Year: 1878

We are not prophet nor the son of
prophet, but we have no hesitation in
stating our belief that If all the Republi-
cans who have votes will turn out and
support their ticket, Philip r. Clark will
be the next Sheriff of New Castle coun-
ty, Thomas j. Bennett will be the next
Coroner, and part at least of the Re-
publican Legislature and Levy Court
ticket will be elected. There was never
before so much dissatisfaction by the
Democrats with their ticket, nor great
er disposition to vote for part of the
Republican ticket. Now, that they are
willing to help, let the Republicans turn
out and help themselves. II all who
have votes will do this, the result, we are
confident, will surprise them.-Reptbti-
can.


1t is the strangest thing that the Re
publican always get so far wrong. 1t is
politically blind. We ought to be in
position to know something about the


dissatisfaction" if it existed, and yet


we have not seen any of it, except what


has appeared in the newspapers. In truth
we never knew the nominations TO be so
BehcrdiIy dppToNeu'


The Republican talked the same way
previous to the Mayors election, but the


result showed that it was still ''know


nothing" In fact it is like an old fellow


in his dotage from whom the young Re-


publicans had run away; but OCCASION
ally some old fellow will stop and out of


pity tell it that the Democratic party is


all split to pieces, and if it will only keep


on voting the Republican ticket, the mass


of them will join him and defeat their


own ticket. Aud the Republican laughs


and grins. But on tomorrow night, like


on the night Of the city election, the old


"know nothing" will laugh on the wrong


side of its face when it hears the returns
blow out its lights and retire to slumber
over the general pig-headedness of the


Republican party and its want of conf


dencc in the stories the Republican pub


fishes, and which no intelligent or re-
= flecting person ought to be expected to
. believe.


Il The Democratic ticket will all be
o elected, and so far as we have talked
d with intelligent Republicans, they have
: conceded that the majority of our party
n will be very large.


h, But nevertheless we hope every Dem
,fI ocrat will vote as matter of patriotic


duty. 1t has not been so very lone


since the Democrats We're not allowed
o to vote without passing through bayonet
- and taking an oath that was equiyalen
e to committing perjury to most of us; and
L therefore, we did not vote.


~ In remembrance of this let us vote to
/ morrow; and if our Republican friend
by way of protest stay away from tn
w polls tomorrow, let them compare thei
position now with ours then. They ca
now all vote freely and without hindranc,
1t who have complied with the laws. Eve
IL their colored recruits have the sam
IL privilege that the white man has. Bl
IL the "colored recruit" will not pay h
Z taxes; and hence the white Republican
IL declare they will not vote. That is the


fault not ours. If they had never pa


the taxes of the "colored recruits" pc
is' haps they would not have expected it
ms be done and paid them themselves. TIL,
'te chose their own company. They prefe


red the ''coming man," and exalted hi
he over their white friends, and they lt
OH you TO his company. So don't whine al
III fret about the matter, because we ope
OF our ranks and ask ysur voters to con
'ur with us. We have the same love (
ne them we have for all men and shall n
ere cease to persuade them to come with |
ed so long as we believe we can do the
