TIE cumbersome election machinery
adopted In Delaware, known as the Aus.
tralian ballot law, should be abolished
and some simpler and less costly method
be adopted by the next Legislature, which
meets in Dover in January next. The
cost Of holding the next election runs
away up In the thousands of dollars. 1t
is the most costly and useless piece Of cleo
tlon machinery ever given to the citizens
and taxpayers Of Delaware. 1t is any
thing but a secret ballot. 1t Is not oDe
half as secret as the old way of voting,
when voter went to the polls with his
ballot In his vest pocket, made up at his
home, The registrars, instead Of stutling
tho ballot box, have the voters after they
register returned US not qualified to vote.
III other words, il the registrars, who are
In the majority Democrats, think the Re.
publicans have moro votes registered than
they, they immediately proceed to cross
enough Republicans from the registration
list. BY this means the Democrats car.
ried Kent county last time.

An effort is being made by the reporter
OF the Evening journal to create disaf.
fcction in the Republican ranks by clrcu.
latins the report that members of the I'm
ion Republican party would cut Mr.. Ret
tcw, the candidate for the Office of Re-
ceivCr of Taxes. We believe the story
originated with the reporter, and is gross
misrepresentation from beginning to end
There is no disposition on the part of any
considerable number of Republicans of
either wing to prevent the election of Mr..
Rettew, The fact is, so far as our know
ledge extends, every ono desires his cleo
ton. The tax Office has been dominated
so long by Democrats that every Republi-
can desires change, AMI VIZ are satisfied
that they will vote soldly for Mr. Rettew
The parties who are counting on Republic
can Justification to elect Mr.. Carswoll, are
counting without their host. The story
in regard to u bargain between Mr.. Rettew
and Mr., Bach has been contradicted by
both gentlemen and the reporter had bet
ter save his breath

great protectionists, greatly opposed to
the free coinage OF silver, and equally OPP

their course seems wholly unJustlilabIe
and we are greatly surprised If any con-
siderable number OF Republicans are pro-
pared to vote for candidates to enable them

who 1t VIII BE,



There are two ways at present
Lurking round each mans abode,
Two ways to better or worse times,
Then let us choose our road.
One is called Gold Standard,
The other Silver Free,
Then let each man pick out the best
To help the country.
Gold Standard and high tariff
Are what we need to-day,
To help the poor working man
To increase his daily pay,
To start the mill running
And keep them going too,
That's what President Mckinley
Is going to send yon
Bryan for free silver
Is spouting everywhere.
He has been all through the country,
He has been to Delaware;
He talks about his party,
Those gallant sires Of old,
And tells us that free silver
Is better than bright gold.
He, like his predecessor,
Is a hero in the fight,
He'll tell you If you listen
The black crows getting white,
But we have enough of that,
Enough 10 leu us KNOW
Tho Democratic party
Has been our bitter foe.
Bryan and Sewall
They may be both good men,
But the party they do represent,
On them we can't depend.
We had them for four years
And we find they are no good
They deprived us OF our living
And they took away our food
But soon wen have the olden times,
The oldcn party too,
Mckinley will be President
And no one else will do.
From the state Of grand Ohio,
He comes to set us free
Good times once more he will restore
Throughout our country

The following Is the opinion of Y. v.
Powdcrly, cx.prcsident Of tho Knight; of
Labor on tho money question: "When
labor was scarce aud wages high in Eng
land in tho 10th century, perscvcring
efforts were made to Cypress the working
classes, but LAYS could not reduce the
wages of labor: Tho king, backed by
Parliament, the nobility,thc army, all the
power lodged in crown and sccpter,
could not do it, but dcbasod money did it.

and children DO tho workingmen wish
to call down upon themselves and their
families all this suffering by voting in
the interest of tho owners OF few silver

well, can vote conscentiously for Horace
G. Rettew for Receiver of Taxes. The
Office would be honestly administered un.
der Mr.. Rettew supervision, Every man
whose name appeared upon the county
tax books would receive II tax receipt upon
application for it, The county would be
several thousand dollars better of than it
has been for several years, and the county

lowered, Vote early and sec that your
