There is probably no more clever or
courteous man in the State of Della.
ware than the Hon. Charles u. Lore,
or more conscientious man, when he
appears in his own proper role as an
attorney, but when he lays that aside,
and assumes for the time being the
character of horny handed, mis-
guided tiller Of the soil, he then seems
TO lose sight of some things, which
under other circumstances he would
no doubt remember. In the fret place
the majority OF the people are aware
that lawyers do not waste their vRlu.
able time by drawing up bills, aud
then going before the Legislature to
urge their passage without being recon-
pensed, but as Mr., Lore expressly
stated that he did not appear as a paid
attorney, in advocating the passage of
the anti.Chicago beet bill, we will not
contradict him on that point. awe do
know however that another attorney
of this city was requested to draw the
bill, whish has been presented by Mr..
Whiteman, and assume the character
OF "a horny handed tiler of the soil'
tor zone appearance only" but as the
fee was not sufficient he respectfully
declined.
That, however, is a matter with
which we have nothing TO do, but we
do most seriously object, on the part
of the press of this city, to Mr.. Lore or
any one else endeavoriug TO convey
the impression 10 the members OF the
Legislature that single paper in VIII
mington has received or been offered
as much as the price OF q segar for The
stand they have taken in this matter
The columns of the REPUBLICAN, tn,
same as the other city papers, hay,
always been open for full and FREE
discussion on the subject, and we hay,
endeayored to act with the utmos

there arc many of that class who con

the West are to be shut out of Della

that will increase their cost, 1t is NOR
than probable that the fruit, cannet
goods and other products OF Delawar
will only be admitted into som
OF the other States under condition
that it win be impossible to compl
with.
These facts have no doubt occurre
TO Mr.. Lore as an attorney, but as

reason that they get better meat al
lower price than they have ever o

else, should distinctly understand Ii
the people OF Wilmington are full
competent to judge what they sht
