Mr.. Cochrsn--iIe, Mr.. Dean, has tol
us how honest he is, and told us no,
hundreds Of people of New Castl
county, ask for this investigation
Born there, living there all my life,
is strange, passing strange that neve
yet have heard one single man, woma
or child breathe one word against thos
holding those positions. This sectiona
Legislation, in case of its passage, viii
perhaps incur an expense Of thousand
of dollars. Mr.. Cochran closed with
reference to Mr.. Dean, and regarding
the honesty of the county officials.
Mr.. Houston didn't mean to say any
thing in regard to these resolutions
Being something that related solely t.
New Castle county, he would merely
say that his vote would b. based upol
the same reasons as expressed upoI
the occasion Of similar resolution ,
short time ago, and those were that tn,
law provided against extortion. II,
was not in favor Of anything that woulG
incur expense.
Mr.. Dean informed the gentleman
that there was no desire to put tn.
State to any expense. That If the off
GERS were as honest as was made out
and he had no cause to doubt them
otherwise, he didn't see how it was
going to be expensive. There can't b.
to investigate. All the peo
pie want is a sworn statement as tc
the amount Of fees they get, which can
be given in very few minutes.
Mr.. Hall thought that in view of the
petitions that We're being circulated not
being presented he thought the. resolu
