OAt campaign and much of the real hard
work of both parties remains undone.
Though there is considerable political
animation, yet there is not that fever
heat that characterized the campaign
SWO years ago, three weeks before the
election. IL is true that the political
meetings have been largely attended,
but the general turn out en- masse has
not occurred yet. We are forced to the
conclusion that there are hundreds, per
hAps thousands, who have not become
interested in the campaign. Especially Is
this the case we fear with a large mum.
ber Of citizens, who have been voting
the Republican ticket. This is no time
for dilly.dallying and remaining in the
tents. The battle is upon US and every
Republican is expected to do his duty.
The Republican party has never been
30 near sweeping victory for the last
.ssa:.--tsy years as it now is. Shall that
victory be lost by a few hundred Re

mot. Delaware occupies quite differ
ent position from Pennsylvania, New
York and Ohio. The latter have been
generally Republican States, with a
spice of Democratic victory occa-
siOnally thrown in. Delaware to all
political interests and purposes has
been solidly Democratic. If there is
any argument why Pennsylvania would
bo benefited by Democratic victory,
that argument applies with q double
force in favor of a Republican victory
in Delaware. Delaware in area is q
small speck when compared with Penn
sylvania, but she needs good govern
ment as much as Pennsylvania does.
How stands the political comparison
between them? Under Republicanism
Pennsylvania had her loyal war debt
assumed by the National Government,
Under Democracy Delaware has semi
uisloyal war debt that the National
government, though strongly impor-
tuned, would not assume. Under Re.
publican rule, Pennsylvania has Splen-
did schools, specially for soldiers Or
phans, and free schools for all the chill
dren of the State. Under Democracy
Delaware refused to give dollar to aid
either the children. wives and widows
of the soldiers, ard 6O00 children have
no school. ULG+r Republican rule
Pennsylvania has penitentiaries for
criminals, houses OF correction for tie
iDcOrrigiblC, houses OF refuge for the
unfortunate, asylums for the deaf and
dumb. the blind and the inebriate,
Wndsr DemoCr rule Della ware has
mot 8 reform institution of any kind
within her borders. She has no re-
Gcrmatory institutions of any kind
But the poor house for the poor, and the
dark, bleak Jail, the pillory and whip
ping post for criminals, old and young.
Under Republican rule Pennsylvania
has representation according to popula-
sion in the Legislature. Delaware uL =
der Democratic rule las one third OF
her population deprived ofany voice or
representation in the Legislature.
This is fact that no Democrat will
deny. Under Republican rule Penn
sylvanis has district representation;
under Democratic rule Delaware has
county representation. Under Repub-
lican rule Pennsylvania has elective
judiciary for q term of years; uRder
Democratic rule DelawAre's judiciary
is appointed by the Governor for life.
Under Republican rule the county Off
GERS, conStables and justices Of tho
peace are all elected by the people; un-
der Democratic rule in Delaware all of
these officers, except the sheriff and
coroner, are appointed by the Governor
and Levy Court. Under Republican
rule the people elect all the State Off
GERS; under Democratic rule, the peo-
ple Of Delaware are permitted only to
elect the Governor. We might go on
making comparisons, but why should
more 10 needed? Are those given moi
enough to show that, while Pennsyl
vaniR would not suffer by Republican
defeat Delaware would be vastly bene
fitted by . Republican victorJ7 Tha
victory is within reach Of the people o
the State. All that Is wanted is fol
every Republican to do his duty and
