THAT CLASS OF people who are con

dents DO ;torS may not know it but
they are most aesuedly playing into
the hands of Guiteau the assassin and
are providing evidence for his defence.
II the President should die and Guiteau
be brought up tor Trial strenuous
etfO.t will be made to clear him after
the approved fashion under such cir
cumstances. His attorneys will try to
make it appear that death was the re-
suit, not Of the asaaSsin's bullet, but oi
the manner in which the wound w;N,
treate! by the physicians.
If il could be shown to the satisiac'
ton of u jury THAT the wound was no,
necessarily fatal, but tina; it was madt
50 by unskillful physicians,th would
be plausible grounds upon which Il
claim an acluittai Of the criminal upor

who are so ready to critiCise and con

perhaps they would then be less reckless

AuIssuc to Think About.

While there Is a lu,l in the politics rI
De.aware, not even city election FOL
Counc:!men TO be held, the people should
calmly look over the situation and SET
what issues are needed more than Others
for the next campaig gn. There is one
issue fortunately upon which all shale'
of politicians could and should unite in
New Castle county, and should remain
united until the object for which they
united is obtained. We refer to iuCreas-
ed representation III the Legislature OF
the State. Now when no other general
question is agitating tAepubl:c mind OF
our county aud city, is the time to
think earnestly and prepare 10 act firm
ly in the matter. We doubt whether
there is any other community As large
a. New Castle county that would rt-
main As docile and quiet as this com
munity has under such shameful dis
,franChiSement, SO Tar as representation
Id the Legislature is concerned. v"
have often tolo it before bnt it will do
no harm to tell it again that there gre
forty-tive thousand disfranchised citi-
zens in New Castle county, who have
no voice whatever in the Legislature
They are permitted it is true 70 go
through the farce Of voting for u legis-
lative ticket, and we believe further
that their votes are counted but what
does it avail 80 lorg as Kentand Sussex
counties with $1,000 Of q population are
represented in the Legislature by
twenty representatives and New Gas.
tie coun ty with $4,000 is represented
BY cnly ten representatives. 10
advance it little stronger and
yet Just as truthfully, Kent and
Sussex counties with $1,000 population
have twenty representatives, while
a, 900 in New Castle county have none
whatever. This cannot be denied.
As As, 900 is just the population of il
mington we might ~ well say that
Wilmington is totally disfranchised, and
the hurly- burly Of an election is only 80
much pastime or fun without any def
mite object III view. We can put II, 900
bonafde legal votes into the ballot
boxes, and they may all be couLtrd but
they amount to nothing.
1t is this question Of diSfranchi1ement
that the voters Of New Castle county
now in this OFT year il politics should
consider seriously. Before this ques-
ton all others should give way. A
union of the voters Of New Castle cOun-
fy is needed until this wrong is righted.
1t was taxation without representation
that led. to the revollti N il l772 and TO
the independence and diserthralment
Of an oppressed people, and unles, the
wrongs of the people of New Castle
county are righ.ed, it will be revolution
again that will disenthrai $4,000 sub.
jects in Delaware before the present
century ends. These are things for the
voters Of New Caste county to think
over during the present calm in poll
tics.
