FRAUD LEGALXzED.

Another infamous attempt has been made by
the Official Republicans to debauch the ballot
box. Having possession of the Tax Receiv ver's
Office, they have for the past week or two
been flooding the city with tax-receipts, dated
back 10 meeet the requirements of the new
constitution. The friends of Colonel Nc
Clure promptly discovered this fraud and had
taken measures 10 thwart It's consumation at
the polls. But to prevent any interference
with the repeaters who are to vote on these
fraudulent receipts, the desperate managers
have caused q bill; cunningly framed so az to
iegalized the fraud and protect both the repeat
ers and the election officers who may receive
their votes, through the Legislature in the alb
sence of the Peoples champion. The auda.
city and craftiness on these tricksters were
both well exempiifed In this transaction.
But like every previous enormity and crime
against the purity of the ballot perpeirated by
the powers that be, ," this daring blow at fair
elections will make more votes against them
than the increased facilities thus given TO re-
peaters can possibly counterbalance. Pres Of

The GuberrSssorial Nomipeeion,
Our Next Govern


Our Next Governor.
Our rne WspaperslI have named for gubernatoral
honofs several prominent citizens. AL Of whom.
so far as We know, are unobjectiouabs. The fact
that 50 many have been named Is evidence OF the
confidence felt iu the success OF the candidate OF
the party.
We deem II Of san iial to saccess that the party
shall unite upon the very best man for the posi-
tion, and although we have our personal prefer
snce, we are prepared TO accept the choice OF the
party and to glve'lim oar heArtlest support.
Our first consideration should be as to qualii
cations. Our next, as to chances OF election based
on personal popularity.
Our preference for Governor would be one who
can show an honest record and whose business
qualifications are evidenced by his material sue
cess in life; inasmuch rs we believe the honest
man who Is able to manage to the, best advantage
his personal affiirs 'wii manage well The affairs
OF the commonwealth We need not add that our
choice must be consistent Democrat, according
to the true meaning OF the word that he must
be prepared to sacrifice his personal wishes when
they conflict with the will Of The majority. From
the number of excellent men named candidates
we would say he should be preferred who has
Jest and longest served his party, who has been
drmest i'll times of trinl aud whose fitness has
been already in way tested. ~r---
In accordance with these views we propose the
name of WILLIAM DRIGHT, ESQ, cx-presdent oil
the Wilmington City Council, with a confidence
based upon lifelong acquaintance through al
the gradatons of apprentice, journeyman, master
workman, farmer Legislator md fnancier; IN al
oflwhich departments he has been Conspicuous
honorable and successful. As party man he ha
been true, liberal and Independent, and has suf
fered imprisonment for the fearless avowal of hi
political sentiments
With such record we offer Mr.. Bright as on
choice for Governor, confident that in him oo
party will select the right for the right place
