The Milford Chronicle made the charge

because Addicks endorsed the other ticket
had, when on tho ticket for Representa-
tive to tho Delaware Legislature, used
$1,000 of Addicks' money for election pur-
poses.

what Mr.. Houston would say in the Sus-
sex Republican on Saturday, in defence OF
the position, which, according to another
paper, is very much akin to what tho law.

Houston IN holo. The use of money has
been the method for years, tho difference
between Mr.. Addicks and his Democratic

pocket was the deepest.
That WAS all the differences, except thai

was more powerful and corrupt than oil
