are true. Read the following troI
the EUery EUening:
"a lie oft repeated and well stuc
to may in course Of time come to b
regarded as the truth. Such a Ii
is the statement that the chairma
of the Democra' ic State Centra
Committee has said that his con
mittee had sixty thousand dollars t
spend for political purposes during
the last Campaign.
The first place that we came acros
this lie was in the "Republical
Glasses" published in the Sunda,
Star-a column in which a grea
many false statements seem to orig
mate. 1t has since cropped out il
several Republican papers in thu
State; and here we have it to
day in the Milford CHRONICLE.
The CHRONICLE not OILY repeats
the falsehood, but uses the fact thai
the chairman referred to is also ed
itOr Of EUery Evening TO impugr
the sincerity of this journal in its
strenuous and persistent advocacy
of purity at elections. Among
other things the CHRONICLE says:
1t is nauseating to read the above
-nauseating to those who are at all
acquainted with the political life,
since he came into this State, of the
editor of the Every Evening. A
man who at the last election, as
chairman of the Democratic State
Committee, deprecated the fact that
he had but sixty thousand dollars
with which to debauch the voters,
now crying out for a change of the
law ! If the Observation-Disclosures
mittee- Chairman-editor.ofthe EUery
EUening, had succeeded in making
his sixty thousand dollars do de-
bauching enough to have won at the
last election, do you think he would
now be pleading and crying for a
change in the law? Not much
1t is not generally judicious to re-
veal committee secrets, and not
always worth while to run political
lies to cover, but this particular one
justifies full exhibit of the finan-
cial affairs of the Democratic State
Central Committee IN the last CAM
paign. Instead of having and spend
ing for debauchery 100000, that
committee never had one single
cent. Neither the committee nor
my person acting for the committee
ever had so much as penny to
jpend for political purposes. Even
he expenses of the officers and |
of the committee for neces-
'ary travelling, postage, stationery, |
,tc., we're paid personally by the
out of their individual |
pockets.
We trust that the editors of the
State papers will take note of this
ontradiction-which is intended to
,e full, positive and unequivOcal-
o that they may know in the future
hat any talk about corruption
through the Democratic State Cen
raj Committee has not even a
hadow oftruth in it.-Every Even-
ag.
What is the intent ofthisarticle? It
J to deny that the Democratic party
sed any corruption funds at the
lst election. 1t is intended to Gre
tie the impression that only the Re-
ublicans are guilty of bribery. Is ,
lis the case? 1t is not. In twenty
ears past the Democrats of the
tate have spent three dollars for :
very dollar spent by the Republi- I
ans in corruption. 1t is a crime,
ut it is one fostered by Democrats. +
