THAT ADDIcKs SLATE.

We publish, in another column, a
slate alleged to have been set up at Do
yer by the Addicksites for the approach
ing municipal campaign If it dem
onstrates anything at all, it is that the
efforts CT the regular Republicans to
form fusion with the followers of the
gas man have been fruitless, for there
Is not a regular Republicans name on
the slate.
Captain Thomas Johnson. who lives
in Virginia and votes in Delaware, is the
man named for mayor Henry c. Conrad,
who has been repeatedly thwarted in
his ambitions by the regular Republi-
cans, is to run for president Of City
Council. Colonel ID. p. Barnard, who
was one of Addlcks disbursing agents
during the last state campaign is to
be put in the field for city treasurer,
while Walter II. Hayes, who once ran
for city solicitor at the Republican pri-
maries and was counted out, is to be
brought out for the same Office under
Oxy Hydrogen auspices. Not only
that, but the Addicksites will put a
councilman in the field in every ward.
This augurs well for Democratic sue
cess in June. The regular Republicans
can never swallow a slate made up OF
Johnson, Conrad, Barnard and Hayes
Consequently they must, in self-de-
fence, set up ticket Of their own. This
means Democratic victory and con-
tinuance Of the good administration OF
the city's affairs for at least two years
longer, new charter or no new charter
Whatever dissensions may exist among
Democrats they do not apply to city af
fairs All thatthey have todois to make
good nominations and vote the ticket
and the Addicksites and regular Re.
publcans will do the rest

Mr.. BACH AND MR. STEWART.


So ex-Chairman Frederick Eden
Bach and ex-Postmaster Daniel f.
Stewart will engage in a battle-royal
for The Wilmington postmastership It
will be an uncompromising fight
Bach despises Stewart and Stewart
hates Bach. In the palmy days of
Higginsism, Bach placed his heel on
the neck Of Stewart and told him to lie
down and be quiet. Stewart complained
TO Senator Higgins and demanded the
head Of Bach on a salver. Senator Hig-
gins had no salver handy and Bach's
life was spared Stewart then deserted
the Higgins camp and set up head
quarters of his own. He endeavored to
defeat Bach in the First District Com
mittae primaries, but was numerically
whipped himself, Bach even carrying
his own ward against him. Then
Stewart went over to Addicks and
when the matter Of his removal from
the post office was broached to Senator
Higgins by an interested Democrat, his
reply was: "Yes. turn him out, the
blankety blank; he's against me"
Stewart has never forgotten or for
given Higgins for this unkind remark,
and he has never forgotten or forgiven
Bach for holding him down and ad-
ministering to him such a signal defeat
at the primaries When two men like
these start out in race for the same
office, but under vastly different au-
spices, they are sure to collide on the
home stretch and then we shall see
which is forced over the fence and into
the infeld.
For Bach to beat Stewart would be
an unalloyed pleasure For Stewart to
beat Bach would be ample excuse for a
two weeks Addicks carnival We wish
the winner all the pleasures of a fat
office and any amount Of revengeful
qualification.

WHO HAS THE PULL.

The fight between ex-Speaker of the
Senate Robert }. Handy and ex-Spealer
lof the House H. II. McMullen for the
office fUnitcd States marshal to sue
ceed Tpewson e. Lannan, Democrat,
wakes warmer. Handy is backed by
the Addicks influence and McMullen dl-
vides, with Delaware Clark and one or
two others. the Higgins support. Both
Addicks and Higgins claim to have the
pull" on the Mckinley administra-
ton and the test Of that pull" will be
made on the first two or three appoint
ments.
Addiclxs will claim that he gave the
three electoral votes OF Delaware to
Mckinley. Higgins will claim that but
for a sacrifice of principle on the part
Of himself and his followers the state
would have gone for Bryan. Not only
that, but he will also accuse Addicks Of
having disrupted the Republican party
in Delaware dead-locked the Legisla-
ture. prevented the election Of a United
States senator and added insult to in
jury by going to Washington and fight
ing against the seating of Colonel Du-
Pont. Addicks will retaliate by accus-
ing Higgins with having bolted the
state convention, set up a separate
ticket. divided the Republican vote in
Delaware and enabled the Democrats
to carry everything, including a gov
ernor. United States senator and rep
resentative in Congress.
After hearing all charges and coun-
ter-charges we incline TO the belief
that the Higginsltes will be invited to
sit at the administration table while
the Addicksites hang around the back
door to catch whatever is thrown out
to them. and that the scraps will not
include anything particularly desirable
to office-hungry men.

dispcnsatioh or Federal patronage viii

ion Republicans in Delaware and rem

USEFUL CITIZEN GONE.

Five days ago Hon. Il. l.. Martin, Of
Seaford, was an important factor in
the senatorial fight at Dover and
was there directing his friends within
and without the Legislature. When It
became apparent that he could not Sc
cure the caucus nomination himself he
threw his strength to General r. r.
Kenney and materially aided in nomi-
mating him. He then went home. and
his friends little thought that within
less than a week his long and useful
public and private career would end in
death.
He distinguished himself more as a
party man and horticulturist than as a
lawyer. His name was known in all
fruit-growing sections and especially
in the peach-growing sections Of this
and other states
In public life he held many import
ant positions. AS early as 1863 he was
clerk of the State Senate, and repre-
sented the Democratic party OF Della
ware in the national conventions of
1861, 1872, 1876, 1880 and 1884 After eX-
ercising various public functions he
was elected to Congress for two terms,
and ably represented his constituency.
Since then he severa times received
complimentary votes FLOR the office of
United States senato but never devel-
oped sufficient strenk kth TO secure the
honor.
His influence WIS a good one
wherever directed, 'and he will be
missed by both his party and the pub

When a rump Legislature set up by

Judge Of the World" on a writ of err
ror, nearly every allegation in which

it is an insult to heaven and the court
below must be sustained
The last words of this rump Legisla-
ture were, God save the state" We
echo the sentiment. God save the state
from the debauching influence Of Ad-
dicksism; God save the state from hav-
ing such a representative in our ma
tional halls Of legislation; God save the
state from another such exhibition Of
political and moral degeneracy as that
afforded by the rump General Assem-
bly, which has closed a hypocritical ca
reer in such a hypocritical manner.
In dealing with the Delaware State
Hospital at Farnhurst the General AS
sembly ought not to come to a hasty
conclusion. IL is an important
state institution, and one of the most
creditable and well-kept asylums in the
East Any requests made by it's board
OF trustees are worthy of careful con-
sideration. It's actual needs should be
granted, for to stint it unnecessarily
in the matter of an appropriation
would be to cripple its efficiency and
bring suffering upon a most unfortu-
nate class of indigents.
