THAr pEMOCRATIc MONEY.
From the Wilmington Morning News
RepD.

From the Wilmington Morning News
Rep)
The hide and seek editor or editors
of the Dover Index think that The
Morning News" is inclined TO become
facetious over the lamboyant story
printed by the Index TO the effect that
some prominent Democrat WAS busy
distributing money to other Democrats
during the campaign and that through
the agility and keen scent Of cash
possessed by Colonel Hughes and Cen
eral Kenney the money was given
back. The only thing about the mat
ter that may approach facetlousness rs
the thought Of the awful distress or
the Kent Democrats when they We're
compelled to return any money that
was showered upon them for political
purposes.
The main point In the matter Is seri-
Gus. for the Index says that the Demo-
cratic National Committee was IN
formed about the man running amuck
throughout the county dropping sums
of 5000 here and there. but the Demo-
cratic workers were forced to give up
the tainted cash. The committee, ac-
cording TO the Index, gave no explana-
ton of the queer proceedings, and the
fact that no notice was taken of the
complaint which was forwarded 70
the committee. according TO the Index
nuts the committee in the light OF
sending money to Delaware for dubi-
Gus purposes. And this in face Of the
fact that the Democratic committee
and il candidate for President were
singing high and low the praises OF
clean elections.
The Index reiterates its charge thai

Springfield, Tenn, is to be con-
graduated on soon having a theatre,
to be opened by The Rex Amusement
Co., of this city. We assure the peo-
pie of Springfield that they will have
something to be proud of, for every
thing The Rex people do is always of
the best.
A new building is being built for
the company and will be a replica of
The Rex Theatre here. The only
difference is that the Springfield
building is not quite so wide as the
one here but is deeper. 1t is to be
furnace heated and brilliantly light
ed with electricity and the floor will
slope from the front and opera chairs
will be used The company is plan
ming to have their initial moving
pictures thrown on the canvass the
first of the year. Springfield may
rest assured that the very best of
movies will be furnished, as the reels
used by The Rex here will be sent
direct to Springfield for exhibition
there.
Another thing the Springfield peo-
pie are to have, though we cannot
we'll afford to spare him, is mana
ger that will please them. Mr..
Robt. E. Waller, who has been Mr..
Shrode's assistant, will have full
control at Springfield. Besides be-
ing perfect gentleman in deport-
ment, he knows how to please the
people. He has a word of cheer for
everybody and is young man who
makes friends of everybody he meets.
He is faithful in business but is new
err too much engaged to prevent him
from being courteous and agreeable.
