A VIGOROUS PROTEST ON BEHALF OF
SUSSEX COUNTY.

A VIGOROUS PROTEST ON BEHALF OF
SUSSEX COUNTY.
In relation to Representative-elect
Bradford's recent insulting allusion TO
the Democracy of Delaware, the Sus-
sex journal says
Let us see the sort of brooms they
propo y to use in sweeping the "semi-
barbarous" Democrats flom little
Delaware. First in Wilmington, they
use set of deputy marsbals appointed
from the dirtiest scum of their party.
Second in Kent and Sussex they pro-
pose to use plentiful supply of money
and whiskey. We know of our own
personal knowledge that these are the
brooms this "Highly morap (God
save the morals) party used at the late
election, i'll order to sweep away the
semi barbarism of democracy. They
did not dare to hold any public meet
ings in our midst for the free and full
discussion of the questions at issue,
but endeavored to seduce and debauch
our people with money and whiskey
contributed from abroad-witness the
lately published dispatches from ex-
Senator Dorsey to Major Lohand. 1t
is time the people in the upper coun-
ties were made acquainted with the
demoralizing means used by Mr.. Brad
ford and his friends to corrupt our
yeomanry. We will tell them Of what
was done by the Republicans, this
"highly moral party" in the town and
Hundred of Georgetown and of course
fhn t,.i dana in oil tho
other hundreds in the county,
We nave about five hundred voters In
this hundred and for the purpose of de-
tauching these shoy sent from above, on
the NJ onday before the election, TO this
town nearly thousand dollars and a
ksg OF whiskey. The whiskey and mon.
ey were placed in the hands of Two OF
our most prominent Republican citizens,
one of whom, the gentle nan who had
charge of the money, we believe Is q
mem DER of church and is claimed BY
his Republican friends to be moral mar
par excellence. We leave the public tC
Judge of that morality and christianity
wink ah allows a man to be party to The
purchase of votes.
The other gentleman, who al leas
does not claim TO be a member of any
church, took the keg of whlskey anG
placed il in The yard adjoining his resi-
dence. The consequence was that hi;
yard and even his house were all day
| long filled with drunken set of negroes
ami low white rowdies, ana although
| the hotel bars were closed, and although
| the Democrats had previously in hundred
caucuses determined to use no whlskey
on election day and were faithful TO theil
determi nation, on no day of the kind
we're so many drunken men ever before
seen ON our streets.
Now suppose leading Democrat haC

sciences OF his fellow men In drunkel
recklessness before buying their votes
what cry of holy horror would hay

puolcans who never would have talket

DYING IN A STREAM OF MOL
TEN SILVER,

ST. Louis, Nov. 19.-The large
works of the st. Louis Silver Smeit-
ing Company at Cheltenham, 10 miles
from here, were destroyed by fire ear
ly this morning. The fire originated
through broken cupola which scat.
tered about the molten metal. The
buildings were all frame, and COM
municated with each other. They
burned very rapidly. The machinery
was not badly damaged. John Viii
liams, the engineer, attempted to re-
turn to the buildings for his coat, but
stumbled into stream of molten me-
tai, and before he could be rescued
was literally roasted alive. In endesv-
oring to pull him from the burning
mass both his arms we're jerked from
their sockets. His body presented .
hor ible appearance when taken from
the ruins. The buildings were insur-
ed for $49, 900, and were probably
worth with their contents 500 ,000.-
The work of rebuilding will be begun
at once.

EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL.

On Wednesday evening next the
eighteenth annual ball of the Shields
Library Assoctatio will take place
IN the auditorium of the Grand Opera
House. The Association are not putting
forth the same endeavors as they did
las, year to make the ball so large. They
have thus far gwen the largest ball that
has ever taken place in this State, and
ace content until some other association
beats them. Although the aildlr will
not be as large as last year, it will be as
enjoyable, and perhaps more 80, as the
crowd will not be so large, which will
afford more room for those who are
present to trip the light fantastic. There
will probab y be delegation present
from the Haymakers OF Chester. A
handsome programme will be presented
TO each lady on the march.

several months past she had been suf-

what better, and went to the store for
tea. She retired early, and near mid
night she commenced to grow worse,

was caused by congestion of the lungs.

GARFIELD'S POLICY.

deal of specua alton and gos ip. The

THE NEGRO PARTY.
For the GAZETTE.

Mr.. EDITOR The GAZETTE has
always maintained tina the Repub-
lican party of this city and State
could not exist without the negro
vote, which comprised large aud
controlling portion of its organiza-
ton. Recent Investigations most
conclusIvely attest the truth of your
position, and show that the Repub-
lien vote of this city and cou .ty, as
cast at the recent election, was as
follows:
First Ward, 1893 white, SO black
Second, 22l white, l47 black Third,
80 white, 50 black; Fourth, PIT
white, 90 black; Fifth, 427 white.
1877 black; Sixth, 39s white, l35
black; Seventh, 525 white, 1873
black Eighth, All white, l72 black
Ninth, l07 white, l22 black Tenth,
2l7 white, "a black; Total, 1926
white, 1881 black. The Democratic
vote footed up 1882, all white. In
this computation, the negro vote Is
estimated in accordance with its
showing upon the Collectors dupli-
Gates, and the various Ward canvass
books. When the illegal black vote
10 taken into consideration there is
no doubt it will swell the total TO at
least fifteen hundred, and reduce the
white Republican vote to 200, leav-
ing a clear Democratic majority on
the white vote of over twelve hun
dred. And yet, twelve years ago,
the Republican party was able to
carry this city without the aid of the
negro vote. Enforced negro equality
has forced white men to come over
to the ranks of the white Demo-
cracy.
Continuing this investigation into
the county, we fiud the Republican
vote to be divided as follows !:
Brandywine Hundred, 3l9 white, 50
black Christiana, SOC white, l66
black Mill Greek, 800 white, 81
black; White Clay Greek, 1875 white,
l36 black; New Castle, DO white,
1T black Pencader, sc white, lG7
black; Red Lion, l44 white, l37
black; St. Georges, &c white, 367
black; Appoquinimink, 80 white,
1874 black; Blackbird, "a white, rs
black; total, 1875 white, 1912 black.
The Democratic vote, all white, was
368S, showing a majority of 1873
over the white Republican vote, and
of 27l over the white and black Re
publican vote combined. In the
whole county the white Republican
vote was 4, ,90l and the black Repub.
lican vote 1923, making a total Of
7,724. The Democratic vote, all
white, was 1920, or within l04 OF
the total black and white Republi-
can vote combined.
These figures show that the black
vote practically controls the Repub
lican party, and witlioat it thai
party would only carry two Wards
in Wilmington-the Sixth and Sew
enth-and would be in a minority il
every hundred in the county. This
black element has voted solidly
with scarcely any political recog'
milton for the past ten years, but
they are tired of their humble posi-
ton and are beginning to assert
their demands. By virtue of their
numbers they are entitled to more
than one third of the offices within
the gift OF the Republican party in
this city, but they hold none.
Next year there will be a change
A Mayor is to be elected, and nc
Republican candidate can get the

he promises TO put negroes on the
