We have been handed ticket now being
extensively circulated in Appoquinmink
Hundred in this county, and we presume
In other hundreds also, which bears the
names Of all the republican candidates ex-
cept that Of Mr.. Armstrong, our candidate
for Sheriff; that OF Mr.. Richardson the
democratic candidate being substituted for
II. 1t is headed ''Republican Ticket" and
is OF course well calculated TO deceive the
thoughtless or the ignorant
We warn every Republican voter to be on
his guard and see that this Tickle, is not
toisted on him as the genuine one That
the effort to secure the election of the demo-
cratic candidate for Sheriff is to be earnest
and persistent, the preparation and private
circulation of these tickets thus early shows
concusiycly.
Republican i'll you let i. succeed? Lew
Armstrong is good Republican, and in eveiy
respect capable 0! performing the duties of
the Office for which he was fairly nominated.
His name heals the county ticket, and il he
is defeated our opponents will claim ii Dem
ocratic triumph in New Castle county. Are
you ready To consent to this; nay, worse,
have hand in bringing it about?
We do not entertain serious fears Of sur
candidates deeai lie is Il hos, ii himself,
and is immenssl, popular wacrevei he Ia
known, but VIZ ,'aiiinl bat rrcpsaizc the
used TO secure e election ol Mr., Richard-
son whien w@ir i;sttl To seciif his nomiEa-
tion. Peoples sgmpiih.e> nie appealed to
on the sitiind thai he il uul,iiluna,c and
needy. Republicans are reminded that he
belonged to the Uuion League aud is not
much ola De nocrni after all, that in fact il
it had not been for Republicans at the Dem
ocratic nomination he would not have been
| nominated &e, &c.
| We know also that some weak rnen have
given away to these persistent solicitations
not only know that such is tie fact but
know the names Of the men -und we here
urge all other Republicans not 10 allow them
selves to be led into voting for an opponent
of our party. Mr. Richardson's private for
tunes have no right to be considered in this
canvass. II is his proiessed friends and not
ourselves who have dragged them into the
discussion, but we here inform the inter
ested gentlemen who are most prominent in
conducting this extra effort in Mr.. Richard
sons behalf, that so far rs the great mass of
the Republicans OF this county are concern
ed, we do not intend to go back on our own
| nominee and create the semblance Of a DEM
ocratic victory in this county for their ac-
commodation. We arc willing that they
shall have all the money that is due them;
we are also willing that Mr. Richardson shall
prosper, but we don't feel called on TO bring
about these very desirable personal ends by
our votes.
AS to the other reason that he Is stnOt
much of a democrat after ALL we suggest
that our candidate is not any of democrat.
If Republicans participated in the nominal
ton, more shame to them for doing it and
more shame still to Mr.. Richardson's friends
for resorting to such means to force him OH
the Democratic party as its candidate.
As we have said we do not entertain SER
ious fears as to the result but we are anx-
ious that Republicans shall do their duty,
and not cast vote they will always regret
and feel ashamed of. Examine your ticket,
and vote .'s,raight" ones.
