GOSSIP.
Pick Out Your Candidates
and Be Sure and Vote.
The DEMOCRATS CRY FRAUD
The Silverites Have a

For the Gold =.
Democrats.
WILL THEY USE IT THIS time

The candidates for the different off o.
lhis year have the best show for nolninu-
ton than ever before in tho history OF tha
party. Every candidate has chance OF
hav ing his votes counted as tho voters
intended they should be. There will be nc
counting out and the candidates Of the
ring counted In. that Is given tho nonlna-
tions irrespective of the wishes Of the peo-
pie.
Tho new registration law Is responsible
for this state of affairs and for this alone
should be- welcomed by every honest voter
In the State of Delaware.
An active canvass by the respective can
didates means that the ballots will be
counted for them as placed In the ballot
boxes on the day OF nomination.
Nominations will be for Sheriff Coroner,
Recorder Of deeds. Members Of the Losls-
lature and Road Commissioners. The mum.
Der Of candidates is sufficiently large to
select from and those asking the suffrage
Of the Republican voters are good and cap.

and efficient men who can expect to bs
elected.
Voters have gotten over that fact that
because men belong to either Of the two
dominant parties that they should be vot.
cd for. Party ties do not bind voters to
vote for every candidate who is placed
on the ticket and for thie reason alone tho
voters should be particular whom they
vote for on the day Of nomination. Tho
nomination Of good mon means an cleo.
tion.
The political cards Of the mon who ask
for the suffrage of the Republicans can be
found in another column of this paper.
We can vouch for their Republicanism
having personal acquaintance with all
of the candidates.
Three more days remain yet to afford an
opportunity to register that will entitls all
such to vote on the day of election. The
colored voters should 500 that they arc
qualified to vote; thus fsr only 1s have reg.
istered
There are some eight hundred oolored
voters In this city and the small num-
Der thus far qualified is not very crafty
ing to thu Republican managers.
The only necessary qualification is the
fee Of 81 which is required before they can
be placed on the Registers list and given
the franchise which they should not allow
themselves to be cheated out of on election
day. 1t will remain to be seen how many
Democrats voted heretofore at our election
who never paid tax but had been fur
nished receipts for years for the asking and
the County thus cheated out of thousands
Of dollars by the practice adopted by tho
County tax collectors.
Even the Australian ballot law will not
be In it with the new registration law.
Mr.. Willard Salisbury has already b.. |
gun to look after his political fences and
has placed several candidates In the field |
who If elected are pledged to vote for him
1rst, last and all the time for Senator.
Willard Is very anxious to write Senator
rom Delaware after his name. He is at- I
;er George Gray's seat and II he docs not
get it, 1t will not be the fault of him or
lis friends. He has the greatest desire to
'eside In Washington and hobnob with tho
NV makers Of the United States. In fact
10 wants the position badly aud means to
,et 1t II Its in the wood.
The Silver League is doing considerable
Luiet work and will show their hand
when the proper time arrives In making
he nominations In the Democratic party.
They are not sleeping but quietly resting
m their oars Theywill be heard from when
he day of nomination rolls around. But
trango to say they arc not for any Of Viii.
and even speak Senator
George Gray's name In stage whisper.
They havea long knife up their sleeve
which they say they intend to uss whom
hey get the opportunity.
The Democratic party have troubles OF
heir own aud now that the Republican
arty has como to gether aud buried tho
atchet of war and smoked the pipe Of
eace they are completely ratified and have
% head. They havo made their usual bluff
bout fraud which they know more about
hnn any other party ever born In Della
