the Democrats will not only elect their
state and county tickets, but also cap
ture several legislative districts which
the trainers Of the new Constitution
designed to be Republican to insure
minority representation. Everything
indicates that it will be a Republican
Waterloo.
RECEIPT NOT NECESSARY.
The Evening Journal wishes to say
to every Democrat that n registration
receipt is in no sense necessary to vote.
If your name is on the books and you
still reside in the district in which you
registered. it is all sufficient If you
have a receipt you can leave it at home
with safety. If you are registered,
your face and residence are the only
qualifications you need. Not one voter
in a hundred has a receipt. They are
Of no earthly use to any honest voter.
A LYING CIRCULAR.
A long Republican circular, purport-
ing to come from the headquarters of
the Delaware Branch Of the National
Sound Money Party, is in circulation,
urging Democrats not to vote for Mr..
Handy. It is a forgery, pure and sim
pie, it's subject matter is a lie out Of the
whole cloth, and no Democrat should
pay the least attention to it.
NO SINGLE TAX SELL OUT.
"The Wilmington Sun in this morn
ing's issue stated that the Single Tax
ers have sold out TO the Democrats,
u
would vote for Handy for congress
man." said a prominent Single Taxer
this morning. In reply to such an as
sertion | wish to state that it is abso-
iutely false. There is no man who
could sell out the Single Takers if he
would nor could he deliver
the goods even though he imagined he
had a bill of sale Of the Single Takers.
Single Takers as individuals will vote
for Handy, but as a party they abso-
lutely will not, any assertion to the
contrary Notwithstanding. Once and
for all, on the eve of the election, let
me say that Single Takers are not for
sale, and that they will vote their own
ticket as a ticket, and for congressman
they will vote as individuals
POLICE PROTECTION.
Chief Of Police Dolan has taken all
necessary steps to prevent disorder at
the polls. In districts where trouble is
likely to occur an equal number of Off
GERS from both parties will be detailed
to preserve peace, and any officer fail
ing to do his duty by reason of politi-
cal preference will be promptly brought
/ before the commissioners.
Chief D0lan does not propose to hav,
any interference from outside parties
or so-called special detectives, as th'
force Of officers at his disposal is thor
oughly competent to look after al
i cases Of disturbance.
