Five thousand people are subsisting

Of Delaware have prayed for a ms.
capable of leading them to victory
over their powerful political oppo
nents. They have assaulted the
Democratic party under all of their
old leaders and suffered defeat-aye,
complete rout. Now in answer TO
their prayer for deliverer, there
arose in 1892 after a complete dis
comfture of the party under the lead
ership OF Senator Higgins.J Edward
Addicks-a successful business man
who has made Delaware his home
for fifteen years. He enabled them
to throw off the throttling methods
used by the Democratic party to
keep Republicans in a minority. and
aided them to gain as fair victory
as any achieved at the polls in Della.

this and encouraged the efforts for
success, and now to attempt to steal
the honor from the one who is fairly
entitled to it is bose iLgratitude.

Sussex county stood solid for her
choice for speaker, while the lone
man from Kent cast in his fortunes
with the New Castle delegation. The
Higgins crowd covered their disap-
pOintment with manifest effort while
the Addicks people were amazed that
Mr.. Fleming should help the New
Castle people organize the House.
To outsiders. it looks as if George
V. Massey took one man and ef-
fected the organization-with the
aid Of the terror-struck Higgins peo
ple-whO knew their hopes outside
of this one channel were gone. Mr..
Massey is quoted by his friends as
saying, he is not in the Senatorial
field, but only desired to have
speaker friendly to him which would |

ADJOURNED UNTIL NEXT MONDAY

The meeting of the csucusses of the House

purpose Of selecting candidates for the legis-
lstive Offices, drew a great crowd ofpoliticisns
to the state capital on Monday.
The visitors began to arrive early Little

Office seeker or his friends, were to be seen
at almost any hour aud from almost any
place on the streets.
This meeting of the General Assembly,
and Of the crowd differed from that of for
mer years, in that the politicians represent
ed both the great parties Of the State. Six
years ago, when the Republicans controlled
the House and the Democrats the Senate,
the scene on caucus day was much the same.
The various groups into which the mem.
bers and their political frieuds divided on
arrival here were naturally those ofthe Sen.
atorial campaign. There we're, however.
some outlying groups representing county
interests which were dependent upon the re-
suits of the speakership contests. The
leaders Of the two main divisions of the
House members proved to be H. H. Nc

A. 7. THOMAS, the ex-postmasteI
of Milford, took a half column o
space in the Ne,gs and advertise,
last week to repay his debt of graft
tude to Senator Higgins, but it was
rather an unkind endorsement after
all, for he closed by sticking a pin
in his Higgins balloon as follows
"Ifit becomes evident that his
election will create dissatisfaction so
as to hurt the party in the future,
then it may be wisdom to drop both
men and take a third man-Mr. Mas
sey, Mr. Pennewill or some other
good mah."
That is the kind of Support SEN
