THE MEN WHO WERE BACI..
OF the Kent County Demo
+, cratic Inspectors are =.
the Ones
WHO SHOULD Be PUNISHED.

Tho claim Is mate that the Democrat
County Executive Committee of Ken
county sanctioned and In fact engineeret
tho steal OF years ago by tho Democratic
Inspectors, Instead of Furnishing the In
spectors, the mon who instigaLed the stsa
OF 1895, arc tho ones who should DO punish
90 for the Infamous part they took in til.
transaction.
| Tho court should sec even ct this late
day that they are punished and not theil
Door duDes who have not benefited ON
| iota and for that reason they should no:
! be tho mon to suffer 1t Is the mastery
mind that should deserve tho punishmen,
and not their poor dupes. But then thei!
! Illegal actionis no excuse, for they were
old enough to know. vol WHAT they were
doing. Tho crime they committed Ia even
of Shoes and then soils them TO purchase
liquor with. They woro mon with more
than the average intelligence and had
then and have now no excuse for thwart-
Ing the will of The people at the ballot
box, tho most sacred right hold by IN
American citizon or enc by adoption.
A report has been circulated that the in
spocto|s who hayo t4qs been betrayed

and during last week reports were ID Or

The costs wi have to be pail and some.
body will have to raise tho necessary

strange things that happen sometimes in
q newspaper office tho name of Samuel NJ.
Knox appeared In Mondays Issue of the
REPUBLICAN, rs Thomas NJ Knox
The Every Evening in yesterdays issue
takes the time and trouble to explicate on
tho error In the REPUBLICAN,, as II 1t had
boen done intentionally. Itdoes not mat
tor what this or that man says about the
error, for that Is what 1t WAS and nothing
else Mr.. Samuel NJ. Knox will be elected
S ate Senator from tho Frat District on
November 8th. The strength of tho Sim
gle Takers In New Castle county Ia placed
at 600. 1t remains to be seen how many
votes they exceed this figure at tho coming
election. The greater part of their vote
will be drawn from the ranks of Tho Demo.
cratic party and 1t Is this that is troubling
Patrick Neary and the other leaders in
this city.
The total registration shows that the
Republicans are In better shape in New
Castle county thnn the Democrats and all
the bluff and bluster in tho Democratic
party Is like tho dying gasp of man who
knows his time has come, but refuses to
acknowledge it. Tho Democrats in Now
Castle county are doomed Ibis year. The
hand writing on the wall ia plainly seen.
The Kent county Democrats are laying
plans that Is the free silver element, to
have Congressman Handy elected to the
Senate in case tho Democrats have ma
jority in the Legislature. 1t Is their last
dying hone. Thoy forasee the election OF
John H. Hoffecker and turn to Handy as
their oeEdidate to succeed George Gray as
U. S. Senator.
At last day is dawning and tho Republic
cans Of Delaware have one of tho best Op.
portnnitles offered for years in capturing
the Legislature and thereby alccting the
next U. S Senator to succeed Senator Geo.
Grav.
Tho fight will bo q big one, but with Rs.
nubloan success already assured every
Republican who has taken the trouble to
got registered. will, without doubt, vote
The STRAIGHT Republican ticket on the Sth
LAY Of November.
