| gag they have been trying to pass OF
for several preceding elections and thi
plan is ouly rart OF general plan o
campaign adopted during the session O
the Legislature. They deliheratel
sought t.: aud did succeed in brius in,
about he very condition of affairs the!
now seek to take advantage of. Som,
of the Addicks lieltenants did not hest
tate to say that they did not want /.
United States Senator elected at thai
time because it would leave two vacan.
cies to be filed in 1901 and it would
give the p. rty an opportunity to get to-
gether by giving Addicks one of the
Senatorships. II the deplOre the pos
sibility of Democratic success and two
democratic Uri'ed States Senators,
they should recall the fact that they
thi ough the insistence of Aldicks cie-
ated this vacancy and brought about
the condition of affairs which makes
the election of two Democrats possible.
Nor is this the first tiGe that Addicks
has thus directly and deliberately sacri.
feed the future success of the Republic
can party for his own selfish purpose
and TO further his own ends.
These same Addicksities delight TO
point at Senator KenDey and recall the
disgrace of his trial as result of III
division in the Republican ranks, for,
getting we suppose, that they and Ad-
dicks made Kenney possible, whel
they prevented the election of Dupont
and thereby deliberately struck down
the Republican party.
1t is we'll for these men to remember
that it is mighty poor rule that don't
work both ways, and the same is ork,
ing their way At present.
The fight he Republican party has
made is.agaiDst Addick, and he alone.
The fight which has been waged by the
organic ILion, calling itself the Union
Republican party has been waged di-
rectly and solely in behalf of Addicks.
The lat: er may boast Of their strength
and splendid organic stion, but they
know and everybody else's knows that
the organization's Inception, creation
aud continuance is solely AMI alone for
the purpose of making John Edward
Addicks United States Senator from
Delaware. Their organization is made
strong by the power of Addicks moeey.
Without it it would be useless piece
of political mechanism.
He pays :he running expenses of the
organization. He pays The men to or,
ganize and direct it; he pays them fer
their services AID they can well afford
to devote their time solely to this or
ganization. 1t has got to be business
with some of them, AID that it pays
them we'll we should imagine from the
present prosper Gus condition of their |
affairs. Can we expect such organi-
zation to have any other object than
the obedience Of the commands of its
creator and owner.
We do not care to uDjustly criticize
certain voters who have been identified
with that organization, because we
know they have been Influenced by
entirely different motives and although
believing in their honesty Of purpose
we cannot understand their course Of
How anyone who is well acquainted
with the history and every act of this
can convince himself that
the leaders thereof, who are the real
machinery of the organization, have
any other object, or even idea, other
than fighting only and solely for the
election of Addicks, we fail to under
stand. We cannot recall single in
stance when he party or the wishes or
desires of any portion thereof, have not
always been sacrificed for Addicks'
benefit. The Republican party has
been sacrificed time and time again.
The advice and counsel tf men who
have been life long and active Repub-
licans, has been ignored at the COM
mand and request of Addicks. He is
aeuer disobeyed by bis organization and
any member thereof, who, disgusted
with Addicks and his methods. has
enough to say so, is call
ID a traitor and damed by Addicks and
his lieutenaDts. Did history ever Ee-
'ore witness such fealty? Is it not re-
Truly it is beyond the ken
# men.
Do these men think that the Re-
,ublicans who have not besitated to
'acrifice themselves to defeat this man,
who has so often proved traitor to
and the Repshlican
party, will now, when encouraged by ]
he knowledge of their power to defeat
,im in future as 10 the past; when men
Who have heretofore been strength to
he Unicn Republican organization,
ever their connection with 1t, and do
lot hesitate to denounce it in public;
when we know that men are at last
4
convinced Of the true intention of Ad-
licks and his organization and no lon-
yer propose to sacrifice the Republican
,arty for bis benefit; when We know
Tictory is ours and the forces OF Ad-
licks are helpless TO make him Senator.
DO they think that The Rep. blicans
ire coming to his ass stance and help
i'm TO attain the very object they have
