FEET BY THE EVENING JOUR-

The Evening Journal has repeatedly
taken the Smyrna Times, Dover State
Sentinel and Milford Chronicle to task
for their ondeavors to make the public
believe that j. Edward Addicks was
out of the fight for the office of United
States senator. Now read what the
gas man has to say about the matter:
You can say positively that John
Edward Addicks will be candidate
for United States senator from Della
ware until he is removed by death. All
reports to the contrary are untrue.
The so-called regular Republicans
are growing weaker all the time. II
they did not have the Federal patron
age they would gradually fade out of
existence. That is the only thing that
gives them a semblance of life And
they get that patronage because of an
reelection promises to Mckinley We
are not worrying about patronage, but
our party is gaining strength, espe-
cially in the liver counties There will
be no more compromise with the Hig-
gins people. We appointed our COM
mittee and met them in good faith
but our overturcs were rejected.
The new Constitution helps the
Union Republicans. We are bound tc
be a potent factor in the Legislature
as we will have many members. There
will be no boiling caucuses either. The
Higgins people have had enough OF
that. Hereafter all will stand by the
caucus nominee. | could not give uT
