forts 10 bring about harmonious rela-
tions between them and the Union RE
publicans, keeping constantly in mind
the supremacy of the Regular Republi-
can party organization and the disin-
tegration or ABSORPTION OF the organ
lied forces OF J. Edward Addicks. AZ
ter boiling the Addicks convention and
setting up ticket df their own to de-
feat the one nominated by the ADJ
dicks men, they conducted a campaign
OF violent denunciation against the
Union Republican party, and no name
was too bad for them to apply to those
men whom they now seek to curry fa-
vor with and use for their own special
purposes. They carried the fight to
THE National Convention and drove out
the delegates elected by the Union Re
publican party. They assisted to nomi-
nate William Mckinley for president.
THEY 50 ingratiated themselves with
tho National Committee that they se-
cured practically all OF the speakers,
and the vast bulk OF the campaign lit
erature To make themselves safe
and solid with the incoming admins
tration they withdrew the three cleo
tors OF their own nomination, after
vainly trying 10 force Those OF the Adj
dlc1sites from the field, and endorsed
the Union Republican nominees, thus
insuring to Mckinley the three elec-
toral votes from Delaware. After Nc
Kinley was inaugurated they secured
the appointment OF Colonel Henry A.
DUPONT as the dispenser Of Federal pa
tronage coming to Delaware, and in
stalled Henry G. Morse at his elbow to
keep him Within proper bounds in fhis
work OF dispensation. They took all
the offices. GIon. John Higgins, the
man whom they used to defeat Hon.
John II. Hoffeclker, the Union Republi-
can candidate for governor, was sent
TO Dundee, Scotland, as consul. Cen
eral Samuel A. Niacallister was sent 10
Barbados in like capacity. Hon. Ed
ward G. Bradford, a man who was SO
bitterly antagonistic to Addicks and
Addicksism that he cut the gas man d.
rect upon every occasion which offer
cd, was appointed judge OF the Federal
Court. John Cannon Short, who con-
tributed more than any other man tC

ticket in Sussex county, was appoint
