e Rumor Of Salisbury Addieks Deal.
A man who came from Smyrna this
morning brought the story that WIZ
lard Salisbury had tried 10 make a deal
with Addicks through Speaker AN.
thony, Of the House. ThisScould moi
be verified, but 1t was told tx one 0
Saulsbuy's former lieutenants.
: Salisbury Unpopular.
d In Kent and Sussex counties it w0HlIl
q be hard 10 find a more unpopular man
+ than Willard Salisbury Things that
y are not allowed in polite society are be-
ing said about Peter j. Ford. as well.
But Mr.. Salisbury is known better.
and he is getting q cyclone of crili-
cism. One man from Sussex county
said this morning that If there was
an election in Sussex county tomorrow
II morning a Salisbury man could not bc
n elected in any district. A Dover man
said that It was not believed the DonQ
Gratis would put mp a man to run
n AGAINST the Republican selected to con-
test for the seat in the State Senate
made vacant by the election Of Alice
to the United States Senate. Tho Demo-
Gratis there are disheartened. and ara
doubling the advisability Of maintain
r ing their organization.

Monday.
The paper was drawn by Ford and
p Salisbury, and the latter carried 1t to
10 the Democrats. In addressing the
"a seven men who had heretofore refused
al to sign the paper, he said they could
go sign it if they desired, but pointed OUT
