Ex-senator Higgins and ). Edward Addicks
Call ON Mark Hanna In New York.

Ex-senator Higgins and y. Ed ward Addicks
Cali ON Mark Hanna In New York.
A special from New York. dated Mon
day, says: Chairman Hanna has set
tied the political imEroglio in Delaware
az far IS the electoral ticket is con-,
cerned. Ex-senator Higgins of that
State, who called to-day at Republican
headquarters, has agreed to support
tho electoral ticket named by the j.
Edward Addicks faction.
This electoral ticket is, OF course, for
Mckinley, and the ex-senator takes
the ground that it makes no special
difference which faction casts the
electoral vote for the Republican Ma
tional ticket. He said that Delaware
now could surely be counted in the Re-
publican column. Mr.. Addicks was
also at headquarters and said that the
regular Republicans would support his
tMr. Addicks') electoral ticket.
Ii was shrewd stroke on the part of
the Union Republican leaders to secure
Hon. Thomas B. Reed to speak here.
The fact that he would be here On
October 10th was telegraphed to !.
Edward -addicks Monday by Powell
Clayton, chairman of the Speakers
bureau, whose telegram reads as fol-
lows:
Just received message from Il. B.
Reed stating that he would speak in
Wilmington on Saturday, tenth. {"
Great preparations will be made for
the meeting. State Chairman STAINS
bury j. Wiley will preside. Republi-
can clubs will be- invited to attend.
Snecial rates on railroads are to be
secured for the accommodation of people
within goodly radius of Wilmington.
A omission to the A uditorium will be,
in part at least, by ticket. Seats will
be reserved for ladies. When State
Chairman Wiley received the news
that Speaker Reed would be here he
telegrapbed Mr.. Reed that he would be
given tho biggest reception ever given
anybody in Delaware. Tho meeting
date clashes with the date Of a meet
ing to be held in the Grand Opera
House under the auspices of the Re-
publican State Committee, when ex-
Senator Anthony Higgins and William
@. Spruance are to speak.
The following Telegram was sent out
from New York Monday: The Single
Takers, it is rumored. are divided into
two camps and the sound money faction
repudiates the position taken by those
who have endorsed Bryan. They pro-
pose to issue declaration setting forth
their own views and have it signed as
numerously as possible by their friends
throughout the country. William Lloyd
Garrison of Boston, Bolton Smith of
Tennessee, Samuel Milliken of Will
mington, Del, and Il. j. Shruer of
this city, have taken the matter in
hand and Single Takers are requested
to furnish them with their addresses.
A Mckinley man and Single
TaHer played series of checkers on
wager at Single Tax headquarters
Wednesday night. The loser was to
vote for the winners candidate. The
Mckinley man won the first two games,
the next two were draws. and he car.
ried off the fifth.
