ant upon that body, and now he Is to
be turned out, note book, pencils ana
all. His offence was in giving an ac-
count of the high festival kept by the
Representatives on the occasion OF the
election Of new State treasurer, audi
tor and librarian, these officers having
footed the bills for unlimited champaign
and whiskey. But It Ia not for his ac-
count Of the banquet that he Is to be
expelled. He had been warned before
that some way would he found OF get
ting rid Of him unless hs stopped his
criticism. Occasion has now been
found. All the other reporters are
Democrats--good fellows. no doubt, and
not disposed to bs hard upon their pc.
litical friends. York Tribune.
The above appeared in the New York
"vribune" OF. Friday last, and was re
published on Saturday by the Every
Evening" of this city, which denounced
it as absolutely false upon the evidence
Of its correspondent who is SO reckless in
his assertions that he would have bet
slO chad he had it) that Kent County
had a balance of CSC. 900 in her Treas
ury, when the Auditor s..report showed
that it had but 1906 90. The only
thing about the article quoted above not
strictly correct is that in which 1t says
that the reporter Of the REPUBLICAN was
to b. expelled from the floor OF the
House. 1t cannot be denied however
that expulsion was fsvorably considered
at first and AZ the Livery Evening
said 1t was afterwards dropped. This
same paper after pretending to denounce
the falsity Of the "Tribuue's' article
gives it's own version of the affair az
follows:
The facts are that Al a supper given
to the members Of the Legislature and
other invited guests, there was, as is
unhappily the case very frequently at
those banquets where liquor is fur
ni.hed, some intoxicatiOn. Que re-
porter, who 10 rather youthful, and
Who claims that he was not even at the
supper in question, wrote a grossly ex-
agg4rated account Of it TO little paper
Of very unsavory reputation in this
city. OF course those At the supper,
whether members OF the Legislature or
not, were indignant 1T such . report,
holding everybody present, including
one Of the ablsst and most decorous
mem bers of the State Judiciary and
number Of gentlemen WHO never would
dream Of ind ulging in liquor to excess,
responsible for the folly OF trw m-n
who have little or DO self-r1straint.
Il needs but few words Of ours in i'd.
dition TO the above, 10 show that the
report Of our correspondent WAS correct.
Here is an admission by 3 paper that
defends the carousal, that there ware
a few men present who had little or no
selfrestraint. We only differ with the
"B. T." in regard to the number that
had no self-restraint, by far the greater
number on that occasion, being OF that
class. We did not intend again to al
luds to the subject, and should not
have done 80 had il not been for this
attack Of the "B. e. but As to the
falsity or truth Of the REPuBLICAs's re-
port We are quite willing to let it rest
with the judgment Of the people.
Al allusion has been made to our re-
port which the IL. f." says reflected
upon one Of the ablest and most decor
: ous members OF the State Judiciary and
number Of gentlemen who would never
dream of indulging in liquor to excess,
it would have been but simple act Of
I Justice to all the members of the Stat.
! judiciary that the az. T." should have
! named the member OF the judiciary
alluded TO, and who sat beside Cover
nor Hall at the head of the banquetting
table. Our correspondent never said
that he was intoxicated, only that he
occu pied seat at the side of the Cover
nor and II a. the az. T." asserts that
the Judge would never dream OF indulg.
: ing in liquor to excess, there would
have been no improperly in mention
ing his name, the presence of the Judge
at the banquet should have been re.
ceived as positive proof that no such
scenes as described ever took place, and
u if that paper still persists in its refer,
.nce to the matter and stigmatizes our
' report az untrue, we shall insist in jus,
tjce to the other three members of the
v judiciary that it names the Judge pres
ept, as the best means OF showing tn al
u no excess in intoxicatiou was INDUCED

l.. advise it to say nothing more about that
