In q little more than week the Re-
publican nomination tor sheriff and
coroner will take place, when all Re
publicans should go TO the polls and
vote. Fortunately there arc but two
candidates for sheriff, the best-pay ing
Office in the county, and between them
and their friends there is the best OF
feeling. No mistake can be made with
either OF them. Both are true and
tried Republicans, which neither defeat
nor success will change. Both have
the ability to insure TN able admins
tration oi the office II elected. Still it
10 tho duty OF Republicans to go and
vote for one or the other. Ii will not
do in this election 10 say, "Oh, well,
one is as good as the other, and don't
care which Is nominated. Either will
do me-" While this sentiment 10 a
certain sense is true, yet it does no,
fulfill the requirements OF a Republican
ut the present time. During The war
you were Union men at home aud
voted straight and right for the Union
every time, but this was not all that
was required. The Government want
cd soldiers. men to go 10 the front,
where they had to fight as well as
vote. This is what the Republican
party now wants. II wants men to 20
to the polls and vote, not to stay at
home and say they are satisfied, no
matter which way II goes. There is
nothing like standing up to be
counted.
Thus far in the campsisn the Re
publicans have made brave fight and
the prestige OF victory is on their side.
They fought the tax collectors, the
men appointed by tie Levy Court mo-
to collect Republican roll taxes from
the first o. October 10 the first ol
March In trying to get Republican
po|f taxes paid. They faced the COL
lectors, put up with insult and abuses,
lost time and lost money, went before
courts only to be turned down, fought
the Levy Court day by day and inch
by inch, and succeeded at last in get.
ting enough Republicans qualified to
be al the Bourbon Democrats at the
polls il only every m n will do his
duty not only en- the general election
day in November, but at the nomina-
lion elections. A large vote at the
nomination means u larger vote al the
general election. The moral effect OF
large vote on next Saturday q weeh
hence will spread dismay and con
Bternation in the Democratic ranks
They try to make the people believ,
that they will carry the County by
1000 majority. and that they will
Lave 1000 majority In Wilmington.
Never mind such bluster. 1t is al
fer effect. They know very well they
cannot do anything Of the kind. There
are enough Republicans now 4ualiiieC
to meet the Democrats vote TO vote, NJ
matter If they vote their whole torc,
qualified or disqualified, and there ar.
thousands OF Republicans on the new
assessment yet TO qualify. 1t Is no
expected that their taxes will be al
paid but there will be enough paid /
carry the Republican ticket through
unless the Levy Courts honest collec
tors lock themselvcs up where nobod
can see them or get at them. A Re
publican vote on nomination day larg
er than the Democrats can poll, wi
start the latter on the run and ther
will lie no trouble then in keeping u
ther un until November. Though ther
are but two candidates for sheriff thel
are five for the office OF coroner. II
voters here have larger range
choice, but as with sheriff either
them ls worthy of the nomination, al
no mistake can be made. Only 20
the nomination election and vote, tn
Is oil that is required OF Republican
lust now.
