that could be desired aud would represent
Delaware in an honorable manner.
1t is about time to stop this childs play.
If Republicans have just reasons for re-
fu.ing to vote for Mr.. Addicks no one can
help the course they intend pursuing. One
thing can be safely said so far "a this hun
drsd is concprnel in 1900 no Republican
can be elected without the united support
OF Regular and Union Republicans.

outsiders are concerned. Let political
leaders In other states fry their own fish
