nominated the following state ticket for

Wilson, of Kent county; Daniel F. J.
Fooks, of Sussex county.
The con venton was q psrJunctory In
many ways. and everything was passed
unanimously. The ticket had previously
been agreed upon and announced, 30 that
the nominations caused little comment or

In the convention was a set Of resolutions
passed without opposition, srraigning the
late Republican National Convention and
the late Republican National Committee
for refusing to seat j. Edward Addicks
and his other delegates In the resolutions

committeeman from Delaware, and also
for the committee TO come to Delaware
and investigate the present trouble be
tween the warning factions.
Demand for RooognitIon.
Some of the Addicks leaders were op
posed to the resolutions, as they attacked

country and are likely to make the
breach In this state much wider. These
men were evidently afraid to speak Of
their opposition In the convention, for
Z the resolutions went through with a
rush After the convention Mr. Addicks
was asked what was the idea of the
resolutions. He replied:
"They make a demand for recognition

8 the resolutions to attack the late com
mittee and mean to make demand for
