IT. IS AN UNMITIGATEO LIE.


willard saulsbuBy's Statement with Ref
erence to False and Malicious States
ment by a Republican Paper.
The editorial copied in the Morning
.Ycgs on Monday from the Milford Relos
and .4dcertiser, was shewn to willard
salisbury by a reporter of THE GAZETTE.
and he was asked ii he cared to say any
thing on the subject.
He said that 1t hardly seemed necessary to
take any notice of the statements made by
Republican political writer's at this time. as
it would simply involve constant and con-
tinual contradictions of their assertions,
but for the benefit of this particular
writer he would pronounce the statements,
SO far as he, Mr.. Salisbury, was concerned,
unmitigated lies, and the author mali
cious liar.
Mr.. Salisbury continued that the motive
| of the publication, as that Of all similar
communications, by Republican political
writers at this time, was manitestly to en-
deayor to make Democrats who happened
| TO ill important positions, dissatisfied
with their party and tLeir party friends,
and endeayor, by tlatteiy and cajoling OF
men whom they believed to be weak, to
get them TO abandon their party and ASSIST
| the Republicans. That they had especi-
ally selected for this purpose Speaker
Watson. as the letters of Senator Higgins
private secretary and amanucnsis in tho
| Sunday Star and Philadelphia Press
showed, but that he, Mr.. salisbury,
thought that they were entirely mistaken
in their man and that Senator Watson
would understand why he had becoms
such fine fellow in the eyes of the Re.
! publcans all of sudden and would the
last man to be fiattered out of his party
allegiance.
Mr.. Salisbury had noticed that ''Repub-
lican Glassesn and the Delaware letter in
the Philadelphia Sunday Press were written
by the same person, and called the atten-
tion OF the reporter to the eulogies pro-
nounced on Senator Watson, and added,
referring to the statement that he had
sent for Senator Pierce, that, in his 1udg-
ment, any Democrat who would assist the
Republicans in this State to reap the fruits
of their recent disgraceful victory here, or
in any way assist to elevate Republican
over Democrat. deserved to be bounded
from the State and to be read out of the
Democratic party as fair-weather Demo-
crat.
So far as Senator Pierce is concerned, he
does not know him by sight and has
never directly or indirectly had or sought
to have any communication with him, or
any other Republican Senator, concerning
the organization of the Senate, either be-
fore or since its recent organization.
