| ersD the means to a private or q party
end; = system which inaugurated the
use of large sums Of money for ths pur.
pose OF carrying elections by debauching
the voters, and which spread It's protect
ing wings over and gave countenance to
that political 6uAncier and Adventurer
who now seeks TO buy his way to a seat
In the United States Senate No matter
what Mr.. Higgins may be personally,
this is what he represents politically.
He cannot hide behind his personality
for he represents the fragment Of
party and all that IL implies.
We are sorry to see Mr.. Hoffecksr be.
come public sacrifice upon the altar
Of such private enterprise as that set
on foot by j. Edward Addcks BE ia
deserving of a better fate. Mr.. Hof-
fecker repr~~nts Mr. Addlcks and Mr..
Addicks repressuts the most pernicious
system Of politics that ever cursed q
state In the Union. It is nothing more
or less than the dslib srate purchase Of
sufficient votes to elect men to elect
him to the United States Senate. The
simplicity, Auascity and cold blooded-
ness Of the scheme has shocked even the
Republicans themselves, and every man
knows that any political system which
shocks Republican must be exceed
ingly bad They never dreamed that
their political protege would grow to
such proportions at their expense. Tho
Addicks political system Is founded on
the almighty dollar. 1t has nothing else
to recommend 1t to the people 1t prom
ists nothing but the election Of Addicks to
to the United States Senate. The men
who figure on the Addicks ticket are but
the Instruments that he has selected to
accomplish that END. Mr.. HofIecker Is
one Of them, and the gas man counts
upon the use Of the appointlve power
vested In the governor TO bring TO him
certain useful ipfusncea In furtheranoe
OF his personal ambition. Mr.. Hoffecker
may protest his independence. but IL will
not do. Elect him and We shall have
creature OF Addieks In every { ffise in the
state and the most corruEt sdminiutra-
tion that the state has ever known.
This would be so not because Mr..
Hoffecker desired 1t to be 30 but because
the Influences which would surround
him would be too strong for him to
resist.
Here we have the three men aud the
political systems which they represent
There can be no doubt as to the choice Of
the people. They will elect the man who
represents the Democratic party and
Democratic principles who believes that

Addloh.,s Hlrh onpon.nt.

Chairman Hanna has no use for ]. Ed
ward Addioks. His sYmpAthies are ell
with the regular Republicans In their
struggle for continued supremacy In the
party councils In Delaware. He has
shown 1t at every opportunity, and has
repeatedly Inundated the gas king and
his followers before the country.
When Addicks and his delegates went
to st. Louie, 1t was through the ir q lence
Of Mark Hanna that they we're declared
not to bs Rep ublicSns The same master
hand seated the regular Republican
delegates, and showed the AddIcksltes

least. who cent for Addlcks aud his ohIei
lieutenants to 60 to New York only to
still further humillAte them before the
country at large when they refused &c
lay down arms and surrender at discre

These repeated insults have rendered
Addicks and his friends desperate, and

Injurious Ia every one of its conse

that they prepared to dc, while their In

were unpleasant hosts, was morally

instead of either defending themselves
