CAN 10 reflex OF public sentiment, rs
we believe 10 Ia for that part OF New
Castle County, then the Republicans
Of the county would not be justihable /
in laying down their arms and making
no vigorous contest. 1t must be said
for the credit of Appoquinimink and
Black oird Hundreds that they are the |
only Two Hundreds In the county that
Of late years show steady Republican
gains. Republicans there have not
had the same diff ,ulty In qualifying
70 vote that they have had In Hundreds
farther up the county, either because
there 10 more liberal spirit exercised
towards them by their opponents, or
because the collectors OF these Hun
dreds still believe in the old time doc
trine OF both parties, that the duty OF
TAX collectors 10 to collect tho taxes
and no. to d!ssran chise Republicans by
making the payment Of taxes diff
cult thing TO do.
We agree with our correspondent In

voters TO the Republican party. That
some Q! :hem for one reason or another
voted the Democratic ticket cannot be
doubted, but while hundreds OF white
men have no political opinions Of their
own only as Influenced by pecuniary
considerations, can 1t be expected that
every colored voter is Immaculate
There are some colored Voters who are
like hundreds OF white voters, they go
with the side that wins, especially II
that side pays them the best. But as Q
mass the colored voters have been
solidly with the Republican party and
will still maintain that position In the
future. Because few colored men
are Influenced by Democratic money
and Democratic promises gives no rea'
son 10 s.igmatise all the others with In
gratitude and disloyalty.
We hea. q great desire expressed by
some Republicans, that the colored
line" may be broken, and that the col
ored vote would divide, one half OF it to
20 to the Democrats and the other hal
TO the Republicans. This would be 9
very nice arrangement If 1t could b
carried out, but the day has not CONT
yet when political parties can dispose
of the free will, the franchise, the feel
ing and the conscience Of voters as they
do.of inapimate merchandise. The col
ored vote will not divide upon any
basis Of mere convenience TO politicA
parties II Is an indivisible quantity
Democracy may knock off o few chip
here and there but they cannot affec
the mass. They have tried this In al
the States Of the South, and have onl
succeeded in keeping the colored ma
from voting while they have not in
creased the vote OF their own party
To be pla!r we will say that the homer
colored voters cannot be bought b
D,m 9cra:!c money and neither ca
they be driven into the Democrat
party by Republican tyranny. Afts
the long line Of defeats that have over
taken the Republican party of Dels
