an eultOfl0l OF the EVERY hVenlnk ON
Tuesday;
"Ths city Of Wilmington went fer
Cleveland and Thurman and tariff re-
form on Tuesday by p urAllty Of ,7l2.
Four years. ago Blaine carried the city
by 76. II ir doubtful II this Democratic
gain OF 767 in . community of not
more than 60,O00 people, has been
equAled In tha whole United 6tetes."
1t 10 strange that q reputable paper
Ike the Every Evening would pnblish
guch a paragraph. fortunately nobody
but those who never read nor ref !ot
sill be deceived with the statement.
For the sake Of impA't nR correct infOr-
no alton, Q comparieon 10 made bst~"--
, .hne e'"s ~ OF =. ----suKruu now, When II
has population OF 90, 900, and Its vote
Of four years ago, when It's population
was not more than $4,000. WHAT was
the vote of the city last Tuesday? Here
Il is:

lObAl. ........,.....Is.s.s d. .4oU
The Democratic plurality upon this
vote is ,706, or In the Deighborhood OF
what 10 claimed by the Every Evening
Now then let US turn back four years
and see what vote Wilmington cast In
1884:
ID lmoorAtic vote. 4,776
Republican vote. te.............. b,246
lOtA'. ...',................ 0.OS2
The above vote WAS for Col oner, which
WAS the highest. Now then here In
hat Is disclosed.
In 1884. with population Of 80, coo,
he vote NAs 10,022
In 1883. with . population Of GO. 900,
The vote RAs $3.50.
The greater the population the less
tte vots cast Esems to be the theory Of
the Every Evening, as 1t has been
the theory OF the bodtheEn States where
the tmaller the total vote cast the great
or the Democratic majority. For proof
OF this look IS the vote of South Caro-
linA, Georgia, Alabama and Mlssis-
gippi.
