Joi.ng About a Serious Subject.
"lhc Tran npt has always opposed
bribery whenever and by whomsoeyer
committed, says the Middletown TIau-
script, a Regular Republican newspaper
with strong Addicks Republican ten
denotes And then it gravely adds:
"fhe Republican party has always taken
the same position"
Now we protest against this heartless
joking about a very serious matter The
anti-bribery. campaign now under way in
this State is a sincere and earnest propo-
sition, and means business It proposes
to put a stop to the debauchery which
has disgraced elections in Delaware for
many years, and here we have a Repub-
lican paper throwing ridicule upon its
efforts by insisting that the Republican
party has always opposed bribery As
well might it insist that no Delaware
Democrat ever bought a vote
The Middletown Transcript cannot
discredit the anti-bribery campaign by
such senseless ridicule. If it cannot sup
port the good cause, let it come out in
the open and boldly combat il.

Thelr Rnnka Are orowlnr


The ranks Of the anti-bribery move
ment in Delaware are constantly enlarg-
ing. The total number of signers to the
anti-bribery pledge in now 13l, and there
is not the slightest abatement in the public
interest that has been aroused by the
movement.
These l3i men are not the entire
strength Of the anti-bnbery movement,
by any means. They arc only the rep
resentatives of those who are interested
in the cause. Behind them stand hum
dreds of good citizens who in their hearts
are with those who have given an earnest
of their faith by tho publication Of their
names. The circulation Of anti-bribery
pledges among these people would no
doubt result in securing hundreds of sig
natures.
But even II they stood alone, these 1871
signes of the anti-bribery pledge would
be sufficient for tho success Of the anti
bribery campaign. They can prevent
the buying Of a single vote at the next
election, and they propose to do so. And
in whatever they do in this direction
theyare sure Of receiving the sincere in
dorsement and hearty cooperation Of
the great body Of citizens who are opposed
TO vote-buying. Thus supported, they
cannot fail.

Should He Not Be Senator ?

Joseph II. Choate, recently returned
from the post of Ambassador to Great
Britain is now practicing law in New
York. After an argument before the
appellate division of the State Supreme
Court, last week, the presiding justice
remarked TO him: "AIr. Choate, whatever
view we may take as to your argument, or
as to the merits of the case, we wish to
express our qualification at having you
appear before us again, and we hope that
you will often come before the court in
the years to come"
This was high compliment, and Mr.
Choate gave It graceful acknowledgment.
Chauncey NJ. Depew is a lawyer, but
he has not been before the courts for
many years. Suppose he should take
case before the Supreme Court of New
York next week; would he receive the
greeting that was extended to Mr.. Choate2
Yet Chauncey Depew is a Senator of
the United States from the State OF New
York. Why should not Joseph H Choate
be chosen to succeed him ?

Post master-General Cortelyou is re.
ported, in the course of recent addres
as having urged that as a nation we must
wage "never-ceasing warfare upon cor.
ription in all its forms, insisting upon
obedience to law, from the highest to the
humblest." Noble sentiment, this, Of
itself considered, but coming from the
man who, as chairman of the Republican
National Committee, accepted money
stolen from the policyholders Of large in
surance companies as contributions to his
committees campaign funds, it isnothine

Banks ENCOURAGE ornft.


An investigation by committee Of the
Ohio Legislature has resulted in the dis
closure that banks in Cincinnati paid
liberal graft to the treasurer of Hamilton
county in return for having county funds
deposited in them without any require
ment for paying interest. County Trea-
surer r. X. Hyniclsa testified that his
"gratuities" from this source during the
first year Of his term amounted to between
$4,000 and $4,000. The deputy trea-
surer testified that he regularly visited a
number Of banks and received from them
without asking a question, sealed envel-
opes, although he would not say that
these envelopes contained money.
However, there is no doubt about the
contents of the envelopes. They con
tained the money given by the banks to
the grating treasurer for the favor Of
deposits of public money without exact
ing interest.
Now, what is the position Of the direc-
tors Of these banks Simply one Of rob

have paid on these deposits Of public
moneys, and surrendering a portion oI
