but unlimited hatred.
Bach-Thank heavens we have the
/ tax office.
Knowles-What good is It going to
do you? The Democrats are going to
do away with the assessment and coli
lection laws of 1873 and not only that,
but they are going to reduce the salary
and commissions of the receiver. SO
that Rettew will not have such a fat
thing of Il after all. You may depend
upon It that a Democratic Legislature
will never entrust to our tender mer-
cies the voting qualifications of their
voters. They are already talking about
a registration fee in lieu of poll tax,
and with the clerk of the peace and
Levy Court and registrars against us
what are we going to do about it? We
shall be much worse off than we are
now
Dumpson-Mistah Stansbury ]. Will

those sample ballots a glass of water,
a match and a warm smile, Dumpson
! We are sorry, but we have no bread
and meat in the house and the fires
! just gone out. Poor fellow He had
such bright prospects at one time It
Is astonishing how some men will go
down the hill with a lot of us fellows
to shove him along.
Higgins-Dont permit your senti-
ment to run away with your sense,
Hugh. Remember what these fellows
did to me two years ago and forget
your pity. Wiley can expect no pity
! from us. He IS one of the men who
snatched the senatorial toga from Inc
and then prevented Colonel Dupont
from wearing il.
Colquhoun-Not only that, Hugh,
but he is the one man who denied that
! you were the only genuine Republican
state chairman in Delaware. Don't
let your bowels of compassion be
moved at such a time and in such
place as this, man.
Browne won't; but after we have
licked a man it looks rather hard to
refuse him a few bites to eat and a
nights lodging.
bradford-You are wasting words.
Warm the viper and it stings you.
Take the fox to your bosom and it
gnaws out your vitals. Wiley can
never again be received into the Re-
publican family on terms of equality.
Addicks helped him-in business and
Wiley put up his political convictions
and conscientious scruples as coliat-
eral security. That's all. We must
remain true to the course of elimina-
] hot hat ont nd of
be led astray by the want-to-win ele-
ment that is dominated by Knowles
and Hollis. Our watchword should be
elimination. When my party begins
making terms with Addicks ! must
leave it, My honor is dearer to me
than the st. Louis platform.
Knowles-How would it do to get
Mckinley to appoint him ambassador
to Morris River Cove?
Bradford-Give him nothing. Elimi-
nation and no compromise is the word
of the day.
Dumpson-M -Mistah Frank Alice, OBJ
Dovah, has called to pay his respeckts.
an sez will yo' pleas tell him wuz he
'lected TO de State Senate?
Bach-Elected Why durn his i'm
pudence, does he question the Kent
county returns? Go back and tell him
that Kent county gave one million ma
jority for Samuel r. Meredith, the
Democratic nominee, and that he
might as well go down to Dover and
settle down to business. Tell him we
are going to have the skeleton of his
friend Addicks. articulated and
mounted and stood on the State
House steps as a warning to political
, adventurers who come into Delaware
to buy it.
Knowles-Don't forget that you are
1 a carpet-bagger yourself, Bach.
3 Bach-That's all right, but 1 haven't
e enough money to be a state buyer
( Dumpson, you tell Alice what / have
already told you to tell him, and also
e. say 60 him that we are going to boil
e Dr. Caleb r. Layton in oil, and tar
s and feather Beniah Watson, If John F.
y Salisbury don't knock his head off be-
= fore Ned Mitchell and / get down
e. there. Tell Alice to take the first train
out OF town and to give the compli-
+ ments of Bach. Billany, Mitchell Hig-
r gins & Co. to the Addicksites of Kent
j. and Sussex. Frank Alice elected !
b What a d. poor mathematician
Alice is. While he was working in ad-
a dition the Democrats were working in
e subtraction. Elected Well, l guess
not. Kick him OF the steps, Dumpson.
He hasn't been a Republican for six
e years. Tell him the whole Democratic
Is ticket was elected in Kent.
e Hastings-Dont you think you are
a little harsh, Bach?
Bach-No. He has the gall of an OK
a the hide of a rhinoceros and the
J. nerve Of a camel. You can't hurt the
feelings of an Addicksite. He hasn't
n any, When the Lord made camels
e and Addicksites He had run clear out
l. of nerves and only had a few coarse
le sensibilities left. They got all He hac
in stock. I'm going down in Kent
'e county next week and break up the
Te Addicks aggregation. Clarke Menscl
le and that other fellow down there dom
xt amount to much.
Of Shortidge-I am certainly glad W,
Id licked Frank Bradley out in the Ninth
is John Lynn and l have him just where
Of we want him and where we propose I,
Id keep him.
)e KnOWleg-But we must Wean thes,
