BOAT NOW BEING GUARDED

New Castle June I6.-Chief of Police
Berry of PHILADELPHIA and FIVE officers
from the Chester police force, who
we're here last night, believe they have
recovered the boat of George ]. Eyre,
the young Chesterman who was muir
dered last December. The boat lies
on the river shore down at Co6eld s
Beach where it was found on the
twelfth day of March by Arthur R.
Kees and his brother, young farmers
who live below this city.
That the Chester authorities were
on a mission of importance is eviden-
ced by the fact that they visited the
city late last night. They came over
from Wilmington on the 10. 80 o o'clock
car, and engaging team from R. +.
Watts, they drove to Coheld Beach
where the boat was examined. Thor
ough was the search for weeks by
which the boat could be identified as
tie one that belonged to the murdered
man, and although none of the officers
would admit that they had found the
skiff that has been looked for, since
the murder, it is believed that it is
the one inasmuch as a Waterman now
guards the skif.
1t was ? o'clock when Chief Berry
and his fellow officers returned to the
city. They were unable to reach
Wilmington by trolley or rail and
were therefore compelled to walk to
Wilmington from which place they
went to Chester by rail.
The skiff that may prove to be the
one owned by Eyre is an ordinary
boat that was pulled from the river by
the Kee brothers at a time when every
effort was being made TO locate the
skiff They informed the Chester
authorities of their find and although
officers of that city came here four
months ago to look at the skiff they
would not say that it was the skifi
they wanted. Since that time frequent
inspections of the boat have been
made, and on Wednesday night a
detective of the Philadelphia force
made another examination. What his
conclusion was is unknown, but the
fact that the Chester officers were here
last night almost confirms the general
belief that the skiff here is the one in
which George B. Eyre was murdered
and should it prove so; New Castle
will have furnished much toward
solving the terrible murder problem.

Says a leading Republican newspaper
of Philadelphia: but in Delaware the
committee must again contend with
the intolerable Addicks and his crew Of
irregulars. The precedent Of taking
Addicks by the scum of the neck and
landing him outside the convention
was established at ST. Louis in 1896
and the indications are that Senator
Hannas Committee will instruct its
secretary not TO place his name and
those Of his piratical crew on the roll
Of delegates, and to this extent obstruc
his efforts to crowd into decent com
pany" What Delaware Republican,
cannot understand is why any Of th'
members Of the Republican Nationa
] Committee should desire to go benin,
the decision Of the ST. Louis Conven
: tion. Il was based on Addicks' poliu
} cal record. Since that time he la
, prevented the election Of a Republican

In all parts Of Delaware the final de-
feat Of Addicks is looked forward to
with qualification. 1t is felt that such
defeat will cure the Republican party
Of its worst disease and put it on a
sound and substantial footing to re-
deem the state from Democratic mis-
rule. There is not a Republican in the
state who doesn't want to see him
turned down by the National Conven-
ton Reputation of his Republican
pretensions will result in the speedy
and absolute disintegration of hi
forces and rehabilitate the Republican
party in all three counties.

When the best party manhood is
called for TO complete the work OF

That the Philadelphia Inquirer is a
Quay organ. and about the only news
paper OF standing in Philadelphia that
Quay has, is well known in political
circles. Hence it is not surprising that
the Inquirer should take up the cause
Of Addicks, for Quay is Addicks' friend
and their interests are mutual.

NO cOMPRoMIsE MIA AnnIcKs

There can be no compromise between
Addicks and the Republicans, but, with
Addicks eliminated and his independ-
ent and party-wrecking organization
dissolved, the Republican party would
experience no difficulty in carrying the
election this Fall to a successful issue.
If Addicks were Republican and If his
organization we're Republican in its
principles and practices ther would be
a basis for a mutual agreement. But,
under circumstances as they exist,
compromise with Addcks is wholly
out Of the question. Delaware Repub-
licans commend their representatives
in Philadelphia for the firm stand they
have taken against all such overtures.
For the Republican party OF Delaware
to lend Addicks part OF its name and
respectability with which to cover his
political practices would be
suicidal 1t cannot be dreamed of for
an instant.
