Office holders, to strip The people of their
political rights and loot the public treas
uries.
No one can forget how tenaciously
the Democrats held ON to the outrageous
delinquent tax law by which they were
able to make Democratic maiorities ut
will, and pay their campaign expenses
out of the county treasures This was
expressing the people and looting pub
lie treasures. During the whole of This
Democratic Administration of State af-
fairs, Democratic office holders have
been robbing tile people by the outrage
Gus fee SYSTEM in vogue iii the county
was made with the deliberate intent to-
disfranchise Republicans could not be
repealed so long as the law gave Demo-
Gratis control of the law making and law
administering power of the State. 1t
had to be done by constitutional enact
ment and that was only accomplished by
a Republican victory in the constitutional
convention campaign. In two elections
the movement was Defeated by Demo-
Gratis, and it was NOT until tire Republ-
cans had exposed the Democratic trick
and its outrageous consequences that the
Democrats in the constitutional conyen-
tion We're compelled to wipe ont the
iniquitous law That, however. has not
eformed-cunverted- Democratic
party to just and liberal political poll
cies. II is as intent as ever in pursuit of
success at the expense of Justice and
truth. 1t promises no reforms bIr
pledges itself 10 continue the same hon
tofore.' There never was an honest
and economical Democratic government
in Delaware. The Democratic platform
therefore means to pledge that party 70
i continuance Of tne same dishonest
/ Democratic government as heretofore
! That is the pledge. Is there anybody
that cares for The interests of the State,
for the well being of the people for
thair enjoyment Of theil political rights
and for the honest economical admins
tiution Of their local affairs, who be
property ana officers are public sen.
wants that wants the "heretofore' Dam
ocratic State government of Deawar,
continued? There are 10 such people
Tie people Of this State want good
liberal and honest government. The.
never have and never can get that Will
the Democratic party in rover
The issue therefore is not the Sena
torial election. 1t is the defeat of tn
Democratic party in order to rid h
State of the abuses which long continue
the people 1t is because this is und,
: niable, that it is generally known an
conceded that Every Evening, with i
