Aed people would like to
Enos wD - this has to do with disfran.
cniseme Al In Delaware. What com.
psfisV' can be made between State

EoD outnumber the females and STATED
u - New Hampshire whore the females
Intnumber the males What has New
Hampshire 70 do with the thousands Of !
, disffanohised voters OF Delaware, dis
franchised BY the assessment laws of
1873, passed ct time when the colored /
voters had just begun TO vote and for |
the express purpose of counteracting |
that vote, not by honest Democrat, |
woes, but by laws the purposes OF
which are 80 easily understood that
those who have the execution OF them,
all being Of one party, know what isl
Nxpected Of them and never fail 10 do
their part
What does 1t signify If the Rspubli.
O8ao va AoaoN NAo AAo IN 1901 pOIA No
per cent. Of the vote of the STATE when
on IN honest assessment and full vote
they would have polled So per cent.
We fail to see argument in the position
taken by Mr.. Bayard's organ. The
Democrats can we'll afford 70 let the
Republicans poll 43 per cent. Of the
vote Of the State, or even As per cent. Of
the vote and still be on the winning
side, sin have suffi Client margin left to
carry every county In the State and
make q Legislature solidly Democratic
What the Republicans complain oils
the 10 additional per cent. ON the vote
shat they would cass II permitted
through the operations OF tue assess
ment laws 70 cast. There Is the real
ground Of complaint. What does II
matter II the Democrats did only poll
463 votes ont OF every 1000 votes cast,
II that we're all the votes they haa tc
oast2 But it Is said that only 804
votes out of every Thousand votes wer,
cast in that State. Well, suppose thi
20 be true, does 1t follow that ali WHIT
do not vote In that State are Demo.
cEAts?
The contrary Is the fact in the case
The larger the vote cast in New Hamp
shire, the larger the Republican ma
jority. The total vote in 1880 was SO
363, and the Republican majority va
3344. The total vote in 1884 was "a,
$50 and the Republican majority wa
1913. The election returns also sho,
that In 1880, when the Republican
had 1874 majority, the Democrat
pollNd the largest vote in their history
L..
only had 1,943 majority, the Dem,
cratic vots was &c. 1873, falling OFF {
only 1911.
Where then Is the nnfairness in Ne
Hampshire The Democrats do M
win there, not because they are pr,
vented from voting, for they are no
bat because they have not enough vot.
TO win with. Nobody ever heard
discriminating assessment laws In Ne
Hampshire, while the Discriminate
laws OF Delaware have become q T
proach and a by-word all over Il
States. II the Every Evening al
New York Evening Post, the latt
having for its writer OF Delaware pol
neal articles, renegade Republics
who turned TO be Mr.. Bayard's licl
spittle, would turn their attention
the Southern States they would FL
more apt counterparts for the Delawa
assessment laws than in prowlil
around amongst Northern and Taste
States pervertinR facts to make arg
mont.
They can find those counterparts
South Carolina, Georgia, Alaban
Mississippi and Louisiana. Thsy 6
Democratic States after the fashi
that Delaware IL made . Democrat
State.
As our evening contemporary is
fond Of deducing figures for com paris
and argument, we would recomme
that It try its hand on the vote of A
poquinimink and Blackbird Hundrt
IN 1880, compared with the populati
Of those Hundreds the same year. Tn
are both Democratic hundreds, uC
agricultural hundreds and only G
imagin ary line divides them in (.
only few years ago they both c,
stttuted one hundred. 1t would
interesting to know by what proc
one vote in every 3-5 was cast in
paquiDimiEk and only one In every
in Black bird, or Why one in every
should be cass in Mil Greek a
only one In every So should be C
10 St. Georges. All these differen
are brought about ny Mr. Btysr
patent excursion aDdcontracging
ssssment laws of Delaware.
The honest and full woe OF Della
is about the Mill Creek basic.
Democratic lieutenant who had cha
OF Appoquiuimink seems 10 b
worked Bis field for all IL Was woI
It Is hard 10 Sea now such y wonder
result ould be brought about IN
By the adoption OF tue Fourth W
Cincinnati plan, or the Tenth "
plan OF this city. The Black bird II
tenant seams 10 have 1atis6ed him
in disfranchising the Republicans W
out after wards having them persons
for the Democratic. These wonder
results, these discrepancies, these
ferenoes all bnt chow the wonde
elasticity and quito ONE there Is in
Delaware assessment laws.
