came mad and rent their clothing and hair.
Bsniah Watson and John b Wharton
through tho aid of Robert b Folk and
Henry Sullivan, had prepared ntlidavits to
the effect in their opinion, Il number of
Democrats l39in all have been illegally AS
sesed and asked that the men on the lists
be compelled TO appear before the Regis
tration boards on next Saturday and shew
cause why their names should not be
stricken frcm the registration lists. On
the lists are the names of some of the prom
inent Democrats in East Dover hundred
including that FREQ silver apostle John +.
Salisbury.
The Democrats became mad; first they
threatened, then they set the machinery
of the law to work and had warrants
served for the arrest Of these four men.
They were soon released on bail The
Democrats had intcdded to strike the
names of 100 Republican voters off the
lists, but they were checkmated and finally
agreed to do nothing in the matter if the
Republicans would likewise agree to
the same. Nevertheless the Union Re-
publicans have retained four able law
yers to look after their interests
.eThe old time W0lcott and salisbury
fight of six years ago is on, and it prom
Uses to become interesting as the cam
paign draws to a close.
Is it not strange spectacle to stand and
listen to man traduCe the character Of Il
man who is in every manner bis peer,
while the ealer often gets 50 glOriousy
drunk hat he cant find the key hole of
his front door, Such public speakers need
stoning off OF the stand they occupy as
well as the streets, while making their
TRADE.
1t begins to look as if the old Tenth
ward was still able to keep up its old time
name for lawlcssness. But their old
timel Democratic majOritics have slipped
away out of sight The new ballot law
put n stop to thor Big majorilics.
y,
OF Blumonthais' Morocco factory, has
given several interesting talks to his en-.
ployees on the silver question, He is II
pronounced sound money man and speaks
intelligently upon the subject. Sound
money means plenty of work for his
hands, fifty cent dollars mean probably Il
shutting down Of the large factory.
The attack upon Jonathan :. Willis
and John II Eotfcckor by Republicans is
not doing the cause of RepublicaniSm in
Delaware one atom of good. such
attacks uro unlirely unculled for and only
will be used IN years to come to strike
back at those who have II sed them in the
present campaign. Young men should
not commit political hari-kari.
One Of the greatest eases that will come
mp before the United States Court this
morning. There are charges and counter
charges. A significant thing is that one Of
the Receivers is the brOthcrin-aw of
Washington Hastings. There may be and
mayn be much in this fact but it is pccu-
liar under The circumstances Everything
done or found out by the Receivers Will
become the property of Mr., Washington
Hastings
Politics make funny hed-frllows. When
business becomes duh the politicians rush
Into politics and rcnd their clothing anh
tear their hair for the cause of the dear
people who they profess to love betcrt than
their own business

not speak from the same platform with
