urging upon the Democratic voters the
expediency of paying their dollar and
qualifying TO vote ut the next election.
The fact that members Of the Legislature
are to be elected who will select the U. S.
Senator to succeed Senator George Gray
has considerable significance. The Demo.
cratic lawyers Have come to Senator Gray's
help and will address all these ward meet
tngs. The mechanic and puor working
man. receiving less than a dollar day
registration law by the representatives of
the party that made the law possible. The
Democratic members of that constitution.
al body wanted to mako tho voters pay 50
before they should enjoy tho rights and
privileges guaranteed unto them by the
constitution Of the United States. The
Idea was to knock out the colored voters,
and they have done more than they intend.

out large part Of the Democratic voters,

Same as blood money. Voting should be
made easy and no obstacles placed in the
way OF the voters as has been done in Della
ware for forty years past The Cubans
were not treated worse in their franchise
than the Republicans of Delaware. With
election machinery in Democratic hands,
they have an advantage which ia hard to
overcome, when the sentiments of the
people are cooked up 20 suit the wilkins
OF the men holding the elections. If ever
there was q time for men to arlse and shake
oil their shackles, now is that timc. The
next Senator from Delaware should, by all
means, be Republican. The remedy is
In your hands, will you take advantage of
the opportuntyf The opposing party will
make the fight of its life this election.
Defeat now means Republican supremacy
In the State for years to come. An honest
vote will show Republican majority such
rs no man ever dreamed Of. The first step
to accomplish this, will have to be full
registration of every Republican, black IS
well as white. Now Is the opportunity of
the colored voter to show that he can't be
diSranchised, owing to the payment of
q that will enable him to properly qualify.
BUSINESS has commenced to pick IN in
Wilmington, The boom generally strikes
cur city last, but when it comes our manu-.
facturers generally manage TO secure u
share OF it. We should like to SEQ our
ahtuUa rlo l,,,ci l,,,t 10, n
outlook for vessel building is better than
for years. Surely business under the Nc
kinley administration has taken WON
desful stride forward compared with that
under the Cleveland administration. when
m1ls and factories closed down and SOUP
honsos had to be opened in the winter to
feed the poor and destitute. Securities
have commenced to respond to the good
times and the outlook is surely better thun
Tor years past. We hope it may continue
for the next ten years.
The primary election of the Republican
party will be held throughout New Castle

tween the hours Of | and z o'clock p. H..

OIL Tuesday August %, 1898 One thing |
should be Impressed upon tho minds of |
every Republican voter and that is that
only those who have ropis,e before the
alst day OF August can cast ballot on the
day OF nomination and election. This |
fact should be borne ia mind and every
man who has any pride and interest in the !
country i'll which hn lives, should take
the trouble 20 get registered, 50 he can cx-
ereise thu franchise Guaranteed him uudcr

THE soldier boys atMldlietuwn arc "gain
set to guessing what will become Of them,
whether they will goto MiGdlctown, Pa,
or be disbanded We should think, as
there Is going TO te nothing for the troops
to DO, the best thing the Government
can DO, under tho clrcuin, tanCcs, would
be to muster them out Of service. We arc
afraid the weeks Of illeness at Middiptoyn
will not do the ma ority Of the soldier bows
any good after they return to a civilians
life. 1t seems to us the Legh of folly to
send them to MiddIctown, Pa, to only 10
into camp, If Uncle sam has no uso for
them, they had better be Gisbanded.
WE would call the attention of thu
street ard Sewer Commissioners to tho
Of Washington street between
Eigh h and Ninth. The pavomcn, is GER !
tainiy In bad condition anu should DO
taken up and put down again before WIN
ter sets in. The roadway Is all hills and
L0loWs with lon. hollow running
through the contrc Of the driveway for !
some thirty yards We should think it
would DO cheaper to take up this pavement
anu Tx 1t now han TO leave it in its pres
eht condition any length Of time From
the rumblluR noise made when n wagon
passes over it, it was not put down prJp-
erly in the first place.
HE present outlook for tho candidates |
who are out Tor the different county Offices
j. that they will not be called upon to
spend near as much money as they have
formerly. This will be welcome news and
at the .amo time will require an active
personal canvass on their part.
GANG Of cuunterfeiters, who have
been operating in Dover have been arrested
and locked up in the Kent county Jail.
The two mon under arrest are Italians.
They have boon under surveillance for
some time, and the capture is considered
good piece Of work
