MARES. He spoke of the size of the dele
CATION which cuLe down to favor the cleo
ton of Mr.. Addicks to the Senate, and said
il disprnved the statements that there were
no Addicks men in New Castle county.
Continuing, Mr.. Whiteman said "ln Mill
Creek, which was the banner hundred at
the last election, the sentiment is i'll favor
of the election OF Mr.. Addcks, and the
men who are here to-day are prepared to
stand on that basis. We realize the fatali-
ties of mistakes and know that the future
of the Republican party hinges to great
extent on the election of a United States
Senator. In the hour of political turmoil,
when there was danger of the Republican
party being relegated to the rear, there
was man who came to its rescue, re-
united the forces and led them on to VIC
tory; SO that to-day, instead of standing
under the weeping willow OF defeat, we
are basking III the sunshine of success
amid the bowers Of victory.
"fhe masses favor the election of Mr..
AddiGkS, and If it were put to Il vote in
Mill Creek hundred there would be n ma
| jority in favor of j, Edward Addicks.
believe that under these circumstances the
| exigencies OF the times demand the cleo
tion OF Mr.. Addicks to the Senate"
