FRAUDS TO Be INVESTIGATED.
The Senate to Look Into the Eleo-
ton In This City.

Messrs. Armstrong and Brockson Have
Abandoned Their Contest, But the
Legislature VIII Probably he Asked
to Investigate the Republican Election
Frauds In Wilmington.
BY reason of the difficulty of conduct
ing an election contest under the laws
of this State, Theodore f. Armstrong Of
Newark, and Richard Broc1son of
Blackbird, who were Democratic candi-
dates for State senators at the last gem
eral election, have decided not to con-
test the election of John Pilling and
James II. McMullin, as they at first in
tended. The difficulty does not consist
in proving that illegal votes were cast at
the election, but in proving for whom
they were cast, as the secrecy of the bal
lot is regarded as inviolate in this State,
and there is no way of compelling those
who may he proved to have voted ille-
gally TO tell for whom their ballots were
cast. Thus, it might be possible to prove
many illegal votes and yet be prevented
from making this proof applicable to
the issue of the contest.
But during the past few days steps
have been taken to bring the matter be-
fore the General Assembly, with d view
to investigating the conduct of the last
general election in this city and deter
mining upon some plan of remedying
the wrong which many Democrats claim
was then perpetrated against their party
and its candidates. "Each house." says
the constitution of Delaware in the arti-
Gle referring to the General Assembly,
"shall be judge of the elections, returns
and qualifications of its own members. y
On this ground, it is held, the Legisla-
ture, upon petition or memorial duly
presented, can take cognizance of
charges of fraud in the election and APP
point committee of investigation.
Should the result of the committees
labors Justify such action, it is held that
the Legislature can refuse to seat the
members whose titles are thus involved
in doubt and order special elections to
fill the vacancies.
Such a memorial will be presented to
the Senate and an investigation asked.
The memorial will be signed by Messrs.
Armstrong and Brockson and also by
the members of the New Castle county
Democrat tic executive committee. Emf
nent Democratic counsel, it is said, will
support the memorial and aid the COM
mittee in investigation.I 1t has not vet been
decided whether the Democratic can
didates for the House will be included in
the memorial and an investigation also
asked of that body.

It does, in every line of business, and
especially in compromising and preparing
medicines. This is illustrated in the great
superiority of Hoods Sarsaparlla over
other preparations as shown by the re-
markable cures it has accomplished.
The head Of the firm of @. ]. Hood & Co.
is a thoroughly competent and experienced
pharmacist, having devoted his whole life
to the study and actual preparation of
medicines. He is also member Of the
Massachusetts and American Pharma-
ceutical Associations, and continues
actively devoted to supervising the
preparation of and managing the business
connected with Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Hence the superiority and peculiar
merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla is built upon
the most substantial foundation, In its
preparation there is represented all the
knowledge which modern research in
medical science has developed, combined
with long experience FRAMEWORK and ex-
pertinent. It is only necessary to give this
medicine a fair trial to realize its great
curative value.

to step down and out while the elec-
 tors of Nebraska are again to pro-
 nounce judgment as to their execu- tive officers.
 This is an occasion for the Demo- crats of Nebraska to seize for the benefit of the taX-burdcncd people of that State. 1t is fortunate for the national Democracy that the party in Nebraska has not been afraid to express it's views upon the great is- sue which Is to be discussed and in part decided by the State campaIgns this year. There has been no yield- ing to the protection idea among the Democrats of Nebraska, and in tue contest which will ensuc because of the new discovery of the peoples rights they will meet their opponents with a clear denunciation of the sys- ttnl WHICH 1dS Dttll Hidut' lilt liiStlu- ment of torture to their common wealth. In holding this position the Nebraska Democrats have won hosts of allies from the ranks of the old party. They are largely of the men who helped make Nebraska free State, and they understand in what manner the Republican party has been swept from its original purpose by the new oligarchy of protected barons. For years they have come up to Republican national conven tions with a determination to bring their party back to it's original prln- ciples. Many of them left Chicago in 1888 with an avowal that they had been fooled for the last time by the advocates of protection. The vote last year proved how we'll they had kept their pledge, The new trial may place another Western State in the Democratic column and reduce the strength of monopoly in the con test next year.
