INV CONGRATULATIONS 1n thA1 Wnkss
MILFORD, Del, Oct, 20.-It Is plain
that the Baynrd- Gray portion of the
Democracy OF this little State see the
handwriting on the wulla that they
have no trouble In TRANSMITTING Its
from hore, embodying as 1t does the
outspoken sentiments of the farmers OF
this section, has Isee gone the rounds
and no one Of all the Gray Democratic
organs has seen fit to deny the sound
ness Of the farmer arguments ad-
therein. Tha Delaware Pilot I notice
has attempted to treat the matter
lightly, but its anxiety crops out in
every line Of its very lame argument.
In one place 1t says:
"Of course the reason advanced Ia
that q lawyer will be Influenced In his
puplic capacity by his business con-
nections." In reply to this, your cor
respondent would say, of course, no,
not necessarily. hut at the same time
would ask the editor of the Pilot
whether he recollects that Senator
Thomas F. Dayard was the retained
attorney Of the Swift & Courtney Match
monopoly, OF Wilmington. and that
Senator Thomas 4. Bayard fought
hard to retain the tax on matches
when that powerful monopoly was
fighting hard to accomplish the same
end, and that both succeeded. OF
course, oh OF course, Mr. Bayard was
net influenced In his senatorial vote by
his monopolistic retaining fee.
But 1t was strange that both he and
his corporation had the same ideas at
the same time, wasn't it?A good many
marrow minded Eand foolish people,
charged at that time that the immacu-
late Bayard was influenced by his
counsel fee, and the working men Of
Wilmington at that time carried their
convictions with them to the polls,
and II the editor OF the Pilot will fur.
Their remember, soemphetic were these
sentiments expressed, that had it not
been for Kent and Sussex counties,
Mr.. Thomas F. Bayard would have re-
tired from the United States at the
end OF that term.
Now, the farmers OF this section have
not said that George Gray would be
influenced byhis Pennsylvania railroad
retaining fee in his senatorial capacity.
But the farmers of this section are not
fools, or II they have been they have
now ceased TO be. They know by bit
ter experience the uphill fight they
have had against the expressions and
extortions OF this identical corporation
Of which George Gray Is the paid attor-
ney. They know also,a do the farmers
and toilers of many other States what
efforts this same gigantic monopoly
makes to obtain for its agents seats In
both houses of the National Congress.
We know also that In many other
states their brethren have succeeded
in breaking the strength OF this ana
conda by retiring these agents, send
ing to the halls of legislation their
own men-and-well they are deter
mined to do the same thing In Della
ware. They are tired Of fighting this
monopoly all through the seasons and
then going TO the polls and voting TO
put It's agents in high places-and
they have determined TO strike where
their power will he felt. X. S. j.
