Notes.


A lady called at carnival head
quarters yesterday and wanted to buy
"A button. She left her name but was
not willing for il to be published. She
was the first woman to purchase a but
ton.
1t is proposed that the ladies adopt
the carnival belt to be decorated with
carnival buttons as a fad.

carnival race by a nose in the re-
marEably fast time of 5000 fiat for the

According to statistics furnished by
the secretary of the carnival more

THE FIRE IS BURNING

At last Addicks and his cabal have
discovered the fire that is burning un-
der them. The Union Republican
voters in all three counties are loud in
their demands for harmony and vic
tory, and threaten to desert the Ad-
dicks standard unless he consents to
drop Marshall and Layton and accept
the fair and equitable proposition
made by the Republican State Commit
tee through it's executive committee,
This forces the hand Of the Addicks
consplrators against Republicanism,
and we may expect to see them sacri-
fee Marshall and Layton to save them
selves. They must do Il. Their politl-
cal position Is so precarious that no
other course is open to them. The Re
publicans have offered to let them
name the governor cut Of list Of five
names submitted. They also have Of
fered to let them select five men from
whom the candidate for representative
I'm Congress shall be chosen. They have
done everything that honorable men
can do to bring about a harmonious
and victory producing condition. Ad-
dicks and his cabal have replied by
declaring that a Kent county man must
be the candidate for governor and that
they must select him, and that the can
didates for representative in Congress
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS shall b'
New Castle county men o
their selection. They refus'
to make any concessions com

HARMONY MOVEMENT THwARTEO

Once again Addicks and his cabal
have thwarted the Republican State
Committee in its earnest and honest
efforts to obtain harmony and a single
state ticket. and there seems TO be no
course left open for those Union Re
publicans who are desirous Of victory
at the polls in November, but to dis
claim any and all allegiance to the
gasman and his advisers who seem de-
termined to do all things possible TO
assist in the election OF the Democratic
ticket nominated On Tuesday. The Re
publican State Committee has met the
Addicks State Committee in a spirit Of
fairness. II has made propositions
which recommend themselves to all op-
ponents OF Democracy. In every in
stance It has been met by that old and
ruinous spirit OF ''Addicks or nobody" "
which has disrupted Republlcanism and
pcrpetuated the power Of Democracy in
this state
At the conference yesterday the Re
publican State Committee made th'
proposition that Martin 3. Burris, the
Republican candidate fer governor, anC
DR.. George w. Marshall, the Addick
candidate for governor. resign thei
respective places On the tickets, an'
that the Republican State Committe
submit to the Addlcks State Commit
tee the names Of five representative Re
publicans in New Castle county, fron
which list Of five names the Addick
State Committee should be permitte
to select a candidate for governor

publicans and Union Republicans. TIL
list included Martin B. Burris, Dr. Jos

RUSSIAN PROPOSALS REJECTED

The United States government is
pushing forward steadily toward the
beginning Of negotiations with the
Chinese government for a settlement
of the troubles An evidence Of its
purpose was found in its decision,
communicated yesterday to Minister
WI, to facilitate the journey Of Ii
Hung Chang to Pekin. This carries
with it the placing of a warship at
his service, If a request Of that kind be
made by Sir Robert Hart
Statements were current in the Euro
pean capitals last evening that all the
Powers had replied to the Russian
proposition; that Great Britain and
Germany had declined to evacuate Pc
kim that Austria and Italy had de-
cided to be guided by Germany's deci-
sion, and that the other Powers had
agreed to modified withdrawal.
A dispatch from Tien-Tsin says that,
according to information furnished by
Prince Ching the Chinese emperor and
the dowager empress are at Kalgan.
Baroness Won Ketteler arrived at
Tien-Tsin September 8, escorted by a
German naval detachment. Admiral
Kirchhoff made all the arrangements
to facilitate the journey Of the baro-
ness. who. after a visit to the United
States, will proceed to Germany.
The question of withdrawing the
American troops at once from PelSin is
now before the president. and a speedy
decision is expected. There are differ
ences among officials in PelIin on this
subject, and the issue is for the presl
dent to decide. The action of thu
French government in joining Russii
in orders for the withdrawal of troop
has brought about a contingency tina
will soon be met.

Gratis have in both Kent and SUISSE,
counties. In order to assure success
the great mass of Republican voters il
this county must have a candidate fol
governor whom they can respect anC
support. and the candidacy of Peter ]
Ford, q New Castle county man, on tn,
Democratic ticket, makes the selection
Of New Castle county man Tor first
place on the Republican ticket all the
more imperative.
Addicks and his cabal say they offer
ed New Castle county the representa-
tive in Congress and the Lieutenant
governor, but they fail to couple with
their statement the additional fact that
they insisted on naming the men, In
the first place, they refused to allow the
governor to come from this county.
They not only designated Kent as his
place Of residence. but had the effront-
cry to persist and insist upon one man,
refusing torecognlze the futility Of such
a course even If it were agreed TO by
Republicans.
This is the extent Of the AddiclSs ef-
fort for harmony. Now the Republf-
cans, who want harmony and victory.
demand that these things be done at
once:
First-That DR.. George w. Marshall.
the Addicks candidate for governor, be
removed from the ticket, and that the
Addicks State Committee select one of
five men nominated by the Republi-
can State Committee to fill the va
cancy.
Second-That DR.. Caleb r. Layton.
the Addicks candidate for representa-
tive in Congress, resign or be removed
from the Addicks ticket, and that the
Addicks committee nominate Ave men
from whom the Republicans shall Sc
lect candidate to fill the vacancy.
Third-That both committees pledge
their parties to support the ticket so
composed, and exert themselves to the
utmost to defeat the Democratic ticket
nominated on Tuesday, and redeem the
state from Democratic domination.
The Republican voters, irrespective
of leadership, do not ask these things.
They demand them, and they want i'm

The Democrats expect TO make this

Gated to do their duty in November
Daily Republican.
Has the Daily Republican gone clear
over to the enemy? Some months age
it drifted away from its Republican
moorings, and since then has been
pounding away in the shallow waters
Of Addicksism. Now it apparently rec
ommends the Democratic propaganda
as a thing which will educate the
voters of Delaware to do their duty in
November. This is only additional proof
tnat It is but a short drift from Ad-
dicksism to Democracy.
