The man who crosses Cleveland's
path in any manner is marked for
slaughter. This is so certain and
has been so abundantly demon
strated that it no longer occasions
any,comment. When it is seen that
Cleveland has it in for any one the
natural enquiry is-what has this
man done to thwart any Of Growers
pet schemes? This is personality in
governmental high places run to
seed.

THERE seems to be law for the de-

are appealed to, as witness the action
of Judge Hare last week in Philadel-
phia where the false Registry list was
purged of illegal names and the persons
who thus intended political fraud put
in process of merited punishment. This
is as it should be. Every person who
thus attempts to defeat an honest elec-

Great interest has been taken in poll

ance to find a number of farmers gath.
cred in the Rrenford stores discussing
the issues of the campaign. Now that
election is over and the intense excite
ment gone, there will be very little to
talk about except the local happenings
of this community. The gathering in
these country stores, after sundown, is
pleasant pastime during the long
winter nights. 1t breaks the mOnOt.
ony of rural life and brings them to-
gether to discuss matters of the day.
The farmers are all through husking

hunt, trusting to luck that they would
come across them somewhere near

about six miles from Brenford. Their
happy find soon pacified their angry

The Election Yesterday.

The election yesterday was one of
more than usual earnestness but at the
same time of more than usual freedom
from clashing. We did not hear of an
angry word or an improper act, as
politics goes. The men interested in
the result-and they seemed intensely
interested-had too much else to think
about to spend words only where votes
were to be obtained. The Democrats,
who act as a committee of the whole
on election day, worked with desper
alton, and the Republicans, who fall
much short of their antagonists in
numbers displayed tact and energy
they never before equalled.
The Democrats had their inniugs
through the day-the Republicans at
| night, when the returns began to come
in. The latter met IN Coopers Hall
and the former at their headquarters
| over J. w. Jones store. The returns
over the wires brought to the Republi.
cans one succession of victories from
every quarter except the extreme south
and they were as consequently jubilant
as the Democrats were depressed. Such
a "land slide" could of course affOrt
no comfort, and they closed up shortl,
after midnight, while the Others kept
open for the telegraphic news unit
near morning. When the intelligence
came that the Republicans had carried

Republicans Carry Delaware.

Though the nearest to us, the most
difficult news to get is from Delaware,
though there is enough to show that
the Republicans have carried New
Castle and Sussex counties and elected
the State ticket by about 1000 majority.
Delaware has gone Republican. Re-
turns show that Sussex county has
gone Republican by 800 majority.
Meager returns have been received
from Kent county, tut the Republican
gains are apparently not sufficient to
overcome the slight Democratic major
ity of 1892. The Democratic majority
in Kent is stated at something over
100.
The Republicans have swept Will
mington; all districts so far heard from
show Republican gains. The majority
in Wilmington is about 700 The
Democrats may have slight majority
in rural New Castle county, but the
whole county will be Republican bv
about 500 majority. This would give
Marvil and Willis, the Republican can.
didates for Governor and Congress, be-
tween 800 and 1000 majority in the
State.
The Republicans will control the
Legislature on joint ballot, thus insur-
ing the election of a successor to Sena-
tor Higgins. AS Kent County has
gone Democratic the Democrats will
control the State Senate, and thus
block legislation. Samuel Bancroft,
Jr., the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress, was slightly cut throughout the
city, although only about fifty votes
were polled for DOnahOe, the Inde-
| pendent Democratic candidate.
The election, on the whole, passed
off quietly in Wilmington. The ap-
pointment of the mob of cOnstables
operated against the Democrats in the
city and cost them many votes. The
constables attempted to stop some
voters. There were a number of ar
rests on various charges, but those ar
rested were promptly released on bail.
| The vote for a Constitutional COnven-
ton is almost unanimously in favor OF
the convention.
Kent is very close. Apparently in
favor of the Republicans Sussex is
conceded to the Republicans. East

Republicans do not concede this.
