SHARPLESS, Every day adds votes to the Dickerman column and increases the majority he will roll up in No vember. The Democratic candi date's eminent fitness for the place is winning him support among all classes and in all parties. A man who was thrown upon his own re sources before lie reached his ma jority, he carved out a successful business career for himself. What measure of success he lias achieved is due entirely to his own ability, determination and force of charac ter. A man who has succeeded and has the benefit of years of prac tical busin :ss experience and obser vation i- a safe man to represent the peo Je in congress. He will be no e xperiment.

Here his own personality has little share or part ; he is the selected candidate of Senators Quay and Penrose, of Dur ham and Ashbndge, and as their first, best found choice, his candi dacy represents not only their des perate need, but all the malign forces, policies and purposes of those discredited politicians who stand forth as the exponents of what are generally known as Quayism and Ashbridgeism, which arc, so far as this state and city are concerned, the top and crown of venal political scheming and doing. "The character of Mr. Pattison is not a whit less estimable, in anv way, than that of Mr. Pennypacker It is above and beyond reproach, and so tar the candidates stand shoulder to shoulder upon the same firm ground of vantage. There, however, all comparison of their respective merits as candidates ends Mr. Pennypacker has no political record except as the panegyrist ot the discredited politician, Mr. Ouay Mr. Pattison has been long in active political life, aud twice governor of Pennsylvania. His record is an open one, and of unusual distinction and usefulness; of fidelity to official trust, unselfish devotion to popular interests and of intelligently direct ed zeal in the discharge of all public duties. ' Mr. Pennypacker stands, as the candidate of Quay, for Quayism and Ashbridgeism, and for all that these phases express of political venality and wrong-doing. Mr. Pattison, as a candidate, stands for whatever is opposed to the political ills from which all citizens suffer, chief of which is that by frauds against the ballot the citizens is deprived of his highest and best privilege to vote as he wills, and to have his vote honestly counted aud recorded." A DEMOCRATIC DISIRICT. Xo careful observer of political events, no matter what his prefer ence may be, can review the past history of the Sixteenth congres sional district, and then in good faith predict the defeat of the Demo cratic candidate. Every county in the district is Democratic by from 200 to 2,200. A: no time during the past fifteen years has it given a Republican majority for governor or president. The Democratic candi date this year fills the full meas ure of fitness. He is able, conscien tious and experienced, and is per haps in an all round way better qualified to represent our people at Washington than any other man iu the district. He has behind him a long, successful and honorable business career aud an unsullied private character. He is one of the shrewdest and best K!itical organi zers in the state, and with all these favorable conditions, with the party united and well organized in every county in the district, not to men tion the dissentiou and factional broils that are disrupting the opposi tion, can any sound, logical reason be given for the claims so freely made and so seldom backed up, by the opposition, that the Republican candidate will prove a winner? Does the real situation at this time present oue condition that the most enthusiastic and sanguine supporter of the opposition would care to stake his political judgment on, that the Democratic candidate will not poll an increased rather than a decreased party vote? For the information of our read ers who may be a iittle forgetful we reproduce the figures of the past fifteeu years, showing the vote cast at the several congressional elec tions. In 1888, Charles R. Bucka- lew had 2,656 majority. In 1890 b. P, olvtrton had 5,944 and in 892. 5.3V I" lSH Kulp, Repu blican, had 894, and in 1896 Kulp had 1,122. In 1898 Polk had 2,305 and in 1900, 3.732. Taking the whole seven congressional elec tions, the average Democratic ma jority was 2,703. and for the five congressional battles outside ot the Kulp contest it was a trifle less than four thousand, which will be ap proximately the majority this year. Eliminating from this review all the contests previous to the gover nor's election in 1S98, let us see whai the recent record of the dis trict nas oeen. in 1S93 it gave Jenks 3,347. In 1899 it gave Creasy 4,043. In 1900 it gave Polk 3.732, an average of 3,707. In the presidential campaign of 1900 when McKinley carried Pennsylvania by over a quarter of a million majority, Bryan had a majority iu the Six teenth district of 2.344, and it was one of three congressional districts in the state that did not break away from its party moorings. On the other hand every sign points to a decreased Republican vote in both state and district, aud the partisan who hopes to keep Dickerman's majority under three