Hell, yesterday, Ill appointing Ile lhsPeS-
tors elected at the last general election
two years ago as inspectors for the com
ing election in November in the rural
New Castle hundreds is regarded as
Democratic scheme to steal this county
by many of the prominent Republican
leaders
By this move they contend that the
Democrats will have all the best OF the
argument on November 8, as they are
in the majority, and they allege that the
same tactics will be resorted to as was
practlced in the famous Kent county
steal of 1896.
They allege that the Governor had
been made cognizant Of the contemplated
steal by leading Democrats, and that he
has placed his seal of approval on it by
appointing all inspectors he was asked to
by the Democratic leaders.
Democratic leaders have been ap.
pointed in Blackbird, Brandywine and
Christiana hundreds, whilst in the other
hundreds they are also in the majority,
the Republican receiving hardly any
recognition.

Dissension has again been created be-
tween the Union and Regular Republi-
cans Of New Castle county through an
alleged scheme which the Regulars con-
tend the Unionists contrlved to defeat
Samuel VI. Knox, nominee for State
Senator in the First district of Whining
ton hundred.
When the names Of the candidates Of
the Republican party were certified to
before Clerk Of the Peace Foard on last
Wednesday by the representatives OF the
Union and Regular, factions it appears
that tnc former certified to the name Of
Samuel \. Knox as the senatorial candi
date while the Regulars certified correctly
to,Samuel NJ. Knox.
The ''error," if such it is, was not
noticed at the time, and the result is that
the Union Republicans will vote for
Samuel n. Knox, and the Regulars for
Samuel NJ. Knox.
When prominent Regulars were asked
in reference to 'e matter last night,
they were 10Th to believe that it was a
mistake, and plainly asserted that it was
done to defeat their candidate.
Union Republicans claim that It was
a 'clercar' error, and state that they
had no such Intentions, and so the mat
ter for the>present rests.
There has been much talk concerning
the registration Of the colored vote in
Kent county, yet it has developed that
there exists Il reason for it.
1t will be remembered that at DJver's
last town election, though the taxes of
the cloIOred citizens were paid, they
were not allowed to vote by the Demo-
Gratis who conducted the election be-
cause "they had not paid their taxes
with their own money"
After that election the Democrats ap
Deared in excellent spirits. They crowed
as they never had before over any of
their gains, and the Democratic papers
Joined in the crow. 1t was thus exlen-
siyely advertised, and every colored vo-
