the Las.Ie Election,

but they have no uncertain sound.
the Laallo EiectltsD.
The Inspectors or more generally
known as the "Little Election" will be
held on Tues lay, the fifth of October,
the polls opening at II O'Clock and
closing at 6 o'clock, P. M. At this
election Inspectors to hold the genera
State election in November are to be che
sen, also assessors and road commission
ers 10 the respective Hundreds. In Will
mington only an Inspector for each
election district and two assessors-aue
for the North aud one for the South dis
trict ara To be chosen. The streets and
public highways being under the
management Of the City Council such
an Office a. road commissioner is not re-
CURED in the city. Though called the
Little Election 1t is really one OF the
most importsnt,I eand one in which
every good citizen should bs interested.
The Inspectors to be chosen on that
d are TO hold the election for Presi.
dent, Congress, the Legislature and the
Levy Court, and it il very important
that they should be honest, upright
men who will hold fair election-not
machine politicians who only try to ex-
Clude the votes of one party and put in
the ballot box all the votes Of the other
party that offers without fairness, rea
son or judgment. Every man who has
aqualifed right to vote, no matter what
his party affiliations may be, should be
assisted to vote instead Of hindered in
voting as has too often been the case
and was the case in this city last Tues
day. An Inspector has the right TO
preserve order at the polls, by calling
on the police to arrest all disorderly
persons and he should have the nerve
to carry this out no matter whether one
Of his own party or one Of the opposite
party is the offender. Besides the i'm
portsnce Of tbs selection Of honest and
capable election officers, the Little
Kleotion will to certain extent be
measure Of party strength and will
afford some indication of how the State
may go in November. The party that
carries the Little Election of October
has a strong send off to obtain vic
tory in November, al the vote is an in
aication of the strength or weakness oil
The respective parties.
With these facts in view it ia hoped
that the Republicans will not be caught
mapping when the Little Election day
oomes around. Let them hold meetings
in every election district in the city
and county and place their best and
most popular men in Office - men in
whom the people have full confidence
4 this is done there is no reason why
he Republicans cannot carry large
majority Of the election districts and
'leot the greater part of the Hundred I
assessors and road commissioners. fl
There Is one other important ques-
ion to be looked at before the Rspub-
leans can be successful, and that is "
he payment Of taxes. Without the a
axes are paid there is no use in going il
the polls. Do not delay the payment d.
{ your taxes until just the evening be- .,
ore or on the day Of the election. On ~
ast Monday evening and Tuesday all
ay the collectors office was crowded :"
nth voters who had put of the pay o.
aent OF their taxes until the last mo. o
aent and many OF them did not get ."
hem paid and consequently lost their ~
lme and lost their vote. Had they gone :"
pay them a week or two sooner there Al
'ould have been no difficulty what. le
var. Republicans might as well IN. NJ
erStand now as at any other time, that IN
Mess they pay tier taxes there can 81
. no Republican victory. Now is the
me to pay them. There is no rush at -
10 collectors Office and, Consequently e.
0 time reed be lost in waiting. Every III
GOD Republican wa ITS a share In the d.
ection Of Garfield and Arthur. Then Ct
ay your taxes now that you may not bi
nly be prepared to cast a 80 i'd ticket "
n Garfield, Arthur, Houston and the Fl
hole Republican ticket in November, Ia
ut be prepared also to vote at the lit N