thousand is permitting his prejudice to get the better of his judgment. . .. Wilmington Athletic Association lowered the colors of the Brandy wine ball team before upwards of twenty thousand people at Colum bia Park, Philadelphia on Monday. The game was arranged by the Philadelphia iitirer, and played for a stake of $1000 posted by that journal, and the gate receipt, amounting all told, to about $7000. This amount was distributed equal ly among the members of the Wil mington Club, and its manager, netting each about six hundred dollars. Al Newton and Jack Steventon, two Normal School favorites, played with Brandywine, and both put up star games. Steventon was sent into the box to pitch after the game had been lost. It is the general belief that had he j pitched the whole game, Brandy- J wine woul.i have won. Wilmington scored one run in the first and another in the second, only two altogether, but they proved suffi-, cient, as their onnouents scored but one, and that in the second ming. It was perhaps the greatest amateur game, attendance and interest considered, that has ever been played. Newton and Steven ton are expected to arrive in Bloomsbiug on Saturday, and their many friends are anxiously wait ing to welcome them bfck and hear their story of the creat came. From every section of the distict come the most satisfactory and en couraging reports rf the congress ional canvass. Every indication points to an increased vote for the Democratic candidate, Mr. Dicker- man, whose nomination has met with favor among Democrats every where. That he will be elected goes without saying, and that he will be elected by an increased ma jority is just as certain as the dawn of election day. The district is well organized, harmony prevails in the Democratic columns, and the syste matic work of the congresssonal canvass and organization adds strength to the local tickets iu each county in the district. Dickerman is a winner. Laying aside the fact that the district is Democratic by from vsoo to 4,000, he will win because the rank and file of the voters, irrespective of party, believe he is the man who can best represent the district at Washington, aud there are enough voters who are true to their con victions and sense of right to win out. Mr. Dickerman is a man of wide experience and settled con victions upon the ereat ecouomic problems that will engage the at tention of our national lawmakers.

He had his hearers guessing tor a few minutes, when he explained by saying that a heavy wind during the night made the house rock. '"The P.isoner of Zenda'' and "The Last Chance" were booked to appear, the former one night and the latter two nights at the Opera House during fair week. The coal strike, however tiecessilated a change of route and both have been cancelled. The house is still without an attrac tion for that week, which is always the best in point of attendance, of the whole season. Talbot-Irvine Ob urea Case Postponed Case Goes Over to the December Terra Tiie suit of Rev. I. N. W. Irvine against Mrs. Emma D. Elliot, Bishop Talbot and Alexander Elliot was called before Judge Mavor, of Ciinton county, who is holding court in the absence of Judge Bailey on Monday, but again postponed, this time until the December term. The case has been continued from one session of court to another, and the postpone ment Monday was a decided disap pointment to many interested. The case has been pending for about two years. When Dr. Irvine was rector of the church at Hunting don he recommended that Mrs. El hot, a divorcee, be excommunicated from the church. Bishop Talbot is said to have agreed in this at first, but afterwards became a friend of Mrs. Elliot s, and the famous contro versy was begun. The charges of conspiracy against the Bishop and Mrs. Elliot are based principally on a letter said to have been written to Mrs. Elliot by Bishop Talbot, the result of which was the prosecution of the rector. Dr. Irvine was acquitted. He was unfrocked by Bishop Talbot, and, after the chuich board refused to recommend Talbot's trial" before an ecclesiastical body, action followed in the courts. Cold Water Candidate Named. Rev. Harry Curtin Ilarman, of Danville, was on Tuesday nomi nated by the Prohibition Congres sional Conference as the party's candidate for congress from this district, comprising the counties of Xorthumberland, Sullivan, Mon tour and Columbia. This county was represented by M. P. Lutz and Richard W. Eggert, of Danville. The latter acted as alternate for R. T. Smith, of Ben ton, who was uuable to be present. Sullivan had no representative at the meeting. Mr. Ilarman is the candidate for both the long aud short term. It is lumored that the Republi can candidate for Congress in this district expects to be elected by the assistance of a large amount of money. That a Republican candi date can spend a lot of dollars and that possibly iu a legal way, has already been demonstrated in the district, on a former occasion. But all the same, the Democratic candi date was elected. The people can't be bought in that way. Charles H. Dickerman, of Milton, will be elect ed by the Democrats as the next ! congressman.
