A RAn STREET

We desire to call the attention
Of our Town Commissioners to
the condition Of the sidewalk on
Lake street East Of the Hose
House. We have had our atten-
ton called to it several times and
on Thusrday evening last, after
the rain we made personal ex-
animation. To say that the side
walk is in bad condition but
family expresses it. The road
for nearly all the way out is
nearly ankle deep with mud, and
in at least two places, one of
which was yards in length the
water is over shoe-tops. Such a
sidewalk should not be permitted
to disgrace the community. The
people who have to use this
street are taxpayers and citizens
and as such are entitled to and
should have a good pavement to
travel on. This does not neces-
sarily mean brick, but there are
many ways to make a good side
walk. The property owners
should be forced to make the
necessary repairs either by a
good gravel path or to put down
a good plank walk, and this
should be done at once. Condi-
tions will not improve but with
bad weather will rapidly grow
worse.

DELAwARE DEMocRsrTC Mrr,ron,

In addition to its work Of elect
ing two United States Senator's
the Legislature Of Delaware.
now in session at Dover, will be
called upon to decide three con
tested election cases. They are
all Of an interesting character by
reason Of the revelations that
will be made of the methods by
which the Democracy sought to
keep itself in power. The most
interesting, perhaps, will be the
Senatorial case of Ross VS.. Nc
Nulty, which has for the scene
Of it's action an election district
in Wilmington.
In this case Howard DeHaven
Ross, Regular Republican, is
contesting the seat of Senator
McNulty, Democrat, on the
grounds of gross irregularities
and fraud in his election. The
evidence that will be adduced in
behalf of Mr.. Ross claim will
read, it is said, like page from
an election contest in the "black
belt" The methods adopted in
both cases bear striking SINH
larity.
Witnesses who will be presen-
ted to the Committee on Privi-
legesand Elections will show, it is
claimed, that in one polling
precinct in Wilmington the De-
mocrats held up the election un-
til 2 o'clock in the afternoon, re
fusing to permit any one to vote.
About that hour the polls were
opened, but the Democrats, who
had been notified to be present.
we're formed in line and led off in
the voting with the Republicans
in the rear. After about an
hour Of this sort of thing the
polls were again closed, remained
SO for half an hour and then
opened, and a performance SINH
lar to the preceding one was
again gone through with.
On the face of the returns
Senator McNulty had majority.
It could not well be otherwise
under the tactics resorted to by
his partizans. Mr.. Ross, the con-
testant, has canvassed the dis
trict in question and will present
something like 175 afidavits and
statements from voters, showing
that had they been permitted to
vote they would have cast their
ballots for Ross. Delaware lies
below Mason and Dixon's line,
and it is natural that it should
adopt the methods Of carrying
elections in vogue in the South.
With Republican control Of the
State there will be an en- d of
this, and Delaware will be the
better for it.
