| tionment in the convention should not be
governed by the apportionment in the Leg
islature, but both should be assimilated to
apportionment according to population.
| Much more might be said about the un-
fairness, injustice and impolicy of the change
proposed by the Union Republicans if our
space permitted it. Enough appears, how
ever, to show that this change has not been
proposed with a view to the unity, welfare
or the success of the party. but was devised
to lead to the disunion and to Democratic
success, and can be meant for no other pur-
pose. The Legislature is chosen no longer
by counties but by DISTRICTS and of fifteen
representatives and senators to be chosen
from the country sections, only seven Re
puhlicans, on the basis of the last election,
of Kent and Sussex, or fourteen from both.
Those counties can only elect fourteen Re-
publicans out of fifty-two members in both
houses, instead. under the old constitution,
of having possibility of electing twenty
out of thirty in the Legislature.
The old game of two beating one is at
last ended. Under it the stale was governed
by the counties of Kent and Sussex frs1
under the Federalists, next under the Wings.
and last under the Democrats. It can be so
no longer. If either party is to have the
control of the Legislature, it is by getting
the majority out of all the counties, rather
than having an exclusive control over two.
A Republican majority can only be
obtained now by getting large majority of
the legislators from New Castle county.
This renders it impossible for Addicks to
get into the United States Senate With these
conditions staring them in the face, his
reckless and misguided followers adopt his
characteristic methods and undertake to
hold up" the Republican party of the
stale from the possibility of success, and of
rescuing the state from Democratic misrule,
until it yields to Mr.. Addick's pretentions.
"You do not make him SENATOR" says his
followers, "and we will keep the party
split"
I'VE revive old issues as to representation
in the Legislature and the state convention.
We rip up the esettlement of 1885, We
thurst this question of principle into
the contest. We play the part of the dog in
the manager. We cannot have power, and
the party shall not.''
i, It may take another general election to
make plain to the people and the Republi-
cans all the facts and true bearings that are
involved in this matter, but time works
alone for the benefit Of the truth and the
right, and whatever may be done by the
followers of Adddicks at the convention, in
the end truth and right will prevail and the
united Republican Party will at last triumph
over their distractions and give to this state
good government.

JAPAN IS STUBBORN.
SERIOUS FRICTION LIKELY
/ OVER HAWAII.
Tho situation In Regard to Annexation
Declared such That Unpleasant De-
veiopmonis May 80 tho Result at Al
most ANY Moment--Unoio Sam Abort

CHICAGO, July H. "A special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
"There is serious danger of diplomatic
friction between the United States and
Japan over Hawaii. Although the
reply which Japan has made to Secre-
tary Sherman's note concerning the
intent lions of this government has
been received, the state department
holds 1t in secrecy, II is known, how
ever, that the reply is not as amiable
as had been hoped for.
"The reply of the Japanese govern
meut is of such tone and there are
such suspicious movements of certain
Japanese warships that the admins
tratjon is afraid Japan may be medi-
tating some coup de force in Honolulu
1t is understood that in their reply the
japanese still contend that they have
equal rights with the United States in
Hawaii, and that the attempt OF tho
United States TO annex the islands
without consultation with Japan is a
breach OF good faith.
''Sne thing is certain, and that Is
that no matter which way the diplo-
matte negotiations turn the admins
tration does not propose to be caught
mapping, If the Japanese make n
show of force at Honolulu, with or
without an announced intention of de-
handing that the Hawaiian govern
ment comply with the demands for
reparation, which were submitted
some time ago, this government will
do the same thing, No one need
be surprised If the warships of
the United States and of Japan frown
on one another in Honolulu within
the next two weeks. War is not ex-
pected by any merlber of the Wash
ington government familiar with the
facts, but it is admitted that mobiliza-
ton of naval craft Mt Honolulu would
be sufficient to produce hazardous
situation. Already there is good
deal of luminosity toward the United
States on the part of the Japan naval
officers and an overt act on their part
might precipitate a great deal of
trouble
During the last ten days the Navy
department. has made SPECIAL prepare
tions of quiet sort for mobilization
Of our naval forces on the Pacific at
Honolulu should the turn of diplomacy
make such action necessary
