Il is a pleasure to note that the Re-
publican committee of New Castle county
mas made declaration against bribery
az elections. The organization should
DC gwen full credit for its declaration.

but 70 warn all those who mean to have
pure elections that they must keen their
eyes opened or they will be hoodwinked
But that's enough Of the anti-briberv
question this time: let talk about some
thing else. The city treasurer has em-
ployed a competent bookkeeper and in
tends that hereafter the accounts of his
Office shall be kept properly. Two courses
were open TO Mr.. Blaine-to resign or
TO do as he has done. Now we witness
the travesty of a clerk paid out of the
public treasury doing absolutely nothing
to earn his salary. There has been a
great deal said on both sides Of this
question, but the difficulty is not the
young mans color, and not altogether
his competency or incompetency. For
people to elect a public treasurer
making him responsible for the conduct
OF his office, and then give him no voice

grotesque, and after this. unless our

member of the sano party; bank does
not select its officials because of their
