THEY BRIBE VOTERS; YET
PROTEST AGAINST BRIBERY
georgetown Union Republican.

Fvom the Georgetown Union Republican.
What spectacle is presented by those
who claim to be the salt of Republican
ism in our State!
They bribe voters, pay registration
fees, and sneer at others who do the
same! Thew raise their loud sanctimon-
ious voices in hypocritical protest against
bribery, and openly and fagrantly use
not only money, but every Federal office
in Delaware to buy and bribe supporters
for themselves 1t will buv preacher
with office and sneer at Union Repub-
lican for giving ten dollar bill to some
poor devil that works for so cents a day!
1t will brand John Edward Addicks as
g corruptioList, and ask in the same
breath, without any seeming conscious
ness of its despicable incongruity and
utter inconsistency, that the National
Committee give them $50, 900 for cam
paign fund to buy votes with They
will solicit the Congressional Campaign
Committee for money, cash the check
through Regular Saint OF Wilmington,
use fifty per cent. themselves,
break the provisions OF the Anti
Addicks Constitution, and demand
that DR.. Moore be prosecuted as
a law breaker and briDer! 1t will
deplore the degeneracy of the State, the
fallen condition Of its people with long
and apparently sincere diatribas against
their fellows for lawlessness and lack of
civic virtue, and turn around the next
moment, and steal elections throug b
voters assistants, and when this tails
help Democrats to steal a whole county
after the votes are cast Il cries aloud
for civic reform and aids in the theft oi
Constitutional Convention to brir g
those reforms about. 1t charges Union
Republicans with disloyalty and unwil :
ing to abide by majority rule in the elee-
tion in the city of Wilmington, and
maintains boiling, treacherous, trai-
torous purely cooperative political Oh
ganization in Kent county OF not more
than $50 votes to defeat the majority. Its
leaders formed the whole priesthood Of
bribe givers in the Temple OF Politica
corruption until it lost power and in
fluence, and Immediately began tc
preach purity without ever practicng it
1t processes to have no confidence in the
promises Of Union Republicans because
OF the failure to elect Senator at the
last session of the Legislature, although
they conspired with the Democrats there
in to organize the House OF Representa-
tives against the Union Republican ma
jOrity. 1t declares that the methods o
the Union Republican party are too
corrupt to allow it to control the policies
OF the State and elect its choice of can
didates, but comes in when the victory
is won, and demands all the fruits q
those methods. They object not, bu
contribute to a corruption fund to elect
President OF the United States, and pro
claim Mark Hanna to be great man
but such fund in Delaware, unless i
shall result in their especial benefit is al
together wrong To those who know
the whole hypocritical pecksnitiian out
tit is enough to cause men to suspect th
human race.

TRAIN CHANGES.
People Becoming Acquainted With
New Order of Things on Railroads.

People Becoming Acquainted With
New Order of Things on Railroads.
The changes in the timetables OF the
Maryland and Delaware divisions of the
Pennsylvania railroad which went into
effect at 1901 O'Clock Sunday morning.
have caused travellers to consult the new
cards closely. Some who overlooked the
changes yesterday and today missed
their trains, but as rule the patrons of
the road were familiar with the new or
der OF things.
The changes on the Maryland division
have been announced. Those on the
Delaware railroad are few. The south
bound train changes are as follows. The
accommodation which has been leaving
this city at 2 80 O'Clock p M, now leaves
at 03. The Norfolk express which left
at l.04 a. IN leaves at 1l.0G. The 9.56
a. M, express, northbound, leaves at
1906 The express formerly leaving at
ll.25 a. M, now leaves at IL %.
The new time card is an improvement
over the old one. The map of the p.
w. & B. railroad and connections is
shown on the cover and the schedule of
the Delaware division is arranged SINH
lar to that of the large tables, showing
the trains running north on one side
and the trains running south on the
other side of the schedule. Another i'm
portant feature is that the connections
with Baltimore & Washington are plain
ly set forth. The trains connecting with
Ocean City are also marked on the new
schedule.
The B. so. changes have been an
nounced and the people are thoroughly
familiar with them. The p. & r. Co.
has also made some changes.

AID THE ENUMERATORS.

From the Milford Chronicle.
In three weeks the census enumerators
will commence their work, and all
should remember that it is necessary to
answer their questions fully, that the
Government may make complete statis-
tics and records. These questions in no
way pry into home privacy, or into in
divldual interest, and their full and
truthful answer can in no way operate
detrimental to anyone, as the record is
not for local information. Aid the
enumerators.
