q Byme Of New York, growing out of
the speeches made by these gentlemen
IN the Opera House in Wilmington
during the present campaign. Mr..
WOodford has written Il letter to Mr.
/ O'Byrne asking him whether the al
iieged frauds the latter referred to were
IN violation Of the Federal or State
Jaws ana who is responsible foy the of
lenders not being punished. Mr..
Noodiord states that the assessment
laws OF Delaware hinders the education
OF her children and the development of
her resources.
Mr.. Biggs, in his effort to be thrilling
sometimes lets his rhetoric run away
with him and makes him say more
than he intends to. Thus in a speech
at Georgetown he is reported to have
said that Delaware belonged to Della
wareans that she did not belong to
the Irish, nor to the Dutch, nor to the
Germans, neither to the negroes" 1t
so happened, it is said, that among his
audience were men from New York, of
foreign birth, who were prospecting for
about $l50,0C0 worth of land for Il set
tlement, but said as they were not
wanted i'll Delaware they would go
elsewhere. Mr.. Biggs in a card denies
using the language, and so it would
seem his figure of speech was stronger
than he intended it to be in plain Eng
lish.
