WARNS MARK AeAIEsTMB. WILEY

Reports From Some of the Republican
strongholds Are Encouraging Bat There |

"MABK A. HANNA. Republican Head
quarters, New York City.
my DEAR MARK: Things are in a
terrible state down here In Delaware. but
don't let on. We are between the Dem
ocrats ard Addicke, which is equivalent
TO being between the devil and the deep
blue sea- OF course, what I say to you
is strictly confidential and you will obliKe
me by burning this letter as soon as you
get It.
"When you are figuring out the result
for your own private information, you
had better put Delaware down In the
Democratic column and keep It there, for
the sound money men among the Demo-
Gratis will not be strong enough to Offset
tho Republican split caused by the
goahesditiveness OF Addicks In gettlng
/ the bulge on us IN the matter of naming
presidential electors On the state ticket
there Is really no difference OF opinion
smong Democrats They are all for It
but the Every Evening. and its not a
Democrat We are busy organizing anti.
Tunnel clubs on paper, but making no
material headwsy.
IF there is to be any compromise on
the electoral branch OF the ticket we
want 1t all our own way, and ia addition
to that we shall demand an affidavit
from Mckinley that he recognizes us as
the only real, simon pure Republican
party, and that all dispensations of Fed
eral patronage shall, In the remote con
tingency of his election, be made through
us.
"Ex- Mayor StAnsbury j. Wiley, who
styles himself chairman Of the Republl-
can State Central Committee, will be
over to see you In few days. Beware
of him for ne is a bogus State chsirman.
/ am the only real Republican State
lchairman In Delaware, aud enclose you
my trade mark. Use Wiley for sll he Is
worth Play the she'll game on him II
you want to; or three-card monte, or
the gold brick racket-sny old thing Of
that kind will suit me Promise him
anything he asks and we'll do the rest
sitter the election is over. 1t isn't any
sin to lie to an Addicks man. He's used
80 being lied to, Let our motto be, Any
J thing to get the Presidential electors
: III be asks for any campaign literature
just refer him to me. I'll give him i've
or six documents for his own private

'In case any man should call on yor
and say that Delaware is going Rspubli.
: can this Fall, give him good stiff drinh
Of whiskey, promise him a place In th'
cabinet and send him down to us by first
train for We need him.
