NEWSPAPER OPINION.
Unnecessary Proof.
Dover Delawarean.

Dover Delawarean.
The Every Evening OF last Monday
contained an article copied from the Phil
sdelphia Record about Delaware politics
We do not know anything about the
authorship Of the letter, but this we do
know, that the fellow who penned it was
about as ignorant Of Delaware politics as
the editor Of the Every Evening.
The following paragraph is fair sam
pie Of the nonsensical jargon:
"His Judge Fishers) appointment to
so responsible a position is a mystery
and is only to be explained by the suppoi
sition that he had a deal with old Eli
Salisbury in the Kent county fight of
last fall, and contributed toward the de-
feat Of the regular Democratic candidates
at that time. Higgins feels grateful and
has rewarded him with big fat Office"
A stranger reading the above para
graph could come to no other conclusion
than that Jndge Fisher vas Democrat
who had helped to elect a Republican
ticket He could not think otherwise: /:
while the fact is, he has been a lifelong
political enemy Of the Democratic party
and its principle We cannot imagine
Why any Delaware editor should publish
such stuff, unless it was to prove to the
people how big fool the Lord Almighty
made him.

has enlisted in its support the best uni

vestigators of the country. as well as a
great army Of practical farmers. 20 whom
II has already brought substantial benc-
Cts.
All the States and one Territory (Da-
