GOING AHEAD WITH THEIR WORK.
The Board of Election having their office
at the S. h. corner OF Seventh and Shipley
streets publishes their notice in another
column Of the REPUBLICAN calling the at
tention Of voters who have removed their
residences to call and have the same en-.
tered during the month of April or other
wise they will be unable to vote at the
coming election. This Is an important
matter and should be attended to at once.
An ounce Of prevention Is worth pound
Of cure.
NO REFEREE WANTED.
Word comes from Washington that a
referee will be appointed for Delaware to
recommend the men to be appointed to
the federal positions in the State Such
referee will not give satisfaction to the
disgruntled Republicans nor will it be the
means OF bringing the two factions to.
gether, but may be the very means OF
keeping them from coming together in
time to make respectable showing at the
coming election in June, which will
insure the election of Democrat Mayor,
City Council and City Treasurer, Are the
Republicans working for harmony with
this end in viewp
REFERRED BACK TO THE COMMITTEE.
The Senate will provide for Revision Of
the primary election laws in Wilmington
after considerable debate pro and con, by
Representatives. HAZEL. Donaldson,
Cheairs and Dempsey was referred back to
the Election Committee, where 1t will be re
ported later with possible further amend
ments There has cropped out consider
able opposition to the BILL lately amongst
q pf mr. n N
city, which may eyentua lily defeat it.
DEFEATED BILL NOT DIsMAYED.
Representative Cheairs stated yesterday
that the committees were ready at any
time to hear arguments for and against
the bill to propose the city election from
August 5th, 1896, to the first Monday In
June 1899 The bill came up again yes
terday and is yet in the hands of the com.
mittees which it had been referred by
vote of 10 to last week, The promoters
of this scheme are still laboring for its
passage 1t is pet scheme of Mr.. John
L. Dickey backed only by the men whom
ii benefited by keeping them in Office,
that much longer than they were elected
and appointed to serve. 1t Is the meanest
kind OF u job to tbwart the will of the
people. The bill should be killed. 1t has
few if any friends only amongst those
whom will be its bcnehciarles.
THE CHIEF TO BE RE, APPOINTED. '''
Chief Dolan will be ro-appointed by the
Police Commission between now and tho
18th inst, when his resignation was to
have taken effect This is positive fact,
Owing to the unavoidable absence of Com
missioner John W. Lawson, who is also
paymaster of the P, w. & B. r. II. Co,
and who has been absent from the city
paying off the employees Of that corpora.
tiOn the appointment was not made at the
last evening.

The way to get tho Republican party to-
gether will be for the president to divide
the federal offices equally between the
two factions. For what few Offices there
are in sight the scramble is something good
for sore eyes Nearly dozen candidates
want to be Marshal.

the signat ures of our citizens to q petition

well filled with applicants for the U. 5.
