Honest Democratic stand vs. tar route aims in Delaware debate
In letters from Wilmington dated June 15, 1883, supporters attack the Republican style tar route faction and defend the Democratic party. They denounce “D. D.” and call for ministers to reject politics in favor of faith and obedience to the law. Local notes mention a Friendship Fire Company meeting and a railroad incident involving a color girl missing her stop, plus estate notices for Wilmington residents.
