"Ihe registr alton OF yesterday, "
he said. twas the greatest we have
| ever Known. Almost our entire vote
is ready ~ poll, aud for the first time
we will have an honest election this
fall. Ihe Governor has appointed
election officers who are Uuioa Re-
politicians. The Democrats have none
aud they are not we'll registered
Thev have no huney to attend to
this wok. consequently their vote
will Ge small.
They have no State or Federal
patronage and no moneyel men in
their ranks who are willing to con-
tribute unless they see IL certainty.
IN cur ranks every road over
seer and other Union official is
worker. 1t looks to me like Ger
tain succsss.'
This Delaware seaside resort is

Bah is the mainstay OF the "Rcr.

patronage. and the Addicks oppo-
s''ion to him is figured out in this
wise: With Ball ia Congress aud no
Senators, the "Reyulars" get all
The patronage; with Senators ia

Addicks men, the patronage must
be divided.

Ward W. Jenkins, of Dover, said
yesterday that Alice had tried to
trick the Regulars into nominating

have no Union party opponent.
The Democrats are expecting to
