GOVERNOR HUM
COMMENDED.
RESOLUTIONS EXPRESS SENTIMENTS
OF ALL TRUE REPUBLICANS.
An Expression Of Highest Respect and
Consideration for His Refusal to
be COeFeed Into Forwarding a
Scheme TO DiSfranchise
Citizens Of This State,

At meeting of the Union Republi-
cans of Wilmington Monday night,
the following preamable and reso-
lutions were adopted, which express
the sentiments of all true Republicans
of in the State.
Whereas, The ballot laws Of this State were all
designed and enacted by the Democratic party
while in undisputed control of the State Assem-
bly,, for the purpose Of DISTINGUISHING Republi-
can voters, and
Whereas, Through the administration OF
these laws by Dem ocratic State officials hundreds
and thousands of Republican voters were con
tiuually disfranchised and hundreds and thous-
ands of Democrats were permitted to vote
illegally under the old Constitution Of the State
through the perversion of that Constitution and
a complicated ballot law, designed to further the
scheme of DISTINGUISHING Republican voters, and
Whereas, Since the amendment of the state
Constitution these complicated ballot laws have
under continued administration of Democratic
election officers, DISTINGUISHED many Republican
voters, and
Whereas, The State Assembly at its recent
session, being controlled by a Democratic and
bolter Republican combination, .disregarded the
governors recommendation tn amend the ballot
laws of the State, and also disregarded his re-
commendation TO so amend the Voters Assistants
law to make it effective in what its opponents
declare it defective, and
Whereas, The voters assistants are the only
persons under the law who can assist voters who
do mot understand the complication of the law,
and thus prevent the loss Of their votes through
jmperlectiou of their ballots; therefore, be it
Resolved, That this Union Republican First
District Committee desires to express its hearty
commentator of Governor HUM for his courage
in maintaing the rights OF the voters whom these
election laws were intended to dis'ranchise. and
TO whom the voters assistants, at the polls, are
the only protection afforded such -oters.
Resolved That Republican voters OF the State
who are loyal to the soirit and the letter of the
Stete and National Constitutions relative to a
free allott for all free men. who owe to Governor
HUM an expression of the highest respect and
consideration for his refusal to be coerced
into forwarding scheme intended to disiran-
chise citizens Of this state and of the United
States, in violation Of the State and National
Constitutions that was invented by the chairman
of the Democratic State Committee, approved and
promoted bv the bolter Republican allies of the
Democratic party. G. W. Roberts,
