Now there's my old friend, Hoffecker.
/ like John. He's a damfine man. But
he has gone over to Addicks and that
Ecttlos him. AS for Willis-well, he
never did cut any figure in my estima-
ton. They have both sealed their po-
litical fate.
Bach-That's the talk. There's moth
ng like letting such men down hard.
Spruance-What l can't understand
is how the Democrats could have the
audacity to endeavor to count out
Finn and Rettew after all we had
done for them. We gave them COVER
nor, congressman, United States
senator, Legislature and Constitu-
tional Convention and then they
turned around and tried to count out
the few men we had elected with Ad-
dicks aid. Such base ingratitude is
unexampled in political annals.
Bach-That's not half as bad as
Cheairs, a Democrat, being counted
out for the benefit of Dickey, Dempsey
and Donaldson. The three big DIS GER
tainly did it for the Red Lion hundred
statesman and he's mad ail ever. But
what good will it do him? He won't
get any nearer to Dover than he is
now, even if he carries his case to the
courts.

Higgins-We know all about it. Tell
/ them we don't want either them or
/ their death-bed rehearsals. The Ad-
dicks party may need a host of doc
| tors, but the regular Republican party
never takes medicine. We don't want
anything to do with them. They have
killed one party and we don't propose
/ to have them experimenting on ours.
! Give our compliments to the gentle
men and tell them that when we get
sick we'll send for them.
Knowles wish you would let my

anything about the others, but ] have
the highest respect for him.
Bach-Nary a Burt!
Bradford-No; DR.. Burton is no
longer a Republican. If we followed
Knowles suggestions we should soon
have more Addicksites than regular
Republicans in our party. Dumpsoni
tell the gentlemen that hereafter they
are unknown in Delaware politics.
Bird-A political party made up OF
doctors and undertakers and ceme-
terry stockholders is bound to end in
death and corruption.
