"This is the list now as far as can think
Of them, but here you will see that in the last
few years about $4,000 Of Government
money has gone into the pockets of Gray
aud his relations directly through the efforts
of Senator Cray, who Fowler says hasn't time
to look out for places for his constituents.
Again say that Fowler certainly made a
mistake when he INVITED a comparison of
the work Of the two senators ia this line.
Higgins has secured scores of appoiutmer IS
and not one of them for a relation. Gray
has secured appointments for mighty few
but his own relations.
Further, I see Fowler takes occasion to
make dirty fling at Senator Higgins pri-
vate secretary, entirely uncalled for, aud en-
tirely outside the issue he tries to answer
and slur that no sensible man ever believed
had a word Of truth in it. In this Fowler
showed that he could stoop to do some very
dirty word He lodges the main cause of
our complaint. We say that George Gray is
in the employ Of and is controlled by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. He is
one oftheir legal advisers.
We say further that this corporation is no
friend to the Delaware farmer. It is and
has been our enemy-hghts our interests
at every point We said further that
these corporation attorneys were ousted from
their seats in the United States Senate by the
farmers and workingmen of other States;
this fact Mr. Fowler must be conyersant
with Will he tell us why? Were these
farmers also fools? think they knew what
they were doing-and let me tell you so do
we, and if you live till next fall you'll see
we mean business.
Fowler further says that its nonsense to
think that a corporation can control its at
torney's vote in the United States Senate.
How about Tom Bayard and the Diamond
State Match Monopoly? Does Fowler re-
member that Bayard as the paid attorney of
the match monopoly stood in the Senate
and fought against taking the tax off matches
because the monopoly didn't want them
taken off although the people did ? The
people of Delaware haven't forgotten this.
Fowler then goes off about the Railroad mo-
nopolies only employs the most brilliant and
able men as their attorneys and its because
Of their wonderful ability that they are EN-
ployed, aud he sneers at Senator Higgins be-
cause he isn't a corporation attorney.
Why, Fowler certainly don't prove him
self much of politician in this, and it will 1
hardly help him IN his insurance commits |
iioner fight. Why, can take him to Dover
md show him men who couldn't win a three
,ent case in court, and yet they are in the
,aSN of and carry free passes oyer the Penn
ylvania fsilroad-why Simply because
hev are lobbyists,4hat's what railroad-f6o.
lopoly wants, men w6oVean work-t6r them
n legislative bodies aud iffhey can plant a
nan on the floor Of the United States Senate
where vote will count, why any blaired
ool knows that he is worth dozen men in
be lobby.
These are our beliefs and sentiments. and
ven if we are only ignorant tillers of the
oil we are going to carry them to the polls
ext November and call of the Pennsylvania
abroad influence. B.
