ADDICKS INFLUENCE FELT.
ONLY REGULAR REPUBLICAN LEGlS-
LATORS IN KENT COUNTY.

MOST OF ADDICKS' NOMINATIONS
RATIFIED BY THE REGULARS,
AND THE ADDICKsITEs WILL
WORK ON THE FEW NOMINEES
SELECTED.
DOVER, Del, Oct. $50 completely
has j. Edward Addicks dominated the
Republican politics of Kent county that
the regular Republicans, when they
held their county convention here yes
terday, were unable to get the full COM
plement OF sixty delegates. Only forty
eight answered to call, and of this num-
Der some questioned the propriety of
nominating a full county ticket. Ad-
dicks influences were at work on one
hand to keep them from making any
nominations at all; on the other hand,
Democratic politicians sought to in
duce them to nominate a full county
ticket. The result was a drawn battle
between the opposing influences, only
a distinctly Higgins legislative ticket
being placed in the field.
The convention met in the Levy
Court room at II o'clock, with John w.
Casson, of Dover, chairman, and Henry
l.. Hynson, of Milford, secretary. Rob
ert G.. Houston, OF Georgetown, the
Higgins Republican nominee for Con-
gress, was present as an invited guest,
and made a stirring speech, his theme
OF Mckinley and Hobart creating much
enthusiastic applause.
A motion to nominate a legislative
ticket prevailed, and the following
nominations were made, all by accla-
nation:
State senator-John Heitschu, Of
Dover.
Representatives-Jam r. Mason, OF
kenton hundred; Harry Raymond, Lit
tie Greek; r. X. Moore, West Dover;
Wilson Slaymaker, North Murderkill;
DR.. p. M. Money, South Murderkill;
w. T. Moore, Mispillion; w. II. Mason,
Milford.
Then came the main issue on mo-
tion to indorse three Addicks nomi-
nees-Frank Reedy, OF Milford for
sheriff J. Nj. Knight, OF Frederica, for
coroner, and Jabez Jenkins, of Cam
den, for county treasurer. Henry l..
Hynson, editor OF the Milford News and
Advertiser opposed the motion, but he
argued in vain. The motion was
adopted with less than a half dozen dis
senting votes.
A motion to leave the selection OF
| candidates for delegates to the Consti-
| tutional Convention to the County Exc
| cutive Committee. which in effect
means that the Addicks nominees will
be accepted, was adopted, and the
| county committee was afterwards ap-
| pointed, as follows:
Duck Creek hundred-rrank Rey-
man and James VI. Deakyne.
Kenton-lsaac N. Mills.
Little Creek--T. f. johnson.
West Dover-Joshua Parker, colored
East Dover-W. r. Cahoon, William
Knight and Richard NJ. Jones.
North Murderkill-J. II. Hinesley
and S. II. Derby.
South Murderkill-Dr. P. NJ. Money
and c. M. Mensch.
Mispillion-W. ]. Richards and w
w. Seeders.
Milford-Henry L. Hynson and Clar
ence Mason.

had gathered substantial fruits from
the days proceedings. There is also
strong probability that even the Hig
gins legislative nominations made b,
to-day's convention will dissipate be
fore the official ballot is printed. Ad
dicks leaders boastfully assert tha
John Heitschu Will decline the nomina
Lon for state senator, and that thl
nominees for representatives will ais,
make haste to withdraw from tn
ticket before election day draws near.
At Georgetown to-day Il is probabl
that the same tactics will be pursue,
by the Addicksites.
