REPLIES 10
NEWSPAPER CRITICISM

In reply to criticisms on his actions re-
garding the appointment Of voters as
sistants. Governor HUM makes the fol-
lowing statement
So much has been printed in relation
to our position on the appointment Of vot-
ers' assistants that. while we are averse
to answering articles Of this kind. in jus
tice TO all concerned. there seems no way
but this, and we want TO remind our
Democratic friends in language well
known and often quoted seemingly thou
dost protest too much"
Concerning the great scheme SO often
mentioned we wish to say once and for
all that no Republican, Union or Regu-
lar, has ever, by word or intimation, con
yeyed TO us a desire concerning the ap-
pointment Of voters assistants or any
mention Of the scheme so often referred
to.
In fact, the very first and only infoi
nation we have had on this subject was
conveyed to us in a letter from Mr.. Will
lard Salisbury, chairman Of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee. Our
firm belief is that the aforementioned
scheme never existed except in the inter
ested imagination of said committee. and
that in their desire TO make political cap
ital they simply forecast the future by
the past, and are surprised seemingly to
find in the Executive chair a Republican
above their self-measurement, who fights
fair politically and tries tO execute the
laws as he finds them

places Of public resort and q person
wishing 70 go to Philadelphia for the

go cents for the round trip. The regular
excursion rate between Wilmington and
Philadelphia is $l, and for one way the
price is 67 cents, 50 that this process
netted Che occasional rider 4 considerable
saving, and, on account of the very low
price of the monthly ticket. enabled the
original purchaser % clear from S5 to SIS d

face of the fact that the tickets are not
