At some OF the voting
places few ballots with the numbers

But not so I'm the outer districts. where
the native vote was the heaviest and
the republican ticket was beyond any
question the weakest. Protests In
those precincts were OF no avail and
the ballots were deposited In the
boxes, numbers attached. In the
strongest democratic precinct no less
than 30 of these ballots were put into
the box before orders to stop the work
were received, and in another precinct
eighty-two were deposited, while in the
precinct where the strongest native on
the ticket resided no less than sixty
two ballots with the numbers attach

Another means of forcing the natives
to vote the republican ticket was to
give each man a sample ballot and
have him put this ballot under the
regular one so that the impression of
the marks he had put upon the Off
cial ballot would show on the sample
and prove to the republican 'heeler"
outside of the booth that the goods"
had been delivered.
Nobody has as yet been found to pub
licly admit responsibility for the way
in which the number on the ballot was
used as a means OF getting votes for
republican candidates.
This publication, in an obscure main
land newspaper might work great
harm to the Territory and its people
to say nothing of Governor Carter.
Printed in a paper so widely read and
copied as the New York Herald its
power for evil is simply incalculable.
And it is so utterly and palpably false
in all its statements. Everybody, even
the fatuous idiot who wrote it for the
few dollars he was paid by the Herald,
knows that. The idiot who wrote 1t
must have known n was false when he
was writing it.
1t is clearly another case of an enc

midst. Honolulu has suffered from
this kind of thing before.

HORACE c. KNOWLES
TALKS ON POLITICS
Tells Why in His Opinion
Congressman Should Come
From This City

For several days there has been a rumor
on the street to the effect that Horace g..
knowles, the Republican candidate for
Congress. would be agreed on as COM
promise for Governor. which would leave
the road clear for DR.. Hiram r.. Burton,
the Union Republican candidate for Con-
gress. Mr.. Knowles states that he has no
aspirations to become Governor but would
like TO go TO Congress.
on this subject he gave out an inter-
view last night. He said;
1T has been twenty years since
Wilmington has had a Congressman, and
never In It's history does the city need
one more than now. The much needed
improvements TO the harbor. which have
been advocated with so much zeal and
earnest work by the Wilmington Board
of Trade for several years depends very
largely upon the activity and personal in
terest in the matter of the Delaware Con
/ gresham.
by reason Of the lack of deep water
IN the Christiana River, our shipyards
have lost contracts within the last ten
years for building number OF very large
steamships, aggregating millions Of dol
lars, the greater part of which had the
contracts been secured. would have been
distributed among tho worlxingmen and
merchants Of Wilmington. The threatened
attack upon the tariff by Presidential cam
didate Parker has alarmed the manu-.
facturefs and workingmen OF Wilmington
and unless their interest be looked after
/ in any change of the tarifl many. if moi
an. of the manufacturing industries of
Wilmington may be seriously affected. ana
the workingmen compelled TO seek Other
kinds OF employment in other places.

portance TO the people of Wilmington
that all classes of her people-includin,

TWO BITS OF LUCK.
An Incident In Which the Good and
Had TraEicaIIy Mixed.

The late senator Vest Of Missouri
used to tell story OF good luck and
hard luck without counterpart, ac
cording to the Buffalo Commercial.
One day, while he was a member Of
the Confederate congress. he lost q
months pay somewhere on the streets
Of Richmond. Just as the woman IN
Scripture who lost piece Of silver
called together her friends and neigh
bors and sought diligently until she
found it, he called his friends and
went with them on what seemed q
hopeless search through the snow Gov
cred, dimly lighted streets of Rich
mond The chances were a thousand
to one against success I'VE hadn't
been ont fifteen minutes when young
lieutenant in our party stopped down
and picked up my lost roll. | was In
high glee and wanted to treat. We
were piloted to n cafe which, pending
some repairs, had a ladder Of about a
dozen rungs instead of stairs. We all
climbed up. considering II great lark,
all the while talking about what a
lucky fellow the young lieutenant was
and predicting great things for him
AS we climbed down again the young
lieutenant fell from the ladder and
broke his neck"

city Treasurer Frederick c. Mann
mele has received from Spain request
for $1,000 in order to receive a large

ing married sister OF the city treas-
