KNOWLES MOVE NiPPEp IN THE BUD.
1t was intimated Just before the after
noon session that a resolution would be
offered by Wilmington delegate sub
stitutipg the name of Horace G.
Knowles Of Wilmington for that Of
DR.. Caleb r. Layton of Georgetown for
member of Congress for the full term,
but no such motion was made and the
effort was probably nipped In the bud.
FOR A SINGLE TICKET.
1t is certain, Judging from what
TRANSFERRED, that an effort will be made
by the State committees Of the two fac
tions to bring about single ticket.
DIR. Caleb R. Layton, the candidate for
member Of Congress for the full term,
intimated that his withdrawal would
not be surprising. In fact, he said he
would offer no objection il such a
course were necessary for the success OF
the ticket. The convention gave the
State Central Committee power and di-
rected it to work for single ticket by
adopting the following on the recon-
mendation of Athe committee on resolu-
tions:
Resolved, That the State Central
Committee Of the Union Republican
party is hereby empowered and di-
rected to continue their former efforts
in the direction Of united party, and
in pursuit of this object is endowed
with full power to fill all vacancies
that may happen in the nominations
made by this convention and to remove
amy candidate here named in order thai
one ticket may be secured for all Re-
publioans Of this State. :"
NO ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
The only breeze in the convention de
veloped when an effort was made t.
have an advisory committee to the Stat,
Central Committee appointed. Mr.
Addicks opposed the motion and it wa
voted down.
DR.. Hiram R. Burton moved that al
advisory committee of eight, two from
each district, be appointed to assist tn
State Central Committee.
Mr.. Addioks was on mis- feet imme
diately. He said he would not like +
see such a committee appointed. Til
State Central Committee had been ap
pointed to do the work and an advisor
committee would simply complicat
matters and multiply trouble.
S. John Abbott was also opposed {
the motion on the same ground
DR.. Caleb r. Layton said he was i
favor OF DR.. Burton's motion, but
did not go far enough, and, he mad
an amendment to the effect that 9TH
convention to man resolve itself int
committee Of the whole as an advisor
committee. !"
This did not meet with the approx;
of DR.. Burton, and he took occasion I
remark that what is everybody's bus
ness is nobody's business.
u Deputy Sheriff Francis S. Bradley
New Castle county said he thought q
advisory committee would be useles
The bject of such committee,
said, would be to confer with simil
committee of the other faction, and
their convention has adjourned al
they cannot appoint such a committe
one would be useless. He believed Il
State Central Committee was fully alb
to take care of the campaign.
Stansbury j. Wiley was opposed
the amendment and the motion. d
Layton said all were for harmony.
Mr.. Addioks called for the questi
on the amendment and expressed t
hope that it would prevail. T
amendment was carried, few vot
against it, hut the motion as amend
was:lost by large majority.
The result was accepted by Mr.. A
dicks and DR.. Burton with good graf
Mr.. Addicks laughed and DIR. Burt
remarked, with smile: This &C
vention, of course, or all, in fact,
in favor of harmony and this couvt
tion is committee Of the whole"
PLATFORM REAFFIRMEp.
The committee on resolutions
ported as follows:
'.The Union Republicans in ST
convention assembled reaffrm tn
platform of August 9th, 1900. and
an addition thereto pledge themsel
to, by constitutional amendment,
