fit corpse for the Legislative bury1ng
ground.
Dover could not have been more
surprised at the report that some bad
man had offered Reprcs entatiyc Hearn
the munifcent sum of $1,000 II he
would kindly absent himself from Do
yer Thursday, than il they had been
told that he had been kidnapped and
spirited away. The report goes that
Walter spurned the $1,000 spot, ana
spat In his hands and then sWore.
What is two thousand dollars! VINO
ever heard of a Democrat being puf'
| chased and especially in Delaware.
Your correspondent knows Repre-
sentative lIearn and considers him a
man that could not be purchased. 1t
| looks as if it was putup job on wal,
ter by some designing man who llao
no authority to offer him money 1or
| his vote. The only wonder is tlat
the man is living to-day, who ever nc
was that would do such q mean thlng
! as to attempt to bride member OF
the Legislature. He should have
| been killed ON the spot and his pock-
| cts searched.
Some persons who have bills in the
Legislature imagine that other per-
| sons who visit Dover arc down Tor
| their health. II so they should at
once disburSc themselves of all s'Ich
notions. The majority Of them have
! better health than phlloric pocHet
| books. We do not mean this in any
way as a reflection upon any member
| of the Legislature, for as VIC have
! stated before in this column, the mem
| bcrs of the present Legislature Will
! compare Us fayorably with any ot'icr
| body of men that sat IN the LegIs'a-
turc and have transacted as much
| business up to date as any former Ley.
