The evening Republican., 1902-06-23

The people at large do not ap-
pear to be much concerned as to
who will be the two next United
States Senators. The pencil push
ers thus far are doing all the talk
ing. The voters will be heard from
some time later on. The people
ara told that this man and that
man will not do. That he made a
bad record because he voted for
two United States Senators, but
which unfortunately resulted in no
election. Several OF the members
of the last Legisture are candidates
for denomination this year. What
their chances are we do not know.
The voters will decide that in No
vember. But who ever the Repub-
lican candidates are they should De
elected. There is considerable skir-
mishing being done to head off this
or that candidate by certain men.
It remains to be seen what infu-
ence they WELD and what the re-
suit will be on election day. 1t will
require as much money to be circu-
lated during the nomination cleo
ton as on election day to get up an
interest in the several candidates.
We don't think any candidates will
refuse all the help he can get and
all the votes procurable. From the
present outlook the coming cam
paign will be as warm and exciting
one as ever has taken place in
Delaware. The voters assistant is
expected to cut quite figure and in
fact big results are expected by
their help. The Governor appoints
the inspectors and assistants which
should be something in favor of
the Republican party. Hundreds
of votes have been thrown out by
rascally inspectors in the past which
this time will be prevented by hav-
ing majority of Republican in
spectOrs.
But the people are the ones who
should be appealed to and their
sentiments found out. Whether
they want two vacancies in the
United States Senate or two Repub-
lican Senators. Both factions will
have to make up their minds to
give and take. The Regulars should
have one man of their choice and
the Union Republicans the right to
the same privilege. Neither faction
has Il right to say who the other
faction should offer as the candidate
Of their choice.
BURGLARS appear for the time
being to be devoting their attention
to the residents of Newport, and
several attempts We're made last
week to enter houses in that village
Fortunately the thieves were scared
off before thsy We're able to secure
any plunder. 1t is to be hoped that
the bold burglars will be caught and
made to serve a term in the Work
house. Several houses On the out
skirts of the city have been broken
into and only money taken, the
thieves evidently not being after
anything but money. OF five
dwellings entered, nothing was tax
en- but what loose change could be
found lying around. The wolk ap-
pears to be that of amateurs and
not professionals. They have thus
far puzzled the police, who have
been unable to catch them and stop
their depredations. A good Shot
gun is a handy thing to have around
the house to give them a warm re
Ceptiou if they happen to break in
to your house.
H. G. RETTEW, Receiver Of Taxes
for the county, sold several proper
ties on Saturday for taxes due the
county. He advertises some ten or
twelve more properties in the Re-
PUBLICAN, which he willsell in July
if the taxes due on them are not
paid before day of sale. The Levy
Court is determined to collect all
county taxes. and those in arrears
will save cost by calling on the Tax
Receiver and paying up their in
debtedness. The Receiver of Taxes
has no option but to sell the proper
ties upon winch the back taxes are
due. He has to obey the Levy
Court and is not to blame for the
steps he has taken to force the pay
ment of county taxes.
IT is now proposed to drive the
anarchists from Patterson, N. J.
