The daily gazette., 1880-02-25
Interesting to Voters.
Editor of the Gasstte:


we are to have q new Republican pa-
per in this city to be edited and con-
Quoted by two gentlemen who will
have some respect for what they give
to the public. Although it will be
against the democratic party and its
principles, tits r sumed all discussion
will be treated in very different tone
from the sheet printed at Third and
King streets. No doubt the candid
and fair minded men of the Republi-
can party will support the new paper,
leaving the poor dirty ward managers
and negroes to support the lying un-
assessed hypocrite at Third and King
to continue in the mire of falsehood
and misrepresentation. His editorials
of to-day are amongst the worst yet
concocted by his small brain. A short
time ago he stated there were forty
thousand Republicans in New Castle
county disfranchised. He says to-day
that there are but about two thousand
yet to be assessed in this county, and
they are all anxious to put on. The
people know this to be barefaced lie,
and he knows it himself but has not
the manhood to tell the truth. He has
no regard for honesty and fair dealing
and those who may read his disgusting
efforts at answering fair statement
of facts published in the GAZETTE in
relation to the assessment will no
doubt pity his poor demented small
brain. Does he not know that when
all the negroes voted regardless Of any
qualification whatever, and many of
them two or three times, his thIeving
fraudulent negro worshipping party
party was in the minority in this coun-
ty some five hundred votes Turn to
your files you miserable traitor and
learn the truth. When James Arm
strong was elected Sheriff of this coun-
ty you will find he had 512 majori-
ty over you as a united republican
party, negroes and all. For the truth
go to the records of the Levy Court
and you will there find that your anx-
ious negroes we're returned as errors
and would not pay their taxes. Do
you not know your disloyal mongrel
party forged the seal used by the tax
collectors, and that part ofyour once
united party boasted Of having about
two thousand tax receipts locked
up in his safe at the Water De-
partment, and with the aid of U. s.
Marshals. combined, d. you not
know you were defeated in this Coun-
ty and State yes, you know it, and
you know you will be defeated again.
You know what you publish in your
miserable apology, for newspaper is
false from beginning to end. Turn to
your files and publish the result of the
elections in this County for at least Is
years, and you will find you were in
the minority. You will never be any
be ter off until you have some respect
for truth, and until you represent
! something more than fraud and re-
warding your thieves with fat positions
to the disgust of the candid and intel
ligent part of your party. You may
ory Rebel dislOyalty and Rebel Briga-
diers, but it will not do, you have had
your day and die hard because the
cause you spouse is tainted with frand
and infamy. You undertake to de-
fraud the good name of Senator Bay
ard, when you know the best men in
your party in this city did honor to
him and are proud that Delaware has
| such a true statesman and gentleman;
when your thieving party were overrun-
Ming the Southern States and melting
the negroes to riot, Senator Bayard told
your party in the United States SEN
ate to call off their dogs, and disband
the army and all would be happy and
prosperous. Did your useless horse
Jockey, called President, give heed
to the truth No, he had his mind en-
gagged pardoning whiskey thieves and
accepting presents, such as pups and
segars, and all else offered him. Com
pare the condition of the Southern
States then with their condition now.
You are jealous of their prosperity and
do not hesitate to let the people know
that you are sectional man, and a
disunionist Such stuff as you pub
lish to-day caused the voters in this
County to kick you out of office
throughout the whole State. You
should be ashamed to ask the voters oi
this County to put the least depend
ence in what you publish, after read
ing your trash of to-day. / think in
order that you may keep it up, you
should have another Eliza PinkstoI
story to stimulate your brain with
The best thing for you to do is to write
the history of your defunct party il
Delaware, and then go out and hans
yourself. The community will theI
improve in morals.
