OFFICIAL RECORDS SHOWING
WHAT HIS POSITION WAS.
HOLDING
HUMAN CHATTELS.
Proof Tlmt lie Held slue
up to the War
und That Mr. Htoekley - » Hands
Clean
in all Other Matters.
The Gazktte charged with a directness
which admitted of noxloubt borne time ago,
that Albert L'urrey, the Republican candidate
for Governor, who now la represented to be
the friend of education, progress and the
colored man, was a slave-holder up to the
time the emancipation proclamation was
issued. Mr. Currey'a position now is very
much at variance with that which his past
actious have advocated. He seems to be the
most progressive citizen in the State, and
bis letter lo Lis fricud, Dick Harrington,
published some time age, showed that Mr.
L'urrey on paper is the friend of education,
while the Gazettk has shown that Mr.
Lurry in private life has been one of the
deadliest enemies free sehools ever had in
Sussex county. Since the Gazettk charged
that Mr. Currcy was a slaveholder, his
friends have been unwise enough to say -it
was uot true. They have even Raid that
Mr. Stockley had owned slaves. The
Gazette had said it could give proof of its
charges, and it now given the proof. It
covers the fact that Mr. Currey was
owner of slaves up to the time they were
freed, aud that Mr. Stockley never owned
any. A search of the assessment lists of
Sussex county shows this, and the follow
ing has been given for publication .
Sr ATM or Dl'.LA WARIt, Nt r 88KX CoirKTY, 88.—
I. VV. H. Tomlinson, dork of the Peace, lu and
for Sum-ox county, in the State of Delaware,
do hereby certify that I havo made diligent
soarch through tlie Records in this offleo and
that from tho year 18ft2 Is nssessod In said
nty to Albert. Currcy thrboslaves,in 1856also
three slaves and in 1HÖ0 he stood asscsed with
five slaves.
In Testimony Whereof I havo hereunto set
hand and aifixed the seal of said office at
Georgetown, this ft rut day of November A. T).,
1*82. William 11. Tomlinson.
Ulork of tho I*
Also the following has been received, and
no better place can be found for it than
alongside the proceeding certificate :
Delaware, Sussex County, ss.—
I. W. It. Tomlinson, Clerk of tho Peace, in and
for Su.wx county, in tho State of Delaware, do
hereby certify that J havo mado diligent search
through the Kecordfl in this otlico and that
Charles C. Stockley has never been assessed
with any slaves.
JnTo'tlmony Whereof I have hereunto set
my hand and affixed tho seal of said office at
Georgetown, this first day of November. A. I).,
William B. Tomlinson,
Clork of tho Peace.
This sets at rest all denial of the Gazette's
charges of Mr. Currcy, and shows him in
his true light. People when they read It
need not wonder why the colored Republi
cans in Sussex will not vote for him.
The following is a copy from the assess
ment in Clerk, of the Peace Tomlinson's
office :

A Tumor Removed.
Drs. T. A. Keables and C. D. E. Ball suc
cessfully removed a large uterine fibroid
tumor, on Friday last, from »Mrs. Alice Tay
lor, wife of William Taylor of B street,
South Wilmington. The operation had
been attempted twice before iu Philadelphia,
but wus unsuccessful. The sufferer has
been considerably reduced in strength by
the operation, but strong hopes are enter

at the request of the arator, who had been

though feeling unwell, he warned to meet
his Wilmington friends face to face and
talk freely and houestly of the campaign.
There had been such a wi le range of ques
tions, all of which had been so thoroughly
discussed that he hardly knew what there
was of interest to say. He spoke of how the

November 7 to settle the most corrupt party
in existence. The Republican party seemed
to believe that the mechanics and working
men were children and wanted to feed them
on milk. A fragment of the party, three
men, were running the whole thing in this
State.
He then explained the matter of protec
tion as the Republican party taught and
understood it—a protection that protected
tho capitalist, who, while making 50 per
cent, on his money, was paying to his work
men only about one-tenth of that amount.
Tariff, as Mr. Hastings understood it, was
the putting of the labor of many into the
pockets of the few.
He then gave the derivation of tho word
tariff', which came from the name of a little
town in Spain, Tarieffa, commanding the

years ago, the Moors had control and col
lected a toll from all vessels that entered the
channel. If tariff means protection to
workmen he would favor It. The Republi
cans say it means high wages and money
enough for the workmen to lay something
by. But the panic of 1873 proved different,
and the mechanic was getting paid less than
he was 20 years ago. It is not the tariff
which protects the people. It is the in
born skill, brain, head aud hand work
the American mechanic. Throw him on the
prairies and he will make for himself a home
in the wilds and the wilderness.
He dwelt at some length upon the subject,
and declared that tariff means protection
for American capitol and free trade for
American labor. Capitalists were not work
ing for their employ«* but for themselves.
lie then took up the matter of Stalwart
ism, giving the minute details of the origin
of the term "Stalwart" and what it meant.
He told how the honest element of the Re
publican party in New York repudiated
Folger because, while being a good und up
right man, he was nominated by forgery and
fraud. In Pennsylvania, too, the Independ

of Cameron, who represented the Stalwarts
there.

