Worcester, Mass, May est.

Letter for Mr.. POstles,

Sir:-To the voters of the Sixth ward
Political cXpcdiency demands the election
of Thomas u. Postles and it is to be
hoped that the voters of the ward may
see it in that light. Times too numerous
to recall we have called on the colored
man to support men of our own race who
were candidates for office and they have
Responded to the call and stood by the
candidates of our party with absolute
loyalty in a mass. The isolated excep-
tons are so few as not to be worthy of
consideration.
Political supremacy of the Republican
party in the city of Wilmington and State
of Delaware, as to the future depends
on the white Republican voters of the
Sixth ward on next Saturday. II your
action is favorable and results in the
election of Mr.. Postles, the supremacy
car and will be maintained beyond all
doubt But suppose your action is such
that the result is the defeat of Mr.. Pos
ties, what then? There is but one logical
conclusion and answer in that event. and
that is, the Republican party would be
deprived in the future of that which
has been the great factor in its success
in the past. And that factor as is well
known is the c0lored vote.
We cannot afford to force the coored
man out of the Republican party, il
would mean our loss to do so. Again,
it would not improve his condition and
therefore would be q loss to him as well.
Republican voters of the Sixth ward
measure fully the responsibility that is

Dover, May 30,-Although the
owner of many houses and lands,
Henry Kelum is in Jail, and would
rather stay there and suffer in duress
than pay small fine of not more
than $500, imposed by Magistrate
Wood for contempt Of court. Kel-
lum was in trouble with one of his
tenants and was before the magis-
trate when he was called to order for
swearing. The landlord did not like
that sort Of treatment and therefore
began to abuse the court, and after
refusing to pay the fine imposed, he
continued with his inyectives all the
way to prison.

I To the Republican Voters of the
Sixth Ward.
Editor of The Sun:
Sir:-To the Republican voters of the
Sixth ward. l notice that the Demo
Gratis OF this city with the aid of the
Democratic press, are endeavoring to de-
feat the election Of Thomas T.. postles,
the Republican nominee for the Office of
member of City Council from the Sixth
ward of this city. on account of his
color exclusively. No other reason is at
tempted to be assigned why Thomas Il.
Postles is not in every respect as well
qualified to fill that position as the ma
jority Of the candidates of the Demo
cratic ard Republican nominees for City
Council, who are to be voted for on
Saturday next
At the Republican nomination election
In the Sixth ward there were three can
didates, two Of them were white men and
the other, Thomas e. Postl.s, n colored
man. The election for the selection of
candidates to be placed on the Republic
can ticket for city officers at the next
city election in the Sixth ward was fair
ly and honestly conducted: every vote
cast was honestly Tailed and Thomas L.
Postlcs received plurality Of 81 votes
over the highest vote polled in said ward
for the white candidates. He was
honestly nominated by the Republican
voters of said ward. Thomas T.. Postles
has for years been actively identified as
a worthy Republican citizen thereof; he
is a man Of untarnishcd reputation and
is justly entitled, as the Republican nomi-
nee. to the vote of every Republican
qualified voter therein. Thomas T.. Pos
ties has never faltered in his support of
the nominees Of the Republican party
and no man who has the interest Of the
Republican party In view will vote
against him on account Of his color He
il entitled to, and should secure the solid
Republican vote Of the ward.
