HOT AND COLD.

II is too late in the day for Senator
Abbott and ether Union Republicans
Of prominence TO advance the argu-
ment that they are fighting for the
cardinal principe that majority snail
rule. Could they oblNerate the his
tory of the past four years and stand
upon new and clean premises in that
beha,f. such a pretense might be ad-
vanced at this time; but the history OF
Delaware stands in black and white
and the finger of the past points ac-
cusingly at the conduct Of the handful
Of Union Republican members Of the
General Assembly who, in 1895, il
obedience to this same J. Edward Ad-
dicks. for whom Senator Abbott and
his friends are talking and working
to-day, refused to go into caucus ana
set at defiance the grand principle
of politics which they are to-day in
yoking, and calling upon high heaven

Regular Republicans.
Parties. and those composing them
hannot blow hot and cold, even al
such long intervals as two years. In
1896 the Union Republicans sowed the
wind; in 1899 they are reaping the
whIrlwind. The Regular Republicans
are paying them back in their Owl
coin. and with interest. Union Repub'
licans have no right to complain
