ANSWER

The TRANSCRIPT evidently got
under the skin Of the assistant
editor of EUery EUenfng who un-
der the gnise of "Cemmanting''
on political events is LsDing to
shake the red rag of "negro dom.
nation . He says in reference
to our account of an actual state
ment by an agent of the Anti.
Bribery League that he was not
after the Democratic worker but
was after the Republican worker
In the same district, "Was this
worker the agent Of the Anti. Bri-
berry Leagueor of the Democratic
Party? Did the editor of THE
TRANSCRIPT, like q good citizen.
report the case to the officers of
the League or to the Democratic
officials or did he use it gloat-
ingly to discredit any reform
movement? Who was this incom-
petent and venal detective any
way? Who is the Democrat he
advised? Where was ite Did the
Democratic worker act on his adj
vice? The League wants accurate
information, etc :.
AS to the first question, we
snly have the statement Of the

.FALSH AND EXPERIMENT

There are evidences of apathy
in the Republican campaign in
Delaware. !"
The above from EUery Eveniag
Of Wednesday last is a sample OF
the truthful" statements for
which the editor of that organ
stands responsible. 1t may be
necessary, in order to run a
Democratic paper to make such
assertions. Had this appeared
prior to the Primary Election of
last Saturday, it might have
been urged in excuse that the
editor did not know hetter. But
with every paper, including his
own, full of the exciting nomina-
tion at which more than 5000
votes were polled, there is moth
ing to believe that the mis- state.
mentis wilful and malicious. !
It is time that the Chairman of
the Republican State Committee
is not issuing addresses or pro-
nunciamentos. But the work
necessary at this stage of a cam
paign is being done and when
the result of the election is an
nounced on November 9TH, the.
editor above referred to will be
wishing that the apathy under
which Democracy had labored
had been of the same brand as
the Republicans had enjoyed.

THE THREATENED THIRD TICKET

The disaffected late Union Re
publicansof thiscounty announce
their intention of placing a ticket
on the ballot for the purpose Of
defeating the Republicans. A
great deal of space is given by
Democratic papers to the actions
of the so.called Conventions" al
least two of which have been
held and another promised for
next Tuesday. At one of these
conventions" attended by an es-
timated fifty persons, speeches
were made, the nominee for one
of the county offices stating that
he expected to poll more votes at
the election than both of the can
didates for the same Office re-
ceived at the Primary Election of
last Saturday or more than 6, 900
votes. AS the Republican ticket
elected ,wo years ago received
slightly over IS, 900 votes, and as
1904 was a presidential year and
the vote was in excess of any
previously polled and much
larger than any one anticipates
viii be polled this year, such
statements can only be classed as
shot air" If the ticket really
appears on the ballot and the
nominees receive 100 votes, it
viii be a surprise as great to
them as the rest Of the com.
munity. This section of the
county has been honored by being
accorded to the candidate for
Sheriff. This was probably done
to bring votes to the ticket and It
will possibly secure the vote of
the nominee. His strength
with the Republicans of st.
Georges and Pencader Hundreds
was shown in the Primary Elec-
tioa Of 1904, when the sheriffalty
candidate was on the ballot as a
candidate for Levy Court Commits
sioner.
The real reason for such threats
is plain. Two years ago some of
the same persons were the cause
of a Primary Election being held
and u full county ticket nominat
ed. Prior TO the elections, for
cash considerations ranging from
81 900 to So, 500, the candidates re-
signed and the Republican nomi-
nees were substituted. Now, the
proposition is to have the Demo
cratic candidates stand for the
graft" in order to keep the
ticket on the ballot. II may Be
that the Democrats are still buy
ing gold bricks. It would not be
the first time. But the publicity
given to this matter should be a
warming and if they do get parted
from their cash. II win be their
own fault. Republicans are not
IN the business this year.

one OF t41e agents here in Middle
town on the 18th Of September
last. tie only date Oh which any
such agents have been here, was,
and is, employed By the Demo-
cratic Congressional candidate as
stenographer We cannot tell
whether he was an agent of the
League or Of the Democratic
Party Can Con mmentator?
THE TRANscRIPT did not re-
port the case TO the League nor
to the Democratic officials for the
reason that he apparently did bis
full duty. He watched the Re-
publican and shut his eyes when
the Democrat was about. Had
our informant specified any il
legal act done by the agent, We
would certainly have reported It
to the Attorney. General. But 1t
is not illegal to walk around in a
peaceable manner, even though
some people do not place a high
estimate on the work of a spy.
We did not use the story gloating,
~ but told it as it came to US and
after being satisfied as to its be-
ing true.
AS to the name of the place
where the incident happened, we
must decline to give any informa-
ton without the consent of our
authority. We are satisfied and
assumed the responsibility for
the story.
THE TRANSCRIPT said, that the
district where the incident oc-
Cured was one of the few dis
tricts that showed a fairly large
registration. This is evidence
of the fact that the Democratic
worker did act on the advice
given.
This we think covers all the
uestions asked. In time we
want to ask Commentator" who
appears among other duties to
assume the responsibility for the
8. 5 and intentions of the League
, aid its agents, when he says that
the League wants accurate infor-
nation, q few questions.
Who is Commentator?
Is it not a fact that every
agent employed by the League
is a Democrat and either now in
the employ of the Democratic
Party or some of its candidates
or is an active member of that
Organization working merely for
his expenses?
is it not fact that every such
agent has instructions, expressed
or implied, to watch Republicans
closely?
Is it not fact that every such
agent when sent to District is
furnished with the names of the
Republican Committeeman but
not with those of the Democratic
Committeeman?
