D, DEL, April II, 1898.
To HON. John W. CAUsEY,
MTLFnRD. DEL.


DEAR SIR Ever since last election whet
my fellow-couHtrymen mostly black, de
cided by ballot that it would be to the bes
interest Of this great aud glorious country
and TO the D. voting place in particular,
that should remain for a short time Longer
an humble private citizen--iustead Of plac
ing upon me the heavy responsibilities of In
spector of Elections in this distiict-which
my Democratic friends had by an over
whelming unanimous vote nominated me to
be-provided, could get elected in a dis
trict where there was two Republicans to
one Democrat, and where they knew that
my Old friend Grover" could not be elected
Inspector had he been honored with the
nomiuation)-I have pondered if it was not
that ''inYisible something" that watches
over aud shapes the destiuies Of nations, that
had caused my defeat, and reserved me for
something higher and more noble in uphold
ing the honor and dignity of this nation.
Ihave come to the conclunion that lit be-"
That the Eyer-Watchfnl and All seeing Bye
saw, when was born over twenty-five years
ago, that there was hole in Washington;
aud that was destined to be the plug for
that hole; aud the only reason have not
been called upon sooner-was because the
&c. o. P" held all the trumps and 1 could
not get in. am positively dead-sure, that
the above is the only and true reason why
the country has been going to the Dev-dogs
for the last quarter of a century. Now that
we have found this out, the wisest and best
thing to do, to remedy it at once.
AsI am we'll acquainted with you, and
know that you consider the welfare of your
country of paramount importance 10 every
thing else, and that would bleed and die
for this same part of the globe-provided
there WAS enough "lucre" in it ard not much
bleeding and dYisg to be done, for don't
this dying business). I hereby
offer to you the selection ofthe hole that
was born to ill-provided always that it is
aboYe ground. feel competent at this
present moment to fill any position from
of State down; but as most otthose |
higher Offices are already filled, i will be sat |
isfed with one a few notchss lower.
N6hai1 troubling you in this matter wish |
10 say, r e course, am aware that for me
10 get a good position under this govern |
neut, it would only be necessary for me to
go to Washington and take the position-but
IS I am not acquainted there, and might get |
nto the wrong building, would prefer you
o pick out the place for meas probably you
will be going to Washington before do
AIN sorry, but will not be able to stop as
your guest while there, but will meet you al
III the important State dinners, etc, etc.
Yours truly,
