since morning to stile the minority.
| The subsequent proceeding interests me
no more"
The anti-Addicks men thereupon left
| the convention amid much excitement.
| The convention then selected delegates
| to take the places of the boilers.
A resolution offered by Addicks was
| adopted giving future conventions 200
| instead of 160 delegates.
The state committee was then an
nounced and the following delegates
were named for ST. Louis: Newcastle
county, j. Edward Addicks and Daniel
| e. Stewart; Kent county, j. Frank AL
| lee and A. B. Conner; Sussex county,
Hiram r. Burton and Caleb r. Lay
| ton.
The report of the committee on Gre
dentials was adopted, several anti-Ad-
dicks men being declared not elected.
The regular convention continues to-
morrow.
| When the anti-Addicks men left the
hall they were followed by General
| Wilson, chairman of the state commit
tee, Hugh c. Brown, secretary of the
committee, and a number of other SYM
pathizers with the regular republicans.
They went to the state house and as
sembled in the hall Of the house Chair
man Wilson took the speakers chair
and nominated Washington Hastings
as chairman.
Mr. Hastings made speech. He
said that the present gathering was
the republican convention. The meet
ing at the other place was the rump
convention, as every fair-minded man
and all persons unless they were Ad-
dicks men would agree. The men in
| the republican convention left the 9TH
| er meeting because they refused to
| have the Addicks collar thrust around
| their necks. They refused to wear the
| badges of the disgrace and shame of
| Addickism.
| Mr.. Hastings declared that the con-
| vention should adopt platform to en-
dorse William Mckinley and elect del
egates to the national convention; and
| 1 make the prediction, said he, that
| William Mckinley will be nominated in
| the national convention and the dele
gates from the convention will be seat
| ed"
Mr. Hastings speech was greeted
with applause. A platform was adopt
ed which declares faith in the princi-
pies of protection and reciprocity, de-
mands an adequate revision of the tar
iff, demands discriminating duties IN
favor of goods carried in American ves-
sells as well as adequate additions to
the navy and the defence of our sea
coasts and frontiers; demands the
maintenance of the present gold stan
dard of value; favors international pi-
metallism, but opposes free coinage of
silver by the United States; instructs
the national delegates to cast the vote
of Delaware for William Mckinley,
first, last, and all the time; expresses
faith in the election of Henry A. Du-
pont as a senator of the United States;
insists that he be given a seat in the
senate; and declares that j. Edward
Addicks is not a republican; that he
betrayed the party of this state by
conspiring with the democrats to de-
feat the election of republican to the
senate of the United States and he is
therefore not fit person, either po-
litically or morrally-to represent the
republicans in Delaware in any capac-
ity.
Delegates were named to the st.
Louis convention as follows Anthony
Higgins, John Pilling, Paris L. Car
Isle, Hiram Reedy, G. P. Swayne and
George H. Hall.
1t was decided that the present state
committee should hold over and call the
August convention.
