The Union Republican party con-
tains two-thirds of the Republicans
of this State. They have, day af-
ter day, polled an unbroken vote of
Is Union Republicans, Senators and
Representatives, for J. Edward Ad-
dicks, the choice OF the masses of
the Republicans of this State, for
United States Senator. Whilst the
so-called Regular Republican men,
bers of the General Assembly, the
party of the faction that bolted the
convention of the Republican party
at Dover, convened under the regu-
lar call of General James H. Wilson
the then chairman of the regularly
constituted Republican State Com
mittee in 1896, who, when they found
they had elected from their faction
but a small number of delegates to
that convention, and finding them
selves in hopeless minority, bolted
from the Convention, adjourned to
the capitol building, organized a
rump convention and nominated
John Higgins for Governor and Rob-
ert G. Houston for Representative
to Congress, in opposition to the
regularly nominated candidates for
said Office, John H. Hoffecker and
Jonathan Willis, who in the regu-
larly called State Convention, whose
supporters elected in this State
nearly two-thirds of the delegates
TO said convention, convened under
the call of General Wilson, the I'M
disputed chairman of the State
Committee of the Republican party
of Delaware.
The vote given tothe boilers can
didates for Governor and member OF
Congress, should have forever there
after caused them to blush with
shame for their treachery to the
Republican party of Delaware.
From the newspaper files as to the
official returns of the vote in Kent
county in 1896, ! find the boilers
$50 called Regular Republican)c can
didate for Congress received ia
votes. and in his own county of Sus-
sex. from the same files, l see that
their Congressional candidate in
Sussex county received S65 votes. l
also find that the Union Republican
ticket in the city of Wilmington had
a ma oritv over the so-called Regu-
lar Republican ticket of Dos, which
fully shows that the so-called Reg
ular Republican voters are in
hopeless minority in this State.
And notwithstanding this fact, II
men calling themselves Republicans
for whom the solid Union Republic
can voters cast their votes in Nov
embcr 1898, are day after day
changing their votes for 10 or more
persons. to try to control the IS solid
Republican members of the General
Assembly, which said 10 members
are casting their votes for J. Ed
ward Addicks, who is the over
whelming choice of the Republican
voters of Delaware for U. S. Sena-
tor, and for those 1Smen "a majority
of 7 of the men who were elected
by Republican votes) to give way
to elect any man that the voters may
dictate, they would prove themsel-
YES traitors to the Republican party.
That those 10 men will ever consent
to be ruled by the II boilers is I'M
reasonable and too unjust to pre-
sumo. That they, the majority will
submit to the dictates of the MINOR
ity, do not for one moment believe.
If the boilers (so-called Regulars)
prevent the election of the peoples
choice for Senator, they do so llrGw-
ing that it means defeat for the Re
publican party in the State for years
to come. If they succeed in pre-
venting the election of the choice of
the Republican party for Senator,
they do so, knowing that not sin
gle county officer or any officer in
the city of Wilmington, who is put
on any ticket nominated by the boil
ters will stand any chance whatever
of being elected. If these II men
defeat the election of J. Edward Adj
dicks, the Union Republican party
will nominate candidates for all
county and municipal Offices through
out the State and no man of the II
who holds out to defeat the will of
the majority of Republican voters
of this State can ever receive the
support of any Union Republican
voter, for any Office of honor, trust
or profit in the future. TO suppose
the Union Republican committees.
when hereafter appointed, will in
any way confer with or in any way
entertain any proposition for a COM
promise with boilers, is absolutely
absurd. 1t will never be done. We
will meet them at the ballot box as
enemies and traitors to the Repub-
lican party of Delaware. If major
