bery-Don't Fail to Get Regis

Who ever heard of colored man throw
Ing brick at Republican parade9 Such
charge Is ridiculous and should put to
shame the man or person who could have
tac face to make such charge and expect
people to believe it.
Recruits arc being made for Mckinley
every day. The news coming from other
states Is more than gratifying.
Benjamin Nields was allowed the priv.
ilege of addressing tho iron workers Of
the Diamond State Iron Company, al.
though the President, Mr.. Geo. w. Todd,
is pronounced advocate of the Prohibi.
tion party. We have nothing to say
against the Prohibition party as party
but they should have had sense enough
left this year to get in out of the McKin-
ley storm. The Republican party will
need every vote, especially in the State of
Delaware.
1t is reported that Mr. Anthony Higgins
got two thousand dollars as u rctainer's
fec In the suit now being pressed in the
United States Court against the Bay State
Gas Company.
No wonder that the ex-senator did not
M .ttcr of business with him. Then Ad-
dicks gets his money easily and it would
be pie to fight him and his pet gas COM
pany.
Word comes to the REPUBLICAN office
thai the registers in some districts are
not doing their duty but are placing every
obstacle in the way Of persons especially
Republicans when they present their tax
receipts to geJ registered. Such men
Oh hn MI al j,1rf hn in,t- pnt -hnf
can you expect froia the court when 1t
admitted two years ago that the Board Of
Registration was superior TO the court.
1t was ii dangerous precedent for the
courts to set. The Republicans Of Kent
County, through the astuteness and
clovcrness OF Mr.. J. Frank Alice, took the
tricky Democrats by the forelock this year
and worked in il trick upon them that
made John L. Salisbury and their Dem2-
CT IS leaders of Kent very mad. Finally
when they had been beaten at their own
game of disiranchi5inS voters, they
threatened all sorts Of revenge, but the
bravo Republicans were not SO easily
frightcn ed and stood their ground. Even
states attorney White refused to send in
their names to the grand jury which was
in session at Dover. Tho Dem03ra tic
registrars intend TO disfranchlse some one
hundred Republican voters by the same
method they adopted two years ago, to
over come the Republican majority in that
county.
This year the little trick did not work
and what became sauce for the goose was
sauce for the gander. The cry went up
from lew Democrat papers, the wicked
Republicans intended to capture the State
in November. The fight was sharp, short
and decisive and the Union Republicans
won.
II
in our city that the Union Republican
ticket would have Il handsome majority.
Not fifty votes will be polled for the rcgu-
lar Republican ticket. We will see what
kind of u political prophet Frank Is after
Tuesday week.
The Republican leaders of Kent county
say they do NOT wish to prevent any man
having II legal right to cast ballot, but
they mean to insist to the end that "if
you kill my dog, will kill your cat.
Attorney General Robert G. White has
very kindly and considcra;ely gotten out
another Democratic manifesto which Is
evidently intended only for the wicked
Democrats as he had 1t printed only in
the Democratic newspapers. He offers a
reward of s25 for the Information given
him that will lead to the conviction of
any person who shall give, offer or prom.
ise any money, goods, chattels. or other
lease any debt o.. obligation by way of
bribe, gift, benefit or reward, for the
purpose or with the object Of influencing
any elector in giving his vote or In rofus-
ing to vote, or In absonting himself from
tho polls at the approaching election.
Persons can sue for two hundred, one
half To go TO the parties bringing suit and
the other half to the State of Delaware in
conviction. Hero Is leeway enough to
- al
election. Tho Attorney General is no
doubt doing his duty as he sees it as a
party man, aud as an officer of the State
God save the State.
Tho root hog or die" Republicans over
in New Castle are numerous and think
about adopting tho above as their battle
cry on November lrd, for the whole Re.
publican tickot. L. Irving Handy Is out
predicting again. He says the State Is
sure to go for Bryan and Sewcll. He sees
it in the reflection of the photograph Of
the kennGtt Square mixed schools. Handy

to keep the company of several other wise |
acrcs who havO been making predictions

chances to get registered. Friday and |
