SATURDAY. APRIL 10. ,sss.

Who Are 1.-THE People OF wIhufnst one,
The question Is easily answered by
those who visit Dover, and watch the
Especially Is this so in
answer to the question: Who are The
People OF Wilmington Three men
Aave constituted themselves The
People of Wilmington" and are on
band to answer for the dear people
whenever any question Of a partisan
mature comes up OF other questions
they know but little. but on all politi.
cal questions they are "rhe People OF
Wilmington"
The names OF these three who con.
etitute q political triumv- rate to
represent the dear people" are John
T. Dickey, Patrick Noary and John p.
Callahan. Mr.. hickey is the receiver
OF taxes and county treasurer OF New
Castle County. on salary OF $4,000
year, but he has just bulldozed the
Legislature on behalf OF THE people
of Wilmington" to give him another
thousand year In addition. On, it
pays Dickey to ba one oil. THE people
OF Wilmington" His Office enables
him to bulldoze three or four thou.
sand Republicans out OF their votes.
which is very important requisite in
keeping the Democratic party in
power In the county, and entities him
more emphatically to the title of one
OF THE people of Wilmington"
The second, MIR. Neary is no less an
important member OF The People
of Wilmington" fraternity. Unitk o
Brother Dickey, he has not exactly
got public office at the present time.
Years ago he and Brother Dlckey were
county tax collectors. both poor when
they got the offices, but from which
they emanated comparatively rich
men. Mr.. Neary. however, need not
want public Office SO long as he Is
kaolln sand contractor for tho Street
and Sewer Department, from which 10
received last year some $500.
Tho sand cost very littlo, and Mr..
Neary was enabled to realize very ME o
profits. Mr.. Callahan, another OF Tho
people Of Wilmington'ls the youngest
OF the trio and like Mr.. Neary has no
Office at the present time. but he is
bound to have one OF know the reason
why. That no has great political
tact and talent cannot be denied from
the fact that Dickey and Neary have
taken him into political partnership
and made him one OF the three 'peo
pie OF Wilmington" ...-". ..-.
Whenever any partisan measur
comes up before the legislature, THE
People Of Wilmington" are on hand
In the persons OF Dickey, Neary and
Callahan. When tho bill came up t.
disfranchlse thousand Republicans
In Kent and Sussex counties by a 70

taxes to dlsfranchise Republicans mt
will, Tho People OF Wilmington'w er,
heartily in favor of 1t. "The peoplt
OF Wilmington" stand maufuly by
che new Police Commission, and there
are no more hearty supporters of tn,
bill putting Mr.. Carpenter back in tin
Street and Sewer Commission than
.'The People of Wilmington
If the question was raised as 10 who
were In favor of these partisan meas
ures. 1t would DO easily answerc,
by referring to "Tho people Of vii
mlngton"-Dickey. Neary and Gala
han. Tho stereotyped paragraph it
she newspapers, stating that "Dielsey
Neary and Callahan were IN Dover to
day." would lose It's interest w,ra /

of Wilmington" and derive their grea
importance from that fact. ] ail Has
