SHINY sERPENTs SEEK SHADOWS

SHINY SERPENTS SEEK SHADOWS
For some time Wilmington's slimy
newspaper has INDUCED in lying about
one of Wilmington's FIRST citizens be-
cause he is a candidate for Office and
opposed by the editor of the serpent's
hiss. That paper is Addicks' ''Sun, =
and the respected citizen Hon. George
w. Bush, Republican candidate for
mayor. The charges were that the
poor man in Wilmington has TO pay
more for coal tl.an is paid in Philadel-
phia or Baltimore and MT. Bush being
in the coal business is responsible; that
Mr.. Bush owns coal gas stock, etc.
In our last issue we showed the con-
temptible politics Of the Union Repub-
licans in their efforts to defeat every
Republican candidate at the municipal
election to be held to-day and to elect
Democrats, aud especially the false
hoods against Mr.. Bush through the
ssSun."
On Monday the "Sun" commented
to the extent of column upon the
TRANSCRIPTS forcible putting Of the
case and to the Wilmington Republi-
can papers tauntingly said:
'It is singular that the first and only de-
fense offered by or for Mr.. Bush should
come from place so far from home"
On Monday afternoon Every Even
ing," a Democratic paper, took up the
false charges and did Mr.. Bush justice,
proving in fact that the cost of coal is
less in Wilmington than in Philadel-
phia or Baltimore. On Tuesday and
since the sMorning News" poured the
hot water of truth upon the Shiny SER
pents, showing Mr.. Bush owns no gas
stock; since they have sougdt the
shadows to hiss an occasional falsehood.
The respectable papers and the re-
spected citizens Of Wilmington should
pound the heads of the lying, slimy
serpents at every appearance, else they
grow bold and dangerous. They fear
flood light Of truth and sneak to the
shades when it is thrown upon them.
The "Sun" lies again saying, ''the
TRANSCRIPT speaks of Wilmington's
workingmen as Stupid and 'ignor-
ant"
Here is what the TRANSCRIPT said;
'There are always those SO stupid,
so ignorant, as to believe anything"
That was all the TRANSCRIPT said
about "stnpid" or Ignorance. No
reference in anyway was made to
"workingmen.
How can any honest Republican up
hold such a policy, built upon false
hoods SO glaring2 This is Addicksism
and we are sorry to say that the Union
Republicans have taken it to their
bosoms, the Shiny serpents of false
hood and bribery, foundation stones.
No man can successfully deny the truth
of our plain words.

eph ri. Hoffecker. took charge Of the
paper those eleven years while Mr..
Robert D. sought health as farmer
and manufacturer. AS an excellent
review in the anniversary number sug.
gests, the paper has always stood for
the best interests of Smyrna and CON-
munity. Long may it stand for the
same, and may the senior editor live
many years to see the junior editor, bis
son and nanesake, develop the busi-
ness when the entire responsibility
shall fall on him.

OUT OF THEIR OWN MOUTHS

lFrom State Sentinel, May 2Oth.)
In the beginning of the present Whining
ton city campaign. 'down country people
felt very little interest in what was viewed
us mere local struggle, for what to us ap-
peared of secondary importance, and most
Of US were disposed to pay little attention
to it. y We are now fast an.
preaching the end, To-day's primary elec.
tion held by the Union Republicans will
tell the story. The Demo.
crats have held their primaries and must
cred less than two thousand votes. The
Regulars held theirs on Wednesday last,
with record of less than twelve hundred
votes. Whatever the result
may be, we sincerely trust it will result in
an Enthusiastically counting of noses. If the
Regulars make good their claim to super
iority of numbers we will gracefully
acquiesce If on the other hand the Union
lists out.number them, then we shall claim
all the credit due US. We want the relative
strength of the two factions determined.
The primary election was held. The
Addicksites were disappointed. With
all their efforts they polled but one
half the vote polled by the Regulars.
Have they acquiesce as the 'Sentinel''
promised2 No. They hoped to be in
position to claim the rights of major
ityi but failing in that they are as
minority using every effort to defeat
the Republican candidates and TO elect
Democrats. Union Republicans have
no expectation of winning to-day.
Here is another proof of deliberate
falsshOod on the part of the chief party
mouth piece. Hear it:
(From State Sentinel. May 27th.)
The Morning News says: "The count has
been made;;" moses have been counted"
Not yet, we take it. If it were true, if the
primary elections settled the question, then
DIR. Fahey might as well be inducted into
Office. June Sd will make the count and
count the noses, and we are content to wait
till then. It is not safe to count chickens
before they are hatched and the period of
has not yet passed. We suggest
to the News, don't crow too soon. 1t may
be wise to wait for some of the Matching of
June Sd to do the growing.

by constantly failing TO cure with local

constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
