man to stand for the position.
For the office of sheriff T. D. Tay-

out his knowledge or sanction and
he declined the invitation. Sheriff
Taylor was then invited by a unan-

OCTOBER REALTY MARKETS
Months Building Transactions a Re-
cord Breaker in Point Of Valuation.

With the exception OF the month Of
April Of the present year. a larger num-
Der Of property transfers were record d
at the city registry bureau this month
than. any month since the year 1859 when
tho monthly record was first inaugurated.
The amount Of money at which the total
transfers were valued was larger by far
than any previous record, even that Of
April
During October 2S4 transfers were made.
The amount Of money at which these are
valued is 1888, 4ss.S2. Many properties that
changed hands were valued at thousands
Of dollars but the transfers were simply
formal exchanges from one holder to an
other and the sum involved was the
nominal figure of one dollar or five dol
lars according to law. The value Of such
properties of course could not be included
In the total sum given above, otherw'sa
the figures would run close to the mill
lions.
For the month Of April Of this year 243
transfers were made and the value was
about the same as for October This
shows the condition OF the real estate
market in this city and is evidence of the
fact that this line Of business is enjoying
a great boom which promises to be in
creased during the ensuing months

FIGURES ARE INTERESTING
Republican Expenditures Far Less
Than Those Of Democrats.

Although there is no Levy Courtmen
to elect az this election the Democrats
have sought to draw that body into a
political controversy.
A few figures since the Re-
publicans assumed control OF Levy
Court may not be amiss at the
present time. In 1S96-1S97 when the
Adams tax law went into effect there
was a considerable amount Of money
collected. When the Republicans gained
control Of the Levy Court in 1901 they
were compelled to refund 100000 of the
money that had been paid I'm. Since
that time they have paid off IN county
bonds si5O,0O0 and for good roads have
been spent the sum Of $4,000. and all
this has been done at a reduced rate Of
taxation.
Comparing the expenditures Of the
Fourth and Fifth districts which are
represented by Republicans TO that Of
the Sixth and Seventh districts repre-
sented by Democrats for the years
1904 O5-O6 we find the following figures
taken from the auditors report for
1906.
Fourth district O9Oi-O5), S55s6.7s;
Fourth district u9O5-os) s26s5.87.

Editor The Evening Journal
The Democratic party is the natural
enemy OF the colored man. They have
opposed every law, federal or state,
which has had for its purpose the up
lift Of the colorcd race. Every colored
man with a grain Of sense knows this
to be true. The Delaware Democratic
leaders at the present time are very
solicitous concerning the poor negro.
Who Will be allured by their false pre-
tense? How can the Democratic party
hide its record Of opposition TO our
people2 IL has opposed every law
which elevated him TO citizenship. II
has suppressed his vote in all commu-
mites where they have controlled. and
denied him every right common to cit
izens. Il has pledged itself as a party
TO oppose the citizenship Of the negro.
The Democratic party does not want
our votes on terms Of manhood. II
conducts a still hunt for black votes
which can be bought. Under Republi-
can rule In Delaware the colored man
can vote with the fullest freedom. To-
day the Democratic party stands as a
dlscredited party IN the eyes Of decency,
and now II has the impudence to seek
the oolored mans vote through the sop
called Union Republicans. No sane
colored man will so lose his manhood
yb supporting such ticket, nor win
ally ourselves with such n party whose
entire record has been one OF unbrokon
opposition to his citizenship. Vote the
Republican ticket and uphold General
