Addicks and his cOnfederates must be
promptly destroyed, in order that the Re-
: publican party may command the conf
dence and respect of the people and be sue
, cessful in the future.
g. That the disloyal and corrupt political
/ policy known as Addicksism is in direc
and deadly antagonism with the principles
of the Republican party, and there can HI
i no compromise between the two; the choic'
Y being simply between Republicanism OF
the one hand, and, on the other, Addicks
ism.

committees of the Republican party, con
tanning present confederates of the sait
