For two days the friends of Rev. II e.
Terry, pastor of St Pauls M. f. church,
have been surprised 10 hear rumors float
ing around town to the effect that he
asserted ia a sermon preached in his
church on Sunday that the Democratic
ticket of New Castle county, which has
Just been elected. was made out i'm a
saloon, near St. Pauls chhrch. and that
Christian men had elected for representa-
tive In the general assembly Democrat
who had been turned down three times
by the license court Of this county.
AS the sermon was not reported at
the time an EVENING JOURNAL reporter
called on Mr.. Terry at his pastoral resi-
dence and asked him what he did say,
