The official votsof this county on Tues
day week illustrates the fact that the Dem.
ocrats made strong and vigorous protest
at the polls against the reelection of II.
D. Hickman to the levy court. The tab
ulated retnrnB printed elsewhere show
that Hickman was cut by his party in
svsry ward in this city except one, and
N every hundred in the county. Thetotal
lity vote gives the Democratic electoral
ioket 5,035, and majority OF INA.
dickman's total vote in tine city is 4, 405
nd his majority is 567 over his COMPETE
or, falling off Of over two-thirds in
comparison with the head OF the ticket.
Nc country votera repudiate Hickman,
nd give Gallagher clear majority in
he several hundreds Of 1888, while the
head Of the Democratic ticket has o
ltrnight majority Of 625. This shows
that in tbo 10 hundreds Of this
pounty outside of Wilmington there
are 1888 Democrats who emphatically
disapprove Of doodle" methods in public
affairs. In the entire county, Including
Wilmington, the levy csurtman lost 1868
Democratic votes. In this city Hickman
fell behind the head Of his ticket d3 in
the First ward; "A in the Second; 81 in
the Third; AZ in the Fourth; SO in the
Fifth, SO in the Sixth; 115 in the Seventh,
(the ward in which he iives); GO IN The
Eighth, (elose TO his home); As in the
Ninth, II in the Tenth, 20 in the Twelfth;
and he ran two ahead in the Eleventh.
Hickman ran behind his ticket in every
polling district in the county as Is shown
in comparison with the head OF his ticket,
the figures following showing the losses
Biandywine-East, 10; Brsndywine--
West, "a; Ohristiana-North, 81; Christi

Taking into consideration that Kick
man had the support and cooperation o.
every county othcer with the exception o.
half dozen poor trustees and three OF
toukmembeys Of the levy court Including
tax collectors, alnshousa attaches, scores
OF people who have furnished auppiiel
TO the almshouse, and various builders
chad been promised county work, Mr..
'aiekman's Tebuke is severe and EN-
phatic. He was saved downright ant
crushing defeat through the aid Of .ht

Now that tho Republicans have carried
their Legislative ticket in this State, the
following plank from the platform
adopted by their State convention in
Dover, September 20th, makes very in
teresting reading
Resolued, That we believe that the will of
the people ia supreme In making or amend
ing the fundamental law Of the State, and
that no convention should be called Tor that
purpose but by the authority OF the people,
and 1t Is the sense Of this body that the
large majority OF votes cast for O conver-
tion at the special election held on the first
Tuesday Of November, 1887, is the proper
evidence OF this will OF the people In this

Delaware gazette and state journal. (Wilmington, Del.) 1883-1902, 1888-11-15

Il is settled now that the Republican
party is in tho saddle--that after March
80 there. will be Republican President
and Congress Republican in both
houses. In tine House of Representatives
the Republicans will have o majority of
somewhere between Is and 80 members.
In the Senate, the New York Times says,
q Republican senator from West Virginia
will give that party majority of 4. Even,
rs the Times puts It, ''if the terms by
which the Republicans succeeded in
Delaware call for saulsbury's reelection"
IA compact which perhaps nobody
imagines would be carried out--the Re-
publioans would still control the Senate.
So that the next national administration
will go into power entirely unhandi-
capped.
Since President Cleveland has been de-
feated, We think all tariff roformers will
be glad of this, With a Republican
PresidenE and Democratic Congress, or
a Congress Democratic in one house,
there could have been nothing done. II
would have been, as it has been for the
past year between the existing hostile
houses, game OF obstruction and cross
purposes. As it is, with the power and
responsibility resting solely on one politi-
cal party there can be no excuse for mao
ton. Something must be done and the
Republicans know 1t as well as the DEM
oerats. No nation can stand forever a
system OF taxation that is draining the
peoples pockets of BIC, 000,0 600 more per
month than the government has any leRi-
innate use for. No nation will stand it,,
least OF oil nation where the people are
supreme.
Therefore we are prepared to believe
that Mr.. Hsrrison's fTEt important official
act will be to call an extra session Of
Congress for the express purpose Of re.
ducing the burplus-the very thing that
the Republican Senate has determinedls
prevented an otherwise Democratic ad
rninistration from doing. WhyP No,
because even the pretended party of pro.
lection could shut its eyes 10 the neces
sity Of outting down taxation with oil
their inslncerity and bombass even 'pro.
tectionistsn could not possibly be OF heart
so foolishly blind-hut because they
wanted the credit of doing this very
thing themselves. To be sure their plat
form calls, not for the reduction OF taxa
ton but for the eKtrayagant expenditure
of the money as fast as it comes in. Blu
we predict that they will not venture
now that the whole responsibility viii
rest upon them-to carry out this pro
graulme. They must fall back upon tn
common sense plan--that the only way :
reduce is TO reducs-sud when they hay
done this they will find themselves cor
fronted with the same question that th
Democrats hsye had to faoe--shall We n
duce on raw materials and the neoessarie
Of life, or ahall we cut down the tax 0
luxuries and supernuities
