The Radical Cry after tine Election
For the Gazette. lt3'HlNa t
81 MR.. EDIToR:-The Radical press Of
this city tell the people every day that
they will carry the elections In this
State this year, and that the Democrats
are struck dumb with the consciousness
Of their approaching overthrow, still
they harp and complain about not bav-
ing q few worthless negroes placed on
the assessment. One would suppose
when they are so sure they would re-
main content. They do not believe
what they publish themselves, and can
not expect large majority Of the voters
10 do so. After the election is over, and
complete victory won for the Demo-
cratic party, and honest government,
this Radical press will say they carried
the election, but were cheated. II our
men had been assessed we would have
won. Bu'1 our men did not vote. But
we will contest. We would have elect
ed our men. Bat Mr.. Cochran was
sick. We carried the Stste, but were
c'unted out. We have q lsrge majority,
but the Ley Court disfrancbised us.
Our canvass showed q large majority,
but the tax collectors refused to receive
the money. We polled the most votes,
but many deceived us. We counted
en- the whole colored vote, but did not
get 1t. We were sure all negroes were
Republicans, but they are not. We ex-
pected our men would repeat, but they
were caught. We fully expected many
honest voters from Chester County, but
they failed to come. We expected all
the tax receipts Of dead negroes TO be
used by voters from Maryland, but We
failed to personate one, thereby losing
at least one hundred and fifty votes.
We did not expect an honest count, but
we got 1t. We expected our party had
buried the hatchet, but they did not.
We expected our own reserve Of seventy
five thousand IN New. Castle County to
vote, but they did not. We expected
TO create q riot, but failed.
We expected to mark poor mems tick
cts ard discharge them II they were not
voted, but the law WAS against US, Each
ticket must be six inches long, and three
inches wide upon white paper, and no
mark Of any kind can be put upon the
inside or oussi6. VI SO 1t ls not counted
Sea chapter 328, Laws OF Delaware
passed at Dover, April 9th, 1881. We
fully expected to carry the State by
abusing Senator Salisbury but, the peo
pie did not believe US we expected al
temperance democrats to support us be
cause DIR. BRbcock abused Sepa.OI
Byard, but we failed to make the people
believe us we expected thA M0F1lint
Netcs would help our cause, but we tint
he Is not what we expected, we expect
ed to elect SIX members Of the Lew
Court, but we did not elect oda; we ex
pectsd the Neal case to make us five
buuo.ed votes, but 1t did not; we ex
peeted the OLD city RUG TO whip in, 6u
It did not; We expected ProBono T Publict
would not kick, but be did; we expect
Cd to carry Brandywine hundred, bu
failed; we expected to create trouble II
the democratic party, bGt were disap
polluted; We expected furnell Lynol
would b. cut by democrats, but was rot
we expected aid from We hinEton, bu
they could not see it.
TIE above is a good text for the re
puhlicans. We anticipate what they
will need next morning aiter the cleo
ton. Old General Apathy will be IL
demand as well as old negligence. 1t Il
a shame that there Is to be found IL
Wilmington some one thousand votert
who refuse to become Z sessed, they ap
pear 10 care nothing for the ciGJ's inter
est, and refuse to become voters. The
Law ID plain and stands ready to receive
all for i've long months. We are glad
to knew these stav at home people are
not democrats. They must be some re.
lation to Roscoe's Purp, ready to emi.
CRATE at any time.
DEMOCRAT.
