In accordance with a conclusion
reached some two months since the
MIDDLETowN TRANSCRIPT, good will
mailing lists, sc. included, is offered
for sale. The reason is the protracted
i'll health of the editor and proprietor.
Formore than two years be has been q
victim of liver trouble and though
perhaps in general health is as well
now as at any time of this period yet
a change of climate is advised as neces-
sary. For this reason the paper is
offered for sale though with much
reluctance many pleasant ties will be
thus severed. Such is life. Brother
editors will confer a favor by noting
the fact that the paper is for sale. No

DEMOCRATIC BRIBERY LAID BARE
On Monday last the Superior Cou rt
directed the members of the last board
Of canvass in Kent county to meet on
October II, and canvass and tabulate
the vote cast in the last election. The
court will receive the return on Octo-
Der II. The Republicans of all parts
Of the state are pleased with this rulin
of tie court, while the Democrats are
worried in consequence. They did not
think the vote would ever be counted.
While the canvass will not result in
any advantage to the men who were
elected to office, but failed to receive
the Offices to which they were elected,
it will be the greatest argument for a
change in the government of the state
which has yet been made. The can
vass will show that in the last election
ten members of the Constitutional
Convention were elected by the Re
publicans in Kent county cf whom but
five were seated; that seven representa-
tives and one state senator were elect
ed by the same party, none of whom
were ever seated, that al members
of the Levy Court were elected by the
Republicans none of whom we're ever
seated and that the Republicans who
were elected sheriff and coroner respec-
lively did not receive their offices. II
will also show, unless the Republica is
have been greatly mistaken in their
case, that =. r. Meredith, the holding
over senator from Kent county vas not
elected, but that the place belongs IS J.
Frauk Alice of Dover. There could be
no better argumen. found against the
present Democratic government of this
state than the official count of the Kent
county board of canvass as required BY
the Superior Court.-E==.

Senator Quay who is candidate for
return to the U. S. Senate was charged
gravely this week with others. The
startling suspension of the Peoples
Bank last March, following immediate
ly upon the suicide of its cashier, John

sequel. Warrents we're issued for the
arrest of the United States Senator
Mathew Stanley Quay, his son Richard
R. Quay, ex-State Treasurer Benjamin
]. Hayward and Charles III. Mckee,
law partner of Lieutenant Governor
Lyon, upon the charge of conspiring
with Hopkins to unlaWfully use the
funds of the bank including the State
money on deposit there, for their own
use. Upon learning of the charges
Senator Quay and his son came up
from Atlantic City and, accompanied
by their counsel, A. S. L. Shields, vol
UNI rilV appeared before a magistrate
and each was held under $500 bail for
appearance at a hearing. At this
hearing they were held for court.

has been no green sprout of graft
tude to God any more than on the
sands of the sea. If God took
away His share out of our success
es what would we have left?
Fellow men, let US put God in

do 1 speak to any OF Gods poor

it bites you to the very marrow
thank God for your coldness and
your emptiness. thank God for
your poverty, if it has saved you
from a blank unbelief. if it has
taken the dcvouring flame Of COW
eteousness out of your bones. I
say, thank God for that.
Has it not been SO, that the sa-
cred days that ought to have been
observed as the Lords in our
midst, have been marked only by
the boastful output of the canta-
loupe business, the whirl and the
traffic on our streets, in strange
contrast to the calls of the church
bells and the invitations of the
pastors to the almost deserted
pews. What a strange heritage
we have left to the on-comlng
generation within our homes-no
heart swelling gratitude, no praise
to the Giver, no Sabbath, no Bible.

damning atheism and today We
are reaping the whirlwind, in the
confusion, and the present compli-
cations of our association, that
owing to which many of our men,
bers are in the bitterness of spirit.

In conclusion, let us down on
our knees before God, before it is
too late, and with sorrow in our
hearts, acknowledge our sins as
individuals, and as an association,
