Afterwards presiding as election officers In
Delaware, They have certainly forfeited
all rights which they enjoyed before
their conviction of ono Of the worst crime,
that they could be guilty of. ~
RATHER IA IRISH TREATMENT.
The Mccoy and Baylis adherents do not
like the way they have been treated thus
far by the "big four They certainly did
dot expect to find things loaded for them
or they would have been better prepared
than they were when the trial Of strength
was gone into on Wednesday evening.
But they do not intend to have their can
didates' claims Ignored and will make q
fight for the nomination of their favorites
on Saturday week whom the nomination
will be made.
GET ONE.
Tho department OF elections has issued u
handbook. containing practical instruc-
tons for the use of the inspectors OF cleo
tions, poll clerks and other officers Of cleo.
tons in the registration, polling and can.
vassing of votes on May %. which day Is
set for registration.
| GET YOUR TAX RECElPT
1t will be very necessary to get your tax
receipt before the god inst, or you will be
unable to cast a vote on June 8. Every
vote will be needed by the Republican
party to enable them to win. The party
has been slow in perfecting their organi-
cation in the different wards, but they
will 10 In fighting trim on election day
with good capable men in the field to vote
| for.
The clans will have buried tho Ratchet
| and smoked the pipe Of peace and held
| their pow-wow all In ample time. AS one
prominent we'll known Republican who
now holds Office said at conference held
between representatives of the two fac.
tions: II have kicked but I now be.
| lleve that half a loaf is better than none
| and for one am In favor Of harmony"
TELL THEM THAT YOU SAW ME-.
The fight is getting interesting in the
| different wards which nre surely Demo
cratic, between rival candidates for the
office of City Council. They have come
| forward and pressed their claims upon the
| different ward committees, and expressed
determination to run for Council at the
| nomination election. In the Tenth ward
| Frank McNulty has been opposed and
| Frank will drop out and not run for an
| other term. The opposition in the Fourth
ward has almost dropped out against the
| returning OF Meaney to Council. The fight
| promises to be an interesting one although
| Meuneys friends claim that he will have
| walk over a clnch Us 1t were.
THE SILVER MEN DETERMINED
The silver Democrats are determined
that they shall have voice In the selec.
| ton of tho candidates for the different
city offices. The big four arc just as do
ternined that they will name the men of
their choice, and If the silver men don't
like it they can lump it, From the pres
ent outlook the fight will be bitter one
and leave plenty of ugly sores after the
smoke of battle has cleared away the day
after the battle royal OF ballots comes off.
WHAT is HE AFTER Now2
The question has been asked tho writer
several times during the last few days;
What is Pat after nowp From black
smith he has waxed rich from holding
offices under the Democratic administra-
tions and he surely must have hts cyo on
something good in tho near future. lie
has just gotten through with Sc u day
job in experimenting the building of tho
new post Office. Pat always has his eye
| open for an opportunity to get pusition
that has big pay attached to it and short
working hours, although Pat is not lazy.
He Is used to hard work. His services a. Q
needed and will be from now until the
people express their preferences ut tho
ballot box on the day OF elections.
GOT GOOD CREDIT.
State Treasurer kuss says that Deln-
ware can go on the market and borrow all
the money 1t needs at per cent as its
credit Is first class. He also makes the
claim that il the State was TO go out Of
business tomorrow that its assests would
not only pay its liabilities but the residue
if distributed would purchase firm for
every man, woman hnd child in the State.
In other words Delaware has money to
burn and that Is tho reason why our
Legislators have been holding such d
lengthy session. They want tho surplus
and mean to get it ii they know their
business and they think they do. With
such good credit rs our State enjoys
there was no good reason why tho work
house bill should have been defeated. But
docs the State Treasurer know what he
is talking ab0utp
THE PRIMARY ELECTION BILL.
Before the primary election takes place
In our city the bill will DO put IN shape by
ex.Secretary of State J. Harvey Whiternan
as passed by the General Assembly. 1t
will provide that the County Executive
Committee OF the Democratic mud Repub.
lican parties shall select from the list OF
general election inspectors the men who
are to hold the primaries for the party
Provision will also be made that no una
but registered voters will be- permitted to
vote at the primaries. SO 1t will be ueGes-
sary for the Republicans to sec that they
are eligible to vote by having tax re.
Ceipt and being duly registered OH the 23d
inst.

Catcrty's friends are sore Mr. McNulty

candidate for council this year, as he in
tended to run for assessor. Owing 10 the
bill before the Legislature It left him

withdraw in favor of McNulty but Nc.
Caterty would not listen to 1t. Then
McNulty and his friends vent over to
