seven Thousand dollars into Sussex, an
the Addicksites send seventy. seve
thousand, how much more corrupt ar
the Union Republicans than the Regu
lars?' 1t answers its own question b
saying, "Not a whit" Principle alon
considered, we agree that our contem
porary is right; but when we conside
the relative effectiveness OF the two sum
named we are constrained to conten'
that the Addicksites are sixty-thre
thousand dollars ahead of the Higgins
ties in the work OF corruption. Will
venal voters a dollar is dollar, no mat
ter from whence it comes, anC. the part,
which expends the larger amount mus
of necessity be guilty of the create
share of corruption. In this connection
we might state that the Higginsite'
became what they were by the use 0
money. Bnt for the application of sew
eraI thousand dollars for purposes O
corruption in Sussex county Anthon,
Higgins would never have become
United States Senator. The very power
which raised him up pulled him down
and made him what he is to.day-a po.
Utica nonentity. He and his friends
played with fire until it got beyond Their
control. -Ereling Journal.
The statement in The Republican last
Friday that John T. Ahpns, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Representative IN
the Second district. was among the per-
sons who were before the Grand Jury in
1895, charged with the crime OF altering
the election returns, was unwarranted.
The implication of another gentleman
bearing similar surname, led to the
error. We have no desire to misrepre
sent Mr.. John I. Ahrens or anv other
man and hence make this correction.
Mr.. John T. Ahrens, not having been an
inspector, could not have been a party to
the contemplated fraud and cannot be in
any way responsible for it. Therefore
he will not lose a single vote in conse-
quence of the blunder or suffer in any
way in the estimation of his fellow cti-
zens. Daily Republican.
