The Delaware Straight-Out Truth Teller was an American semi-monthly newspaper based in Wilmington, Delaware. It was founded in 1872 by William Dean and John A. Brown in response to political dissension in relation to the United States presidential election of that year. The paper supported the Straight-Out Democratic Party presidential candidate Charles O'Conor and was a strong opposer of Liberal Republican Party candidate Horace Greeley. Its motto was "O'Conor & Adams; Honesty, Patriotism and Statesmanship." The paper appears to have ceased publishing after the election ended.
