SAMUEL BANCROFT comes out in Erery
Evening in defence of the Democratic in
spectors in Kent county who have con-
fessed political theft.
This was expected.
Samuel Bancroft may be expected at
any time and at all times to defend those
who steal votes. suppress facts and brand
themselves as criminals.
Samuel Bancroft himself is always in
his element when suppressing facts,
burying truths and deceiving and rob-
bing the public.
His peace of mind was greatly dis
turbed when he learned that the in
spectors of Kent county had acknowl-
edged that they were criminally guilty of
suppressing the truth of the Kent county
election, thereby robbing the people Of
that which they had by vote chosen.
He Immediately sets up defense Of
their actions-a defense-that which
the inspectors themselves do not offer.
To defend the commission OF crime is
criminal, but what cares Samuel Bancroft
when he has fears that great truths and
facts are being brought to the notice OF
the people?
Samuel Bancroft and his Euery Ecening
may be depended upon at all times to
conceal the truth, hide the facts and de.
fend all those who do likewise.

to arrange the interior of the building
suitable to school purposes, but not to
replace any Of the part that has been
torn out, on vacating in 1900.
