tee, and very general desire on the
part of many Democrats, that the en-
tire nomination be set aside and a new
one ordered. There is also a demand
that the county committee proceed
against some of the election officers in
this city, and prosecute them for their
evident disregard of the plain provis-
ions of the primary election law.

TAX RECEIPTs.- political lead
ers of both parties seem to have a
plenty of tax receipts, one party nat
urally learning from the tactics of the
other. The Dover correspondent of
the EUery Ereaiag, in speaking of the
registration, says:
That the Republicans are making a
desperate effort to get every voter
| registered, was proven by the large
number of negroes at the registration
headquarters. Tax receipts were
abundant, and many of them were of a
very suspicious character
The receipts in question bore the
signature Of Louis Schabinger, late
collector of East Dover hundred, and
were dated and signed with blue,
indeible pencil, while the name Of the
holder was written in the body of the
receipt with ink, and was pronounced
to be in different handwriting.
There seem to be many of these
receipts, and in some instances they
were accepted by registrars. They
are dated in February. 1891, and for
taxes of 1890, and are mostly in the
hands of negroes.
Beniah Watson, United States Dis
trict Attorney, and wOuld-be United
States Senator openly says he bought
81 500 worth of tax receipts in bulk.
He saws the money was subscribed by
local Republicans and Federal officials.
Beniah and Joshua Parker, colored,
attend the offices and deal out the
receipts, and insist that they are legit-
mate and that the holders must he
registered.

The TAX RECEIPT BUsINEss.--Iu In
the early part of the year, there was
quite an ado over the purchase of4.OOC
tax receipts of the collectors, for voters
who had not paid their taxes, the col.
lectors having that much more money
to turn into the county treasury. A
similar instance occurred in Cedar
Creek hundred, Sussex county, Hon.
Iohn w. Causey purchasing Ill tax
receipts in bulk. A Wilmington paper
in noting the two incidents, saws:
What IS the difference between the
two Nobody denies that Mr.. Causev
paid the full amount called for on the
lace OF the receipts. So did the Re.
publican committee in Wilmington,
pay the full amount of the face of the
receipts they got from Doughertv and
Mckee. The only difference was that
Causey paid the money and theu
waited uhtii last Saturday for the
receipts, while the Wilmington com.
mittee got their receipts when thew
paid the money. This difference Is
immaterjal, as chief Justice Comepvs
decided in the mandamus case TO com.
pei DougheFty and Mckee to acceDt
powers OF attorney, ia the payment OF
taxes, that it was lawful To accent
taxes in bulk or in any other wav
also by power of attorney, but that
the collector could either give the
receipt to u representative or the indi.
vidual himself for whom taxes were
paid. In accordance with this decision
the collectors, Messrs. Dougherty and
Mckee took the taxes and handed
the receipts over to the committee
fully filled up, signed and stamped
correctly.
In accordance with this decision
Collector Johnson, of Cedar Creek hun
dred, accepted the money for Ill taz
receipts from Mr.. Causey, but did not
deliver the receipts to him until lasl
Saturday, when Mr. Causey got them
and doled them out to the Democrats
to whom they belonged, so that the,
could get registered. This transaction
on the part Of Mr.. Causey we Womb
think about completely takes the
stiffenine out Of the opposition made
by the Democrats to accepting Dough
eFty and Mckee tax-receipts as being
illegal,

INDEPENDENT VOTERs.-We are
told that more Independent voters are
needed to purify politics and it is
doubtless true. The demand of party
is TO close the eyes, drown conscience,
and swallow whatever seems expedient
to advance party interests. We are
told that the party that adopts Sun.
day School methods is sure to be
defeated. This, too, is dohtless true,
because of the scarcity of independent
voters. If every honest, Christian
voter would Systematically and quietly
refuse to vote for che unfit candidate,
the candidate who is known to be a
political trickster, bribe-taker or
bribe-giver, which would include all
who buy and sell votes and political
influence, the political atmosphere
would soon be clearer and purer.-

oysters are reported very plentiful,
both in the Mispillion river and on the
bars below and above the rivers
mouth. This is attributable to the
fact that there have been no severe
easterly storms at the season when the
oyster is spatting-when thus favored
it multiplies beyond calculation, the
spat attaching itself near where the
parent oyster spawns. This will
account for the abundance of the little
oysters found on the pebbly bars above
and below the mouth of the river.

The ne9O CARPETS make their
deepest SaIaam to SEPTEMBER
and TO y0u.
You are used to seeing
dainty designs and delicate
tints in the Administers and
Wiltons. Come prepared to
have any Carpet memory
eclipsed by these latest lowell
nesses.
Such patterns Such color
ings. Surely Oriental art has
cast its exquisite sunlight over
all these things.
The Carpet thought has
been to get an unmatchable
gathering of these fine goods.
Many of the designs, most Of
them, indeed, cannot be shown
by any other house in town.
We have the pick and choice
of the Creamiest work of the
leading carpet makers.
From the Bigelow Company
come Administers, Wiltons
and Brussels.
From the Lowell Company
come Wiltons, Brussels and
Ingrains.
THE work of both is so celebrated for quality
and for beauty and originality of design, that
limitations would abound if it were possible. 1t
isn't. The word "BigelOw' in the one case, and
Lowell in the other, is woven at frequent inter-
walls in the back of all their higher grade car
pets
From Alex. Smith & Sons
come Administers, Moquettes
and Tapestries.
Wherever the best could be
had to your advantage and to
ours, there have we done the
choosing.
We could never before show
you carpets SO easily and sat
isfactorily. Sit at your ease.
Ample samples with borders,
if SO be, will be spread so that
you can see a dozen patterns
at once with less strain than
when you saw two in the old |
way.

uttered notes on behalf of the firm which

As result, Mr.. Thompson says, he came

recognize these transfers or allow votes to
be cast on this stock at the annual cleo
ton, on the ground that Mr.. Thompson
owed the bank on the notes referred TO.
Mr. Thompson alleges that he offered GER
titicates of deposit to the amount of the
notes, but says they were not accepted
and ne was debarred from voting. The
officers IN charge of the bank elected one
