lSixth ward, has sent out carefully
tworded letter to Republicans in which
he asks for the support OF Republicans
] because 'it seems that under existing
conditions it would be sensible for voters
to put politics at one side and vote to
send suitable man to represent the
ward in City Council" Other Demo.
|, cratic candidates are sending out letters
to Republicans.
/ 1t has come to the knowledge Of The
Sun that intimidation will be eXerted in
: some of the wards where the Republicans
should naturally win. In the Sixth ward
: members of the Republican party are
being urged to draw the color line and
in the Ninth ward the claim is being
made by Prince A. Mousley that more
improvements can be obtained by him,
when every citizen knows that all i'm
provements are made by the Street and
Sewer t1onimissioii and that about all
memb6f OF City Council has to do is
to draw his salnry and fix the tax rate.
Under the law the tax rate should
be fixed on the last meeting night in
May, but at Thursday nights meeting
,Of City Council the tax rate was not
fixed, but instead subtcrfugc was used
by the Democratic members, who are in
the majority, to mislcad the citizens by
taking recess until Monday night next
they being fully aware that the rate
must of necessity be raised for the ensu-
ing year. This is cowardly, but then
what else can be expected from past ex-
pericIce.
The Democratic City Committee has
sent out the following letter which we
are sure means that intimidation is to
be p"lpctratcd.
Wilmington. Del. May 90, 1901.
Dear Sir:-The Democratic City Ex-
ccutivc Committee, fully realizing its re-
Sponsibilites TO do all in its power to
compass the success of the Democratic
ticket at the municipal election on Sat
urdaly next. believes that one of the
best means of accomplishing that result
is to remind every Democrat that suc-
cess must necessarily depend on the fact
that he realizes and performs his duty
ON that day. II every Democrat will
make it his special business to vote as
early in the day as he conveniently can,
and will urge his friends and ncghhors
to do So he will relieve this committee
and the workers from much Of the bur
den of getting out n full Democratic
vote, and with full Democratic vote
your committee feels warranted in pre-.
dieting Democratic success for the
Whole ticket.
tur nominees are men against whose
character and fitness to fill the respective
offices. for which they are nominated not
even our opponents have one word of
adverse criticism. and with ticket
which commands the appreciation of
Democrats and commcnds itself TO trr
voter with independent proclivtics. we

Gratis will do their duty.

Strenuous efforts are being made to
carry the SIKH ward against Thomas
Il. roSllcS. and while it will not succeed
we commend the following letters to the |
Republican voters of that ward:
WHY SHOULD NOT POSTLES BE |
ELECTED.
Has he the capabilities? Yes. Is he !
Il %alwart Republican? Yes. Is he hon |
est! Yes. Would the interest of the
Sixth ward suffer if he should be elected? |
Notwithstanding the fact his being |
"olor"d man: No, undoubtedly no, Then |
this being true, Republicans of the
Sixth ward elect him.
White man SIKH ward.
SMITH WARD REPUBLICANS |
ELECT POSTLES.
R"puhlcanS, IS the future of the Re |
publican party TO he imprriIed through
the defeat of Thomas Il. Postles? That
is what hi; defeat would mran And |
that Is why the Democrats are endeayor-
ing to Influence Republicans to cut his
name from the tacket. The issue before
the people in this contest is the future
of the party and principle, not men
should b. the motto. Therefore it is the
duty of the hour to elect Thomas E.
P"stl's. See to it that your duty is not
only done but well done.
White citizen Sixth ward,
An interesting question has been raised
over the election of the collectors for the
city Of Wilmington by the Levy Court.
both were chosen as though the old
districts had not been changed. Sixth
street was formerly the dividing line,
making northern and southern district,
whereas the last Legislature made Mar
kct street the dividing line and making
an eastern and western district Inas.
much as both Of the collectors reside west
OF Market street there is much specula-
ton as to which is the legal collector.
The following shows the way the
Democratic party rewards its party
Collector for the Southern district.
