The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1896-11-17
TUESDAY. NOVEMBER II. 1896.



The Every Evening, which is considered
atruthful paper, published the following
which was clipped from the last issue of
the New Castle News and gives it unus-
ual prominence in its editorial columns:
state Senator Robert j. Handy, the
Addicks leader of Brandywine hundred,
sent letter to Sheriff Finn this week,
notifying him If he did not recall all his
appointments as deputies and wardens
and allow him to name them, that he
would have bill passed at this coming
session of the Legislature taking the
feeding of the prisoners out Of the sherifts
hands.
Sheriff Finn answered the letter by
telling Handy that he cared not for threats
and that he would use his own pleasure
about whom he appointed as deputies and
wardens"
The Every Evening, in commenting on
the articles said:
Assuming this to be true, in the alb.
sence of any information from State SEN
ator Handy to the contrary, it stands as
most astounding and impudent attempt
at official coercion"
Senator Robert Handy was seen by u
representative Of the REPUBLICAN yester-
day on Market street, and asked concern
ing the above report.
The Senator said You can say for me,
that the article is lie. | have never
written line to Sheriff Finn before or
since the election, or even conversed with
him upon the subject of whom he should
or should not appoint under him. AS far
us prison reform goes, am Of the same
opinion now as / was two years ago, when
voted tor the Pententiary bill"
Sheriff VIM. r. Finn was also seen
and be denied ever having received letter
or in any way been approached by Senator
Handy as to whom he should appoint uu-
der him while holding the Office Of sheriff.
Now this is another one Of those cam
paign lies which has no foundation, and
the Every Evening knew it when it re-
published it from the columns of the New
Castle News. This is one of many lies
which that paper has published about the
Republicans during the late campaign.
1t is in keeping with the editor Of that
paper. History is bound to repeat itself.

THE Republican party Of Delaware is
again in turmoil and our 50 called con
stitutional leaders are already rushing
into print, raking up old sores. 1t is
charged money is used to corrupt voters in
Delaware Horrible! This thing has
been done ever since the Democratic party
have controlled tho State. The best way
to defeat any one man, is for the whole
Republican party to unite and down all
the old leaders. Get new men to the front
then stop fighting until the Republican
party gets something to fight about. The
scramble for Office in our State under Pros
ident Mckinley is something disgra !Cful
and shows how hungry some men are to
hold public positions and suck the public
teat. The REPUBLICAN wishes to see Della
ware carried by the Republican party, but
,uch a thing is not possible when crimi.

sung by the Republicans, D,ctators in
