The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1896-09-23

JUSTICE, the official mouth piece Of tho
Single Takers has this to say of their
Democratic brethren, with whom they
evidently don't dwell together in harmo'
ny and contentment.
New Castle County has suffered much
at the hands of Dickcy. For fifteen years
she gave him an uninterrupted term Of
office, she allowed himself and his friend
"Pat" to fatten at the public trough and
in return Dickey administered the poll
tax cure TO the corrupt and moribund
Democratic machine and 'workei' rural
legislators for the passage of laws depriv-
ing the county of the right of selt.soveru.
lnent.
One would think that Dickey might
now be satisfied to rest On his iauruls, bus
Dickey has an Unsuitable appetite for pub
lie plums Besides Willard salisbury
may want an extension of the City Rail
way franchise, or the lettering machlne
may require some new legislative prop
and Dickey is just tho man, His smooth,
clerical, guileless face and manners appeal
to the rustic Pooh Bahs who make our
laws and do our thinking for us
The Single Tax followers preach that
each and every citizen has All equal right
to tho ownership of land That cvory
citizen has no right to acquire whatever
land he can purcha Q Or has decided to him.
They again preach that the ownership of
land in America especially, was acquired
through grants from foreign kings or
queens, whom they say, claimed to be
from America, but had no legal right to
SO dispose Of it, They again claim the
dead had no right to will this land to their
children That 1t makes no difference
whether he las purchased or inherited it,
his title cannot be better than his from
whom he derived it. Then agnin they say
In the next paragraph that tho land be-
longs to the people of this country and
unborn generations.
The Single Takers aud their theories
arc like the magician, all right to watch
and tell the people how it is done and then
delude the people before their very eyes
The Single Takers, strange to say, arc
nearly all Democrats seeking to start a
new party in Delaware.
A strange thing about the $l0 reward off
cred by Attorney General White is that it
only appears in theDcmOcratic papers, thus
giving color to tho report which appeared
in the REPUBLICAN, that he Is only after
bad, bold Democrats. But why 90 to tho
trouble and put the State Treasury to the
expense Of publishing any notice, Offering
any reward whatever. Why not set the
tyo Democratic detectives on TO the snap?
We hope none Of our readers vii! be 50
bold and bud as to try to keep good, IN
nocent child like Democrat voter from
getting free county tax receipt OF get
him full and thereby keep him away from
the polls on registration days, We Will
ourselves give $40 reward for ANY Demo.
