As President Hayes will not call an

session will be devoted by the Demo.

see how they can make much during

their fraud bubbles have exploded.

committees over the country in the
search of fraud at great expense to the
nation, and they have always been
most wonderfully successful in unearth-

The committee can do a good work if

Police Force Increase,

Mayor Almond, judging from the
communication he sent to Council last
night, is anxious that the city shall be
we'll governed so far as multiplicity
of police are concerned. While Mr..
Mc'ilinchey and other Democratic mem.
bers of the City Council are trying so
far as can be judged from external ap-
pearance to economize, Mayor All
mond does not seem to pay much atten-
tiOn to economy and is only anxious to
increase his force no matter what it NAV
cost the city, His proposition will in
crease the expenses of the city about
$1,000, though il is likely that if the
force was increased that in addition to
police duties they would be required to
light and extinguish the lamps of the
city, which would leave the additional
increase of expense about s. 900. 1t is
true that Wilmington has large area
of territory, but if all that has to be
traversed over even the increase recon-
mended would not be sufficient.
We cannot but think that the pres
ent is very inopportune time to add
to the already large taxation of the
citizens. Certainly the city was never
more orderly than at present, and nev-
er was there so little reason for an in
crease than at present. The worst
places which require the strictest po-
lice surveillance are not in til" cutskir
of the city; some Of them are about
within stones cast Of the Mayors Office
and could easily be broken up by the
present force if there was a disposition
to do so. If these gambling hell5 and
the unlicensed saloons which abound
through the heart of the city and which
must be known to the present force
were broken up, there would be but
little work left even for small force.
An increase cf the force we admit
would or ought to be beneficial to good
order and to the protection of the pro
erty and consequently could do no
harm, but it is very doubtful whether
few advantages gained would be suffi-
cient Offset to the increase of taxation
that must ensue. 1t is very dou btful
whether the council will accede to the
request of the Mayor in the face of the
promises of economy and retrenchment
which were to follow in the train of
their election.

Alarm Of the Ds~eersey.


Dispatches from Washington have
revealed the fact that the Democratic
leaders are alarmed st the extent TO
which intimidation Of RSpublicsn voters
has been carried In tie South. Had
the Democrats in the electi0ns held
last Tuesday, in the northern states
ev held their own, there would have
been no great cause for alarm as
it would have shown that the southern
outrages had not affected public senti-
tnent, but now that the elections have
gone contrary TO their expectations and
came we'll nigh wiping out the majority
in the present Congress, they very much
fear that Southern bulldozing has been
carried too far. A prominent Democrat
in that city last night regretted that
the Republicans Of such States al North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala.
ba ma, Mississippi and Louisiana had
not been allowed 10 elect representa-.
tives Of the large Republican majoriti-s
that are known to exist in several dis
tricts in each Of these States. The
most sagacious Democratic leaders fear
that there will be a difRulty In convinc-
ing the northern people that a fair OPP
portunity was afforded the Republican
OF thos. States to exercise the political
rights guaranteed them by the Consti
tution. This is certainly acorrect view
OF the situation and We think We are
saf. in saying that had late intimida-
tions in the South been commenced In
July and August so as to have become
fully known throughout the States that
held elections in October, the change
would have been so great in those cleo
tons in favor Of the Republicans that
the fate Of the Democracy need not
have been postponed until November.
The Democrats can very easily account
tor changes in closely contested election
districts, or where the uiajorities may
run up to 1000 or 5000, but /, is quite
another thing to explain away majori-
ties Of eight. ten, twelve, fifteen and in
one district eighteen thousand. More
than dozen of districts from the states
mentioned have majorities of over eigh ht
thousand, but they will all be repre-
sented by Democrats elected by small
moety of the voters. In face Of these
facts We do not wonder at the alarm of
the Democrats and their fears that theys
have allowed these intimidations to 60
"too far" as they say upon the princi
pie that little might answer but too
much is too much. II is too late now
to retrace steps; the election is over
and In the next Congress dozen |
or two Of Democratic members will |
come up from the strong Republican
districts Of the South, with certificates
of election bearing the bare faced lie,
that they were elected to repres mt such
districts in Congress Those are bra
zen faced cheeky men sho would ac-
;rpt seat in Congress, as a represen-
'ative from district, where, if fair
election was held they would be buried
beneath majorities of thousands. 1t is
a good sign to See this alarm on the
part Of the Democracy though it be insti
gated from selfish motives more than a
desire to see justice done.
