FRAUD FULLY EXPOSED.
THE DEEP LAID REPUBLICAN,
SCHEMES SHOWN UP.
THE MEETING AT NEW CASTLE.
Captain Gallagher Promised Good OfIlce
in Case the Republicans Carry the City
The Baltimore Detectives. A

Having thronged the city with negro re-
peaters to vote at the election tomorrow,
the Republicans TO cover up their own in
iquity and Reconsideration from the desper-
ate game they have afoot, have started the
report that the Democrats have arranged
with hundreds of Baltimore roughs to come
here and carry the election. The fact that
the town has been completely colonized with
blacks as fully shown in the GAZETTE of
yesterday, shows how insincere and hypo-
critical this cry Of fraud is. The NeIcs oftO-day
denies the statements I'm the GAZETTE
that colored men had been imported in
droves to vote Illegally under assumed
names. The truth of what the GAZETTE
said had been fully proved before any pub
lication was made, and this paper has more
proof to offer ON that point to-day, and such
proof as will not be likely to be denied.
DRUMMING UP THE DARKIEs.
Last night a number of Republicans went
to New Castle to get blacks to come to VIII
mington from that place, and a meeting was
held in the colored school house at that
place. 1t was similar in its character to
the one held over Third street bridge the
night before.
The meeting was attended by a large
number of New Castle negroes, and was en-
gineered by that well known manipulation of
the colored vote, Peter 8. Blake. In addition
to him several white men were present from
Wilmington, and it is asserted that the
Deputy Collector of the Port of New Castle
was also on hand.
The object of the gathering was to get the
colored men of New Castle to come to viii
mington and vote for Wales for Mayor ON
Saturday, and inducements of a glowing
nature We're held out to them to put in an
appearance and vote as many times as they
could.
During the evening speeches of stirring
character were made ard one of the argu-
ments held out was that Garfield was shot
by the Democrats. Inspectors and window
men should keep sharp lookout for New
Castle blacks at the poll tomorrow.
THE BALTIMORE DETECTIVES.
The presence of Detective West of Balt-
more and IL men who are to be quartered
at the Clayton House would seem to indi-
cate that the Republicans are playing even a
deeper game than may be expected from the
mere importation of negroes.
The fact that any arrangements have been
made with men in Baltimore or anywhere
else to come to Wilmington and repeat at
the election is emphatically denied by the
Democratic leaders, and it is charged that
the story has simply been started to divert
attention from Republican rascality. Demo-
Gratis will do well, however, to see that the
trained "spotters" under Detective West are
watched as well as the imported negroes,
and to be watchful lest a system of riot and
bloodshed is not inaugurated the first time
a negro's fraudulent vote is challenged.
A GALLAGHER COUNCIL.
The Republican organ this morning
denounces Captain Gallagher in unmeasured
terms for his misrule OF the Water Depart
ment aud declares that he will never be
placed in office again. The campaign is
intensely a Gallagher campaign. He is
directing affairs generally and doing all in
his power to elect the councilmanic ticket
which he has nominated. That he will be
rewarded no sensible man will doubt.
Chairman McLear is credited with saying
that in the whole Republican ticket for
Council only two are in favor of Gallagher
Leighton Grimes in the Second ward and
David Stevenson in the Sixth. It is
known that Thomas johnson has declared
himself in favor of Gallagher, that Levi
Garrett in the Seventh ward was nominated
through Gallagher's friends, and that in
nearly every ward pledges of allegiance to
the men composing the the old ring were
forced from candidates before they were
nominated.
Further than this here is statement of
fact that capnot be denied: Some time ago
during consultation between the chairman
of the Republican committee and the three
candidates heading the Republican
ticket, at which certain matters were
arranged, it was stated and agreed to
by the Others that the captain would have to
be provided for with an office after the
election. And yet the News denies that
Gallagher will be given any show in the
distribution of official DatrOnape
