The XVIII amendment does not en-
franchise the Chinese. It only applies
to ''citizens Of the United Sgates," bit be-
fore a Chinaman can Become such he
must be Raturslised, and Congress re-
tains, under the amendment, entire
control of the naturalization laH7s. Not
a single Chinaman has yet become a
citizen ofthe United States and not a
single one can if Congress choose to
prevent it. All the savage oratory of
the Sham Democrats on the relation OF
the amendment to the Chinese question
is therefore so much wasted powder.

MORE ABOUT A. J. LEONARD.

100 GAAN0
1t is with extreme reluctance that we
drag this gentlemanas name again be-
fore the public, knowing as we do that
he does not court thu public eye and
that it is extremely ~distasteful to him
to be made the subject of public dis
cussion. But so unfair and outrageous
has been the treatment he has received
from the peoples ticket clique that
Justice alike to himself and to the pub
lie demands that he should receive this
further vindication. While Mr.. Leon
ard might be and probably is willing
to forego it, yet there is that due to the
public ems Of justice, which is every
mans surest protection against fraud
and misrepresentation, that will not
permit us to keep silence.
Now let the reader mark the steps
taken to involve Mr.: Leonard in the
peoples ticket humbhg and then con-
slider whether he ever knew of a case
of more bare-faced dishonesty or more
foul injustice.
First, Mr.. Leonard learned that the
adroit contrivers of the so-caIIed peo-
pies ticket, in order to give it p
Iarity and plausibiIity in the eastern
section Of the county, had resolved to
foist his name upon it as a candidate.
Mr.. Leonard thereupon informed the
aforesaid contrivers, by a written COM
munication, that he did not authorize
any such proceeding and in fact pro
tested against it. Notwithstanding all
this the peoples ticket" was made up
with Mr.. Leonard's name upon it as a
candidate for Treasurer, and in that
shape was handed to us for pubIica-
ton. At the same slime it was current
ly given out and reported from Demo-
cratic headquarters that the Democracy
had pledged themselves to support
this ticket with Mr.. Leonard's nam up
on it, and it is idle for the Democrats
to disavow ever having had any inten-
ton to support MI. Leonard, as some
of them are now doing. Their leaders
placed his name on their ticket and
pledged their party to vote for him
provided ne would consent to the use
of his name, and they cannot creep
out of it by calling Mr.. Leonard hard
names and trying to ridicule him as
we happen to know they are trying to.
do.
The managers of the peoples ticket,
having discovered hat Mr.. Leonard
scorned to permit any connection of
his name with their schemes, and that
he was not a man to be trifed with,
quietly withdrew his name from their
ticket and substituted that of another
gentleman, doubtless without having
informed that other gentleman that
they had previously selected Mr.. Leon
ard as their first choice and that they
only asked to use his (the other rem
tleman's) mamie because compelled by
Mr.. Leonard's refusal. All these facts
we have from Mr.. LeoRGrd's otcn tips,
as two or three respectable and cred
liable persons can testify.
Bnt now mark the darkest and most
atrocious part of this whole transac-
ton, The managers of the peoples

1t is claimed by some of the indie
pendent candidates that there were
rings and cliques in the Republican
convention. But there were no rings
there half so d~everving of defeat, or
half so odious to the Republican voter,
as the Democratic Ring which has
fathered the independent ticket. This
Ring seeks not only the defeat of our
nominees, but the disruption of our
party, and the concentration of two
thirds of the county offices in Della
ware township With the Republican
party made helpless by division, and
the important offces of the county
brought practically within its grasp,
this Ring hopes to have a good time OF
it. Not only will it feed and fatten
at the public crib, but organize
a Court House Regency which will
seek to make every section OF the
county a pensioner upon its favOrs.-
Such is the scheme which has been set
Up in the name Of the people! It is a
selfish fraud which the people have
had nothing to do, with and viii in
dignantly repudiate.

REruuEIcAN or DnMocRATIcl !

No n can longer entertain a doubt
as to the real political complexion of
the sspeopIe's ticket" movement. It
stands fully revealed in the following
manifesto of the Democratic Central
Committee which was opportunity
published in the Democratic paper of
last week. Whatever may be the PO-
liticaI predictions of the gentlemen
on the independent ticket, the pub
lie has here sufficient evidence that the
movement to which they have lent
their names has its Inception and its
motive power in Democratic schemes
and wishes:
[From the Delaware Herald, Oct. IL

Voting for Republicans is a good
habit for Democrats to fall into and we
are glad to see them cultivating it ex-
tensive1y this fall. It is not improba-
BILE that it may lead to good results in
the future, and Democratic Central
Committees which incontinently bind
their party to vote for boiling Repub-
licans may find they have invented a
knife with a double edge. A Demo-
rat who is asked to vote for a boltcr
recommended TO him by his own party
organ as an undoubted Republican,
viii in many cases be quite as willing
and ready to vote for the regular Re-
publican nominee rs for the boltet. An
equally good man on the Republican
ticket will equally deserve his support
and a better man will more deserve it.
Democrats who are willing to vote for
Republicans this fall will find the gem
tlemen on regular ticket highly
deserving of their suffrages, and need
not throw their votes away on a fill
clustering adventure which holds to no
party and avOws no principle.
