The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1899-05-31
POLITICS OF
ALL KINDS.

He was only defeated two years
ago by 232 votes. This year his
friends say he will overcome that
vote and have over 200 majority.
This remains to be seen. Predic.
tions are all right, but it takes the
votes to determine the result.
The Every Evening is boosting
Robert G. Harman for City Solici-
tor, advising it's readers to cut
Henry c. Conrad.
Don't cut your ticket on election
day, but if you insist on cutting it,
here is the way to do it:
''If a voter wishes to vote a
"mixed ticket" he shall stamp the
square, enclosing the device at the
head of any ticket, and shall cross
out with a black lead pencil the
name of any person under the
square so stamped and insert in
lieu Of the name so crossed out, the
name of any other person nominat-
ed tor the same Office as the person
whose name is crossed out, using
only a black lead pencil for such
purpose.
Something has apparently chang
ed numerous colored voters. What
can it have been? They are not
whooping it up very loud this cam
paign. 1t has been rumored that a
large number of them intend to
support VIM. B. Clerk for Mayor.
DR.. Fahey says he will give both
the Republican candidates for may
or one of the worst defeats any Re-
publican has ever had in this city
on Saturday. 1t is said the Doctor
mixes up a nasty dose when he has
desperate case on hand. This is
one of them.
He might, while he is about it,
mix up Hibernian pill for the
Every Evening.
The Sun this morning contains
an excellent likeness of VIM. B.
Clerk, the Union candidate for
Mayor. 1t is a credit to the man 1t
represents.
Only three more days and the
voters will have decided who shall
be mayor.
AS the Prohibitionists and Single
Takers have no candidate for City
Solicitor, they will have to vote for
either one of the two candidates
on the Republican and Democratic
tickets.
Charles W. Gooding is building
big hopes Of being elected to Coun-
Gil from the Fifth ward and is max
ing the llveliest kind of canvass.
George w. Bush never owned a
share Of Gas Stock in his life, there
fore he has no interest IN the Will
mington Gas Company. He is SELL
ing coal cheaper than it can be
purchased in Philadelphia. He is
a representative citizen and has
done more to build up the city than
any other merchant in Wilmington.
Vote early, but not often ON Sat
1rday, but be sure to vote.
In the event Of DR.. John C. Fahey
being elected Mayor, John T. Dick.
" will succeed William T. Simmons

II Department.
