Ml-s Mary C. Darby, Wilmington's postmaster, this afternoon gave out for publica tion a letter which Ex-Governor Russell sent to her December 10th, 1903: in answer to the challenge rnade by him to Mr. Thos. J. Pence, the Morning Post's correspondent in Washington, and published in last Sundays paper. Following is a copy of the Ex-Governor's letter, which is still in the possession of Miss Darby: "Miss Mary; I will go to Wash ington Thursday night. Robinson will go with me. Please send me $100, and send by Mrs. Sawyer. "Truly, "D. L. Russell." The above was in Ex-Governor Russell's handwriting. He sent it by his niece, Mrs. Sawyer, and the money asked for was sent to him. That night he left for Washington in the interest of Miss Darby's re appointment. From that day to this he has not communicated with her either by word or letter. All the inft rm ition she has gotten has been thK.ugh the newspapers. His visit to Washington now appears to have been not in the interest of Miss Darby but in the interest of Mrs. Russell. One thing is positive. He received one hundred dollars from Mi s Darby December 10th and an other $100 last August, when he went on to look after the case. These are the facts in the case and Miss Darby has the positive proof of them. The former governor's chal lenge is now answered. Interest in the Wilmington post office fight continues at white heat.
