SIR: In yesterdays Issue OF the III
tellenge1lcer there appeared ietter PuI-
porting to be an answer OF Alex Duiiu'
ESQ, OF this place to letter from
friend Of his asking Mr.. Dulin 10 Iend
his influence on to Ex-Governor VII
son for the United States Senate. mat
Mr.. ID. received no such letter Is De-
yond question, it is a pure fabrication
being a part OF the "fruits toward re-
pentance" which he is to bring 10 Granu
Chief Elliott and Lieutenant Nade, as
condition of acceptance OF hun as
member Of the Republican party. tor
several days before the appearance OF
this letter, the last two named gentle-
men, with some other would-be leaders
OF the z. o. p. held five general eau
cuses, and experience meetins' as IL
were, at which Mr.. Dulin was present.
It was finally determined that the ef-
fusion which ppeared In the Intetten-
Geucer should be the price
Of his admission therefore, the
mountain labored with the result
aforesaid. Notwithstanding Mr.. ID. Is
not new convert, he having voted the
Republican ticket two years ago; In
fact has always done so, still he was re-
auired 10 get down in the very slnsh
before Elliott and Wade would confer
the grand degree upon him. While we
don't think they have treated Mr.. Du'
lin fairly In requiring him to thus Ia
Dor, he has endured the pain, and Wade
and Elliott are winking at each other.
But Dulin has "hung MS gate on the
other post" and can't help Mr.. wilson,
and declares It to be his purpose of de-
feating both exGov. wilson ana oena'
tor Camden, because these gentlemen
as he intimates, do net have the "aollltY
and backbone" to enforce their conVlc-
lions. He says "he has been deceived
and misled bv the false promises and
siren voice (this latter is a pretty
word) OF the Democracy ever since he
could remember; and has been work
inc for and voting with the
Democrats for nineteen years" Those
who know and are acquainted
with Mr.. Dulin say he "iests aside" In
this declaration, for subsequently he
saws the present Congress can pass no
law, except q sectional or compromise
measure. He iorgets that the Repuoii-
can party is founded upon the very prin-
ciule he intimstes the present Congress
is enforcing He forgets that recently
the obnoxious federal election laws, en-
acted by Republican Congress through
prejudice and 10 q spirit Of retaliation,
have been repealed by a Democratic
Congress. He iorgets, or misconStrues'
the tariff legislation OF the republican
marty. he works himself into the oellef
that that party is not sectional, and ne
Is also ignorant OF the history OF sucn
legislation IL he believes 4 Republican
Congress would even take the laoorers
condition into consideration. To be
Republican and also the poor mans
! friend at the same time is impossible.
| Mr.. Dulln says he is in favor OF the
| money OF the Constitution, to-wit: goid
and silver. He forgets again, or Is
still ignorant, for he ought TO know
the policy of the Republican party has
ALWAYS been to force mono-metalism,
one standard gold money-upon the
| Deople. In all the Congresses since the
war, beginning in 1873, the Republican
| maiorftd has always been against silver,
the Democratic party, has ever been us
friend, as is is shown in the present and
preceding Congresses.
The whole tenor OF the letter printed
the e ia8tafssssa9Se4fr. u SSo Sst Ny pu&
Republican party in Congress. He
talks about controlling the price OF
commodities. about patriotism, our Gag,
! the trusts and combinations. Whoever
heard of the Republican party opposing
trusts and monopolieS, OF being in favor
/ OF any Law or meaaure that would break
down the combinations which control
prices. Mr.. Dulin never heard anything
of the kind unless Chief Elliott whlS-
pered it 10 him.
He says the present ADM abstraction Is
an "eye opener" Don't be know that
all the laws governing ecomtc questions
were enacted by the Republican party?
| II is wonder be did not charge the
| Democratic party with responsibility OF
! the strikes all over the country because
Of some law passed by the present Con-
gresS.
But no, he is but babe In the Re-

cept through glass darkly.
The truth is the Democratic majority
IN Congress is not responsible for sim

this country. On the other hand as

] part and parcel is responsible for the

Mckinley law, so overwhelmingly con-

pleased) but the masses are not so
easily Rulled; for they cannot hope that
| the Republican party, II in power,
would do other than as before.
Ii is but sheer nonsence aud an eXhi-

ent administration with the financial
distress now prevailing. An intelligent
| observer can not but note that the pree-
ent Congress is on the right line, aad In
| the usual course OF events will correct
the iniquities OF more than quarter Of
century. Great questions are not
solved IN a minute. The present ad-
ministration has nearly three years yet
TO bring about the reforms the people so
much nesd. In due time, the distress
FOR which no intelligent person would
say the Democratic party is responsible
will have passed away, and every
American heart will rejoice, and the
flag OF our commerce will be ssluted on
! every sea, and commerce will be stimu-
lated by healthy impulse. At which
time Mr.. Dulin may see the error OF his
