The Cecil Democrat has evidently
taken its cue from certain newspaper
correspondents from our town when it
puts before the eyes of it's readers the
following:
"Since the Republican victory in
Delaware the negroes have become so
insolent that respectable person can
scarcely walk abroad without being
insulted. Maryland take warning"
We make no claim for superior ex-
cellence for our people but do contend
we have rightful claim to ordinary
respectability and for peace and quiet
ness, and will stand with the average
communities of the peninsula and pro-
badly far above many. But to read
some of the fulminations of the press
SO repeatedly served up by correspond
ents who live among us, a stranger
might think this community lived in
terror of notorious and disorderly ne
groes, especially On Saturday nights.
Such misrepresentation and such un-
truthful stuff discounts our people and
community and anybody contemplat-
ing settlement among us would be de-
TERED from so doing for fear he might
fall into the hands of the Phillistines.

BILE. IN. Y. Sun.
Before the New York Sun undertakes
to speak editorially on Delaware poll.
tics, it would do well first, to get more
information on the subject. The Sun
is too great and impartial a newspaper
to willingly and purposly misrepresent
any matter Of which it treats in its
editorial columns. Therefore, we con.
clude that the Sun, not being on the
ground, and unacquainted with Della
ware affairs, has jumped at a conclu-
sion probably based on a cue taken
from the lying Democratic press of
Delaware. AS matter Of fact, there
is no class Of voters in this State who
have proven themselves more imper-
vious to the corrupting influence of the
bribe-giver than the colored people. In
face of the fact that, during the last
campaign, the colored man was the one
objective point of the Democratic
boodler, he stood loyal to the Repub.
lican party, as he has always done.
without money and without price.
In the State of Delaware, the ienal
vote among the colored people,, is
smaller In proportion than among any
other class of citizens. The Republi-
cans have no need to buy or bribe the
colored voter and the Democrats find
him more difficult to corrupt than the
ignorant whites.

have drunk in the American spirit of
liberty, and along with it love for

of such scoundrels as the men who
compose the Sussex county Levy Court9
The history Of this country affords
many instances where men have been

In attempting to thwart the will of the
people and to overturn the letter and
spirit of the law. The truth is, that
the Republican citizens of Delaware
have been a very patient and long
suffering set of men, and the only
wonder is, that riot and blood shed
have not long since grown out of the
crimes committed against their cons
titutional rights by Democratic officials |
year after year, deprived of their rights |
by the ruthless and villainous opera
tion of corrupt machine, the like of |
which no state in this Union has ever
known, outside the pale of Tammany

an uneven struggle against party
entrenched behind a code of laws
made to perpetuate its power, trusting
sooner or later the people of this State
would come to know and feel that
right alone is might, and that that feel

effort to free this State from the

doesn't it cry out against its own party
which has been guilty of this corrup-

fact, the originators OF it. Why has
not the Every Evening had something

WILLIAM DOWNES DISMISSED.
The case of William Fl. Downes
which was to be made test case by
the Democrats of st. Georges Hun
dred has slumped. Whether the un-
sophisticated politicians here thought
this was an opportunity to make politi-
cal capital for the party by intensifying
the deep and unrelenting race predju-
dice of the Democracy, or whether it
was in harmony with the big Frank
Duncan ''tough'' intimidation, the
boasting and open decla ration 1--WE
will prosecute and convict Downes"
and hold it over the colored voters in
the future, has failed. Big Frank
must have some glory. His reception
by such distinguished committee and
then SO summarily dismissed before
the closing Of the polls, must have some
explanation. The conviction of Downes
would answer all inquiries. The magis-
trate's court, fair and impartial
in the face of lawyers, and would-be
lawyers, and their legal opinions, failed
them. "Push the case'' was the word
given along the line and push it they
did, How SO many could be blinded by
their predIudices is surprising. When
it came before the Attorney-General,
"no case;" and this was the verdict
in the mind Of every one capable OF
giving common sense Interpretation
of the law in the case. William Fl.
DoWnes, who has been bounded ever
since he attempted to vote, has been
declared innocent of even an attempt
to violate the law.
We would advise these young politi-
clans, land there were some older ones,
too), to find something to push before
they exhaust their strength pushing
"no case" If they want a representa-
tive at the polls get something better
than Big Frank, for there surely is
some one who can represent the party
better, and If they want to test their
wonderful and blossoming legal ac-
cumen seek other than poor defense
less colored voter.
1t must be CALLING to the politicians,
and we understand that some could
not control their wrath at the outcome
of this case; but there were some fair
Democrats who realized the complete
and absolute absudity of it, and to
them we give due credit.
The two trump cards played by the
youthful politicians of this hundred,
the importation of Frank Duncan and
the arrest of Downes, did not trump.
