We did at Arst think that there vas
comparative fairness in the election in
the Tenth Ward on Tuesday, but things
have panned out SO differently that We
have come to the conclusion that our
first impressions we're wrong. The poll
lists corresponding show that 663 votes
we're polied, and yet ia votes were
counted out for the Assessor, Mr..
Hughes allotment being 4S7 and Mr..
johnson being allowed 227. Here Is q
discrepancy Of 81 votes, that somehow
or other got into the ballot boxes with.
out the knowledge of either the Demo
cratic or the Republican clerk. De-
duct these bogus Democratic votes the
Democrats would only have 3O9 ma
jority in the Tenth Ward instead Of 26O
as reported by the inspector. Here is
a clear steal Of 81 votes by the Demo
ocrats.
In the West precinct OF the Fifth
Ward, the psll list Of each clerk showed
that 5ll votes had been pollsd, but
53S were counted out, q more than
there were votes upon the poll lists.
Dem ooratic steal q. There is also q
plain steal Of 36 votes in the Eighth
Ward. These votes known positively
to have been stolen and amounting in
the aggregate to ia if added 10 the In.
spector's majority reported would make
a Republican majority in the city Of
232. In this calculation no account what
ever has been taken OF the baldest
theft of all, that In the west district Of
the Third Ward where a Republican
majority OF 80 was changed 10 a Demo.
cratic majority Of &c, Democratic steal,
1876. This added would make Repub-
lican majority in the city of 1868. Other
steals by the Democrats can be pointed
out in other wards which alone pre-.
vented the honest Republican majority
from reaching 450. The city is thor
Oughly Republican, and an honest cleo.

Alter the smoke OF Tuesdays politi
cal battle has cleared away it is found
that the Democrats by the aid Of 20(
stuffed ballots in this city have oomt
cut with 80 majority In the county
and on the vote cast for Inspectors
the Republicans in spite Of ballot boz
stuhng, false counting and the aid O
repsatsrs have 100 majority on the as
sessor's vote. There is no doubt what.
ever that the Republicans had at least
= 300 majority Of the honest vote cast and
IN an honest count. Three inspectors
were boldly; outrageously stolen from
the Republicans in this city. No honest
Democrat believes that the Democrats
Of the Ninth Ward, and West districts
Of the Third and Fifth Wards, carried
the elections in those places honestly.
There are Republican gains every where
in the city wherever there was the least
semblance Of an honest election. Even
in the Democratic Wards, especially the
Second AID Fourth, the Democratic ma
jorities were reduced. In the West dis.
triet Of the Third Ward there is an
acknowledged majority Of rs for the
Rsrublicans and yet Pat Gardiner who
from the fact that he Is Q street sweeper
ought to be an honest mar, made out to
return Democratic majority of SO.

the time when men were asst ssed
because the county needed their taxes
and expected them Of all alike. There
was no such thing then as assessing .
man simply because he was Democrat
and neglecting TO assess him because
he WAS Of the opposite politics. Bu'
now there is q change. Thousands OF
men who want to be legal voters, who
are willing to qualify themselves, srs
denied assessment simply because they
might II assessed vote against 8 GER
tain party in power. Mr.. Higgins show
ed hcE that while 1900 men, Republi-
cans had been denied assessment, the
assessors had assessed 400 Democrats
whose names were up IN the error lists,
with no right to be assessed, and oonss-
quently were illegally assessed. A Pc
tition to the Levy Court, calling the
attention Of that body to the fact was
treated with silent contempt. These
men said Mr.. Higgins voted last Tues
day and will vote again In November.
Mr.. Higgins was .. home in his. refer

sentative in Congress for Delaware and

intellectually he is its strongest man,
