The Little Election.

The result of the Inspectors election
on Tuesday is a souce Of great encourage
ment to the Democrats. We have now
more sure foundation for our hopes
for the election of our ticket, and saliva
ton Of our State from the misfortune Of
Radical rule, in November. Our op-
ponents. relying upon the apathy and
disafcction that appeared in our ranks
two years ago, hoped that through the
aid of their negro allies they would be
able to carry the State, aBd when Will
mington gave majority in favor Of the
Democracy at the recent city election
their journals hastened to declare that
that was no proof of Democratic suprem-
acy in the city as only local issues
had been brought into the contest, and
that great numbers Of Republicans had
voted with the Democrats on those local
issues. We believe they were right
There is no doubt whatever that many
men who have hitherto been Republi-
cans voted at that city election, and on
Tuesday last too. with the Democrats.
The people all over the country have
grown tired and disguised With the cor
rupt practices Of the Radicals. and they
have come to the Democratic party for
the reform which the Republican party
has long been promising but has never
given. This is the natural reversion
which must take place, sooner or later,
all over the Union As the bigotry Of
partisanship wears of, and men begin
to look upon the political condition Of
the country with unprejudiced eyes, the
white race Of America will refuse longer
to submit to the degradation to which
they have been, and are being subject
ed by the Radical politicians in order
to keep themselves in Office.
But the Democratic party of Della
ware. while it has reason to be more
confident Of success at the final contest
in November. from the result on Tues
day, must not depend too much on that
result. We must not rest satisfied with
the fruits o: the first victory, or cease
our efforts to elect our ticket. Last
Tuesday has shown to Us that the VIC
tory is within our grasp if we will but
put forth our hands and take it; but If
NE cease our vigilance and grow indif-
ferent because we succeeded last Tues
day, that victory will prove a great
misfortune rather than benefit to US.
Up then, Democrats, and 60 10 work
more earnestly than ever. We have
the prestige Of victory to encourage US,
and this should lead us to labor all the
more energetically that our triumph
may be the more complete.
