Letters From the People.
Bethel, Del, February II, 1898.

EDITOR OE THE Sun 3t
Sir Il have seen several copies Of
your paper and ! think from what
have seen Of it, it is more of paper for
the people than any other in the State.
1t is independent news to the line, and
let the chips fall where they hit, and is
not hampered by railroad domination, as
the other papers are. The people like
this in paper, for while they are not
against railroads they are against the
road that is against the people, as the
Delaware Railroad is; but Of this matter
we will write another day. In ouly
want to expose this morning politics."
as some so-called Republicans are play
ing it, and show as we'll how Colonel
DUPONT is being pulled as Addicks was
pulled by the same brain in the last
campaign. Massey pulled Addicks by
his agents, in inducing such friends Of
his to play Addicks that they might be
put on the Addicks ticket for Governor,
State Senator and Representatives, as
well as Presidential election,
in some cases, and if elected
be Massey, pure and simple.
Addick took the bait held out to him
as tone to his party. Wonder now if
Mr.. Addicks does not think that the
tone needs tonic? Thanks be to those
who could translate the writing made
by Massey's hand, and suppore that
Addicks feels like giving thanks too,
now that he sees that the votes he
thought were surely his. If elected would
go to Massey for U. $. Senator. So
much for the past, now let us look at
the future just little. massey thinks
Addicks is still blinded and that the
friends he has placed in the party to
give it tone and strength is still anchored
with him for the coming fight, SO he is
turning his attention to Col. dupont.
He takes before the Colonel the tone and
strength (?) Of the Republican party and
say: Colonel here are the mighty hosts
Of the party and you will strengthen
yourself by listening to them in all YOU"
appointments. At Lewes yon should
listen to q. II. Hall and Fisher Pierce
of Milford and few at Georgetown in
Guiding my newly made fIiend Bob
Houston who have shut off from tell
ing the people about the discrimination
Of freight rates. At Milford you will OF
course listen to Pierce and hall, and at
Bethel you want to listen to J. NJ.
C. Moon, while he has never been
true to anything in life but
me, and that truenus YOU said
cxempliticd when took him from the
proper to defeat Higgins and after
could not be e.ected turned him over
to yon. lie can do you much good if
you will turn your back on W. +. Cordy
and appoint whom Moon says, and by
doing this big thing will take place.
}. NJ. c. Moon will help William T.
Moon defeat the confirmation of Roman
Tammany when that appointment comes
before the Senate. This will hunt the
Democrats. Then for this. William r.
Moon will help J. NJ. C. defeat any
partisan legitation the Democrats may
want to pass which would affect you or
the city of Wilmington, except a change
in the Sussex Levy Court when my
proposition would be put in place Of the
Addicks people. Bob says commission
for economy" that means three Massey
and two Democrats. Cordy vas turned
down and the appointment of Maull
at Lewes is being held in the balance
till Col. DUPONT has time to act on Nor
hIdll 'hStt. III lIlt IieallttiHc poOf SeIft.
tor llanly dies and the democrats will
elect a man who will spoil the game of
the two Moors IN holding in check the
Senate in the work they may want to do.
This is only the beginning OF J. NJ. {.
Moon failure in politics for the people
Know him politically as were as other
wise and Col DUPONT will See his mistake
in listening to him when the time comes
to do the work expected of him The
moves Of Massey is making friends for
Addicks that he otherwise could not get
and the people will see that Massey
looses the Senalorshipii il the Republicans
should win and his Democratic son-in-
law Briggs will loose it if the Democrats
Sh"Gld happen to be successful at the
next election
