The record of last Saturdays municipal
election il one that is signally useful for
the purpose of demonstrating the power
of the absentee voter from every direction
is heard the remark that the cause 81 tue
Democratic defeat was apathy This is OF
course true to some extent. But ON close
scrutiny of the story &C the day which
with little study graphically reveals itself
in the accompanying tables of figures. in
Guiding those OF last November rs against
Saturdays vote, no other argument is de-
ducible than that the main cause of the
Democratic defeat Is to be found III the
fact OF intentional absenteeism from the
polls by large numbers of voters, rather
than to any apathy in the outcome Of the
election.
For instance who over heard of apathy
among the Democratic voters Of the Tenth
ward? On saturday night the returns
showed a falling off Of not far from lOO in
that ward.
The story from other Democratic pre-
cincts is similar. The result in detail IS

been raised This decision was announced
at a meeting held last evening, When the
project was abandoned. Fathers Falun

More Money for Newark schools.

SpecihlC Correspondent OF Gazette ana journal
NEWARK, June 5.--During the last SEES.
sion of the Legislature the Newark school
districts were considerably benefited under
an act entitled An act for the relief Of
school districts Nos. 80 and Al" which in
creases the districts to four, the two new
ones being the fractional numbers 39l and
~. This was done that the schools here
could receive a larger amount per year
from the state school fund AS each dis
trict has received heretofore $50, the New
ark school will now receive 5000, or twice
as much as under the old law. This, how.
ever, is said To be somewhat doubt
full, inasmuch as the additional amount
to be appropriated this year to
the Wilmington schools may necessi
tate the scaling down of the amount
to be given each district. 1t appears that
this plan of increasing the number Of dis
tricts was accomplished by quite number
Of school bourds through legislative enact
ment last spring, and that it was generally
done ''on the sly or, at least, with the
least possible ado.