OTHER DEMOCRATIC RALLIES—AN OLD
FASHIONED DAT AT SMYRNA.
The Democrats of Upper Kent county,
Saturday, rallied in gennine, old-fashioned
style, and treated the town of Smyrna to a
demonstration that fairly astonished the in
habitants. It looked like a revival of the
paign spirit oA '44, and old residents
declared that nothing like ^ had been seen
for years.
Visitors began to flock into town at an
early hour, and by 11 o'clock the main
street was cleverly crowded for several
squares. About 12 the procession started,
and the cavalcade moved over the principal
streets, to the great admiration of the spec
tators. It was a unique and interesting
sight. First came about 125 horsemen, who
rode well and displayed a fine
lot of animals, while horses and
riders were gaily decorated with
flowers, evergreens and small flags. They
were followed by a line of wagons and
riages, extending for a quarter of a mile, all
trimmed up in holiday style and some of
them carrying suitable political mottoes.
The school question, as now agitated in
politics, was made a prominent feature of
the parade, and one wagon, containing
three or four imitation colored children
seated among others whose skins were un
touched by burnt cork, was labelled as an
illustration ot "Our Schools Under Republl
Rulc, while the next wagon, filled with
a mc.Ty lot of youngsters, among whom
colored children were not to be found, car
ried a banner on which was inscribed, "Our
Schools Under Democratic Government.
No Mixed Schools for Us."
Two bands—the Diamond State of Mid
dletown and the State Capital of Dover
furnished music for thé parade, and per
formed acceptably. After marching through
principal streets the procession dis
banded. Among the cavalcade were large
delations from Kenton, Clayton "Leipsic,
and the neighborhood adjacent to Smyrna.
In tlie afternoon at 3 o'clock, a meeting
held on Main street, the speaking being
from a f-fcand erected opposite the
Smyrna House. Colonel Henry Clay Doug
lass presided, and an audience of about 500
voters listened attentively to a speech of
two hours' duration by Hon. Thomas F.
Bayard. Tho balcony of the Smyrna House
was crowded with ladies. Mr. Bayard
spoke of Delaware's high credit and honest
government, referred to the corruption that
»revailed in the Republican politics of New
lampshire and other States, alluded to the
gigantic almshouse thefts in Philadelphia,
and dwelt at length upon the personal and
political character of some of the chief
leaders in the Republican party of Dela
ware.
He alluded particularly to the indict
ments pending against the Chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee, and
held that men of such character
to be entrusted with the political coutrol of
an honest and honored commonwealth. Mr.
Bayard also referred to Stalwartism and its
evil effects upon the politics of the country,
and closed with an earnest appeal to his
hearers to go to the polls on Tuesday and
vote to keep the State government iu the
place of those who had managed it so wisely
and judiciously in the past. At the conclu
sion of his speech the afternoon meeting ad

A Difficulty Between the Citypml the E.
L. Martin Democratic Club.
Tlie Ninth ward is somewhat agitated
over what can be termed "The Old
Academy Muddle." The trouble as utyout
this way ;
On Wednesday last the E. L. Martin
Democratic Club received notification f
Llerk of Council Fraim to vacate the build
ing by the next day, as it had been rented to
other parties. The club had been in po
sion of the premises for some time timcland
objected to being so summarily ejected. They
therefore refused to e*o, being advised to
the notification was supposed to be
a little dodge or bulldozing scheme on the
part of the Republicans.
On Saturday, by request of
Abner Bailey, Chairman of the
Public Buildings Committee, Mayor
Walvs detailed Sergeants Decker and Hat
ton and Officer Raymond to eject the Mufti
Club and take possession. When the offi
cers arrived they thought tho building Was
locked, but it was not, and commenced! to
climb into the hack window. A menibei- of
the club saw this and asked Officer Ray

given to Dr. Shortlidge. Saturday night Hie
members borrowed the keys and held an in

"Why," said one of them last night, "we
have spent $75 or $80 out of our own pock
ets fixing up this room. When wc came
here there were no curtains and noth ng
else. We whitewashed and painted. Wh *n
else wants to meet here Iwc
always go out, and let them alone and pay
all gas bill ourselves." "Yes," said another
"and all this Is done for political spite. The
Republicans boasted when they carried the
election that they'd put us out of here.
They said the Republicans should have con
trol of this building. I am iu favor o? test
ing the case in court. They can't put
out on such short notice." This seems to
be the general opinipuof tho whole club and
it was stated Inst night that a warrant had
been issued for the arrest of Officer Ray
mond.
The Republicans claim that when Robèrt
A. Taylor was chairman of the Public
Building Committee of Council ho gave the
Martin Club privilege to use the building to
keep it from going to decay, with the under
standing that possession should he given to
the city authorities upon demand. Coin
plaints had been made, they say, that the
building had been complained of from many
residents of tie Ninth ward, w ho objected
to any political club occupying it. Besides,
one of the city officers stated, the city have
found a tenant for the building, so that it
will be a source of income.

and
t>y
A most daring and ingenious attempt at
fraud ha« been discovered in Kent county,
fortuuately in time t*> render it ineffective,
aud its exposure has been so prompt that ft
will fall flat and only hurt those who
arranged the plot.
The scheme was to have some small and
indistinct mark appear upon the Demo
cratic ballots, which would render tba
tielccts illegal under a strict construction of
the uniform ballot law. The law says there
shall be "no distinguishing mark what
ever," on any of the ballots, and that so far
as their contents are concerned they shaft
be the same.
The tickets were printed at the Delawarean
office and distributed on Saturday In the
various hundreds. A close examination of
them shows that every ticket can be thrown
out, if the quoted technicality in the law ia
brought Into play by the three Republican
Inspectors in Kent. On each ticket in the
word Governor, which heads the ticket, lu
the middle of the letter O there
small and faint cross.
No other theory can be given than that
the employes of the Delawarean who printed
the tickets have been paid to put up the
job. In the printing it would be necessary
to have a special casting of type for the
peculiar letter O which is used.
There is a suspicion that a well-knojrn
gentleman in this city, who bas had con
siderable experience with printing and types,
has had something to do with the plan.
Any way the scheme is just on a par with
many of the past exploits of Chairman
Harrington.
The «parlous tickets have been called in
and new ones will be printed.
