SUNDAY feature long letter on Dela-
ware politics, written from the Higgins
standpoint and inspired by the l|apVo-
lean chairman OF the First District
Committee, last Sunday that letter
made game Of Mr.. j. Alexander Fulton,
and by doing so confessed the corrupt |
scheme by which the Republicans gave
money to create a Peoples party organi-
cation in Delaware, II said;
This week The whole pcpuiy; party ot |
Delaware united withthe Bancroft society. |
A proclamation WAS issued bytbc PGpul>ts |

members of the party have strnyed away

afternoon paper With y long and detailed
scheme Of ballot reform, but il I hardly
probable thar his plan will receive any
supporters. Mr., Fulton figured in the IT.
cent canvass as the Pnpulist candidate Tor
Governor. lie had always been y Demo
eraI, but when u POpulist party was
formed in Wilmington he was an active
spirit.
The Wilmington folks found oW that
the Populist party was backed by The Re
publiCans and some of them left 1t. vi OF

evidently been deceived by his alleged
Populst friends. 1t was a cruel blow to
Mr.. Fulton, who has all his life been re-
former of some sort,
Remembering that the statement " the
Populst party was backed by the Re
publicans is inspired by the man who
wrote the letter to Dear Mr.. Foster"
no one can now have any doubt Of the
truth OF what TIE GAZETTE said
about this nutter during the campaign
Right thinking people will not Do in
clined to joiu in the snccr at Mr.. Fulton
or to laugh at the pitiabe mcrrimcnt
attempted at his expense. He was
simply an honest and straightforward
man dupcd by sinuous politician.
They will be more inclined to condemn
with something Of indignation the fellow
who can play such tricks in politics and
afterwards make his shameless prac.
tees the subject Of boast and joke

The editor Of the Morning Neaoa, who
wrote the little paragraph yesterday
advising President Cleveland 10 scnd II
commissioner to investigate the lynch.

tional law. "President Cleveland would
better send commissioner" is an edi.
torial sentence to make parsing school
boy weep. The idea that to investigate
lynching in Georgia or a murder in
Deluwarc--the case Of Michael Faino
for instance-'comes within the limits
OF the Presidents jurisdiction" is a
legal opinion startling enough to wake
up the drowsiest law student in town.
Since the editor of the State Sentinel
has been attending Mr.. Addicks' .reccp-
tons, he feels himself q society man,
and sets up to teach his brother editors
the latest fashionable capers. Witness
the following remarks which he makes
to the editor OF the Iader who has
missed the opportunity to learn breeding
from ";Senator" Addicks:
Ii is manifest that the editor of the indeg
is stranger to polite, refined society, or It's
amenities. y y We charltubly com.
