We do not believe there is any reason
to fear that the election in this State on
Tuesday next will not be conducted with
thorough fairness, from first to last.
There is no danger that the disgraceful
acts committed IN the counting of the
vote of New Castle county two years ago
will be repeated.
Our new Constitution makes every
provision for fair and honest election
one that will correctly record the popular
verdict. We have no doubt that all the
election officers are honest men. bnt if
any of them are inclined to be dishonest
they will hesitate long before they at
tempt any crimes against the ballot, on
account of the certainty of detection and
the equal certainty of severe punishment
to follow.
The election ought to be quiet and
peaceful, as well as honest. Thus far the
campaign has been attended with little
excitement, and it is hardly likely that
any great number of people will be
stirred to fever heat by election dav. 1t
is we'll that this is SO, for it indicates
that the people are in a frame of mind to
calmly and intelligently consider the is
sues depending upon the election, and to
vote according to their best judgment.
With peaceable election, and an hon
est one, the people can afford to be salts.
fed with the verdict of the ballots, nc
matter what it may be.-Euery Evening.
The election inspectors in all sections
of Delaware will perform their duties
with due regard for the law. They will
not be influenced by threats of either de-
tectives or prison bars. Knowing what
the law expects of them they will do it,
regardless OF consequences The sooner
the Regular Republicans and Addicksites
come to understand this the sooner they
will cease their senseless rawlings. .-Even

The law requiring the payment of {
dollar to registration officer before {
citizen can vote, was enacted by Demo
Gratis in order to disfranchise the labor
ing classes. By cutting down the mum
ber of voters they hoped to keep tn,
legislation of the State in Democratic
hands and fill the various offices will
Democrats. The arrangement wa
prompted by arlstocratc Democrats, ant
the working people, without re
spect to party affiliations, should resen
this abridgement of their inalienabl
right to vote. If they do not do so the,
may find at some session of the Legisla
ture their rights still further curtailed
1t should be made easy to every bona
fde citizen to qualify to vote. Th
registration fee should not be over fit
cents, and perhaps every man could pa
it without complaint. The impositio
of penalty for loaning man dolla
promises to become burIesque, as
only tends to law breaking. 1t is strongl
surmised that hundreds of Democrat
were Siven the dollar necessary to req
lister, at the same the leaders of the part
were denouncing the violators of the Law
The proper way to secure honest votin
is to depend on residence and not on tn
payment of money. In our country tn
right to vote should be given to ever
honest resident, and the attempt to dis
> franchise man because he is poor is a
act that everyone, except he is an aristt
crat. should resent.-Daily Republican
Only three days more.
S Will there be many of I, told, you, s
, lightning calculators.
Col. Henry A. du Pont and Postmaste
! Hugh G. Brown held quite long cha
yesterday afternoon. Did you secure tn
seat, Colonel?
Has the document or deed that con
: firmed Mr.. Clerk of the Peace Foard bee
filed?
Squire McNulty kicked because ther
is to be no peace officers.
The last shot of the Republican cam
paign will be fred off in the Bijou The
