attacked Senators DUPONT and Richardson blind"
men who had done nothing for the people but had
served special privilege He made a further mistake
when he linked their with that of the Penn

the fact that one Of his warmest and best friends
and advocates in Kent county is James II. Hughes,
former Democratic Secretary Of State who is counsel
20 the Pennsylvania railroad We also wonder " Mr..
Wilson knew that he had with him on the platform
the Opera House in this city the Hon John Biggs,
a former Democratic Auorney-General who is chief
counsel to the Pennsylvania railroad in this county
Evidently Governor Wilson had been loaded ny

boss here. who desired only the Democratic
candidate for President in effort to point
AGAINST our two able and respectable United States
Senator's but also 10 pour broadside into Mr. Hughes
lifelong political enemy of the saulsburys, and Mr..
Biggs whose name has been mentioned repeatedly
in connection with the seat in the United States

Those who loaded" Governor Wilson State and
city Affairs were very careful however, not to ask
him TO refer 10 the many wrongs the women and
children of the city Of Wilmington suffered from the
legislative and departmental activities of Salisbury
the days when the Democratic machine boss in this
city was official Of and chief counsel to the VIII
