Besnre and Ask For a
Receipt When You
Register.
DEMOCRATS ARE AWAKENING
To the Fact That Some
thing Has to be Done.
Promise of a Very
Small Vote.
REGISTRATION NOT POPULAR

That the Democrats are awakening tc
the fact that something will have to be
done to get their voters to register is made
evident by the fact that ward meetings
Will DO held in every ward in the city. and
they Will he addressed by Democratic law
yors, who will tell the people something
they already know. Senator Gray has
awakened to the fact that II ho wants to
succeed himself be will have to bestir him
self and see that his bench mon are propor.
ly qualified. SO that they can vote on cleo
ton day.
Its going to be hard work. and going to
take several thousand dollars to placate
these men, who never before In the history
OF the State had to pay their county taxes
but had all the tax receipts they wanted
for the asking. The difference of having
to pay registration fee is already seen by
the light registration by the faithful in the
Democratic wards.
The small number thus far qualified is
appalling to the Democratic managers
and they have commenced to hustle. Ono
OF the members Of the Italian Democratic
Club, with its headquarters at Eighth and
Union streets, told the write. that two of
the prominent Democrats had given them
money to got registered and thot they
would be all qualified to vote. This mon
ey was given as e donation to the club,
but Its purpose was to use 1t In paying the
registration fee Of the different members.
This same Italian said, why a.. Willard
Salisbury gave US check for $25 to buy
our banner. He Is nice man, don't you
think" asked the que'tioner. ave are
for Mr.. salisbury, solid. He was the
means Of having the club organized"
There are two Democratic Italian clubs
In this vicinity and one Republican Ital-
ian club. They are fast becoming Amer
icanized in their views about voting, and
have their club rooms, where they meet
nightly and discuss the beauties of this
land Of the free and the manner in which
tho politician electloneers.
The registration In Kent and Sussex
counties is so small thatit has caused IN
favorable comment and is locked upon by
the Democratic managers as knotty
problem that will require considerable
dollars to untangle. 1t will require the
depositing Of notes In the down State
banks to raise the necessary wherewith to
enable these voters to properly qualify.
1t Is hard to be compelled to pay tax
after being for years in State that made
the self same voters present of the nee.
essary paper and IS note as a present for
being around on election day This Is
something the average down STATE Demo-
craft cannot understand. 1t romans to
be seen how biea part the dollar cnts in
the coming election, as the law is 50 ex-
plicit on this point.
There will be no chance to have packed
jury or a jury that will disagree All cases
Of violating the election laws will be tried
before the bench with one Republican
Judge sitting.
In New Castle County ii was seen 1T to
make law requiring all persons who
voted at the primaries to DO properly
qualified to vote at the election. This law
docs not exist In Kent and Sussex Coun-
ties.
The Union Republican County Com.
m,ttee Of Kent Comfy met in Dover yes
terday and considered harmony propo-
sition from the Republican Committee.
The proposition was not accepted and an.
other meeting will be held, when 1t is
thou ght that the differences can be ar
ranged.

and French streets on Friday evening, to
