"As for the TRANSCRIPT and its
IBillinggate methods of comment we
wash our hands of that, but as for the
editor personally, we could not find il
in our heart to wish so weak an often
der any i'll. "-Seaford Ne,os.
We decline any further controversy
with the Ne,os. The Neacs can have
the proof it asks upon our first and
only condition, though it does not
merit such consideration because OF its
ungentlemanly language. Every reader
of the TRANSCRIPT knows that "Bil-

columns. The Sehford Ne,os may en-
JOY a monopoly of it SO far as we are
concerned.
We give notice that when the pri-
vate letter is received We shall give it
and the answer publication, excepting
only the names of the private parties.
In the meantime let us have an ans
wer to the following inquiry made in our
issue of September 21st:
''Some months ago we asked the
NeaDs if it approved of the acts of the
Registrars in Kent county last fall in
striking off the names of the men who

not yet given an answer. By that act
the Republican ticket in Kent county
