DOVER. Del, September, 9th, 1888
No doubt you are aware that the Demo
Gratis held county convention of this
fKent) county and nominated ticket
and again no doubt you are aware that
the current report is that the Salisbury
men win not support that ticket. First,
let us see If it is true that they have
boted. If you speak with people whether
the Salisbury men will support the
ticket. the report is that they win not
The Delawarean had the ticket at its
head and then took it down. The Sauls-
burys are doing everything in sheir
power to cause n rupture at the Novem-
Der election and bolt the ticket. Now.
this is enough to prove that they will
not support the ticket and further,
have been informed that they held a
caucus and resolved to 90 to the Repub-
icans and give them all their assistance
they could This ends the doubt.
and the fact is that they viii not give
their MD to the Democratic ticket.
What is the reasong Is it because they
have not been treated right by the party
or is it because they think the Dunn
party wrong and the Republican party
right2 Neither The true cause il that
having been nurtmed by the party 50
long, and having fastened their selfish,
hellish claws upon the throat of Democ-
racy and prevented her from speaking
except, when loosened by their hands,
that now when the sovereign people seek
Co throw them off they rebel and utter in
laundering tones that unless they are al
lowed to maintain their clutch they will
strangle her to death. They seek to
overthrow the popular vote Of their party,
voiced in a public meeting; they
try TO force upon the party their
narrow minded principles and seek
to control and rule with chains Of
iron and tongues Of gall This they
have done for four years past, but now
the yeritable form Of individual opinion
and public sentiments speaks in tones of
earnestness and truthfulness and bids
them either look TO their interests or
things must and will be changed The
people have taken stand and will not
submit to the rule or ruin policy They
point TO the men who have injured the
cause Of Democracy and tell these people
that they have had enough Of their high
handed, insolent and over bearing rulings
and that they soon propose to take the
matter in their hands But what is the
result2
The men whom we have supported and
tolerated now seek to destroy the party
that gave them life and strength. The
thing upon the face of it shows their un-
principled and selfish disposition The
idea that other people beside themselves
have not a vote and voice in this matter
1t is absurd and let the Salisbury men
like Faust sell themselves to the Repub-
leans merely to try and wreak ven
geance. A reckoning day will come and
they will find that the mother that bore
them refuses to recognize them They
will be forever lost to the Democratic
party and identified with those with
whom they cohabit Talk of treason and
treachery, of spleen and gall These men
refuse TO aid ticket nominated by their
fellow Democrats and seek in every pos
sibe way to defeat it, Look
well to it, you men who
pursue this course and your path viii be
pointed to rs Benedict Arnold's, William
Mahone's and Riddleberger's. Men who
will sell their heritage for such a low
price as disappointment will be damned
forever politically. Democrats will be
only too glad to let them 90, and Repub-
licans win be afraid to take them in.
Who could even think that Salisbury
could tear the Democratic ticket
from the head of its paper and
support the Republican party? But
they will do anything to gain their end.
II is born in them. They have the audac-
ity to declare that j. L. Wolcott shall
not 60 to tie United States Senate. Do
they control every voter in the stateq Do
they have the power to dictate to men
who are their superiors? They were
taught lesson the first of the month
and let them profit by it. They can not.
nor will not receive the votes of men who
are honest Democrats. How can Uncle
Eli sit where he does and allow his in
struments to do these thingsf ]
should think that the services
rendered to him by his old Democrat c
party would stare in his face dnring the
day and haunt his dreams at night Three
terms and now not satisfied The battle
was.won fairly and squarely and let
them step up like men and support the
ticket. If they refuse and go to the
enemy, then we say FAREWELL long fare.
well. You may often think Of the good
old times you used TO have but future
fruits are now beyond your reach. Adieu.
