A DishOopst Sfurt-

Nn.hing seems moro certain now
than that the Democratic le ,ders in.
tend to carry Delaware for their party
ut The next election by fraud and un-
fair means, knowing that they cannot
carry 1t on II fair and full vote OF the
rsopie. The Indications of this pur-
pose are seen in cN-SeCrOtary Bayard
coming promptly to the front TO give
directions to the new registration and
election laws, aud tic appointment of
eX-assessor Frank A. MeUioskey OF the
Second district In which the Tenth
board OF the Department OF Elections
for State and county elections. In
1873, when the late infamous ASSESS
ment laws were passed, Mr.. Bayard at
the first opportunity appeared on the
pthiic rostrum to tell the people that
they We're good laws, much better than
such laws in other surrounding States
aad that voters had no difficulty under
the laws to qualify to vote.
Everybody that lived through those
times knows how difficult il was for
Republicans to qualify, and how easy
it was for Democrats to qualify, or
rather to vote without qualifying.
Mr. Bayard comes to the front again
IN sol when now election laws have
been passed to give direction to the
laws. He has not got such high opin-
ion now of the law OF 1873 that carried
him over the stream so often, Since
the Republicans we're successful under
the law. carried the legislature in 1885
and New Castle County in 1890, the laws
which MIR. Baydrd had held up before
the people TO be the very embodiment
of fairness, somehow suddenly lost
all charms. He all at once discovered
ts,.ntthey had become ciTete, that many
errors arose under them, und that the
collectors did not in many cases make
honest returns OF the money they col
lected. Yes, thC.old laws had failed to
bring Democratic victories any more,
aud they sourel to Mr. Bayards taste.
He wanted them no more, but has
turned smilingly to the new laws, and
he smiles only upon them so far as he
thiuk4 he can turn them to Democru.
tic account.
We refer to these condolences that
the people may fully understand what
lies before them. Could any honest
intent ever have resulted in appoint.
ing Frank A. McCIoskey. as clerk
OF the new Election Department? AS
well might the department nave suid
that they meant to have the elections
honestly conducted had thcy appoint,
od William H. Leo. The start of is a
bad one, and indicates that the head
quarters OF the Election Department
are to be the rendezvous of the most
reckless and desperate Democratic
politicians in tho city. As Patrick
Neary engineered tho appointment, So
Patrick Spary will rln the ranch. Fer
sonally, both Mr. MrCloslsey and MIR
Henry arc clever, allabe and sociablc
but as Democratic politicians they are
to be feared.
