He entered the Senatorial a,

Massey, to defeat the reelection o.
Senator Anthony Higgins, as The
motive of tie first part, 1.-THE "Sun'
lies. And to prevent the election oI
any Republican candidate as the mo
tive Of the second part. (Another lie.
In b,.th these prpoes the Mass.y trick
succeeded. Senator Higgins was
caught in the trap laid for him, gave
Colonel du Pont all ihe follow ing Ii,
had in the Safe Assembly, and has
been rewarded for his gedero iity by the
continued opposition of Colonel du
Pont ever since.
In the State campaign of 1896 Col.
du Pont, pressing his repudiated claims
for Senatorial honors, came to the
front as a Republican party leader
seconded oy Senator Anthony Higgins
and Mr.. Washington Hastings, their
political friends giving him all the sup
port he had in attempting to control
the Republican State Convention of
that year. Despite the efforts of his
able lieutenanIs, the Republicans voters
Of the State repudiated the coIonel's
claims. The State Convention was
hopelessly against him. PURCHASED
by Doodle. To retain a semblance of
his Senatorial and leadership claims his
friends, under the direction of Mr..
Hastings, inaugurated the disastrous
bolt which eliminated in the farcical
proceedings at the National RepubIi-
can Convention al ST. Louis. ("Far-
cicap is good. There is one Republi-
can Party in the Nation to-day and
Addicks is not member of it, As a
result Of that bolt Colonel du Pont
became the patronage dispenser of

city defeated Mr.. Hastings' application
for appointment to the postmastership

Colonel du Points colleague in the
dispensing of Presidential favors was

is authority for saying that in the

appointments to Federal offices here
should be evenly divided between

from the State Colonel du Pont refused
to recognize any Union Republican
applicants for positions; in this he vio-

pose of controlling the Senatorial situa-

On the purely personal side of Re-
publican politics, these facts show that
Colonel du Pont represents a betrayal
II his friends and the defeat of the Re-
party in this State.
On the political side, anent party in

ionalism and defeat. The bolt of 1896,
