and vet Notwithstanding this appeal to
the rum-sellers they would still sell
rum, ma the sspss ofitis breause 1t is
Their business. They would not be the
rum sellers as they are but they can not
help it. All they want is men to drink
enough to keep them in ease. The rum
sellers are sorry that Demby was mur-
dered, and he believed If they tsok a
Jury Of them they would hang every
one the murdersrs because by the crime
they have disgraced the business.
If II was not for business the rum
seller would be a better man. The
real murderer of Perry Demby will BIZ
discovered at the May term OF Court;
the Judges will sit on the case, which
by the way really grew out OF their
negligence, and that is something In
their favor. i'll was in the Life lnsur-

for the. guilty parties would be a good
man. and do all he can to save them
Delawar never hangs the murderer OF
negro. This Injuries Delaware, be-
cause Delaware has a man who Is a
candidate for the Presidency, and no
state secure the candidate who Kills
her negroes. (He hoped the reporters

The rum seller helped to kill Perry

to xiii him, because they did not clost
no the saloons long ago. TLey made
great show in shutting up these places
altar the crime had been committed, bu'
why did they not shut them up "htl
they were using them for places IL
vhics to make political speeches at
election times. 1t is their sworn duty tt
shut these places mp. Public opinion
had much to do and Is the greatest
criminal. Thousands sit in their homes
and bewail the times but never give
dollar for temperance. You Will proba-

rum seller, the Christian would be beat
en- by large majority.
The people are stronger in 'he'r po
litical prejudice than they are III thti
moral convictions Of right. In orde'
TO succeed in this temperance move

aid in every legitimate way so tina
these murders will be impossible.
