LETTER FROM pfMooRAr-rHx KENYON MEETING
--=fHE sAutsBuhy THREATs usAvAIIISo.
To the Editor Of the Con,merciai:-- a
On Thursday week, the Saulsburyites held
meeting at Kenton. The attendance was small
whether on account of the weather or for other
reasons, we oannotsay. We do know, however,
that the Head Center of the Ring was there with
a number Of the fawning pups who bark for him,
actuated by hopes Of future Levy Courtship or
collectorship, il he succeeds in quilting the peo-
pie into believing the Fifteenth Amendment the
Issue Of this campaign. Thomas +. Bayard first
addressed the meeting in lengthy discourse
about the 18th Amendment st. Domingo, and in
proving the superiority Of the White Man to the
negro, and concluded by advising all Democrats
to remain with the Salisbury party. Now we
always thought Tom Baysrd gentleman and
considered him as worthy leader of the old
Democratic party as the State ever produced, and
we we're very sorry to find him lending his in.
| fluence to this clique, who have cheated and
msrepresented the people of Kent county for the
last ten years. Thomas, you have no put in tins
affair, and people who live in glass houses should
not throw stones.
After Mr.. Bayard and tho music had subsidized
| the Man of Destiny Cove the LIST. was called to
| the stand after saving " Fellow Citizens" and
| ). Niger and " 18th Amendment" each about
a score of times, during which he indulged in as
| MANY gestures as man i'll an epeptc mt, ne
hemmed hawed, got to his stopping place and
concluded.
The next speaker was the Appoquiniminli
War Horse, Samuel Townsend, 80 notorious as a
turn coat and disorganizer. In fact his politics
changed so often in 1860 that Plantation Bit
tiers manufacturer, in Philadelphia, constructed
his trade mark from the circumstance il
is: s. L. X, 1850, meaning that Samuel Townsend
changed his politics Ten times IN the year 1860
I'll bet ftp Samuel never bought bottle OF that
mans medicine. This was the kind Of man whom
the Saulsburyites choose to reproach us for oui
ipgratitude to our " bread and butter getters,
the Salisbury Ring A Ring which they are
| seeking to make exist like eternity itself tcnhou
an end This fea-like potician-that you are
not certain Of even when you have your hand OF
him-changed oftener in one year than all who
signed our call have, during their lives.
Democrats of Kent. County you have won the
, opportunity of breaking the sway of this clique
| every single member of which is pledged to carr,
out the schemes of the Family, whether 1t com
promises your best interests or not. They woult
sink the Democratic party sooner than lose then
, power. This faction boasts of having made som'
of the men who were bold enough to sign the
recent call of the Independent Democrats for
County Convention. Is this not dangerous
, power to give to yourrulers? This power belong
. to Kings only. They also say that they inten,
to bury us on the 9Th day Of November next. w
thank them very kindly, but having just beef
. dug up, we hope on that day we shall be able II
say, we must respectfully decline to be burie
under the taxes acruing from printing bills ant
odous tax bills, and the fees paid to those TO
c whom you have especially created offices.
4 Such threats as these, will bore hole in thei
' party large enough to bury the whole clique, s
deep that politically they will never more be hear
y Of. People sometimes dig their own graves
: They say they intend to bury us. Did they neve
hear of Haman and the gallows that he built
Who can blame Polly for asking divorce fror
h Billy; is not he corrupt to the core don't h
c say one thing and do another? This clique az
cuses some Of our leaders of turning States ev
dence They are actuated by the same motive
: toward the Democratic party that men al
j toward themselves when their lives are in dange
/ One tells the truth to save his line, the othe
: tells the truth to save his party, from destrut
- ton. DEMOCRAT.
