The following letter from Dick Harring-
ton, Chairman of the Republican State Cen
| tral Committee Of Delaware, appears in to-
days Philadelphia Press:
To Tie Editor of The Piess.-DEAR SIR :
On my return this afternoon from an exten-
sive and wearisome trip ON the ship "New
Constitution, with which we are giving
Delaware thorough and effective canvass,
am in receipt OF your telegram of to-day.
| have submitted II to many of my friends
| and they all concur with me in the view
that cannot now reply to the charges of
Mr.. Bayard and the other gentlemen on the
other side of the fence.
My character and reputation among my
own people submit as my own vindication;
my neighbors think II unnecessary for me to
answer the charges reiterated from the
Democratic stump, but only, as happen to
know, to make us votes. We have got
them on the run, and their sole
and single purpose, in attacking
Judge Fisher, myself and others, is to
put us ON the defensive. We do not propose
so to be placed. Our campaign has been
from the beginning an aggressive one, and
really and firmly believe that on the Seventh
of November next you will find it a winning
one. feel sure that we shall elect our
State ticket, and have very little doubt but
that we will capture majority of the Legs-
lature and a Republican United States Sena-
tor.
Permit me to thank you for the courtesy
and evident kindness of your despatch, but
all matters considered, it is deemed the best
and wsest course for me to submit with pa
thence and dignity to the assaults which they
themselves know to be untrue. My social
and personal standing in this community is
not at all affected by what they say in their
speeches. If desired, / could tear the author
of their resolutions, Colonel Whiteley, to
pieces. n As to Mr.. Lore, / could
strike back at him, but | should have TO
strike back through the heart of his wife !;
and / trust am to much Of a man to do this:
trust to the good sense of the people of my
State to vindicate me by their verdict.
We have got them on the run and they
are bitter because they are defeated and they
are mad. We shall 90 on with the good
work, and with the assistance of friends
hope to redeem Delaware. ! would write
you more fully, but am simply worn out
with the hard work of the campaign.
Believe me, hastily, but faithfully yours,
RICHARD HARRINGTON,
Chairman of the Republican State Central
DOVER, DEL, Oct. IL.
CHAIRMAN HARRINGToN's CAMPAIGN
BAD FEELING ENeENDERED IN DOVER.
DOVER, Oct 14.-Chairman Harrington's
policy is one of defiance. Every speech he
has made down the State has showed that
he intends making no defense of the charges
made against him by the GAZETTE and
other papers, and the tenor of
all of them leads to the impression
that he does not think a defense at
all necessary. He goes about boldly,
making such declarations as these from the
deck of the New Constitution :" "The
GAZETTE has pictured a safe on this gallant
ship; have nothing to say to this except
that we will lock the Democratic party up in
that safe on November 7th !; g." am running
this campaign, am running the New
Constitution and Pll run it into harbor in
November :" "let people talk about me as
they will we mean to win a political triumph
in November"
This sort of thing is having its effect and
people who were inclined to have sympathy
for him are regarding him with disgust.
A good bit of excited political feeling is
prevalent here just now On Tuesday night
some boys, Republicans as well as Demo
Gratis, ran past the meeting with an
old boat on carriage running gears,
ing to break it open. Harrington blamed
Ell salisbury for it personally and de-
nounced him. To-day for the first time,
the Delawarea',, Senator Saulsbury's paper,
alluded to the safe burglary, giving the
history of the affair Editoyially the Deld-
todredn says:
We propose IN some respects to change the
course of this paper from now until the defeat of
the INSCRIPTIONS men who are trying to obtain
the ascendency in this State, from that it has
hitherto pursued.
Up to this tinea number of leading Republi-
cans have received Mt our hands great cOnsd-
Grafton, and have acknowledged it and thanked
the proprietor of this paper therefore. Some of
them will receive 1t no longer. By their course
mt their meeting on last Tuesday In personally
attacking prominent Democrats they have for
feted all claims to any mercy we were disposed
to grant them and hereafter they Will receive |
Justice only, full Justice and nothing more. We |
have until this time refrained from painting |
them in their true colors out of pity for them |
and respect and sympathy for their wives, fam |
ilies and connections, yet they have pre- |
sumed too far upon our patience in
going out of their way to make per
sonal attacks upon individual mem6ers |
of our party and from this time forth their anda-
city viii be punished as it deserves. While we |
are sincerely sorry for those who may shrink |
and shudder because of blows justly inflicted |
on these men, we must now begin to call things |
by their right names. We think it duty to |
put upon record in the files of the papers of this
State, the characters of the debased creatures |
whom the Republican party has chosen for Its |
leaders in this campaign, and although this |
may be extremely painful to some honorable |
woman and cast u shadow upon the lives of in |
nOcent children, yet the welfare of our State |
and the protection of the liberties of our citi-
zens demand 1t, What liberty, we ask you.will |
there be In this State If Richard Harrington is
to appoint onr Judges, our prosecuting officers.
pack our iuries and make our laws. as he will
