This evening Anthony Carroll will de- liver an address tn Veru hall, which will chiefly be devotedsto an exposure of the haps and mishaps in New Haven poli- tics since 1870.
 It is understood that NIT. Carroll will make some spicy declarations and that he will present documentary proof in support of number of his statements. Different administrations of the city government will receive considerable attention and according to report.
 A very large number of tickets of ad- mission have been secured and it is doubtful if Veru hall will accommodate all who desire to be present. MT. Car roll is a forclble speaker and there will be no one in the hall who cannot under stand everything he says.

Result Of a Desperate Scheme OF
AudIcks Republicans.
An Attempt to DisIrancnise psmocrats--,

An Attempt to Disiranchise Democrats-A
Number of Warrants Sworn out, and
Rnmors of Others--Exciting Times in
Prospect.
Clayton Call, yesterday.
One of the most dastardly attempts
to disfranchise citizens OF their votes
was enacted in two districts OF East
Dover hundred last Saturday, when
afljdavits were filed against 139 persons,
some of them the most prominent
citizens and property owners of Dover,
among them G. S. Pennewill, John
+. Salisbury, Samuel Wharton and
James II. Hughes. The afiidavits were
filed by two colored men, one OF whom
was arrested, and Oh being asked what
grounds the atfidavits were mads on,
replied that he did not know. but
Beniah Watson and John b. Wharton
had told him to do it.
This scheme of the Addicks crowd,
we are reliably informed. was Matched
in Wilmington over month ago. They
realized that in consequence of the
thorough organization OF the Democrats
and the split in their own party that
something desperate must be done in
order TO win on November 3D.. The
understanding. SO we are Informed,
was to strike from the lists In two dis
tricts in East Dover, one 10 North
Murderkill, one in South Murderkill
and two ia Milford. the names of
several hundred Democrats and thereby
secure the election of the Addicks
ticket. Had they kept the plot to
themselves the outlook 10 Kent county
would be different. but the Democrats
of Kent county were soon informed OF
| the scheme OF disfranchisement and
made efforts to counterfeit it.
On Saturday atfidayits were filed
| against ~ Republicans in Duck Greek,
"a in Kenton and 80 in Little Creek.
The affidavits were made against persons
who had paid no tax since the one
assessed to them in 1894, and had been
returned delinquent.
Robert Polk, one of the colored men
who swore out afiidavits against the
| East Dover hundred voters. was held in
| bail as was also Beniah Watson and
John b. Wharton.
Yesterday warrants were sworn oui
by DIR. L. G.. Moore and others charg.
ing r. Y. WalleD, Nathaniel Pratt anG
Charles Jones, the persons who madt
the affidavits in Duck Creek hundred
charging them with perjury. The tria
took place before Squire Cooper al
Dover. After hearing the witnesses
who could not subsfantiate the charge
the case was dismissed,
Yesterday evening warrants wer,
issued aginst Thomas A. Rees, W. Fl
Greenwell and G. Garrison, the registra
tion board of kenton hundred, charg
ing them with refusing to register
qualified voter. At the hearing a
Kenton this morning they gave bal
for their appearance Thurdsay.
The air is full of rumors about othe
arrests that will be made IN few
days, and it is very likely this vii
be very exciting week among tn
Kent county politicians.

For nm Honest Election.

Attorney General Robert @. White
has caused to be printed in several Of
the papers OF this State an ADVERTISE
ment reading as follows;
A reward OF twenty five dollars will
be paid to any one who will give me

fit or reward for the purpose or with
the object of influencing any elector in
giving his vote or in refusing to vote,
or in absenting himself from the polls
at the approaching election.

the bar silver corded up in the Treasury
was S114,s29. 399. This volume of de.
preciated silver dollars is maintained
at parity with gold solely by the
pledge of government credit.
Since 1878 the silver mines OF the
country have produced 939. 576, 600
ounces OF the metal, of which the gov
eminent has bought 459, BAG, 100 ounces,
costing the tax payers of the country
the sum OF S46l, 2l0, 1852, or a little
more than dollar an ounce. At the
present market price Of silver this
would amount to loss of more than
$3.50. GOO, 000.r But still the Bryanites,
with Harvey, the teacher of their iinan.
cial school, daily tell the American
people that they have not done enough
for silver, and that in order to relieve the
unfortunate bonanza miners the mints
of the United States should be thrown
open to it's free and unlimited coinage
at the saoramenIal ratio OF 16 to /!
In other words the silver mine
owners want the government to take
all tho product Of their mines, and coin
it into money, and further, to compel
the people TO accept this money for their
currency, even though it will be worth
scarcely fifty cents on the dollar.
We have seen many instances of pro-
lection and paternalism run wild 10
this country, bur this demand OF the
silver mine owners, backed by the
Bryan Populists, exceeds any folly OF
the kind ever known. 1t is stu.

mhnt FREQ coipnre ntsan..

