THE CONTEST IN rHs CITY.
On all sides the desperation cf the
Democratic managers 10 clearly appar'
4nt. They know that there only nope
Of carrying the State will be to keep
down the Republican majority in New
Castle county. and In their endeayors
to do this will make Wilmington the
objective point fer the operations Of re
pssters and illegal voters. 1t has bean
stated on reliable authority that the
Democratic plan of ballot box stufing
was . colossal one. More than QUE
thing points to this. In the first place,
for some days agents OF the Democrats,
one q nephew of Mayor Almond, it is
asserted, have been secretly operating
here il securing the names Of Repub
lican voters in some OF the strongest
Republican wardu - namely in the
Sixth and Seventh. In the latter ward
the Democratic cauvasser said he ad
been ssns ont by Mr. d. p Pickels, and
Mr.. Pickels through tho REPUBLICAN
has denounced him as an impostsr.
On Saturday, the time this sub rosa
canvass was completed large numbers OF
rough characters, evidently repeaters
began to appear on our streets. That
they are rspeat:rs and ara here for the
purpose OF assisting the Democrats to
,arry the city by foul means We think
we can show in the course Of this article.
APPARENT FRAUD BREAKEs AN AGREEMENT
Recently another little incident has
occurred, which when viewed in con-
neotion with the fraudulent Democratic
canvass and the presence Of scores Of
Democratic rCpsatsr5, must he, to say
the least, interesting. The matter was
this: Some days ago an agreement
was entered into between United States
Marshal MoMullin and District Attor.
nsy Patterson On ona sida, and Senator
Bayard and Mayor Almond On the
other, st the solicitation of the lat!er,
that, at to.morrow's election In this
city, the question of arresting illegal
voters should be referred for decision
to the election efioers at each polling
place, and that when the deputy mar
shals wished arrests made they should
call upon the police, special and gene.
raj, tU make such arrests.
The marshal stipulated that his side
should be released from the agreement
II he should become convinced that the
Democratic workers we're act ng in bad
faith with hImselfand with the Senator
and Mayor. A mistaken impression OF
the agreement got abroad and the
Marshal was censured, bat he held to
the arrangement until he was satisfied
that the Democratic workers wore
schening fraud. Then he wrote q
lett-r to Mayor Almond in which he
says among other things: "sinca
saw you to-day, circumstances have oc-
CURED Of such u character that l fesl
impslled to say to you, and now do
say, that the contemplated arrange
ment in disposal and management Of
the deputy rnarshals, and In reference
TO tho police, and other arrangements
regarding the conduct Of the election
on Tuesday, ths "a proximo, must be
considered as supercsded and with
drawn.
They will leave the Deputy Marshals
frse to arrest any illegal voter who may
attempt 10 vote, no matter what may
be the sioket he desires TO deposit.
WILL WE GAvB DEPUTY sHERIFFs.
Yesterday morning Sheriff Pyle was
in Wilmington and had long CONSUL
tation with Senator Bayard at the lat.
ter's offloe at Tenth and Market streets.
1t Is not known what the result Of the
was, but IL is certain that
he appointment of deputy sheriffs for
was under consideration.
Little eau be learned to. day as to what
he Sheriff will do, and it will oer-
ainly create great indignation II the
sheriff should appoint deputies.
AEUsPICIoUs CIRCUMSTANCE.
The following circumstances tending
o throw some light upon the Demo.
ratio scheme Of fraud, was related to q
reporter by reliable gen.
lsman: On Saturday afternoon be-
wsen A and S O'Clock Chief Engineer
lcIntlrs came to the Lafayette Hotel
nth three strangers and asked II they
Duld bs accommodated until Tuesday :
Forming. The clerk said they could.
Lr. McIntirs then treated them, and
hen about u leave said to the clerk:
Charge the drinks and expenses of
,ese men to Joseph l.. Carpenter and
ell pay it," As he was about to
ave one of the men went up to him
ith a piece of paper. He wrote some. 7
ling upon it, and handed it back.
