that he was rightly entitled to a vote
he simply went to an adjoining ward

But nobody was defrauded by his

Tomorrow will be the last oppor-

tion is held, and the voter who has
not already been registered and will
not register tomorrow, cannot vote
for Mayor and other city officers.
The registration for the first day has
been very lasge ono, 1000 more than
on tho first days registration, three
year ago, aud il the same proportion
keeps up tomorrow the largest city
vote ever poiled will be cast on the
sixth OF Juno. Whatever is done It is
evident that the election of Mayor
will not go by default anyhow. This
is as it should be in municipal cleo
tlon. Every citizen OF Wilmington is
more or loss Interested In the govern
ment Of the city, and should exercise
an active and intelligent choice in the
selection OF it's rulers.
Especially should this be the case
with the best and most Intelligent citi-
zens. The others are almost sure to
vote anyhow, anu so much The greater
reason remains why the better ele-
ment shol;ld vote. Tho people are ex-
ceedingly fortunate in having two very
highly qualified and respectable gem
tlemen as opposing candidates for
Mayor. Aside from the party iniu-
enees thnt surround DIR. Springer there
is no reason why lie should not make u
good Mayor, but unfortunately vote
cannot be east for him that does not
directly endorse the party as led and
run by Donahoe, Lee, Quinn, Pagan,
City Auditor Mitchell, and tho screw-
driver man OF the Tenth. ward. The
people do not want municipal govern
inent from this source. It is very un-
fortunate for'Dr. Springer that ho is
