HIegins's Humiliation.

Hon. Anthony Higgins has bsen beaten
In his own state, In his own county, In
his own city and in his own ward. j..
Edward Addlcks is IN undlsputed pos
session OF the Republican party Of
Delaware. From powerful political
leader Of the present, Mr. Higgins be-
comes mere political thing Of the past.
he has gone to join Levi Q Bird aud his
other rivals for leadership over whose
bodies he marched with iron heel not
many years ago. He has lost control Of
everything that could possibly give him
hope for the future. His sheet
anchor has always been the
negro vote He has lost that.
He has also lost the State Convention
the State Central Committee and the
county organizations Of Kent and Sussex
counties. Addcks can now do as he
pleases with the New CASTLE county com
nlttee, and wipe out Of existence the
First District Committee. that most
obnoxious political organization which
has played such prominent part in VIII
mlngton politics.
AddIcks money proved more effective
than the Higgins machine. 1t bought
everything that the ex Senator held dear.
One Of the most remarkable features Of
the fght was the defeat OF an ex- United
States senator who earnestly desired to
be a delegate TO State Convention.
Mr.. Higgins has drained 10 It's bitter
dregs the cup Of political humiliation
placed to his lips by Addlcks He must
now bscome follower Of the gas king or
destroy him by throwing what strength
he has remaining In the Democratic
bAlanc3 In November. Knowing that
they we're beaten by DOODLE the Higgins
men donot feel themselves bound by tho
primaries and will pursue an Indspend-
ent course In politics. That Is their only
hope remaining Addloks will have an
enemy, within and an enemy without his
party TO confront when November rolls
round.
