0ooD morning!

xxON. JohN L. '-tt "a A''>''
Delaware, publishes in the Herald OF
Milford today over his signature, a
libelous publication. Inasmuch as The
Sun has no information beyond that
contained in Mr. Saulsbury's manifesto
and Mr.. salisbury at this time being
irresponsible, the document cannot be
reprinted in these columns. In the
article Mr.. salisbury admits that he did
lend his checks to William \. Boggs.
Mr.. Salisbury does not claim that these
checks SO loaned were good at the time
of issuance. Whether they were down
upon the Farmers Bank of Dover or the
First National Bank Of that city is un-
important.
THE Sun on Monday last charged Mr.
Salisbury with having issued worthless
checks, which checks were used by W..
n. Boggs in iooting the First National
Bank. of Dover. Mr. Salisbury admits
that this charge is we'll founded Mr.
Salisbury denies that he j. now il debtor
to BoggS. TIE >rH asserts upon the
authority Of Mrs. William n Boggs that
this john +. Salisbury owes her hu>-
band SllOO. The word OF this e-tilnao'c
lady will not be questioned by the people
Of Delaware. John +. SauIsbury's mani
festo in the Herald Of Milford proves
every charge made against him by the
Sun.
Mr.. salisbury makes grave charges
against the integrity OF j. Edward Ad-
dicks and other prominent leaders OF
the Union Republican party. ii John
+. Salisbury can prove these charges.
and will prove them. he may well be
forgiven for assisting William \. Boggs
as charged.
THE SIN is not interested in politics or
politicians. TnS >rN will not be drawn
into any political controversy. In the
matter of the First National Bank rob
berry, THE >rN stand, ready and willing
to prove each and every assertion it has
made. By singular coincidence the
five men already named by TIE Sun H.
having directly or indirectly made this
robbery possible. are Democrats. The
owner Ui TIE SIS Wa~ not aware Oi this
fact
II Mr. salisbury will furnish TIE Srv
with such documents and other evidence
he may have tending to prove that Other
men, Republicans or otherwise, also as
sisteed William \. Boggs in lootng
the First National Bank, OF Dover
the owner Of this paper will bend every
energy to prove their guilt Let it be
understood by Mr. Salisbury and every
other man interested that The SrH
recognizes neither creed nor color, poll
tics or ancestry in this matter. \
National Bank has Lccn plundcred.
TIE >rS can and will prove that at
least seven men assisted the abscondng
and dciHuting tclle, in this robbery.

TIE Sun has the documents. Let Mr..
Salisbury give to TIE SIN, or to any
Other newspaper, the days and dates, to
the end that no guilty man shall escape.
Mr.. San sbury takes occasion to abuse
the owner of this paper. When Mr.
SaulsburyS anger has passed away
and some reason has triumphed over

better Of his words and will Join witt.
