Probably Among the Last the Great Poet
wrote-Received by Dr. Edward Me-
Inali.
The sudden death of that prince of
philosophers and peerless author, DR..
Oliver Wendell Holmes, at Boston,
brings to notice recent letter written
by the "Autocrat of the Breakfast
Table," to his friend, Edward McInall,
formerly of this city. 1t is probably
among the very latest penned by that
eminent poet, being dated September
9Th, '94. 1t is an autograph letter and
displays a very fra, round hand, still
full Of vigor.
1t reads as follows:
BEVERLY FARMS Sept. 6, 1s94.-4Uy Dea,
Sir Please accept my very sincere thanks
for your kind letter, and for your remem-
brance of my birthday, and believe ME
Yours very sincerely,

Seaford News.
Mr. Addlcks is citizen OF several
States at once and thinks he ought to
be able to represent one in the United
States Senate. He is reported to have
said six years ago, when the Senatorial
fight was on, to a staunch old citizen Of
the Republican party: "Mr. p, my
income is $l50,000 year, and intend
to go to the Senate from Delaware" His
proud old hearer replied: "AIr. Addicks
when that day comes am Democrat. "
Mr.. Addicks is an insult to every decent
and intelligent citizen of Delaware no
matter what his party is. He cares
not what the people think or
what principles OF government they
believe ID, he proposes to buy
them like slaves, speak for them
like their master. The proud and jeal-
Gus spirit which has actuated Delawar-
cans in the selection of their Senators
has not been lost and they will never
permit that the duties so ably and
honorably performed by the Bayards,
Clayton, Saulsburys and Gray shall be
taken up by a corruptionist and boodlcr
like Addicks.

A representative of The GAZETTE
called upon Charles Beadenkopf,
the Congressional candidate on the Peo-
pies party ticket, Sunday to interview
MIN further in regard to his remarks OF
Saturday night touching upon the with
drawal Of some OF the friends of the
movement.
He SAID he had not much to add to
what he had already said ON Saturday
night, and had supposed that would
have been sufficient explanation in re-
gard to the Withdrawals. Two or three
months ago money was received by the
Independent Labor party, it is under
stood from Republican sources. Those
who have withdrawn from the Peoples
party only found that out on Sunday
last, when Il meeting OF the leaders was
held.
In regard to certain letters, communi-
cations from the Republican leaders,
Mr.. Beadenkopf understood they had
been received prior to August LIST,
although he could not give the date
exactly. They were written before the
organization of the Peoples party. The
latter movement, Mr.. Beadenkopf in
sists, is entirely distinct from the In
dependent Labor movement
BACH OFFERED MONEY.
He however saw the letter which was
written by Mr.. Bach, in wich Mr.. Hig-
gins private secretary offered the sum
of 500 for the general purposes of
strengthening and boosting up the Inde-
pendent Labor movement In addition,
MIR. Beadenkopf knew Of an offer made
last February to furnish room with
billiard tables and other pleasant ameni-
ties to be used for campaign purposes,
which was to be given the party rent
free. This offer was, Mr.. Beadenkopf
says, declined.

u John III. Rollo, editor of the Ref0rmer,
the official organ of the Peoples party,
was seen at his residence, southwest
corner of Eighth and Clayton streets.
He declined TO talk about the matter
further than to say that he was between
the devil and the deep sea-" and at
present had nothing to say. His pecu-
liar position, he said, prevented him
from talking at this time. He said he
had expressed his views in the Retormer
and pointed to an editorial in the paper
in which he charged that corruption
funds" had been used among members
of the 'independent political organiza-
tion" of Delaware "frjm which the
Peoples party arose." The article in
question was published in Saturdays

to say to the charge made by the editor
of the Ref0rRer that corruption fund
was being used by lone of the old politi-
cal parties among the members OF the
Independent Political Club who were
foremost in the organization of the
Peoples party. Bach defined to talk
upon the subject, further than to assert
that he 'dldn't corrupt anybody" He
had nothing to say in regard to the
charges of Republican corruption money
being furnished to advance the People
party movement.

us to furnish work longer than we
otherwise could have done.
