MARSHALL AND HAYES

From the fountainhead Of Addicks-
ism comes the fiat that DR.. George w.
Marshall, OF Milford. must be nomi-
mated for governor, and Walter II.
Hayes, of this city. for attorney gen
eral, and that they will not be with
drawn from the field for the sake of
harmony and victory this Fall.
Republicans cannot support these
men for the offices for which they have
been slated by the Addickslte leaders.
With the possible exception of Ad-
dicks. Alice and Layton, no two men
in the state are more hateful to Della
ware Republicans than DR.. Marshall
and Mr.. Hayes. Beth have done all in
their power at all times TO defeat Re
publican candidates and wreck the Re
publican party. and both are the sub
servient creatures of Addicks. Both
We're parties to the several deadlocks
instituted by Addicks. and both were
active participants in the conspiracy
which defeated the Republican ticket
in this city last year and turned the
municipality over to Democratic con-
troll In addition to this. neither man
is possessed OF the high attributes de-
manded by the office for which ne has
been designated by his fellow -conspira-

vided support in this campaign, but
that, in local politics they would con-
tinue their fight against Addicks and
accomplish his defeat
After the convention DR.. Caleb R.
Layton. the salaried Addicks lieuten-
ant in Sussex county, gave an inter
view in which he cut the Addicks
promise in two. reducing the Mckinley
majority TO 5000.
Within the last three weeks the Ad-
dicl5site leaders have given it out that
Mckinley may carry the state, but they
are not fully assured of the fact.
We wish to say TO these political pi-
rates that they cannot defeat President
Mckinley in Delaware. lie will have
the full and active support of every
Republican. and if the Addicksite lead
ers were 10 pass the word along the
line of their followers to defeat McKin-
ley and elect Bryan. the order would
cause a revolt that all the money OF
the gasman could not subdue
No; the Addicksite leaders will not
knife Mckinley. because it Is beyond
their power. Many OF them would be
only too glad to do Il: but the temper
Of their followers Is such that they
will fall in behind the Republicans,
vote for the Mckinley electors and as
5ist in their election.

ADDlCKS PROMISES

If you will seat our delegation we
will pledge ourselves to defeat both the
Democrats and Regular Republicans
That was the declaration made before
the National Committee on Credentials
by one OF the representatives Of the
Addiclrsites four weeks ago The Ad-
dicks delegation was seated, the Ma
tional Convention performed its work
and adjourned. and the Addickhite
leaders came home.
They had sent the word along the
line: Don't crow about our victory
We want to rope the Republicans in,
and the less said at this particular time
the better it will be for us"
When they arrived home they we're
surprised to find that the Republicans,
far from being overwhelmed by the
recognition which had been accorded
the Addicksites, were more determined
than ever TO resent the pretensions Of
Addicks and to defeat him.
Then the tune Of the Addicksite lead
ers changed They threatened and
abused the Republicans. but all to no
purpose. Now they sit around and
whimper and fret and fume because
they know and admit that without the
assistance of the Republicans they can
not carry a county in the state.
There is but one reasonable and SEN
sible course for the followers Of these
Addicksite leaders to pursue. It is to
leave Addicks 10 his own devices and
give their support 10 the legitimate Re-
publican national and state ticket that
will be nominated in the Grand Opera
House this city. on August 2l. AS a
further proof Of their good sense and
party loyalty they can help elect the
several county tickets put in nomina-
tlon by the Republicans.

Sir: On July 2S it was published

another example of how far from its

has drifted under the leadership Of
Bryan and his associates. The Demo-
Gratis, Silver Republicans and Populists
out there have decided TO fuse, and the
Populists have enough faith in the
Populism of Bryan TO withdraw their
