A Chance for Delaware.

from the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The Delaware Legislature has made
some amends for tho unsatiafaetor,y
outcome OF the senatorial contest in the
hnal passage OF the act repeating the
voters assistant law. This iniquitous
law was an essential part Of the ma
chinery by which the triumph OF com
mercial politics was accomplished in
delaware. One OF the AddiclIs sena-
tors, In opposing the repeal, declared
boldly that the system Of assisting
voters whs necessary, because It in
sures the delivery Of the goods" When
he bought vote, he said. he wanted
the vote, and did not wish to be cheat
ed out OF 1t.
This frank avOwal explains fully the
purpose OF the voters assistant law
Ostensibly, II is to provide assistance
for illiterate voters in marking theii
ballots; practically, in Delaware. It es
ltabhshes an espionage over the voters
who are kept under observation, fol
lowed into the booths. where their bal
lots are marked for them, and followe,
to the ballot4box, to see that they de

CONNER SHOULD GO FURTHER

Senator Conner in his passionate ap-
peal for the retention Of the voters
assistant law. put it on high moral
grounds It enables a man who buys
vote to do 50 with some certainty Of
delivery. 1t gives some assurance TO
the merchant who deals In the COM
modify of men. that there will be no
cheating. He says: "If I buy a horse,
] want to get that horse" and insists
that to repeal the law would be in re-
siraint of trade. Now that the repeal
bill is I'M the hands OF Governor HUM.
he will have ample time to weigh and
digest Ssuater Conners argument.
But this stirring plea brings to no
tice a source of injustice which should
he remedied by law. We are con
fronted by the fact that for mRny years
men have spent their good money in
purchasing votes, many OF which have
never been. delivered. This must be
stopped, and a more direct way than
the votms' assistant act should be
found. We would suggest a law some
thing like the following:
Be It enacted by the Senate and
House or Representatives OF the State
of Delaware i'm General Assembly met;
Section /. That from and after the
passage Of this act a vote bought by
! any citizen shah he the property O1
the purchaser. and the title shall res

shall be subject TO the direction Of tn
Purchaser until said vote shall hav
been cast.
Section 2. Any voter who. afte
taking money or any other valuabl
thing for his vote shall cast his ballo

chaser, shall be deemed guilty Of a fel
