Whar an Observer Has TO Say on the
Subject Of the ssnatorship.
To the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
SIR: l have been reading your valua
bic paper stree It's hrat issue and in
reading yours and other papers Ia the
last week find that certain very plous
politicians are utterly disRusted TO think
that }. Edward Addicks should have the
eiirontry to be- candidate for the place
now held by Mr. Higgins
The very men who are now bowling
should have raised their hands and voices
when the primaries were held In Kent
aud Sussex counties. II Is q well known
TACT that the gentlemen who were nomi-
mated were Addicks men and his creations
from the fact that be furnished the
money to pay the taxes Of the negro
voters and therefore kept them from
being returned as delinquentB
IL appears that Mr. Higgins aud Mr.
Massey were appealed 10, but It also
appears that one would not and the Other
could not, and Mr. Higgins suggssie ed
that they 60 J Frank Alice of Dover.
who, II appears is the financial head Of
the Aodicks travelling bank in Kent and
sussex, and through him they got 81 COO
az a starter
Mr.. Higgins should have known. and
did know, that Addicks was q candidate
six years ago and he should have known
that IN this contest he would have in
Addlcks foeman worthy Of spurs
Now then, gentlemen, you might as well
Keep quiet, for the owner OF tho Now
Then Is in the lead. You approved of
the purchase OF the voters ana ne made
the deal with the men voted for / DO
not see anything to find fault with any
more In the one case han In the other
H there Is any. the men who endorsed
the methods are the most to blame
There is one young man named Blllsnv
the city auditor, who has entered bis
protest. / wonder II he has forgotten
his experience In Chester with Young
Harry Pickles and John Lewis some
years ego, when they were calonizlng
negroes from here 60 Chester TO rob The
people Of Delaware county Of the right
TO choose their own officers and, as John
Lewis told me, the law officers made II
very warm for them, and at least one of
them Yves lucky TO escape Media iail FOR
q term.
With these very wise gentlemen it is
all right TO resort to any meens to win
with the voter, but when the election rs
over these very men raise their voices
heavenward and want to be- the bens-
hoiaries OF what they endorsed at the
time aud now only condone because thew
think that they are not in t.
According to the methods used. and.
clearly TO my mind, with the endorse
ment OF the leaders of the Republican
party, Addicks ia entitled TO the prize
Tor ne paid for 10. Some men choke at
gnat and viii swallow a camel.
u is only few years ago that there
were two men in this county elected TO
the lower house of the General Assembly
as Lore men and who were candidates for
The nomination as suoh But. BY
throwing little sop ia the shape of an
oifce to one and rewarding q close friend
OF the other with another office aud one
retained IN Office deputy during his
term OF Office as radical Republican as
there is in this county. Had it not been
for the treachory ct that time the present
chief justice would ills day be our
honored senator.
/ hope thet the men who have pledged
themselves TO the millionaire from
Bfanaywine hundred will be more honor.
a9la. l have known him for eiahseen
years and look upon bin as a very smsr.
business man and a cultured gentleman.
who. II elected, will look after the well
fare Of our little state. 1t is about time
hat the people We're getting ont of the
Inc laid down by the mos sbankers "a this
state and try some new blood
