is said the men are willing to make aft
unIlt TO the correctness of their charge, but

.John w. Cansey is not man to boast of
his deeds of charity but there are store
Keepers in Milford, some of them Repub-
lcans, too. who will tell how often he has
quietly and unostentatiously ordered them
to supply the necessaries of life to poor
men who had been i'll his employ, and
who, but for his generosity would
have felt the pangs of hunger and the keen
pressure of want. AS for men employed
by him there are plenty to speak not only
OF his uniform kindness, but of many in
stances Of money advanced in cases of
distress and. of wages paid in full when
stormy weather curtailed the time of labor.
His record and reputation are known to
the people of Milford, and any man can
learn of these in this town.
THE REYNOLDS ISLANDERS.
The chief charge against Robert j.
Reynolds, that of working the Milford
hotel bar-rooms in q canvass for votes was
promptly knocked out of breath by the
publication in Mondays EVERY EVENING
OF an emphatic denial from the hotel men
themselves. That Republican worthy of
-ffnHilhptI Nllb dSSeftttl tflHl ne
met Mr.. Reynolds one morning "beastly
drunk after u nights debauch, was
quickly compelled to haul in his horns
ana the excuse was given for him by the
correspondent Of Republican paper that
he simply said "Air. Reynolds looked rs
I he had been out all night" Well, may
be he did, for Robert j Reynolds is work
ing. hard and honestly for victory, night
and day.
SIGNS OF A FAILING CAUSE,
The slanderous phase of their campaign
tactics give evidence that the Republicans
realize that their cause in Sussex county is
now about hopeless. There are plenty of
visible evidence of this state of affairs TO
the casual observer. The aggressive conf
dence. of the Democrats is everywhere
manifest and their public meetings are
uniformly large, orderly and enthusiastic
The Republican meeting at Georgetown
yesterday, was of such character that
the managers We're sorry it was held. AS
a Democrat remarked, it was making
Democratic votes every hour. The attend |
ance did not number more than 600, nearly |
half OF whom We're colored men, who took |
advantage of the occasion to make them
familiar. Instead of using the stage
in the centre of the square, erected
jointly by both parties, one was
erected close to hotel, so that the Repub- |
lican attendants could be handy to the /
bar-room. Many of them appreciated the
Charles II. Treat, who told |
tra;n TEE 10 correspondent corr .! On the
only going down for "a hand-shalie
around was the first speaker Levi C.
Bird, Esq, became disguised and stopped /
in the midst of his tariff argument. II
was hard enough to speak in the cool air
but when to this was added the utter in
difference of the audience who moved
around and INDUCED in loud and bolster
Gus conversation, it was more than he
could stand, A drunken white man,
linked arms with two drunken negroes,
naraded around the square, making unc-
ious boasts of what was going to be done
for the BLACK Republican ticket" 1t was
4 fearful and wonderful meeting
In Georgetown hundred an attempt was
made BY certain Republicans TO induce
Major Hutson, the Democratic inspector
1f next Tuesday, election, to work in their
interest," by promising him lucrative
Federal position. Their desperation was
urther shown by the illegal action of the
evy court in declaring the Democratic in
pector of Broadkiln hundred Ineligible
tead of permitting the voters to choose an
Inspector on the morning of election, as
'equired by law. Another lawess act was
he refusal of the sheriff to give the ballot
boxes to the inspector of Broadkiln hun
lred until the determined attitude of the
Democrats compelled him to perform his
,lain duty
There is all the difference in the world
between the campaign in Sussex this year
md that of two years ago. Then the Demo-
rats were disgruntled, indifferent and dis
atisted; now they are united, active and
ggressive. They are going to win, and by
large majority.
