AGAIN Warned.

Even Governor Ebe W. Tunnel recog.
nizes the fact that desperate politics will
be resorted to by certain parties in the
coming election, and, following in the
footsteps OF The Sun, he on Friday last
issued the following proclamation,
which, in itself, is sufficient to command
an honest and fair election for at least
once in this Commonwealth:
WHEREAS, The crime of bribery at
elections has so increased in this State as
to make public office the subject OF barter
and elective franchise a commodity to be
shamelessly and openly purchased at the
polls, thus corrupting the morals of our
citizens, substituting purchased YER
dict for the honest will of the voters,
and disgracing the manhood of our
people and bringing shame and ruin on
our State.
He then recited section of article 5
of the New Constitution, and continuing
says: And,
''WHEREAs, There are reasonable
grounds for the belief that the above re-
cited provisions of the Constitution have
been violated and will be violated in the
payment of registration fees, for the pur-
pose OF securing the registration Of
voters and that the bribery and corrup-
tion, which at the last election in this
State was so extensiye,so disgraceful and
so dangerous to oar institutions and
morals as to shock decent, respectable
and honest citizens of all parties, is
again being practiced,
THEREFORE,, l, Ebe W. Tunnel, Gov
ernor of the State OF Delaware, in accord
ance with the laws of this State and my
duty as Executive thereof, to see that
the laws be faithfully executed, do
hereby offer reward of One Hundred
Dollars ($l0O) to be paid by the State of
Delaware, in each casa to any person or
persons giving information which shall
lead to the arrest and conviction OF any
person violating any of the provisions OF
Section 7, of Article 5, of the Constitu-
tion OF Delaware, above recited, relating
to bribery at registration and elections
"And / do hereby request the Sheriffs
of the several counties of the State, their
deputies and bailiffs and all public
officers of the State, to employ all lawful
means to secure the arrest OF persons
violating the provisions of the Constitu-
tion relating to bribery at registration

So Far as Known All on Board Were
Rescued by the Tug
Merritt.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Nov. 5.-The ocean
tug Merritt put into Charleston this
morning for supplies. She reported the
loss Of the cruiser Maria Teresa, raised by
Constructor Hobson recently, off San
Salvador, Bahamas, November l, in the
midst of furious storm.
The cruiser left Caimanera, Cuba, on
the morning OF October 30 in tow for New
York. She had already passed Cape
Maisi and started northeast around the
Bahamas. A furious storm, warning of
which had already been sent out, over
took her, and in her condition she was
unable to weather the gale.
The strain opened rents in her hull
which had been patched to enable her to
make the journey, and she began to fill
rapidly. The Merritt took off Lieuten-
ant Commander Harris and the crew
from the sinking ship, and she soon went
down. The Merritt brought the Lieu
tenant Commander and 1876 men, who
will proceed north by rail. No lives
were lost as far as known.
The Merritt is now at Quarantine, six
miles from this city, communication
with her being difficult.

HERE'S INGENIOUS DEV|LTRY
A Brilliant Scheme Hatched by
a Democratic Council in
Kent County.
PERJlJRERS FOR MONEY
A just Provision of the New
Election Law to be Perverted
to Cover and Assist
Fraud at the VOt.
ing Places.
Special to The sun.

Special to The SUN.
DOVER, DEL, Nov. 5.-At the council
of the Democratic leaders in this county
held tonight it was decided to resort to
the use OF right given in the new elec-
ton laws as the final plan by which the
Democratic party may hope to carry
Kent county.
The right which they have decided to
make use of is that portion of the elec-
tion law which asserts that if any elector
shall be challenged, and the challenger
take an oath before the inspector that
the elector has been bribed, then the in
spector must accept that oath as con-
elusive, and shall not allow said elector
to vote. The electors so challenged must
| accept this decision, and, consequently,
have no redress until after the election
has passed and his vote lost.
In the plan mapped out by the Demo-
cratic ring of Kent county here tonight,
the right assured in the election law is
not to be used as a right but is to be
abused. The plan is to swear against
Republicans, principally colored voters
and ignorant whites, and in no case
against men in whose case tie in
spector would feel sure the oath was not
sincere.
| The plan is to be worked only in view
OF the failure OF such schemes as the
Democrats are now working to keep a
sufficient number of Republican voters
from the polls. If colored men cannot be
gotten drunk and thus arrested to be Jailed
until after election, or cannot be per-
suaded to sign agreements to remain
away from the polls for a consideration
and then to be arrested for offering to re-
ceive that consideration, as is contem-
plated in Kenton hundred-if these plans
fail then the oath regarding bribery will
be taken in wholesale lots on election
day.
Although men who are in the same
class as those to be challenged are ex-
pected to take the oath on Tuesday, yet
in two cases, it is stated tonight at 8
o'clock, leaders long since disreputable
are to perjure themselves in this final
desperate effort to carry the county for
County Chairman Hawkins, R. R. Ken
ney, L. Irving Handy and other Demo-
cratic leaders.
A terrible condition of affairs may pre-
sent itself in this county on election day
if this last scheme is attempted, as the
only resource left the Republicans for
protection against such action would be
to fight back at the same method. This
would be the means of many men in
each party losing their votes. On the
eve of election it looks very much as
though Kent county will experience
trouble in its conduct of this election.
The Democratic ring is dying hard, and
in its desperation is supported by the
men whom it nominated on the county
ticket, who are Handy men and in favor
of any method by which Kent county's-
legislative nominees can get to the Gen
eral Assembly, there to vote for Handy
for United States Senator. and to do the
bidding of Hawkins and the other Kent
county leaders.

WILMINGTON. DELAWARE, SUNDAY. NOVEMBER g. 1898.

they claim. will give 40 majority, and
Little Creek so. The former figure is
less than one.half the usual Democratic
majority in Duck. Creek, and, hence, it
can be seen that the Democrats OF that
hundred are not in the best shape possi-
BILE. In that hundred, as we'll as others,
the same feeling exists among the honest
Democrats, that the party must be purged
of John D. Hawkins, James R. Lord,
Richard r. Kenney and John F. Sauls-
bury as leaders.
Kenton hundred, in the Third Repre-
sentative, is claimed to be very close,
and though previously Democratic the
Democrats do not make any estimate as
to the outcome there.
The greatest uncertainty prevails as to
the result in the First Senatorial Dis
trict, where the fight for State Senator
between DIR. ]. G. Moore, Republican,
and Stephen Slaughter, Democrat, has
been hard one. Neither party claims
the Senator from this district.
The Second Senatorial District contest
favors }. Frank Alice over Gildersleeve,
and is so conceded by many Democrats.
Mr.. Alice has taken stand for honesty
in this campaign, and for election day
proposes to see that not only in his dis
trict, but all over the county an honest
election is held.
Honest Democrats and Republicans
have determined that Kent county must
and shall have an honest election and
that the Democratic gang who have dis
graced their party and themselves shall
no longer WELD control.
In East Dover hundred the Democrats
have arranged to get the colored men in
toxicated, place them in Jail and keep
them locked up until Wednesday.
