Milford chronicle., 1895-01-04

a Of 1855. After an expression OF
$ public opinion in this way they pur-
pose having succeeding Legislatures
pass laws in accordance with the re.
suit of the special election.
e In last weeks issue the Ne,os and
D advertiser exhibited some of the
= same symptoms manifested in its
l. columns just before Senator Hig-
r gins got its editor fat berth in the
Navy Department at Washington.
At that time she NetCs intimated
that the Senator was but little short
of modern Ananias and his friends
beneath respect of honorable people
but the office soothed the ranking
sore, and true to inclinatiOns and a
warped nature its last weeks editor
ial utterance condemns innocent men
for imaginary crimes. All men
who do not look through the same
smoked glass with it, are knaves and
corruptiOnists. No allowance is
made for honest difference of opin-
ion, and it is so stepped with venom
that it can see nothing good in any
thing excepting itself on the face of
Gods earth.
Here is sample from the News
and Adrertiser of last week:
"If Mr. Addicks' money should
prove sufficient to buy him a seat in
the Senate the men so bought would
not be able to comprehend the mean
ing Of the word reform. A majority
for Mr. Addicks would mean az once
a majority for the reverse of reform
corruption. 1t would mean that
the men who would sell a Senator
ship would also sell legislation
that they were devoid of the moral
ity necessary to effect reform"
The men who represent Kent and Il
Sussex in the General Assembly are 7
honorable and upright gentlemen
so we have every reason to believe
md the people of Kent and Sussex +,
counties would sooner suspect the G.
,ditor of the Nelgs and advertiser a
If selling his influence, and that of
lis paper, than suspect that any ofI i
hese men would sell the Senatorship fl,
r. legislation. n,
In what manner or form is Sena- bl
or Higgins and his friends more aN
irtuous than J. Edward Addicks !"
