dsy and Saturday was the huge frauds
perpetrated upon the people Of Will
nzton on Tuesday last at your mu-
nicipal election. Democrats as we'll az
Republicans denounce your election on
that day as the most stupsndous farce
that was ever enacted. Some Of our
people say that it served you right
that your manhood has sunk into utter
insignifcance by permitting men to 60
up to the polls and depositing a vot.
whom you knew had no right to do so.
WHITTIER are you driftingf 1t ic hor-
ribls to contemplate, that thieves,
drupkards and bootblacks urged on by
the guardians Of the peace, must say
who shall and who shall not be your
rulers. Say no more about the cleo
tons in the South; you are even in a
worse position than the Republicans
there. To be sure there are no murders
committed in your midst, but you in
your apathy quietly fold your arms and
allow the sums Of society to dictate to
you, to place in positions ofproft, honor
and trust, whososvsr they think pro-
per.
They, however, are not the prime
movers in these frauds, they are but
the tools of such men as Archie Given,
C. II. D. Bedford, and many others l
might mention. Such nen ss Brocky
Tom, Sam Clifford, and Gus O'Donnell,
who never think of such . thing as
earning their living At some honorable
employment, and who at any time-day
or night-can be found at some one Of
the low unlicensed saloons that infes,
Water and Front streets, are paid for
their dirty work. and the more frequent
they vote, of course the more money
they receive. know whereof write.
The Democrats Of your city know they
are in minority, and hence the violent
means made use Of to secure what be-
longs to the opposite party. Although
our people here care very little abeut
politics, and generally vote as their
forefathers voted before them, it would
not be healthy for either party to at
tempt to carry an election by fraud; If
any one were 10 attempt to cast an
Illegal ballot here, he would certainly
fnd himself arraignsd before the Court
at its next sitting and just such a
COURSE should you people Of Whining
ton pursue in regard to the frauds and
insults that have been heapei upon
you. H. you are men in the true sense

cf the commonwealth of ofWilmington, to
assert your rights, and purify the bal
