THEY ARE NOT REPUBLICANS.

In all OF its editorials the Milford
Chronicle assumes that the Addicke
ticket set up last year was a Republl-
can ticket. Such an assumption is err
roneous. 1t was a ticket repudiated by
nearly every Republican of standing
and respectability in the state and was
regarded as the tangible form OF one
OF the most damnable conspiracies
which ever cursed this state. That chose
engaged in that conspiracy attempted
to win there Is no doubt, but It was a
game OF self and pelf from the com
mander-in-chief to the lowest private
in the ranks OF his venal followers. The
regular Republicans held regular con-
vention; they set up regular ticket;
it was recognized by the national Re-
publican party and by the Democratic
party. Every effort on the part of the
Addicksltes to impeach its regularity
met with ignominiOus failure, and to-
day the Mckinley administration recog-
nizes the regularity Of the regular Re
qublicans and their organization and
repudiates the Addicksites and their
organization.
This proves that the Addicksites are
in no sense Republicans and that no
true Republican owes allegiance to
them. They are merely the toys of one
man, who has more ambition than
party principle and more money than
conscience.
The honor and manhood of Delaware
Republicanism is to be found in the
regular Republican party, while the
ranks OF the Addicksites contain the
venal elements of all parties.
No regular Republican will contend
for a moment that ne expected his
ticket to be elected last Fall; but they
will all frankly admit that that ticket
was set up TO hold together those who
wished to repudiate and give the death
blow to Addicks and Addicksism. They
did It for the safety and well-being OF
the state, and the heroic act was their
own salvation. Had they been of the
same sOrdid and constituencies charac-
ter as the Addicksites they would have
sacrificed principle for victory. But
ahey were made OF sterner stuff-of the
stun which is now bringing the Ad-
dicksites cringingly to their feet, beg
ging for harmony and a share OF the
Federal patronage.

The outlawed race-track men of Cecil
county are now on their good behavior
pending the election. Party men on
both sides are endeavoring to convince
an indignant people that they favor the
stamping out of the race-track evil, but
the people are so suspicious that they
are demanding pledges of the most
binding description. The only hope of
the race-track men now is that by the
exercise of their sinister influence they
may be able to make the members OF
the legislative delegation forget their
pledges.
