR Important step In the long and determin
ed fight of the people of Wilmington to suye the
Delaware river waterfront, from the Wilmington Ter
minal Company and Its associates was taken in the
city election on Saturday. By an overwhelming vote,
the average ratio of which was approximately 7 to 1,
the electorate of Wilmington issued Its - mandate that
steps be token In the courts to test the constitutional
ity of the iniquitous Bulkhead l<aw of 1901, and also
that condemnation proceedings he resorted to to give
to our city the title to a narrow strip of marsh-bank
land along the Delaware river from the mouth of the
Christiana northward to Edge Moor.
Had It not been for the raseallty of election officers
In some districts and the stupidity of such officers ia
other districts, in the matter of handling the water
front ballots the vote on the two questions would
have been much larger than It was. But, oven In the
face of that rascality and stupidity, the vote whs large
enough to show conclusively the strength of public
sentiment In favor of protecting the city's waterfront
on the Delaware against, the speculative Interests which
are trying to get away with It and exploit It.
The Department of Elections Issued Instructions
that the election officers hand a waterfront referendum,
ballot to each voter. In many districts that was,done.
In many others the ballots wore not given to voters at
all unless they asked for them. There were districts in
which the waterfront, ballots were not put in the-boxes
at all as they were voted, but were stacked up outside.
In at least one instance a voter was compelled to de
mand that the ballot he had cast and two other bal
lots that had been cast just previously, be deposited in
the box. It was evidently the design of the election
officers in certain districts to do their utmost to keep
the waterfront vote down to the lowest possible fig
ures by falling to hand ballots to voters and by fail
ing promptly to put ballots into the boxes after they
had been cast.
The sentiment in favor of the protection and the
conservation of the waterfront was so strong, how
ever, that thousands of Republicans, Democrats, Na
tional Progressives. Progressives. Single Taxers, Refer
endum Leaguers. Prohibitionists, Socialists and Inde
pendents recorded themselves in favor of the city
fighting the Wilmington Terminal Company and Us as
sociates and obtaining on the Delaware river a mu
nicipally-owned and controlled waterfront. Of each
eight men who voted, seven voted In favor of such a
policy and Issued their mandate that It b: carried out.
It was a glorious victory for the people of our city
and would have been much iqore glorious had it not
been for the rascality and stupidity of certain elec
tion officers and their flagrant violation of tha Instruc
tions of the Department of Elections.
That Ihe strength of the sontlroen In favor of the
waterfront and against the Wilintugon Terminal Com
pany and Its associates may he shown, let us cite a few
figures, selected at random, from several of the ol8c
tion districts:
First District, Eight ward—Yes. 75; no. 0.

Eighth District, Ninth ward—A' es, 150; no, 40.
Ninth District. Ninth ward—Yes, 182; no, 34.
Twelfth District, Ninth ward—Yes. 219; no. 26.
The above figures, which as yet are unofficial, clear
ly indicate the depth of public sentiment on the all
important waterfront question.
The only regret is that the ballots were handled so
poorly that many voters did not vole upon the ques
tions submitted. The returns show, however, that even
if every voter who did not vote had voted against tho
two waterfront questions there still would have re
mained large majorities in their favor.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How General Grant Tried
to Economize
By Rutland.
The late General A. L. Chetlaiu. of
Chicago, who began service In the
Civil War as captain of the first
company organized in Galena, ill.,
and who, when the war was ended,
was brevet major-general, said to
me some lime In 1897 that as time
passed and he grew old. he found
himself recalling very vividly some of
the incidents associated with the en
listment of the Galena company, in
April, 1801, and a few weeks later
some of his experiences In Spring
field before the regiment to which his
company was attached, went to the
front.
''Almost all of the Incidents which
recall with increasing vividness
each year ua 1 grow older were In
one way or another associated with
General Grant's identification with
our first Galena company of volun
teers." said General Ghetlaln.
"There were many little things
which at the time 1 took no heed of,
at Uaiat consciously, hut they after
ward wore recalled to me and with
increasing vividness. All of them
were associated with Captain Grant,
as we then know him. 1 presume
there are now in .Galena or some
where in the West surviving mem
bars of our first company, who re
member as vividly as 1 do General
Grant's identification as Captain
Grant with the organisation and
drilling of our company, but I think
I am Ihe only man living who can
tell the history in full the
!
ner In which Captain Grant, then
clerk In his father's store, took
charge as drillmaster, and afterward
accompanied ua to Springfield.
"I was very Intimate with Captain
Grant at the time. I had, in fa at,
been one ol his warmest friends in
Galena, our friendship beginning only
a few days after he came from St.
Louis to beglrr work as a clerk in
his father's store
"After Grant became folonel of an
Illinois regiment 1 lost track of him
for a year or two excepting Giat us
soon as hr began to gain prominence
I was able to follow his movements.
"I shall never forget one almost,
pathetic Incident that occurred short
ly after our Galena company arrived
in Springfield. Captain Grant and I
took rooms at one of the hotels. He
spent hla days in visiting the State
House trying to find some one who
would bring him to the notice of Gov
ernor Tates. I was occupied .all day
with my company, so that 1 did not
see Captain Grant from breakfast un
til supper time. We usually had our
meals at the same table.
"1 noticed after a few days that
Captain Grant was beginning to look
worried. He seemed a little despond
ent. He was a very sensitive man
upd for that reason l did not make
any inquiries, hut learned to wait
until he thought it worth while to
toll me what it was that worried
him.

'When we were alone he said to me
that he had about exhausted th"

with him from Galena. He had
about enough to last for two weeks.
He spent nothing except for hlfc

he sold it to a competitor for seven
pounds. It was subsequently acquir
ed by Sir Thomas Grenville for
eighty pounds. At the time of this
transaction the work was valued at
4*9-pounds.-and In 1882 a perfect
copy changed hands for 630 pounds.
The most valuable printed hook in
the world Is the first ever issued from
the press—a Guttenberg Bible. But
even In those early days there were
"editions dc luxe." An ordinary paper
copy, with three leaves "restored"
fetched 2.9(10 pounds the lust flme It
appeared on the market, but at a
recent sale à sensation was caused
by the Inclusion of a fine copy on
vollupi printed by the first printer.
Dealers hurried like homing
pigeons from all quarters of the
globe to vitTw this treasure, and also
to bid for it. [t was finally secured
by pir Henry F. Huntington, the
greatest bookseller on earth, for the
record price of lO.Opu pounds.
I see that Mr. Winston Churchill
has become an "elder brother" of the
Trinity House. Apparently there is
