TheEUery EUening is very much op-
posed to any fusion of the two branches
OF the Republican party uniting on the
State and local candidates.
The Republicans had large ratifica-
ton meeting in Wilmington last eve
ming addressed by Hon. Anthony Hig-
gins, VIM. G. Spruance, Benz. Nields,
Gen. Wilson and others.
NoTIcE-Notice is hereby given that
all Merchants and Manufacturers Year
ly Licenses are due on June LIST. and

II Clerk of the Peace.
At the Boundary Avenue Presbv-
terrain Church of Baltimore City, on
the 18th of June, Miss Mary Laing
Watson, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Watson, of 1901 North Broadway,
was married to DIR. Henry o. Reik, of
that city. The groom is a son of H.
A. Reik, of Frederick, Delaware.
The call for the convention issued
by the" Addicks people" states that
there are to be two hundred delegates
New Castle county has been having
Is delegates, only four short of the
representation accorded - 80. The
/ Morning NelCS says: "But when the
'Addicks people" added 20 more to
the representation of Kent county
and to the representation Of Sussex
county, 40 more, it is not to be expected
that the Republicans i'll New Castle
are to accept that unjust and Outrag-
| eOus appOrtiOnment.
ADDICKs WILL MAKE A FIGHT.-Ex-
ecutions have been issued to Sheriff
Gillis to sell the gas plant of the Oxy-
Hydrogen Company, of Wilmington,
controlled by J. Edward Addicks, for
non-payment of city taxes. Mr.. Ad-
dicks resists payment because the city
authorities refuse to give his company
permission to lay pipes in the streets
of Wilmington, and thus make the
plant operative. The order of the sale
under the Sheriff's execution will be
resisted by injunction proceedings.
SELL Your PEACHES AT HoME.-It
is generally admitted that the PENN
sula peach crop is an exceptionally
good one. Even the peach buyer tum-
bles to the fact. AS the farmers have
the fruit the question to consider is
How can the best price be obtainedi
The Farmers Institute, of KEN
county, Del, has marked out the
course. At a meeting of the Institute
at FELTON,, one day this week, resOlu.
! tiOns were passed to sell peaches a
home stations only and not ship to
commission men as has been the prac-
tice heretofore. A resolution was also
passed in favor of careful and homes
packing. The last resolutions com
mends itself to every farmer who hai
, basket of peaches to ship or sell
, The surest and quickest way to kill tn
: market is in dishonest packing.
= Under the head of "The Demo
cratic Trap" the Wilmington Repu6
= Hcan concludes an editorial as follows
t The Republicans should elect their cleo
S tors for President and Vice-Presiden
n the nominees for Governor, for Con
gress and the Legislature, as well a
the full county tickets and when tina
7 is done it will be time enough to de
l termine what shall be done about tn
Senatorial question. Any Republica
who advises any other course is nOtI
e ing better than wolf in sleeps clOtE
|, ing, and the sooner he openly joins tn
g Democrats the better it will be for IL
d party. Benedict Arnold was patriC
in his younger days, but when b
sought to give up TiconderOga to tt
: British, Washington had no further us
y for him. Those who try to destroy tt
party at this time should take the hin
whether they be Addicks or ant
o Addicks.
u HIGGINs REPUBLICANS SHOW NO DI
le POSITION TO AcCEPT.-There is no di
W position on the part of the Higgins r
publicans to accept the Overtures {
d, fered by the Addicks State Cent?
re Committee. The latter, by the res
e, buttons adopted calling a ConventiC
h at Dover on July IA, want the COnve
d. ton called by the Higgins men f
of July 16, at Georgetown, to appoint
committee for Presidential electors al
- electors and nominees for Congre
OF and Governor. The Addicks peOI
Oh thought that the Higgins men Won
1n make a rush towards such settleme
lp- of the difficulties now existing betwe
NJ the two factions, but no such rush
been made nor are there any signs
ter it being made.
ia. Wien Hon. Edward G. Bradford "
re asked if there was likely to be an
ell. greement with the two factions,
F. said: ''You can't make oil and wa
mix. There is no possible combinati
- between those two elements. One
eY. the other must go under" This I
EFT doubtebly expresses the opinion of
al majority of the regular Republics
yer of Delaware. Mr.. Bradford is one
st the closest political friends of ex-Sel
Sn' Higgins, and is looked upon as
iii coming leader of the Republican pa
or in this State.-C'Or. Ledger.
