Sussex county has broken loose. With
piece OF coarse yellow paper and a
stub pencil it has come to the defense
Of Addicks and Layton. For several
weeks we have been gazing apprehen-
sively in the direction Of the land OF
Layton expecting we knew not what,
and 1t has come. Here It Is:

We wonder who wrote Il? II has all
the violence OF expression Of DR.. Caleb
r. Layton, editor of the Georgetown
Union Republican and the Addicks
Lieutenant in Sussex county, but It is
not written in exactly his style For
instance, he wouldn't have spelled
paper with two p's. Ncwall Ball also
may be gulltloss, for we do not believe
that he would spell Regulars "Rege-
lors." State Senator Simeon Pennewin
knows that "Legon" is not the way TO
spell LEGION" and State Senator Bra

In some remote corner OF the Ad-
dicks press bureau there must sit a
modest man of deep emotion and dense
/ ignorance who feels called upon to con-
tribute his little mite towards the vim
dication OF Addicks and Layton. In
these days OF common schools he shows
what advantage he has taken of the op-
portunities offered him. We do mo-
know who he is. but II he will give his
name we believe we can prove that h,
is on the list OF purchasables IN
his hundred; that he Is an intellectual
and physical loafer, and that he is &
standing reproach to his family ant
neighbors. lie is a fair sample OF tn,
