The Next Republican CampaIKn


not indicate the candidate. Whoever
he is he will spring from the people, anu
for the first time in many years will
receive the united and solid support Of
the Republican party. The conditions
have been changed and there are now
no warning factions over the Federal
Off ces, knowing full well that when
change La made those Offices will fall In
to the laps OF the Democrats To be-
gin with, then, the Republican party
will be united. In the next place TO be
successful 1t must possess the confidence
and have the support Of half the voters
In the State. Uponaa full assessm ent,

more, we would have no doubt In the /
world Of It's success. But 1t Is well \
known fact that full assessment |

Democratic ASSESSORS are elected the |
Republicans who are assessed will, by
the well known legerdemain OF Demo- |
cratic collectors OF taxes not be per-
mitted to qualify TO vote, and that by |
the Tenth ward tactics lately intro
duced, by which more Democratic
votes are cast than there are voters of
all politics In the ward, no fair assess

will DO permitted. The election laws
have been too carefully studied and
manipulated and pronor noed good by
that great examplar Of Democratic
honesty, Secretary Bsyard, TO hope for
q free and fair election. Then what
hope can the Republicans have of sue
cess in the next election. They can
have none except through the aid they
may expect through and from the
action Of honest Democrats, who will
have come to the conclusion that q
political revolution Is needed in Della
ware. We believe there are more
Democrats now OF this way OF thinking
than there have been in the past for
many years.
Gradually the manipulation of the
Republican vote, which is the same az
disfranchisement, has an effect upon
those who pay the taxes. For every
Thousand dollars out Of which the
State has been cheated that five nun.
dred Republicans may be cheated ont
of their votes, those who pay the taxes
must pay the thousand dollars.
1t Is q good sign to see people
waking up In this particular sense AZ
was evident at the late meeting Of the
Board OF trade where the tax on manu-
facturors was represented to be &c
onerous that 1t could with difficulty b,
borne and must result finally In driving
manufacturers out Of the State. Wer
In
each pay his tax, there would be n
need of this onerous tax on manufac
