The Loco Focos were rnther premature in
shouting "Delaware regeneratcd and re-
deemed" Their tremendous victory turns
out to be very small affair, and there is o
possibility that it may not turn out u victory
at all. The Wings have certainly carried
the State Legislature, thus securing the
election OF a Wing Senator, and the right of
Mr.. Robinson 10 sent in the house Of repre-
scntatives will probably be contested. From
the paragraph below, copied from the State
Journal, it will be seen that there is good
ground for dcemins his election the result Of
fraud on the part of the Locos.
The Legislature will be composed of S
Wings to 4 Loco Focos in the Senate, and
II Wings to Locos in the house. Wing
majority on joint ballot-EIGMr.
From the Delaware State Journal.
! We tell the Globe, the Pennsylvania, and
others Of that stamp, that they count without
their host, when they claim the members
elected in Sussex, as Loco Focos, they arc
sound Wings, and will elect Wing Senator
in January next. Remember thut. There
ls no falling of from principle in the Wings
Of Delaware. The State is decidedly Wing
us it ever was; and the sense Of disgrace, the
ardent desire 10 wipe out the stigma OF their
late defeat will stimulate the Wings at the
Presidential election in 1910, to renewed and
unprecedented exertions;--their majority we
confidently predict, will exceed any they
have ever yet given. I'VE bide our time"
We understand, that the Levy Court Of
New Castle County, during the week before
the election, were in session at New Castle,
and made out an additional list Of voters. who
had not been assessed for the year, and had
these additional lists delivered to the Inspec-
tors or the morning Of the election. We know
not to what extent this illegal proceeding
was carried but we do know, that such
list, containing i,relre additional voters, was
delivered to the Inspector of New Castle
hundred on the morning of the election aud
we understand, that similar list, containing
nineteen additional voters, was delivered to
the Inspector OF Wilmington on the same
day or the dny previous. The Inspector of
New Castle, knowing the proceeding To be
illegal, promptly rejected the list delivered
to hlnI,and refused TO admit the voters. Here,
we understand, the votes were admitted
whether similar lists were sent into the 9th
er hundreds we have not learned but would
thank our friends in the several hundreds 10
ascertain the facts and inform Us.
The law upon this subject is plain. The |
constitution requires, that the assessment
shall have been made at least six months be- |
fore The election. The Assessor must return !
his assessment list in February; the dupl- !
cate OF that assessment must be put into the |
hands Of the Collector in April; after which,
neither the Levy Court nor the Assessor, has |
any right TO alter or NEEDLE with the dupli- \
cate, in any shape or form. The act OF AS.
scmbly provides, that the lists Of voters in I
the several hundreds, shall be made out in /
The month Of August, and delivered to the |
Sheriff, who shall after the 23rd, and on or |
before the 9th of October, deliver tho same
to the several inspectors. Here then we have
a pa pablc violation Of law by the Levy Court,
involving gross fraud upon the elective
franchise. Not one Of the persons whose
names were upon these additional lists, was
entitled TO vote; and IT it should prove, that \
some fifty or hundred of them were dis.
lrlbuted through the country, why Colonel
Thomas Robinson is not elected, aud his seat
will be contested.
We further understand, that the grosscst
Irregularities were practised in Brandywine
hundred, but al these are now undergoing o
egal scrutiny,we shall postpone any remarks
'ntl VIC have full information Of the facts. II
Here is the official vote for Congress. II
