The Primary Elections.

Last Saturday witnessed the most
exciting primary elections to choose
delegates to State Convention that
were ever held in Delaware. It was
an open contest between Addicks
and Higgins-backed by the Massey
faction-and Addicks won by sub
stantial majority and almost four
fifths Of the public vote.
The result was surprising to the
minority for the smallness Of show
ing made. In Kent county solid
delegation of forty Addicks men
were chosen. and the most stubborn
fight was made in Milford hundred
where the Higgins combination
polled 55 out of 35l votes polled.
Sussex county gave Addicks SO Of
her delegates out of ~, and in most
hundreds the contest was waged to
the bitter end. In Cedar Creek hun
dred the personal popularity of Geo.
Fl. Hall, who was on the Higgins
Massey ticket--enabIed them to poll
$50 votes out of the 1876 votes cast
New Castle county was surprise
to all, for Senator Higgins was beaten
in his own ward and General Wilson
was showed under in New Castle
hundred. The Addicks forces cap
tured 80 of the IS delegates and con
tested the election in these wards
where the vote was close.
It was a bitter fight throughout,
and the Addicks faction regard the
result as an endorsement oftheir po-
sition.

Morse, New Castle; Charles H.Maull
Sussex, and F. E. Bach, representing
Kent county. Mr.. Walker then
asked that Mr. Pilling he given a
hearing. Chairman Hastings said
that he had no idea of not giving
Mr. Pilling a hearing. He was an
old friend of Mr.. Pilling and would
be glad to hear from him. Mr.. Pill
inc said that his idea was that the
delegates should go home to their
constituents and represent to them
the way they had been treated. He
thought the meeting should adjourn
to assemble again in Wilmington in
two weeks. Men could assemble
from the different wards and districts
and the meeting would have a bet
ter backing than the one to-day.
Mr.. Bach then said that the dele
gates to the National Convention
would have to be elected thirty days
before the assembling of the National
Convention and it would be neces-
sary to elect delegates at this con-
ventiOn.
The report of the committee on
resolutions was then adopted, which
was practically the same as those of
the regular eonventiOn-eXcept Nc
Kinley was Endorsed and the dele
gates instructed to vote for him.
The meeting then adopted a reso-
luton denouncing Mr.. Addicks po-
liticalIy and morally.
The following were named as del
egates to st. Louis: From New Cas-
tie. Anthony Higgins and General
Wilson; from Kent, Hiram Reedy
and DR.. P. r. Carlisle; from Sussex.

their names would be used. The
meeting adjourned in time to catch

A great majority of the Republi-
can voters of Delaware gave expires
sion of their opinion last Saturday
at the primary election and sent two
thirds of all their delegates to the
State Convention as friends of J.
Edward Addicks and pledged to OPP
pose the dictates of the Higgins
Massey combination. In Kent and
Sussex the primaries we're conducted
honestly and in accordance with the
usual practices, but in Wilmington
each faction left no opportunity pass
to gain its point. "When Greek
meets Greek then comes the tug of
war" and so it was in New Castle
county. For years the machine has
ruled with an iron hand. Rights
have been trampled under foot, and
the most glazing frauds perpetrated.
10 sucn an extent nad TINS gone JnaJ
the minority turned to Kent and
Sussex for succor, and our oft re-
peated assertion, "Kent and Sussex
will take care Of New Castle" has
actually come to pass.
But the old ring dies hard. The
"rule or ruin" policy is part of its
nature, and such men as Washington
Hastiugs-who shapes the opinions
of the Morning Neps, are belching
forth abuse on the majority OF the
Republican party, which will result
in their condemnation by the rank
and file of their present following.

THE battle has been fought to a
finish. Some are hurt, but none are

The Rump Convention.

When the Higgins boilers left The
convention, they went to the State
House where General Wilson called
them to order in the House of Rep
resentatives, and placed Wash Hast
ings in the chair; but harmony did
not prevail.
Mr.. Hastings said the convention
should adopt a platform, indorse VIM.
Mckinley and elect delegates to the
National Convention at St Louis.
"And I make the prediction" said
Mr.. Hastings. "and mark well the
prediction, that William Mckinley
will be nominated by the National
Convention and the delegates from
this convention will be seated"
But all those present were not so
confident that the meeting rose to
the dignity of convention. Repre-
sentative Francis NJ. Walker, who
was one of their number, said "that
he did not consider this meeting a.
convention, but a gathering of Re
publicans."
Mr., Bach then moved that a com
mittee on resolutions be appointed.
Mr.. Pilling said that the members
were little excited and questioned
how they should proceed.
Chairman Hastings asked if Mr..
Pilling wished to serve on the CON-
mittee, and receiving a negative in
simation, then said that he would be
excused.

DR.. Marshall said that the resolu
ton was a customary one.
Mr.. Hastings fought this to fin
ish by the chairman finally declaring
him out OF order. The convention
by this time was thoroughly hungry
and adjourned for one hour for din
ner.
Although the hour was set for 8
o'clock to reconvene, it was about
one hour later when the convention
was called to order.

The committee on resolutions was
not quite ready to report and the
Higgins men began 10 get anxious
about the time. Up to this point
they had been delaying everything,
but they now were afraid sufficient
time would not be given them to
carry out their plan of boiling the
convention, and they urged immedi-
ate reports from committees. After
a long wrangle over this point the
committee on resolutions presented
its report.

The Men Selected to FIJI Out the
Board of Managers.

Washington, March 25.-As a result of
the caucus of the nine republican mem
bers of the House military committee this
morning, it was decided to report to the
full committee on Friday joint resolu-
ton recommending the appointments of
Gen. Franklin of Connecticut, Thomas
J, Henderson of Illinois, George l.. Beale

diana to fill the vacancies caused in the
board of managers of the national SOL
dies homes which will occur this year.
Gen Franklin and Mr.. Steele succeed
themselves. Mr.. Henderson of Illinois,
who was for many years a representative
in congress, succeeds John c. Black of
Chicago. who was President Cleveland S
first commissioner of pensions. Mr..
Steele is member of the Indiana con-
gressional delegation and held the Of
fice of governor of Oklahoma under Pres
ident Harrison. Mr. Beale succeeds Gen.
Fessenden of Maine, who declined re-
appointment
There was considerable opposition to
Gen Franklins reappointment and at
the caucus yesterday it was defeated by
a vote of to 4. 1t was decided at that
time however, that the caucus action
should not be conclusive, and during the
afternoon and night influence was
brought to bear upon one of his oppon-
ents which resulted in this gentleman
today casting his vote with Gen. Frank
Inns friends, thus turning the tide in his
favor
