HOW REPUBLICANS May WIN

FROM sussex Republican, Now, 18th, 1879
y The Addieksites seek to deceive thu
y people by their profession of intense
d interest in the welfare and success ol
Q the Republican party, and seek to place
: tie blame of the present conditions OF
y affairs existing in that party upon the
other fellows. The responsibility for
the present condition of the Republican
party rests with kddicks and his sup
porters, and with them alone. The
responsibility of any continued division
in the future rests with them.
They have In the past, preferred Mr..
Addicks to the Republican party. His
welfare and success, has been apparent
ly the first desire of their hearts, and
the object of their intrigues. 1t is the
same to-day. The question for Repub-
lican voters to consider is not-"Whe-
ther it is not better to accept Addicks
rather than defeat''-but do we prefer
success to Addicks2 It is well for all
men Of Republican proclivities to un-
derstand that success of the Rspubli-
can party and Mr.. Addicks cannot go
hand in hand. You must take your
choice. If you prefer Mr.. Addicks
and defeat, you will have to abide by
the CONSCIENCE of such a choic If
on the other hand you prefer the sue
cess of the Republican party to Ad-
dicks, you will have to let him go and
turn in and do what you can for the
Republican party. Do not deceive
yourself, nor permit yourself to be de-
| ceived by the promise of any Addick's
adherent. You know what their pro-
misses are worth. They have not even
kept their promises made last election,
to pay certain men to vote. 1t is not
wurth while 10 mince words in this
connection. Addicks and defeat go /
hand in hand. He always defeats the
party, when he cannot win and the Re-
publicans are in position to turn the
tables by defeating him. Addicks is
the issue now ss he has been in the
past and will continue to be until he is
eventually disposed of. If his adher-
ents want to defeat the Republican
party by insisting upon pushing him
and his Senatorial ambition forward as
the issue in the next campaign. the
Republican party will not dodge it, but
will meet it just as in the past, and
you know the result. You know the
consequence. You know the lost. If
you have political ambitions and thirst
to serve your State and country, by
filling an Office, you will have to con-
tinue to thirst if you stick to Addicks,
because that means defeat. It is just
possible that bis money, or the hope of
getting some Of it, may allay the thirst.
If the latter is the case We leave you to
visions Of prison cell and forfeited
franchise as reminder Of its accom-, !
panying dangers. We hope our readers
will excuse our bluntness. but we do
not want to be misunderstood and we
do not want you to be deceived. Every
one of you know the condition of the
Republican party since Addicks has
taken part in Delaware pt litic3.
1t is very we'll to boast of q fine '
Union Republican organization, but
you know that it has never won a vic-
tory or elected one single man in this y
country alone. We are ready to ad- =
nit that it is pretty good organiza- :
Jon for distributing money before or :,
after election day. II may be good "
money making scheme for some, but =
Is political machine, it is a failure. VI
It has not won success and never will. =
It can buy hoaters on election day and v
n the Legis lature, but that is no par. v
ocular credit to its good name, and =
hat didn't win. v
The Republican party, of the Eagle =
brand, may not be quite as numerous :. :.
Is the sands of the sea, nor particular u
,oastful, but as winner can show a y
,retty clean record since the advent of y
Addicks. y
Do not forget that the latter's Sena- p
orial ambition has been the issue, and F.
We all know who has been the winner.
I it is still the issue, can you pick the 50
Vinnerf II you cannot, most any Ad, of
icks leader can. He can tell you just tt
bout the number of Legislative Gis, A
riots the Addicksites can carry, but it pr
Vill be so far below the twenty seven th
ecessary to elect Addicks Senator that th
on will have to wonder what all this th
oasted strength Of their organization til
mounts to anyway. What is the use co
I throwing all chance of Republican CO
uccess away just for AddicksP If he w
ad been good Republican he would
ave gotten out of the way and per-
litted the Republican party to have -
lected Senator in 1895. The same -
! 1899. We do not think much Of the -
ian who will not support the ticket =,
scause he does not get nomination, -,
nt Addicks is the same stripe. He B,
sfeats the party because be cannot get ..c
