THE COUNTY TICKET,

The tables which we publish elsewhere
give the full vote of the whole county, ex-
cept West Brandywine, where we have only
majorities reported The total vote of the
county for Grant, Excluding West Brandy
wine,) is 1891, for Seymour 4,G5s. Add
the estimated Seymour majority in that dis
trict, and the county gives him III over
Grant.
For Sheriff, Richardson has s27; for Cor
oner, Pendegrass 700 majority.
For Legislature there is some scratching
OF tickets but nothing considerable. DR..
Brown runs slightly behind and Mr.. Ban
croft gains somewhat.
We presume that no Intelligent Rcpub-
lean is asionished at the Democratic sue
cess, unless it be at SO large majority
Some of this we believe to DO fraudulently
polled, especially in the Second Ward and
I'd precinct 4th Ward, of this city, and in
West Brandywine.
The result is that the actual Democratic
gain over us is simply the Coroner. The
Legislature they had the Sheriff they had
the Levy Court they haven't got yet.
And so let us be philosophical, and hasten
TO sell our State bonds, if we have any, to
pay the taxes which we will be very sure tc
have under the unanimous Legislature,
Let us have peace.

The Public Lands.

Excluding Alaska, we own public land
nearly billion and half of acres. Includ.
ing Alaska, we own billion and eight nun
dred millions. Half million ttacres of
this has been surveyed. AT the rate we sold
and gave away land last year, 200 years
more will see the State, like protligaie
heir, run through its whole possessions. In
Florida we still possess l7,500,000 acres; in
Missouri, nearly 100000 acres in Ala
bama 1000, 900 acres the same amount in
Louisiana in California log, 900, 900 acres,
so that State really owns only about one
eight of herself. More than one-Ealf OF
Kansas belongs to the United States, and
Mississippi owes one-eighth Of her soil to the
United States.
The United States have given away OF
swamp lands, valuable when reclaimed.
three times the surface of Holland, Belgium,
Limhurg, Luxembourg, and the Roman
marshes. The value of this gift may be es-
timated by the fact that $500, 600, 600 worth
of lands in the Texas bottom can be reel, i'm
ed at cost of 100000. Up to 1867 Con
gress had given to the Pacific Railroads
l29, 900, 900 of acres of land. With what
was also given to wagon roads, this amount
of land is 100000 of acres more than are
included in New England, all the Middle
States, Virginia, Maryland and Ohio
Nearly one-fourth of all the public land dis
posed of in 1867 was taken for homesteads,
or about l 100000 acres. Since the Home
stead act was passed, G0,0OO farms, OF more
than 1000, 600 acres Of land, have been taken
up and occupied under it, and it is probable
nearly half million people are now existing
and thriving on the public domain by reason
OF this philanthropc legislation. The
American Homestead act has made more
proprietors of land than all Great Britain
In America there are more than 100000 of
freeholders

GRANT YIUTORIONS.

This paper has fought it out on the same
line for General Grant, since July I'd, 1867.
Approaching what we then perceived to be
the manifest duty, and obvious advantage OIL
the nation, the COMMERCIAL started the ball
by nominating, and placing at the mast head
-'.For President Ulysses S. Grant Al
that time only one paper in the United
States, to our knowledge, had taken the
step, though many followed during the a,i.
tumn months.
Now, after sixteen months of canvassing,
the people have elected General Grant Pres
dent of the Republic by an immense vote Of
States, and an overwhelming majority Of
votes.
Let us have Peace

Letter from Charles summer.

The st. Louis Democrat publishes the
following letter from Senator Sumner, adj
dressed to friend in Missouri.
BosToN, Oct 3.-Dedr SIR: am pain
ed to learn that there can be any question
| among good Republicans with regard to the
Acknowledgement of the colored race, especi-
ally as declared in the constitutional amend
ment now pending in Missouri. When shall
this great question be settled il not now /?
| Why wait-why prolong the agony? There
10 only ono way in which 1t non ha eattlsd.
Why not at once! All who vote against II
only vote to continue the agitation, which
will never end except with the establishment
OF the equal rights of ALL Only in this way
can the Declaration of Independence be vim
dictated in its selt-evident truths. As long
as men are excluded from the suffrage on
account of color it is gross imputlence for
any nationt osay that they are equal in rights.
Or course, men are not equal in strength, size
or other endowmcnts, physical OF mental,
but they are equal in rights which is what
our fathers declared They are equal before
God; equal before thu divine law; they
should be made equal before human law.
Equality before the law is thctruc rule. How
can any possible evil result from a rule
which is 50 natural and just: There can be
no conflict of races where there Is no denial
of rights. 1t is only when rights are denied
that conflict begins. See 10 it that all are
treated with justice, and there will he that
peace which is the aspiration Of GOOD men
For the sake fpeace, | pray That this great
opportunity be not lost. hear II strange
cry about the supremacy uf one race over
another. OF course am against this with
my whole heart aud soul was against II
when it showed itself in the terrible preen
sions OF the slave-master; and now / am
against ii, as il shows itself in the most
shameful oligarchy Of which history has
made mention-an oligarchy OF the skin.
Reason, humanity, religion, and common
sense all reject the wretched pre-
tension. Even if The whites are
afraid that the blacks will become an
oligarchy and rule their former masters, this
Is no reason for continued denial of rights.
But this inquictude on account of what is
called NEGRO supremacy" is as amusing as
it is incredible. 1t is one of the curiosities
OF history. Occupied as am at this mo
ment, should be tempted to put aside all
other things and journey 10 the Mississippi
In order to look at company of whites
who will openly confess their fear of NEGRO
supremacy | should like to see their pal
lid faces and hear the confession from their
own trembling lips. Such company of
whites would be sight to behold. Falstaff's
sorry troops We're nothing to them. Such
foolish fears and foolish arguments cannot
prevail against the great cause of canal
rights. Spite Of all obstacles and all preiu-
dices, this truth must triumph. Was il not
declared by our iatherss What they de
clared Is promise perpctually binding rpon
us, their children. Accept my best wishes,
| and believe me, dear sir, faithfully yours,
CHARLES SIMMER.

PHILADELPHIA has acquitted herself most


PHILADELPHIA has acquitted herself most
nobly. The Morning Post says
Republican Philadelphia yesterday grand
ly redeemed herself from the shame of Octo-
ber-not Republican shame-for we were
not beaten then by the strength, but by the
frauds of the enemy. Who can doubt that
Philadelphia is Republican now? The ma
jority Of l49l proves the frauds of October.
We have rolled up these magnificent figures
against the most stupendous frauds ever &C.
complshed-even in the Fourth ward
That nest Of swindlers in October gave Fox
1886 majority, many hundred votes more
than the Democrats could have legitimately
pollcd. Now it gives Seymour and Blair
a majority of 1908, at least Two Thousand
Fraudulent Votes. That we have gained
the city, in face Of such astounding odds, is
proof of the strength of the Republican par
ty. 1t is safe to say the honest Republican
majority for Grant in Philadelphia is not
less than Six Thousand"
