The daily gazette., 1878-02-06


SEEKING TO CREATE DIssENsIoN.-
Mr.. Vim. Dean is out in another long
communication in jenkins old CONNER
D,erciai condemnig the editor of the GA
zETTE of supporting Horace Greedy for
President in 1872. He is neither tair nor
truthful in his statements; and carefully
evasive of what has been charged upon
him. But he avails himself of the op-
portunity to be outspoken in denuncia-
ton of other gentleman in the party
whom we have reason to believe are
more just and honorable than himself.
He complains that we used the names of
Hon. T. f. Bayard, Hon. Eli Salisbury,
Hon. T. b. Biggs and Hon. VIM. G.
Whiteley, in defending the GAZETTE
for its support of the nominee of the
Democratic Convention of 1872.
We used the names of these gentlemen
because they were delegates to the Con-
vention. They went into it under the
pledge that they would support the
nominee; and every delegate to the
Democratic Convention in Delaware
which sent delegates there was impiedly
bound tosupport the nominees. Senator
Bayard's letter to J.P. Cochran, Esq. urged
united support for the nominees. We
have not the time to bestow upon Mr..
Dean now that his long article deserves.
But while he invokes the aid of his
"friend Samuel Townsend, Esq" we
will just request Mr.. Dean to explain
another little irregularity as a party man
and a good Democrat which he claims to
be, and should be to have the unlimited
influence in the party which he claims
Why did he endeavor to upset all party
rules and regulations and avoid the we'll
beaten path to the nomination of Sheriff,
few years since, by sending circulars all
over the county nominating his particu-
lar friend VIM. Reynolds, late Treasurer
of the Poor, for Sheriff, without submit
ting the nomination to an election by
ballot. in conformity with the rules of the
party? Mr.. Deans prejudice against the
GAZETTE, it seems from his writings is
OF long standing, and we presume that
was his reason for wishing to curtail its
influence with the Democratic masses,
and his union with the late Poor Treasu-
rer and few other men from this and
Kent and Sussex, with limited means and
INSUFFICIENT influence to get up paper for
their own purposes. Mr.. Dean ought to
have an organ, but we do not know that
he could be better served than he is by
jenkins old Commercial, that is ready to
DO any amount of stabbing to the char
acter of Democratic candidates, and no
doubt would support negress for Presi-
dent of the United States, since its friend
T1lton some day hopes to see one in that
chair.
When Mr.. Dean asks for proof that
what he says is not true, he forgets that
his character for accuracy and exact ve-
racity has not been unassailableis doubt
ful, and that he has not yet established
the truth of his various allegations by
irrefragible proof The dealer in small
ISLANDERS is always expected to prove his
assertions and we have rather too much
dignity to stop in our labors to 90 seeking
proof to convince so brilliant a retailer
IN sophistry and romance as Mr. Dean of
the truth of his erratic averments about
the Levy Court men, Senator Ray,
Messrs. Eastburn, Weir, Hawthorn, ct al.
oytnttum. Mr.. DIS memory is bad, as
some receipts at New Castle, we are told,
will attest.
