Mr.. william Dean. u

MR. EDITOR - see that Mr.. VIM,
Dean, in the Euerg EUening and CONNER
cidl, accuses you of turning against the
Democratic party In 1872, because you
advocated the election Of the nominee of
that party, Horace Greeley, for President.
i know you, like most of the Democratic
party, were opposed TO Mr.. Greeley poht-
fcally, but the New York and New Eng
land delegates to the Convention at Bal
timore, aided by some of the delegates
from the Middle, Western and Southern
States, put Mr.. Greeley in nomination be-
fore the Convention, and he received d
two-thirds vote and was declared the can
didate of the party. Senators Bayard
and Salisbury and the Hon. b. i. Biggs
were the Delaware delegates. They OPP
posed the nomination, as / know you did
also. But as all who participated in the
work of the Convenfi0n--at home in
State Convention or In the election of
delegates to either--were bound by the
rules of the party organization TO sustain
the nominees, there, was. no honorable
course for you as a party man to pursue,
but to support the nomination. / well
remember that Senators Bayard and
salisbury and Hon. B. I. Biggssupported
the nominee and that Mr.. Bayard wrote
a powerful open letter to John p. Coch-
ran, Esq, the present Governor, urging
L have heard Mr.. Dean tell you that yon
did right in supporting Mr. Greeley dur
ing that very campaign, while he himself
preferred to attend convention Of
straightouts at Louisville, and afterwards
to rend the party in Delaware by running
a staight out ticket Whether this was
the cause of our defeat in Sussex county,
