be elected sheriff by from 1900 :
5000 majority, and a. IL is general.
conceded that he will run behind III
ticket, It is useless to compute the fabu
lous majorities the other candidate
upon the same ticket will have.
looks a. II our neighbor had certail
amount Of " hurrsh gush " to let oi
every election campaign, no matte

"Grandfather's Clock" could not b,
more regular In its tick, tick, thai
have been its biennial warnings, threat
enings and eoaxings. Our neighbol
calls upon its faithful clan to turn ont
and urges as . plea tho reduction oi
taxes but he has not word 10 say
about making everybody help 10 pay
the taxes.
There would be- more reason in hi,
appeals II he would urge a remodeling
of the assessment law, 80 that every.
body would be compelled 10 bear l,
proportion Of the taxes. II is not very
co nsistent for him to urg. his party u
vote for reduction of taxation, whei
that same party has stricken 2,00t
names, two-thirds Of them Republicans
from the assessment, for not pay inl
tax which they would gladly havs
paid had the Democratic collectors
called upon them and asked them for
il. II seems to us that the best way
to reduce the taxes, is TO make every
body pay his share OF them, but this
the Gdseife and its friends won't allow
to he done, therefore its appeal for low
taxes is all bosh. Anyhow, il taxes
are high as our neighbor iptinlates, the
Republicans have not made them so.
They have never had a chance for the
last dozen years or more Of doing so. If
the taxes are high the Democrats have
made them so. The large salaries and
percentages paid for the collection Of
taxes, and which are not earned, ar.
paid to Democrats; tn. county Offices
are filed with Democrats, and none hut
Democratic trustees sit down to the big
Quarterly dinners at the Almshou,e,
and drink the rich wines and BRAN
dies paid for out Of the pauper fund.
II was the boast OF that eminent Demo-
crat, John O'Byrne, editor Of the Herald,
in q speech at Richmond, Va, recently,
that there was not Republican Official
in Delaware, from the Governor dow II
to constable, and yet the Gazette is ap,
pealing to the Democrats to turn out
and vote for q reduction If taxation,
as if its party had the iron heel Of Re
publican despotism upon its neck.
Oh, these terrible Republicans OF
Delaware! How they do oppress the
very poor, helpless Democrats How
they do overtsx them, and disfranchisr
them! How they do spend the hard
earned money, filched from poor Demo
,rats as taxes, in paying the high sala-
ries of Republican officials How they
