rHE REFoRM MoyEMENr I'm KENT.

The Independent Democrats, in Kent county
made spirited Canvass and though the final
result seems to indicate that they constitute but
slender fraction OF the numbers Of their party,
s,ill it is gratifying that some men, at least,
within its ranks, have had the manliness and
courage to burst the ties Of mere partisanship,
and demand for the people that Reform and
Rstrenchment which is 30 much needed. We
congratulate the Messrs Ridgely, Mr.. Nicholson.
Mr. Cummins, Mr.. johnson. and their co-work-
ers for their resolute and gallant action, and We
exhort them not to fail, now, in 30 good work.
They commenced it, because of Salisbury Tyran-
ny; lis there any probability that that tyranny
will now be relaxed ?)-and because, also, the
situation of County and State affairs was such
AZ to demand the trumpet-tongued testimonies
of all honest and upright citizens lis there
likelihood that these conditions will now be
changed for the betterO
The Independent men, in Kent, failed Of sue
cess at the polls, it is true, yet they have accom-
plshed work which was most appropriate and
wholesome. They have put their hand to the
pillow, let them not turn back. The people were
just beginning to appreciate the extent, the
character, and the claims of the cause which
they advocated. The hard facts which were
made public began to attract and retain atten-
tion. Let these explanations go on, and let
them be justified. Let it be proven that your
fish purposes, two weeks before All election, but
the sincere and honest outgrowth Of positive
conviction. You can show this by preserving

The Tammany Ring Threatening TO Engorge
the Nation.
LFrom the n. Y. Times, Nov. 1O.l


The means which were used to win the election
are not less striking than the men who managed
the affair. Lest any unsophisticated reader
should suppose that we exaggerate, we will simply
repeat the statements made by incomparably the
ablest organ in the service of the Democrats
the New York Herald That undoubtedly was the
journal which gave the most effective assistance
to Mr.. Tweed and his friends during the canvass
the World simply covering the whole party with
disgrace and derison Now the Herald distinctly
told us, so far back as tho goth October, that
Tammany collects every year some twenty-five
millions of money, or about twice the whole
annual expenses of the Government of the
United States under John Quincy Adams !" and
further, that it would spend at least million in
the election, and buy up every man in the market.
On another day it told us that " Tammany, with
the almighty dollar had secured, and is sure of
holding, New York !" that the coalition of the
Tammany Ring and the Erie Ring is irresistible
in the State" and that joint-stock alliance of
all the great railway and telegraph interests of
the country" would give these Rings the White
House. Yesterday it referred to the fact that
The great railway interests OF the State" had
not overlooked the important matter of
pliabe Legislature"
Here, then, we have the "platform" of the
New York Democracy propounded by the highest
Democratic authority in the country. 1t may be
summed up in two words-unlimited corruption.
There is no pretence OF mystery about it,. The
Tammany managers openly come forward and
say, I'VE do not care cent for the opinions of
respectable citizens--we can always buy enough
even of them to give decent color to our trans
actions. We have so bought, and could buy
again, by one influence and another John Jacob
Astor, Moses Taylor, Marshall o. Roberts, and
others like them. We can always secure a
majority by prodgal use of money, which we
draw from the pockets of the taxpayers, and
which consequently is light come, light go, 80
far as we are concerned. We are in power, and
we mean to remain there-and if necessary, We
will spend two or three millions instead of one to
win an election, and if that will not do, we will
keep where we are by sheer force.

TERRIBLE DEATH OF LITTLE CHILD.


On Wednesday little daughter of John T. Lee,
living on Third street, near Tatnall, went to the
house Of her uncle, Charles b. Yates, on King
street. About half-past five in the afternoon
the child went to Jprivy in Mr.. Yates yard and
the seat giving way beneath her she was precipi-
tated into the we'll, and before she could be
rescued she was drowned or suffocated. The
privy had been cleaned the night before and the
main seat was fixed all right but the low seat
along side for children had not been properly
fixed, and hence the sad accident. The little
girl lacked few days OF being two years old.
The body was recovered as quickly as possible
and taken to the residence of the childs parents,
where Coroner Prendergast, this morning, held
an inquest on it. The jury rendered verdict
that the deceased, Clara Virginia Lee, came to
her death by drowning in privy well on the
premises No. 216 King street, by the giving way
Of small seat, which had not been properly
secured, through the negligence Of the privy
cleaner who had been at work there the previous
night"
During the holding of the inquest scene
occurred calculated to CRATE harshly on the feel
ings Of the stricken family in the next room.
After the verdict had been written out, while
the jurors were signing the verdict representa-
tive of the COMMERCIAL knocked at the door and
was quietly admitted to the room in which the
inquest had been held, and in which the little
corpse still lay. A man named Henry Bleyer
Immediately objected to his presence, but no one
paying any attention to the absurd objection he
commenced a loud and noisy harangue, and
refused to sign his name while reporter was
present. After vain endeavor of the the Cor
oner and others to bring the noisy man to
