THE Republican party and its pol

THE Republican party and it's poll
tics in Delaware, for the past fifteen
(, years, has been run wholly in the in
terest of the negroes. The Republi.
can journals in this end of the State
seem to regard the interests of no 9TH
er people. They have continually
sought to gain sympathy from GER
tain class of people by depicting i'm
Imaginary distress and misery of the
colored brother. While thus engaged
W they have, when opportunity affored,
misappropriated, embezzled or squan-
dered the public money. Fortunately
the Republicans lost the confidence of
the people of the State, when they
oyerrun ii with bayonets and drove
honest laborers from the polls and
sought the votes of ignorant negroes
instead. Hence the people of Delaware
then refused to entrust their money
3 and their public schools to the manage
ment Of negro popu lation and their
allies, and the consequence is economy
and good government. 1t was thought
that this would show them their error
and that then they would change their
policy, in time TO keep control of this
county; but instead of this they con-
tinued their extravagant expenditures
in this city, and clamored for negroes
to be appointed TO office, and while
= holding majority of the Levy Court
proposed to run negroes for Coroner,
and also to put negro IS in the jury
., boxes, just as the Republicans in the
Board of Education proposed put
negroes in the Public Schools. While
all this clamor was kept up to the dis
gust of the white people, the pecula-
tion of private property and waste of
%, the public money was being effected,
and public morals corrupted, until the
ulcer broke forth revealing the rob-
berries of banks and savings funds; Of
pensioned soldiers and widows, of the
In ernal Revenue and Customs Depart-
m nts, of the City Treasury and Water
Department. Was it any wonder that
the people turned the Republicans out
of office ? They wasted about 800, 600
on the new reservoir, and about S5O,-
VoO in experimenting at macademizing
the streets with the English Bull"
Win they never tire of this-will they
continue to deny to the white man the
!. privilege to run his own government,
and seek to put him under the negro
II seems not; for now the Republicans
aro commencing to go over the same
old policy that led to their utter ami
-hilation in this State, eliminating in
convention TO disband their party in
Dover, in 1878. They now propose to
persecute and prosecute the Levy
Courts of the several counties for no
putting the names Of negroes in boxes.
TO De drawn as petit and grand Jurors
for the courts, thing the Radical part
OF them wanted to do, but did not dare
10 do IN this county when they held
control of the Levy Court and didt
about as they pleased with the affairs
OF the county. Will this thing never
stop? Win the Union never be made
up? Will Southern man never be
permitted to believe he may visit his
relations in the north without running
the risk of being insulted every time
he enters store or a counting room
by finding gentlemen reading news
papers articles and commenting upon
The vulgar vituperarion with which
they are filled, denouncing the soutb-
ern people as traitors and rebels? We
begin to fear not. We fear that it will
be long time before business man
will be permitted to settle down any,
where south of Mason's and Dixon's
line with any assurance of peace for
himself and dfamily unless theSouth and
West Shall join hands and enforce if.
