LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

SIR: ! clip the following from the
special correspondence of the EVENING
JOURNAL from Dover of January a.
ut is asserted with much confidence
by those who vouch for the statements
ere presented that Watson was
the leaders feared he would be elected
is borne out by the surprising
action Of the Republican sena-
ators in not nominating one of their
number for the honor, empty though it
was. II Is generally believed here that
Senators Watson and Pierce, who live in
the same town although in different
countless had an understanding whic b
would have elected the former although
the other Democrats had selected
another man
II would have been more interesting
reading IL your correspondent had given
the names of the would be leaders who
are anxious to conceal their identity, ond
at the same time, make cowardly
attack upon Senator Wstson-trying
by inuendo and false statement
TO create the Impression that he WAS
guilty Of combining with Republican
members to elect himself speaker In case
he should fail Of sufficient votes from his
party. Whether these inAinuations pro-
eeed from chagrin at their inability to
defeat him, or from an evil disposition,
they are alike base and despicable,
and only tend to stir up strife and
factionallsm in the party.
Everyone who knows Speaker Watson
knows that he would not consider a
proposition NJ the kind for moment.
Mr. Watson was the natural candidate
for the petition IL was the turn in rota.
tion for Kent county TO have the speaker
ship. Watson was the holding over
senator from the only county which
elected the Democratic ticket. and he
was entitled to the honor. 1t would
have been better politics, and
have better served the interests
OF the party, if the speakersh!p
had been conceded to Watson
without the unsesmly methods and In
4 uences well-known to Watson and his
friends, which were used to defeat him.
1t is an open secret that q Republican
senator was offered Democratic assistance
to elect him, by certain opponents of Mr.
Watson, II he would consent, but TO his
honor, he declined the offer.

The EVENING JoURN AL has no desire
to do Speaker Watson an injustice We
believe Lin to be too honorable to com

walton to the speskership. But
n isler Mr.. Watson or any
other Democrat could prevent
Republ lcan from voting for him II he SO
desired. Speaker Watson will serve his
