Bayard, who owns prostituted organ
Of his own in this city, conducted by al
automaton editor. who only dares t.
speak what his master dictates.
We have already published in chic
the article from the "Times" to which
exception is taken, together with Mr..
Smalley's first letter to the "Tribune''
and to-day We publish that gsntlema n IS
last to the "Tribune." Our readers
have already read these published, and
to-day they will have an opportunity OF
reading the letter published in yester-
days "Tribune," and it will be for
them 10 Judge of the truthfulnsss OF
untruthfulness of what these CORES
pondents have said. 1t would be treat
ing the editor Of Bayard's villifer with
too muck respect to say that he is SIM
ply in error, and that he knowingly
and wilfully misrepresents what he
knows to be the truth. 1t would be
attaching too much Importance to the
idiotic rawlings of partially insane
editor, to say that they were inspired
by malevolepce and arrogance, which
have no parallel in journalism. 1t would
be showing too much respect to a pub
licly confessed prostituted paper that
openly assaiis truth and decency in
the interests Of its master whose collar
it wears to enter into a reasonable ar
gument with it, and we shall not at
tempt to do so. We will however call
upon our readers who have read Mr..
Sma lley's articles in the New York
"Tribune" to say whether they are
false or true. Bayard's prostitute says
these correspondents are liars. The peo-
pie arc the judges of that. The cor
respondent of the "Tribune" has made
no exposure that the REPUBLICAN has
not already made, and We too have been
denounced as liars by this same organ.
We nevertheless kept on asserting what
we knew was true despite the rawlings
of the gaidsd jade that WINGED beneath
thelas that we applied. These commu-
nica.ions to the "Times" and Tribune
are truthful portrayals Of the political
situation il Delaware and the manner
set forth as to how Republicans are dis
franchised ia true to life. There is no
imagination about it. II it were not
true, what meant this effort Of four
thousand disfranchised citizens to have
their names once more placed upon the
assessment that they might again be
clothed in the full garb of American
citizenship How came all those men to
be disfranchiaed? It will be said because
they dill ..ot pay their taxes ACCORDING
to law, and yet the law is purposely
framed TO secure the collector if he fails
to collect the taxes. These voters werg
pdrposeIy di6franchised by the methods
set forth in Mr.. Smalley's correspond.
ence to the Tribune" and we'll does
the Bayard organ know it, and it would
be in vain TO look for the least blnsh Of
shame upon tie countenanGe of the one
who calls him a liar. The present term
of the Lazy Court has Just brought to
the light the iniquitons system by
which tie Republicans of Delaware
have cen disfranchised. Decent and
conscientious people without regard to
political preclivities stand aghast at the
ingenuity of the fraud that in 1873 re-
duced The O.e Of Delaware fro Is, 900
down to $4,000, and they plainly see
now tn by this niquitous yst ,u the
Democracy hav, tcle4 ta,. and
have H.. Mr.. Bayard in the Senate as
the 1euits Of that theft. An attempt
to recover that stolen p-o.erty has
thrown the Bayard organ whi,h is &C.
cessory to the theft into aroxysm of
uncomfortable anger and g let and hence
it calls everybody liars that attempts
to speak tn truth.
