MIR. Whiteman can write know it be-
cause have received a typewriter
letter from him. He writes Mill Creek
hundred. It's a little difficult TO un-
derstand. but a man with patience can
dociDher it, It's a cross between the
cunifofm letters on Cleopatra's Needle
and the Ben Pitman system Of short
hand
WHEY accept Mr. Kittinger's
statement and beg the pardon Of the
statesman who was driven out of Mill
Creek hundred by Dr. Ball and Phil.
Garrett.
Whiteman-Th another lie, and if
you don't exercise mere circumspection
in making your statements, I'll smash
you in the mouth and give your d--d
old dental factory job OF making you
a double set of front teeth Since you
were made chairman of that committee
you think that every time you put your
foot down you make a hole in the |
ground, but / haven't yet heard Of any /
one breaking his neck by falling into
the indentations ! was an Addicks
man when you were cheek and jowl
with Anthony Higgins and Fred Bach, |
and by the sunshade of the immortal
ex-Marshal Mahaffy I'll be burned if
amt tired of this foolishness.
Addicks-Wili the gentlemen please
step into the adjoining room and settle
their differences according to the code
Colonel Marshall, what do you hear
about the attitude of George Fisher
Pierce?
Marshall-You see, he's Massey
man. But | understand that he has
made q sight draft for GOO men down
| in Cedar Neck He's made up a lot of
petrified phosphate cannon-balls but
whether they are for MS or the other
fellows, / can't say. He's an uncertain
quantity. I'm doing my best to con-
vince him that a revolution and rump
Legislature are the proper things, but he
has more sense than sentiment and /
have an idea that he will stick to the
sure thing he has in the regular State
Senate. / understand that John M. c.
Moore, who is another Massey man, is
arming his schooners down at Bethel.
Some think he has designs againsCthe
oyster beds of VIII Ross and Colonel
Stevens, but / have an idea that he is
going to sail up Jones creek, lombard
; the State House and then blockade
: Wilmington. New Castle Delaware
p City. Port Penn, Odessa, Smyrna
l.eipsic, Milford and Lewes. Some say
that he's to do it for us, but it is my
, private opinion that it is a Massey
scheme to block all navigation ant
force everything TO be carried over the
p Delaware railroad, which is feeder tC
] the Pennsylvania. ! don't think it,
e. right for Clate Moore TO be using ou
{ public revolution TO foster privat
enterprise.
G Addicks- Charlie order 1000 torpe

in the Delaware river and bay. Clat
8 Moore means mischief. Tell the clerl
n of our rump Senate not to put hin
O down on the roll book. Now we hay
placed everybody but Alrichs. Doe
e anybody know anything about him?
WQOlley-I understand that a lot c
le Horace c. Rettew's tax Office friends
most especially Harry Billany who e2
T. poets to be Rettew's deputy are urgin
D. him to become q member of the rum
W Senate. These men are afraid
Democratic legislation. They are NJ
e. friends of ours-never have been an
never will be. They are merely ei
C. deavoring to use us. l understand thi
H. Bach had talk with Alrichs ar
so urged him to follow the Addicks lea
+; and that Alrichs cooked his weath
IN eve and said Bach, / have conscie
he tious scruples against becoming par
re to any Of Addicks' blasted rascalit
re The present Senate, with Bob Hanl
lg out of it, is good enough for me. If "
ad fellows think you can pull my leg "
he have mistaken the old man.
10 Addicks-The old reprobate. Cha

ed start four stores in opposition to Sa
lat Alrichs. I'll pull him down financial
