am sick. and only my highest duty,
which is my fealty to the Democratic
party, impe me tc take this course.
The euIct has gone forth. whether
right or wrong, to nominate John T.

There are hundreds OF Democrats In
New Castle County who do not regard

said by those VINO ought TO know and
VINO do know, no doubt, that our hon

given his saIction,if not his authority.

ious prejudice or nativity, but the
above Is too much; and when it is CON

WHO have done this say IL Is making
virtue of necessity. God save the
mark!
+. Jim Toner, they say. is not only an
Htshman and Catholic, but he is more
New Castle. His friends there are
-popularly believed to have sold out
our ticket in that hundred in 1890 and
they are threatening to do it again
unless their leader Is nominated.
Such Ia reason No |.
Secondly Something must be
done for the Catholics or they Will
knife US" Governor Reynolds turned
dnwn Sepator Donahoe for Colen Fer
guSOn, therefore, We must give them
an equivalent on the County ticket.
Good God! Do these men seriously
propose to place before the suilragl> Is
OF the County tho very thing that Gov
ornor Reynolds was afraid to put up
on US by mere appointment? Every
COOL Democrat i'll tho County in his
heart commends the Governor for his
courage and wisdom in turning down
Donahoe. But let us look at Toner'S
claims. We are to swallow him for
Tear his band OF conspirators at New
Cast will sell us OFT. They have done
II once. what proof have We they will
mot do II again? Or suppose Toner Is
nominated, what proof have you or
that his cut.throat band will not knife
us anyhow? Can you ever trust trait.
err Did James Bourke ever come back
tous? Did the election of Thomas Ford
m 1884 silence his brother Peter, or
Keep him true to our principles and
tickets? Did he not knife our ticket
In 1888. and again in 1891? I tell you,
once u traitor. always traitor. Jim
Toner was deputy Sheriff few years
ago. How did he fulfill his trust? He
took prisoners out Of jail at night and
went on spree with them. lie was
discharged in disgrace. Do the pee
pie of New Castle county want such Il
man for Sheriff? Think OF it,
But have better reason, and you
will agree with me know. assert
solemnly that no Catholic can be cleo
ted Sheriff of New Castle County in the
~. II we elect our ticket at all it will
be by a very small maiority. Our
enemies are organized. d3perate and

good, loyal Democrats in this city
/ who will never vote for Catholic, no
matter how good and worthy he is.
They will scratch his name and NO one
can tell what man will do when lie
begins TO scratch his ticket. Toner
cannot be elected II he is nominated.
and indeed, some OF the very men who
say Toner must he nominated to save
New Castle hundred and to hold the
Irish, confess tina he cannot he elected.
IL not such position infamous
In this city there is powerful fac
ton of Irishmeu who ars dead oppos.

him. viii they SUPPORT him when

LET us vote for Fred kienle; he ia a
Catholic and German; thn Irish will
support him for his religion aui the
Americans because lbs Is not ali IliStl-
man, and because the Gnrman5 never
had Sheriff." All gentleman | wish
this were so, but it IS not. First OF
all Fred kienle belongs to the old

oil dollars for his meat sold to the
Aimshouse and tho jail. lis IS ono OF
the. worst OF hu old poorEouae and

But wish to emphasize in Kienlle's
