The Republicans of Wilmington hav
some very fine organizations which di
good service during the late campaign
Some of them have been ths means O
bringing over several young men from
the ranks of the Democracy. Their
are many more young men, who,
they would but calmly and earnestly
reflect not only upon the merits Of th'
personal characters of the two parties
but upon the principle embraced and
snunciated by each who We feel sure
Weuld join the Republican party. TX
all such the Republican organization
would offer an asylum where good asso
Citations may be found and where they
would catch the spirit OF progress a'
enuncisted by live party that has
thrown aside the clanking letters that
chained progress to the musty milestone
Of past ages. We hope these organi-
cations will not for a moment think Of
disbanding. The battle for the re-
demption Of Delaware has but just
commenced, and Tuesday last wit.

posts, which is only the prelude to the
great Appomattox that will surely over
take the Delaware Democracy in 1882.
There is much earnest honest hard
labor to te performed yet before Della
ware Is redeemed. There are yet $500
Republicans in the State who did not
vote last Tuesday, simply because they
were disfranchised through an iniqui-
tous system of Democratic laws which
are disgrace 10 any State. Even un
der these laws the Republicans Of Della,
ware have made gallant fight. With
everything but sound reason and good
sense against them they have captured
New Castle county and placed her
WhSre she properly belongs, and where
she Intends to stay in the future. The
majority is small it is true kut it is as
efficient as If il were a thousand. With
a full and honest assessment OF all
the voters this hundred or two Of
majorities can be increased to fifteen
hundred. The city of Wilmington
alone under full and fair assessment
is good for one thousand Republican
majority.
To see that everybody is assessed
should be the work of the Republican
organizations. The Northern district
of Wilmington has Republican asses
Sol and there can be no doubt that Mr..
Saville will assess every body, Demo-
Gratis as we'll as Republicans. We know
he will not do 1t, but iii Mr.. saville
discriminates against Democrats in
making the assessment az George G.

cans, we shall criticise and condemn
him with as much earnestness as wS
did Mr.. Ward. 1t is every body's
right to be assessed, foreign and natur.
allied as we'll as native, black as well
as white, poor as well as rich. Every
citizen should pay something for the
support Of the State that protects him
and he cannot pay Ea!ess he is asse5s-
ed.
In the Southern district there is
Democratic assessor who will have TO
employ an assistant to make his assess
ment. How he made the last one is
well remen bsr1d. There Is no reason
to txpsct that he will do any better

him to voluntarily make full and hoy

gone great regeneration since last
winter. Here is where the members of
the Republican organizations can make
them selves useful, and they should be
prepared to watch the assessment Of
the Southern district and see that every
Republican is placed upon the assess
ment.
This is the next work to ba done.
The assessors are already at work and
mus complete their labors by the ftst
of January. This leaves them not
quite two months in which to 90 the
work, and they must recsssarily hurry
to get it done within the time pre-
scribed by law. The members 81 the Re-.
publican clubs and indeed all Republi-
cans should see TO it that not Repub-
lioa1 is missed. 1t is much easier and
better to have every body assessed now
than to have the scene of last winter
repeated at the City Hall, and Of last
March repeated before the Levy Court
even though 1T will sit next Spring in
