CONCESSIONS AND AGREEMENT.


-Addicksites ideas of compromise
with Union Republicans are all demands
-a kind of take all and give nothing
compromise.
Just now there is great deal of talk
about choosing gubernatorial candl-
date from New Castle county among
the Anti Addcksites, but we do not re-
member hearing any of them suggest I
the nomination Of Il New Castle county
Union Republican for governor; nor 90
We remember amy suggestions about con
ceding 10 the Union Republicans amy Of
the other points in dispute.
The origin Of the dispute that
cfuSed the bolt from the Rephhll-
can party in 1896, was deter
minntion Of the Anti Addicksites 70
defeat the Union Republican candidate
for United States Senator and y ptr-
suit Of that purpose they divided the
Republican vote Of that year upon the
state ticket ii order t. help the Demo
crafts defeat the Union Republicans and
elect the Democratic State ticket ana
elect il majority of the members Of the
legislature. Ii must not he forgotten
ut this time, that i'll order to prevent
tbe election Of Il Union Republican
United States Senator, the Antl-Ad-
: dicksitps prevented the Republicans Of
d Delaware from electing i governor ana
le that they are persisting iii that purpose
le now. Their demand that they, the Anti
lg Addickstes. be allowed to name the Re-
Y publican candidate for governor IS a
~ part Of the plan to repeat in 1900 what
II they did III 1896 and in 1898. The Anti
