Daily Republican., 1884-08-27
Tho County Canvass.

The prompt and vigorous organiza-
lion, and the selection of George W.
Stone as chairman of the New Castle |
County Republican Executive Commit |
tee, is evidence of a determined oppo-
sition to the Democrats TO subdue the
county to q state of vassalage and in
feriority by constitutional amend
ment, which should be indignantly
spurned by all who love liberty and
equality more than craftsmanship and in
feriority.
Mr.. Stone was chairman of the COM
mittee in 1880, when, with Garfield rs
the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent, the Republicans carried this city
by very handsome tand the county

aware that through the iniquitous as
sessment laws of the State that were
enacted for no other purpose than 70
cheat Republicans out Of their votes a
large number of Republicans are dis
| franchised from voting this year, but
to make up for these there are hundreds
we know positively, and for aught we
know thousands Of Democrats who
will not support the Democratic ticket,
If by so doing they have to support the
constitutional amendment on the ques-
ton of representation.
The present inequality in represen'
tation which was brought about more
by the natural and unexpected increase
of population than by design has been
and can be borne with, but to make
this inequality binding and perpetual
by partisan appeal for n partisan pur.
pose is rather more than large numbers
OF Democrats will submit to. We say
that the Republican ticket can be elect.
