4 RICHMOND 70 TUE RESCUE.

A leading Democrat of st. George
hun dred and an interesting writer ha
an article in this weeks editorial col
umns of the New Era calling thI
TRANSCRIPT to account for its ex
preston of the opinion that the 55tl
Congress will right the wrong done thl
State of Delaware by the present Con-
gress and that it will seat Col. DUPONT
after the 4th of March next. Tht
writer in the New Era says the pre-,
sent Congress will again take up the
case when an applicant shall go next
February with credentials from the
General Assembly to meet next Janu.
ary and that "man will be either Ad.
dicks or some honest Democrat, "and he
will be seated. If this be true it must
be done by the same vote that refused
Col. dupont admission, the 80 Demo-
Gratis and 6 Populists, and it has the
appearance of deal between Addicks
and these 45 Senators. There are
those who believe that Addicks will be
in the Democratic camp yet. 1t is now
known that previous to the Republic
can victory in this State in 1888, Mr..
Addicks had an interview with Mr..
George Gray, ostensibly on gas busi-
ness, but when he got 10 his point it
was proposition to join Mr.. Gray in
the Senate by taking the Salisbury
seat, Mr.. Addicks to furnish the
money, etc. The proposition did not
suit Senator Gray and Addicks turned
up at Dover as Republican candidate
for the Senate, nos known, as the
'Sentinel' says, to a dozen men in
Kent and Sussex counties.
But let this be as it may, the TRAN
SCRIPT still says that A Republicans
voted that Col. Henry A. DUPONT was
elected to the U. S. Senate for the term
expiring March 4th, 1901, and even
though the Democrats and Populists Of
the present Congress should seat Ad-
dicks or any other man, it would be
wrongfully done in the opinion of
those "A men and presumably in the
opinion Of other new Republican
Senators, and they could oust Mr.. Ad-
dicks and put Col. dupont in his pro-
per place. And it will be done. Col.
DUPONT will be seated.
1t is matter of surprise and regret
that SO intelligent writer as the one
in the Ne,o Era should exultingly ex-
claim, in contemptuous manner "yes,
indeed, Republican Congress can pass
law limiting immigration. A
Democratic Congress didnot." Ger
tainly it is good and necessary law,
let It be passed by any party That 80
Democrats and 6 Populists in the
Senate have outvoted "A Republicans
and prevented the passage of House
bills, is in no way chargeable to the
Party.
Our friend wants to discuss the
doings of Congress. He is one Of the
best informed men in St. Georges hun
1red. Let him tell the people what
the SD Congress did towards redeem
ing the pledges made to the people in
1892. There was a Democratic Presi-
dent, a Democratic ESenate, Demo-
cratic House for two years. What did
hey do? And perhaps the reason why
