But IL is useless to protract words upon
the subject. Mr.. Boggs paid out OF tho
First National Bank money for politics

the campaign of 1894
For weeks no had men hired distributing
campaign literature. MIR. Addicks who
was to furnish the money, never gave any
money at the last election until Saturday
to that election, BECAUSE he could not raise
it. Boggs was stuck. He specialized to
save himself and the bank. He lost. -
THE SUNS REPLY.
In replying to the article the Sun says:
In an article Mr.. Salisbury admits that
he did lend his checks to William N.
Bogg.. Mr.. Salisbury does not claim
that these checks so loaned were good at
the time of issuance. Whether they were
drawn upon the Farmers Bank Of Dover
or the First National Bank of that city Is
unimpOrtant.
The Sun ON Monday last charged Mfr.
Salisbury with hauling issued worthless
checks. which checks were used by w. N.
Boggs In lootng the First National Bank,
charge Is we'll founded. Mr.. John Il.
Salisbury denies that he Is now debtor
to Boggs. The sun asserts upon the aus
.hority of Mrs. William N. Boggs that
this John +, salisbury owes her husband
81 100. Tho word Of this estimable lady
viii! not be questioned by the people Of
Delaware, John 3, Saulsbury's mani
festo in the Herald of Milford proves every
charge against him by the Sun
Mr.. Salisbury makes grave charges
against the Integrity Of j. Edward Addioksl
and other prominent leaders OF the Union
Republican party. If John +. SausburN
can prove shese charges, and will prove
them, he may well be forgiven for assist
Ing William N. Boygs as charged.
The Sun Is not Interested In politics or
politicians. The Sun will not be drawa
into any political controversy. In the
matter Of the First National Bank rob-
berry, The Sun stands ready and willing to
prove each and every assertion 1t has made
BY single coincidence the five men
directly or indirectly made this robbery,
possible, are Democrats. The owner Of
The Sun was not aware of this fact,
II Mr.. Salisbury will furnish the Sun
with such documents and Other evidences
he may have, tending to prove that other
men, Republicans or otherwi>e, also as.
sisted William N. Boggs In looting the
First National Bank, Of Dover, the owner
of this paper will bond every energy to
prove their guilt. Let it be unders ODD by
Mr. Salisbury and every othor man inter.
es;ed that the Sun recognizes neither creed
nor color politics or ancestry In this mat
ter. A Nationa! Bank has been p!nndcr-
ed.
Tho Sun can and will prove that at
least seven mer assisted the abscondng
and dofaul:ing teller in his robbery.
The sun has made no vague statements
nor has it based its charges upon tlimsy
evidence
Tho Sun has he documents. Let Mr..
Salisbury give to tho Sun, or to any

Mr. Salisbury takes tho occasion to
abuse the owner Of this paper. When Mr..
Saulsbury's anger has passed away and
sore reason has trumphed over stiinu.
lnnts Mr.. Salisbury will think better Of
it and will join with the sun in its Of
forts to bring to punishment tho men
who assisted William N. Boggs in plumb
