oes,inred from FIr.t Pess.

Blackwell, 1 suppose that VIII nave
to go, seeing that Mr.. Blaine, the only
witness for the defence, Is dead. But
then Blaine always was iatterer.
Knowles--You can't queer me with
this administration. My past record is
clean. i never held two government
jobs at once as you did. l suppose that
this time you will want three or four.
Why not try for Mr.. Bayard's place at
the Court of St. James?
Higgins-Simply because he can't
get it. Mr.. Mckinley is going to keep
Mr. Bayard right where he is as a rec
ognition of his services in contributing
to the defeat of Bryan. Mr.. Bayard is
as good Republican as any of us now.
From this time out you won't hear any
of our people condemning him for maxi
ing speeches. He's all right; he's a
bully boy for sound money and the
Court of st. James will know him for
at least four years longer.
mpson-Mistah Walter II. Hayes
is down heah on de pavement an he
sez pleas may be cum in.
Browne-Tell him 10 come around
next week. The IDEA Of that man pre-
suming to come up here. l should
think he would know better.
Bradford-He is no longer a Republi-
can. No man who has ever followed
this man Addicks can ever again call
himself Republican with my consent.
What made him go over to Addicks?
Bach-He wanted TO be city solicitor
and ran against George A. Elliott at
the primaries. We didn't want him
and so we counted him out. / don't see
why he should let a little thing like
that alter his factional relations. When
we counted out Bill Finn and counted
in Paul Gillis il didn't make Bill leave
the party. He just waited until next
time and then we let him have the
nomination.
Wilson-Addicks made an excellent
run down in Kent county. Our esti-
mate on the regular Republican vote
fell short .nere.
Mitchell-Yes, but we only counted
on $50 in Sussex, and we got 1000. The
boys did good work down there. / am
certainly glad that the Kent county
Democrats took the step they did, es-
pecially as it defeated ]. Frank Alice.
II there was ever a man who deserved
defeat IL was Alice. Everything
turned out just as ! hoped Now we
are all right for two years hence
Bach-Here is little piece Of poetry
! composed on the situation:
We beat them down in Sussex,
We beat him down in Kent,
We beat him in New Castle
Now his office is for rent.
Celquhoun-That's good.
Bach-Yes; il just come to me.
didn't have to study il up a bit. On oc-
casions like this the muses. Just seem
to nurse my latent genius and poetry
flows from my tongues end.
Dumpson-Gemmen, dey's a deIega-
tion oh young white ladies oh quality
down heah who sez kin dey see dat
Republican machine dat dey sees SO
much about in de papers.
Colquhoun-Yes, show them up and
I'll
Browne-Dont tell him anything
like that, win. We're all married
men. Dumpson, tell them that iti
covered up and the lights are out. Jus
say to them that it won't be running
any more until next June.
Churchman-Do you really thinl
that Addicks is out Of Delaware poll.
tics now?
Bradford-Of course he is. He sees
that the people of Delaware will not
have him. When the people OF KEN
~OuAAAN SLY " nlils lOu IAM UuN al
the votes you want to down here, bu
we won't count one of them" h,
knows he might just as well stop buy
ing. Those people down there arr
determined to put a stop to it, an,
i glory in their spunk. Some of thu
Addicks people are now goinl
around and talking about shed
ding blood, but when you find
briber you find coward, and ther
won't be any war in Kent. Next tim
you will see the Democrats of SUISSE
county applying the same remedy
Men who sell their votes are not en-
titled TO any consideration at tn
hands of decent men, and their vote
should not be counted. That was VIII

ton. the Little, of st. Georges hun
dred.
Higgins-That man is a moral dc
generate. The idea Of any self-respeci
ing man endeavoring to bribe a Demo
cratic voters assistant. IL is shame
full.
Dumpson-Mistah Higgins, dar's
man in de lowah hallway who SEE h
wants to see you.
Higgins-Who is he?
Dumpson-Hes dressed all up lib
Buffalo Bill, has two boss pistils In HI
belt an sez his name is Bloody Ih
Wootten, de terror oh Nevada.
Higgins-Ike Wootten?
Bach-Yes, Ike Wootten. He use
to live down at Laurel and was al
pointed Indian agent.
Higgins-Never heard of him. TIE
him / am not in town. The nan
sounds familiar, but 1 can't place !
What in the world do you suppose I
wants with me?
Browne don't know. I believ
that we have Addicks just where v
want him. Our bolt at Dover did Il
business for him, and before the ne
election we shall have nearly all
his voters away from him. How wou
il do for us to go down to Dover tn
Winter and advocate the revocation
all Of his charters? We can do it, az
