A Vile lnsInuatIon.

lican of Georgetown, one of the AddieAs
organs of this State;
Once upon a time New, Castle county
buiita workhoise. Then she tried to
get the Stats to take 10 off het hands
at an increased valuation. When the
plan failed to work and the aforesaid
county found herself with heavy
burden upon her hands, the workhouse
burned. Ii is said that certain OF the
trustees aided in the good work by re-
fusing to allow the firemen to throw
wafer upon certain portions of the
burning building. giving as their OK
cuse that the water might damage the
walls. or courEH no one would think
for moment that the county officials
fired the building but Just at this
time it looks rather suspicious.
No more vile or contemplate in
sinuation was ever printed by news

And it is as false as 1t is vile and con-
| temptible.
New Castle county never tried to
induce the State to take its workbouse
and make it State institution. On
the contrary, all the suggestions
towards this end have come from Kent
and Sussex.
New Castle county is entirely salts
fed with tho workhouse. 1t has proved
an admirable investmnt, from every
point Of view, and no citizen Of the
county whose opinion is worth a
picayune would advocate return tc
the old conditions.
The fire is regarded as calamitous in
that it interfeses with the regular anC
orderly operations Of the workhouse fol

the money loss that may be sustained

state will soon be given to the voters

ment appealing to the populists and in
dependent voters of the state to unite
in the convention on June rs and fight
in solid column for the right, under the

governor on March s, 1901, relating to
the style and form of ballot will be dis
cuSsed. it affording material for the
greater portion of the document, the
committee agreeing that the consttu-
ton which says elections shall be free
and equal, and no power, civil or mill
tary, shall at any time interfere to pre-
vent the free exercise of the right of
suffrage" has been grossly violated by
the republican legislature and governor

thorizing the county auditor to cause

Will Cite Authorities.
Various authorities will be cited by
the committee in substantiation OF
this contention, notably the supreme
court Of California in the Lawyers
Annotated Reports and various noted
writer's, while on other matters the
committee will tell it's late populist al
lies that all governments Instituted
among men derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed;
that the constitution follows the flag:
that half republic and half empire cam
not long endure; that private moEop-
olies are indefensible and intolerable;
that the tariff laws should be amend
ed; trust products placed upon the free
list; that an income tax should be en-
acted: that the national government
should issue and control all the money;
