SENSATIONAL AND FALSE RE.
PORTING,

Since the exc tement over the arrests
of alleged illegal voters at the recent city
election, two Of the afternoon papers OF
this city have been writing up reports
of such sensational character, that the
writer's thereof would be credit to the
corps of such writers, that write up b 'ood
curdling dime novels.
As an instance of sensational report
ing, it is only necessary to take the re-
ports of the EUery Euening and Repub-
iican of Tuesday over the arrest of James
Darragh by county coDstables Hickman
and Brooks. The Every Eueniag says
"Darragh was lying on his back on
the pavement and the constables were
trying to get him up. Just then he put
out one of his knees and Constable
Brooks went on his hack into the gutter
with Darragh on top of him. AT this
juncture man who, with his wife, Was
driving by in wagon, sprang out and
grabbed Darragh by the coat to pull
him Off"
The report OF the Republican stated
that when the officers went to make the
arrest, Darragh sent each of them
''sprawling" into the gutter, and if it had
not been for the interference of outsiders
Darragh would no doubt have escaped at
the time.
When the trial of Darragh took place
before the Magistrate, the officers were
asked if they had any complaint 10 make
against the prisoner for resisting them,
and both of the officers informed the
Justice that they had no such complaint.
In conversation with the officers, they
informed reporter of this paper that
the reports in the above mentioned pa
pers were false, that Darrah did not IT.
sist, but when they approached him, he
merely cursed them, but did not show
any resistance whatever, and that by
stander merely interposed and asked
DarIah to go along with the Others pea
ceably which he did. Had Darrah
shown any resistance to be arrested out
side of ds, the officers had the cour-
age to take him no matter what the
consequences might have been.
1t seems strange that some papers can
not adhere to the truth no matter what
their party politlcs may be. The ma
jority of persons who read newspapers
do not care to con over three or four
columns of balderdash. 1t Is to he hoped
that the papers referred to will adhere
more strictly to the truth, hereafter in
making up their reports.

members were present Letters from

ance people proved entirely efEectual,
the example is not one to be generally

saloon keepers by praying bands was
much slfer, and had the redeeming
melit of being inside the limits pr rescrib-

THE ELECTION CASES IN COURT

HOW THE REPUBLICANS EXPECT TO
HAVE THE ALLEGED ELECTION CASES
TRIED BEFORE ARRESTS ARE MADE.
All day yesterday about half a hum
fred Republicans, nearly all OF them
officeho lders and wOuld-be- cfficeho olders
thronged the court room at New Castle
in feverish expectation OF being called
at once before the Grand Jury to testify
against the alleged Democratic repeaters
at the late city election. The cases
came before the Attorney Generals at
tention Tuesday and Tuesday evening
the witnesses were summoned.
The principal part of this body of wit
nesses IL composed Of men of political
Drocivities such a. those of B. T. Bye,
Thomas Saville. Frank A. Taylor,
"Uncle" W. d. Stewart, d. L. Stew art
and j. Horace Rudolph. Mr.. Bye ia the
leader. The Attorney General told a
representative of this paper in the court
room at New Castle last evening that he
thought that all the witnesses would go
before the Grand Jury to-day. They
will go over with that expectation and
in all probability will 90 before that
body and testify to their imaginary grie-
vances to their hearts content; as the
jury has all other business of its hand.
During the conversation with the At
torney General, the reporter asked:
"And will the cases come up for trial
ihen." "That il not CERTAIN" was the
reply. "All misdemeanOr cases can be
continued to the second term ii applca.
tion is made" Whether these cases will
20 over till next term remains yet to be
seen.
The ignorance of the nature of the
way the cases will come up in court, as
shown by the general conversation of
some of the prosecuting Republicans, is
really laughable. One of them, who
might be supposed to know better. said
with refreshing simplicity yesterday
