yearsof his earlier manhood, paid us
the compliment last week to publish
upon it's editorial page our answer to
the contemplate charge Of the viii
mington Sun, namely that for vote
for Senator Higgins In the General AS
sembly Of 1889 the writer was rewarded
with an Office In Washington, q bargain
and sale having been made to that ef-
feet before the election. The editor OF
the Republican will accept our sincere
and earnest thanks for his appreciation
OF "what one would do were you In his
place." An audience with 80 many
Old friends, readers Of the Republican,
is just to our taste under the circum-
stances. Thanks.
And to the editor of the Delaware
Pilot, q gentleman so well known
throughout the State In professional,
social and political circles, we are under
obligation. We have had not q few
political discussions with the able editor
Of the Pilot whose Democracy is Of the
