The Election.

Thanksto the Vigorous and de
termined stand against bribery ia
ken by Attorney General Richards
and tc the active efforts of the Ami
Bribery League to the same end
the election in this state was one Of
the cleanest we have had here fol
several years, and the vote as re.
corded probably represents the &C.
tual sentiments of the electors. No
doubt some money was used in a
corrupt way, as Of old, but we shall
never be able IS eliminate bribery
altogether until the arrival of the
millennium, an event that is not
likely to happen in the day of any
person now living.
The point on which the people of
Delaware may congratulate them
selves, is that corruption at the polls
is no longer the rule, and that pub
lie sentiment is now thoroughly
aroused against all forms of politi-
cal debouchery. It may be truth
fully said that the attitude of the
of the two political par
ties also had much to do with the
of the election, and that
if money was used in an improper
way it was without their knowledge

THE people of Cecil county, in
Maryland, voted to continue local
option at the last election. The
majority was small, but decisive,
and for another year that county
will be without a licensed saloon
or hotel. What the result would
be in Delaware, if vote on this
question were voted upon by the
people, opinion differs. The advo-
cases Of local option believe that
majority of the people are in favor
of their views, but it is a question
which should be settled and laid at
rest by submitting it to the people.

WELL, the gunners have had a
good time this season game has
been found plenty and large bags
have been brought in yet the pothunt-
ers are at work. Dealers or other
agents come guised as city sports
men and buy all the quail they can
get hold Of They go out, tramp
around, shoot occasionally and
come in at night; then they buy
all the game that the men who
hunt for the market offer, at prices
far beyond those paid by local peo-
pie who desire to enjoy bird or
rabbit. These men are dealers
agents or owners of restaurants in
the cities, and they taketheir game
home openly in many instances.
These are the general reports and
suspicious of men who have been
familiar with this method in the
past, but it is difficult to fasten the
facts to them until lthey have left
the State. We have no doubt that
in the main the situation is as sta
ted, and there should be way to
put stop to it.

THE Union Republican, publish
