The Wilmington Sun to-day says:
Since Fred Eden Bach has so uncere-
moniously presented himself before the
people Of Delaware in a political light
through the popular method Of letter
writing, that. gentleman bias been very
much discussed by the politicians in and
out Of the city. He refuses to keep in
the back ground and rest, on the rewards
received for ''ione and faithful" service
in the ranks OIL the Republican party,
Bach denies certain charges CONCERNING
deals with which he was connected at
Dover last winter, Mr., Bach has re-
piled from far OF Havana and his reply
10 now the subject Of much comment il
political circles.
Anent Bach and deals there was one
which be entered shat ii vouched for by
no less o person than Mr.. j. Edward Ad-
dicks. In conversation with repre-
sentative OF THE Sun yesterday, Mr.. Ad-
dicks stated that Bach was paid 5000
last January 70 60. 10 Dover in an at
tempt 70 elect Mr.. Addicks to the United
States Senate.
II has been reported for some time
that Bach received 5000 to act as an
attorney in the fight to elect Mr. Ad-
dicks Senator, but up to this time the
report has remained nnverified except az
told by Mr.. Addicks to certain per.
sons.
Mr.. Addicks said the report is true,
He further stated that he had told Dis
trict Attorney William NJ. Byrne that
Bach was given 81, 900 to assist in elect
ing Mr.. Addioks Senator.
This revelation will make IL all the
harder for political guessers to determine
just where Fred Eden Bach stands in
Delaware politics. His friend" ex-
Senator Anthony Higgins has all along
counted Bach's nose when making IN
list OF his supporters, and it was even
reported that Bach had backed up into
line with Postmaster Browne and The du
Pont crowd. Now that it is known that
Bach received 81, 600 from Mr., Addicks
to 60 to Dover during the last LegisIa.
ture to assist in electing Mr.. Addicks
Senator, It may be hard to say to what
faction Of the Republican party Bach be-
longs.
Kenney Favors Quay.
A prominent Democratic politician
yesterday said that Senator Kenney
would probably vote to seat Matthew
y. Quay az Senator from Pennsylyania,
He continued to say that Senator Kenney
would vote for Quay if it looked as
though the Pennsylvania statesman
would win, in order to open the way for
an appointment by Governor Tunnel
from this State. In fact it is stated that
Mr.. Quay expects Kenney's support for
those very reasons.
Speaking Of a probable appointment Of
a Senator by Governor Tunnel, a we'll
known Republican politician said last
night that he understood from good
authority that Judge George Gray would
be pleased to receive the appointment.
He had every reason to Believe that
Judge Gray would accept.
The politician thought such an an.
pointment would be wise one. "Then,"
he continued, "if it becomes necessary
next year for the Republicans to COM
bine with the Democrats in the election
Of two. Senators, Judge Gray will of
course be candidate, and a combine
ion with the better element Of the
Democratic party looking to the election
If Judge Gray and Mr.. Addicks would
% highly commemorate and undoubted-
y successful"
