New Castle County Democratic.

The Commercial makes q very erroneous ana
unfair comparison of the vote OF the county by
which it endeavors to show gain for the Radicals
Of 4l9 and a gain TO the Democrats OF l2O. To do
this it puts the majority in Chrstiana Hundred at
226 when it is only 81 on the Road Commissioner,
the only officer that runs through the hundred;
this alone makes reduction OF log. 1t sets down
the Democratic majority at Appoquinimink at t3'
and claims gain OF 1856, when the Democratic ma
jority on the Road Commissioner running through
the huAdred is 1875, which is only ten votes less
than the majority Of 1870, making another rednc-
a reduction of 302 from the gain claimed by the
Commercial III two hundreds alone Now II we
add the gain which that paper conceed' to the
Democrats in Wilmington, on votes to these de-
ductons, it makes 422. showing that there is real
ly no gain at all to the Radical party But on the
contrary loss the Radicals carried the county
in 1870 by majority Of Al votes.
The vote on the Road Commissioner in the sew
eral hundreds (omitting Wilmington shows
Democratic majority in the county OF 1879. II we
add to this the Democratic gains in this city,
which the Commercial conceeds to be III, the
Democrats stand better than they did in 1870,
when the Republicans carried the county by "A
majority.
The Democrats of New Castle county have every
reason to be encouraged and to labor tor the sue
cess of their ticket. They have only to bring out
the white voters III November to secure a triumph.

Tho Little Election a Democratic
Triumph.

The election on Tuesday Tor inspectors, Asses
.ors and Road Commissioners throughout the State
terminated III great triumph for the Democrats
and Liberals. There was very small vote cast,
and consequently the majority is not as large as 1t
was two years ago.
There Is always loss interest taken in this elec-
tion when there is no Governor to be be chosen,
as is the case this year, and the Democrats may
have relied too much on their strength in some OF
the hundreds, while their opponents hurried the
negro element TO the polls, which being organized
leagues was readily moved.
The result shows that the Democrats have car
lied Kent and Sussex counties by handsome ma
lorities, and have majority on the vote for Road
Commissioners in New Castle county
Wilmington daily gazette., 1872-10-03

significant indication of the tendencies of the
times Is found in the fact that "A delegation com.
posed equally of Democrats and Republicans has
been sent TO President Cant from Texas, to hum
MY request that the people of tnat State may be
permitted to hold their elections free from the i,-
terierence and intimidation of Federal troops a
new Legislature is to be elected this fall, and in
all tho districts candidates will be run ON the
question OF impeachlng Gov. DAVIS. who by his
usurpa'ions and completely IN corrupt transactions
has gained the dctestatIon Of the whole COMMUNE
W Without the interference OF United States
troops the partisans oi Davis have no chance of
success. Such interference is expressly prohibited
by the laws OF the United Statos, but Grant cares
very little Tor that, and tn. citizens Of Texas, re-
cogn'aing the cxgencies OF the situation, have dc.
termned to beg from the President as favor what
they might Justly demand u right. As Grant
is as deeply implicated DAVIS IN some of the
most disgrac- ni abuses OF power which have char
acterzed the Administration Of the latter, it is
doubtful! ii the humble petition OF the Texans will
he received with much iavvr But the simple fact
That such petition is deemed necessary vi itself
an elective commentary On tie tendency t. usurr-
anon winch has been Il characteristic feature Of
The present lawess national Administration.

The Last Defense.

The New York Tribune maintains its charge.
against Blaine, it says: Mr. Blaine is quite
right in supposing that THE TRIEuNE will no,
regard his latest attempt at defending himself
an Improvement on its predecessors. lie does
not tell the truth when he SAYS we charged him,
not only as Representative but as Speaker, with
tile Pacific Railroad Eastern Division bribery.
We spoke Of him az Speaker Blame just as we
might say that Gen. Dix, in 1872, served as
Adjutant 10 'ren. Brown. Does it follow that
we mean 10 declare that that precocous gentle
man had not only become soldier at the age
Of IA, but even a General? Go to Mr.. Blaine !,
Ifyou had case yon would not be qnibbling
on points like that. No more would you be
arguing that because YOU were not in Congress
when the original bill was passed, you could
not have been subsequently bribed by the Com.
pany which that bill created. Take look at
the FAC SMILE of the entry in your case, e'se-
where reproduced from the certified copy Of the
list, and then get wha, comfort you may
out of the pretense Of your hasty defender
here that THE TRIBUNE changed "Rlair" TO
"Blane."
The Speaker tries his hand again al the Gre
dit Mobilier business This time lie says he
never received penny therefrom. A trickster,
shifty enough to climb on. Of window while
Butler was watching for him at the door, might
very we'll contrive TO say Of moneys received
from Oakes Ames, that he never received them
from the Credit Mobilier. But We do not care
to eonsider the Speaker too curiously. He has
come to that POINT that bis unsupported word
