How would it do for the Regular Re

Gratis to organize the House? We be
lieve that unless they do something o
that kind the recognition which they
receive from the Addicksites will be in
adequate and unsatisfactory. The com

The ballot of Delaware should be sim
plifed SO that no voter should or could
by any manner of means of dishonest
election officers be deprived of his vote
ION the day Of election). The simpler
the ballot the better. The Australian
ballot has been tried and found deficient
in Delaware. The Democratic party,
which invented it, when it was put into
force thought they had adopted ballot
that would disfranchise hundreds of
Republicans and keep the State solid
Democratic for all timo to come. But
they have awakened to the fact that they
have been fooled even worse than the
party they had for years been counting
out at the polls, election after election.
The new Constitution was one step
towards an honest count even if dis
dishonest ballot was used. The marking
of the ballot was another one of the
schemes whereby dishonest election
officers could refuse to count the ballots
after they had been honestly and proper
ly voted But even in this game which
worked in some instances to the gain OF
the Democratic party failed, they then
found fault with the judges opening the
ballot boxes in cases Of dispute and re-
counting the votes and passing Judgment
upon the validity OF the ballots which
had been thrown out by the election
officers selected for that purpose. 1t
looks now as if several OF these rascally
inspectors and election officers would be
punished for the part they took in try
/ ing to overcome Republican majorities
in several districts and thereby count in
the Democratic candidates. The day of
reckoning has come at last for the men
who have polluted the ballot boxes and
! turned our elections into mere farces All
the Republicans of Delaware ask for is
an honest ballot and fair count. daily