There have been many explanations
OF what the free coinage Of silver really
means, some Of which arc clear and
explicit while others are cloudy and
obscure. Here is particularly good
one, given by Postmaster General Will
son In speech at Charlestown, W.
Va, last Saturday afternoon:
Go back to 1884 and an ounce of
gold was worth fifteen ounces Of silver,
but now an ounce Of gold is worth
thirty-three ounces of silver. Let me
say word In regard to the free coinage
Of silver. Some men think that silver
itself is going to be free that 1t will be
given away. will tell you what free
coinage OF silver means. 1t means that
Mr.. Hearst or Mr.. Stewart shall take
SIG. or as much as they please, of their
silver bullion to the mint and the
government will stamp it free for him
in tifty-cent dollars and then give it
back to him and he will pass it for all
that he can get for it to the laboring
men OF this country. Ii means private
silver subjected to private benefit. You
talk about the "dollar OF our daddies. =
don't believe there is a man in this
house to-day that ever saw silver
dollar that was coined before 1873.
Since the 'tcrime Of 1872 we have
coined four hundred and forty millions
of these silver dollars, and we coined
last year as much money as we did
from the beginning of this government
down to tie crime Of 1873, and we
coined in the month of September as
many silver dollars as were put in cir
culation from the foundation of this
| government down to the crime OF 1873
And yet they will tell you that silver is
demoneti2ed, that it is struck down,
and that we are on a gold standard. In
1873 there was only twenty-five millions
of gold in circulation, and now we have
about one hundred and twenty millions
OF gold in circulation, nearly six times
as much as then. No country in the
world has increased in money supplies
aa fast as the United States gold,
silver and parer-and it is all good as
gold.
1t is to but natural, therefore. that
MIR. Hearst, Mr.. Stewart and all in.
terested in metal silver production
should earnestly advocate the free
coinage of silver, but why other people
should favor the scheme is beyond
understanding. Nobody would be bene
fitted except those directly interested
On. the contrary it has been con
clusivey demonstrated that larg,
majority of the people would b.
sufferers from the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, as it would reduce tn
purchasing capacity of their none.
fully one half.
Why should the great mass Of th
people inhict positive injury upoI
themselves for the benefit Of Hearst
Stewart and company?

The Democratic Nominee for Governor.

In an editorial reference to Ebe w.
Tunnel, the Democratic nominee for
Governor, the Dover Index says:
We have neither the intention nor
desire to select any particular nominee
of the Delaware Democracy as being
more worthy than his fellows on the
ticket. We simply do desire at
present, however, to call attention to
the great Importance OF electing our
gubernatorial nominee.
With the rupture of the old Repub-
lican party and incurable division,
Democratic victory lies within our own
grasp. To actively or even passively
surrender our vantage ground would
be an act of worse than mere folly.
Ebe W. funnel is the present stand
ard bearer of our State Democracy
His name calls for the united support
of every Democrat in this State. His
is name which speaks for itself to
every citizen. There is no necessity
in his CAGE to inform the public of his
suitability and capability for the Office
for which he is candidate. Two years
ago he was the nominee of the same
party for the same office. In that cam.
paign he was defeated, but it was the
dtI6ut vi all tuti
election and of an honest and clean
vote, but of wholesale and enormous
| corruption. Kent was alone saved to
the Democracy. Certainly no candid
and informed citizen of this State
would contend that the result of that
election furnishes any precedent for
the coming one, nor can such a citizen
affect to believe that Ebe W. Tunnel
was defeated because he was con-
siderei, in the eyes of majority OF
his constituents, as unworthy of the
Office Of Governor If a defeat ever
proved anything, that defeat proved
that the real, uncorrupted sentiment
of the great mass of Delawareans as IL
favor of Mr.. Tunnel.
Every word of the above is true. The
defeat Of the Democratic party in Della
ware at the last election was not due IL
Mr.. Tunnel or to any other individual
candidate upon the Democratic ticket.
1t was due to the adverse influences
that worked against the Democratic
party all over the country, and to thu
lavish use of a great corruption funt
by the agents of the Republican part!
in this State.
Neither of these influences is likel,
to prevail at the coming election, AM
no safer political prediction could b.
made than that Ebe W. Tunnel, if h.
lives, will be the next Governor O
Delaware.
