Republioan Unfairly Nominated.

the Seventh ward, whose headquarters
are ON Union street near Seventeenth,
held Il meeting Friday night ostensibly
to celebrate its first anniversary but
really to receive portrait of j. Edward
Addicks. The picture, tinely-exe-
cuted bust crayon, neatly framed, and
two boxes of cigars gifts from the
Senatorial aspirant, we're taken to the
club house few minutes before 8
O'Clock by couple of colored men.
Tho club house, whose gas supply
had been cut off during the day be-
cause of the non payment of gas bill,
was Illuminated by both gas and oil
and the walls and gas fixtures were
adorned with flags and bunting.
About $50 persons were present and
tho building was uneomfortably
crowded. The gathering was composed
of Republicans from all parts of the
city. Enthusiasm was frequently dis
played.
Mr. Addicks did not arrive until
1926 O'Clock. He was fauItlessly at
tired in black Prince Albert suit and
accompanied by George W. Roberts and
William L. Clerk The meeting was
opened Immediately after his arrival by
Il. Frank Lytle, the vice president,
who introduced him and invited the,
assemblage to come forward and snake
hands with him. Less than half the
crowd accepted the invitation. A man

AT the conclusion OF the handshak-

scented. Iho presentation speech was
made by Mr.. Roberts. Ho was intro

dent, as staunch Republican, and IN
response to the Introduction said he

another staunch Republican.
This knowledge of tho politics,
gained by more or less active partici-
patton in every campaign Of the Re
publican party in this State led him to
tho conclusion that the party had ar
rived at crisis in its history-a point
at which the choosing of the direction
Of party movement is equivalent to a
choice between success and disaster.
The clements of danger or safety are
, all within the realm OF State politics.
Tho indication of political movement
, in the country at large are all favorable
/ to the Republican party. The people
! who were lured away from it three
years ago because of their Ignorance OF
the effect Of Democratic control over
tho business of the country are coming
back. The indications are that the
, country is on the verge OF a political
, revolution, in favor of the Republican
policy, as great as that in which Mr..
! Cleveland was elected President.
The result of that election in Della

memory of everyone present In almost

ing of Of the Republican vote was
larger than ever before in its history.
In Delaware the vote increased and the
. State was very nearly won. Never be

! full and never before was defeat Sc
, bitter. The strength of the party il
, that campaign was owing to the fac
that Mr.. Addicks became actively in
, terested in it, The great increase o
the Republican vote was due to hi
leadership.
Although defeated in that camnaip,
