Here is a gem Of truth from the
Sussex Republican of Georgetown /:
"Addicks may buy every purchasable
vote in the State and he can control
avery election officer, but he cannot
win. He has bought all he can buy and
his election officers can only assist him
by fraud, and this the courts will see
they do not dc" Yes, let him do his
worst with his money, but he cannot
absolutely buy the conscience of ma.
iority of the people of Delaware.

Why sueh confldenee2

Abiding to dispatch in the Phila-
delrhia Inquirer noting the activity
and confidence of the Union Republi-
cans of Kent and Sussex counties, the
Union Republican of Georgetown says !;
And the reason for that activity is
that the Union Republicans feel con-
iident OF their ability to win the com
ing election without any help from the
Regulars. We are getting stronger
every day, and our party workers are SO
encouraged over the outlook that they
feel like work. Ask any Union Ropub-
lican, or honest Democrat in Sussex
county who is acquainted with the
situation, and he will tell you that
there never was time in the history
of our party when victory seemed Sc
certain. We are going to win this time
and it makes us active
1t is not hard to ascribe reason fol
this confidence. 1t is no doubt due tc
belief that the barrel will DO tapped
and the golden stream poured out fol
the debauchery of the ballot,
Still, when it comes to the point, the
honest voters of Delaware will hav,
something to say, and they may refuse
to allow the Legislature and the two
Senatorships to be made a matter o
barter and sale.

offered him some cakes she had in u
bag. He answered that he was not
hungry, but was tired by his journey
from Coatesville.

her walk, when the negro grabbed her
with one hand, and struck her a blow
in the eye with the other. She trio 4
