WHAT MR.. ELLEGOOD SAYS.

Salisbury, Md, Nov. 6.-Hon. James
E. Ellegood, in talking over his defeat
for Congress, said:
'.I have no fault to find, except that
probably there was not the organized
effort to prevent bribery which | ex-
peoted. do not believe the Democrats
in any county in the district spent
money, but it is very evident that the
Republicans spent much. l would have
been better satisfied if the local or
ganizations in each county had had
these boodlers arrested. made clean
fight and my party stood by me. / am
more gratitied with my honest vote
than I should have been with more
votes dishonesty secured. 1 said In the
campaign that had rather go down In
honest defeat than be elected by brib-
cry, and / feel the same now. l do be-
lieve that this attempt to run an honest
campaign will be start in the right
direction, and that some good will come
of it. Like all other reforms, it cannot
be accomplished in day, but the seed
once sown will certainly bring har-
vest. -
Mr.. Ellegood has received word from
several parts of the district that the
Democratic leaders have evidence OF
vote buying on the part of Republi-
cans, and all this evidence will be
gotten together and may be of great
service later on.
