The daily gazette., 1880-10-01

our explanation Of the situation Of the
names Of Messrs. Farrell and Turner
upon the Democratic ticket nor
would it be satisfied with any explana-
ton that the GAZETTE or the County
Executive Committee could give. 1t
is obvious to the readers of that paper
that the object of the Radical Com
mittee Is to porpetrate a Yankee
trick to the advantage of the silk
stocking nominees of that party. Its
Know Nothing predictions crop out
at every succeeding election, and in
sufficient strength to influence the en-
tire exclusion of Irishmen from the
Republican ticket. And now, not
content with this prescription of
foreign-born citizens, although with
us from their earliest boyhood, the
Massachusetts and Rhode Island po-
lltical sentiment joined in aid Of the
Know Nothing organ attempts here
in Delaware to initiate that political
opposition which has held the New
England States under the heel of
Radicalism for more than quarter of
a century. The Republican knows
there has not been Democratic tickle
printed, and yet it asserts that the
n.mes of Mr.. Turner as Representa-
tive, and Mr.. Farrell, as Levy Court
Commissioner, are both put at the
bottom, in their respective branches of
the ticket, in order that they may be
"scratchod" or "cut." Now, this
falsehood, that the Democratic ticket
has been thus formed, is not sent forth
without an object. 1t is TO concen-
trate whatever scratching" may be
done, upon Messrs. Turner and Far
rell, purposely with the hope of pos.
sibly defeating either or both of these
candidates, and electing their oppo-
nents. We point this matter out
clearly to the Democratic voters, and
warn them not to allow the obnoxious
influence Of Know Nothingism and
property qualification against our
foreign-born citizens, imported from
the East, to this city, to succeed here
in doing the anti-Democratic work oil
singing out men because of their
birth, education, religion, or inability
to succeed in accommodating real es.
tate. The Radical plans to Cypress
the white people and introduce class
legislation oppressive of them by de.
priving them of the means of protect.
ing themselves through the elective
franchise, by the use of negro votes,
viii not succeed in Delaware. The
names Of Messrs. Turner and Fare
will not be scratched by the Demo-
Gratis, even should they be printed al
the bottom of the ticket. We do no
wish to draw comparisons between
candidates. The Democratic part,
has always been charged with beint
governed more or less by Irishmel
and influenced to labor for the benefi
of foreign-born citizens. This hai
been charged ever since the defeat o
the Alien and Sedition laws by Jeffer-
son, and the days of Jackson's popu.
larity with that branch of our people
and having stood it thus long we thinl
we can stand the charge little longer
1t was the Democratic party tina
made the country the "asylum for tn,
oppressed of all nations" and we cal
upon every lrishman to note the fac
that the Radical press has enunciatec
the idea for the concentration of til,
s,,cratchers' upon Irishmen; and
therefore, we ask if it would not b,
right for every Irish Republican t,
vote the Democratic ticket, and thu
help to put the attempt to introduce her,
the isDgs of he Eas ern States under
footp Why par y should show sucl
Q desire for he Authorization O
Delaware, and such hatred of tn
best blood of civilized Europe, by th
oppression of he foreign-born, is
mystery, he solution of which cal
