SURE THEY WILL LOSETHE HOUSE,
Republican Leaders in Washington
Fear a Democratic President Too.

i Washington, April 1.-For the first
time since the opening of the Spanish
war. the republicans in the admins
tration and in congress admit that
their lines are broken and that they
are confronted with rout and defeat
The complacency which character
lied all their expressions during the
warand immediately following it has
given way to confusion, and candid
admission that they can no longer
forsee success in the coming cleo
tions.
Many OF the leaders of that party
have stated in private during the last
week that they will lose the house
undoubtedly, and that all the indi-
cations point to the defeat of their
candidate for the presidency.
North, south, east or west, their
correspondents make but one report
to the republican politicians in Wash
ington-popular dissatisfaction and
resentment over the Philippine situa-
ton, the continuation OF the war
taxes and the republican treatment
OF Puerto Rico.
In regard to the last issue, the re-
publican leaders admit that no mat
ter what action they may take now,
there is no escape from general con-
demnation Their predicament is ex-
planned in the second letter of Speaker
Henderson. Ii they pass the PueI to
Rican tariff bill. the republicans stand
condemned by their own president
for violation OF their plain duty. II

Rico, they are committed to the con-
stitutional principle asserted by the
democrats, that the constitution ap-
plies to the newly acquired territory
and they must give free trade to the
hordes of Asia taken into the United
States by their policy OF holding all
the Philippines.
There is the republican difficulty
They care little about free trade with
the Puerto Ricans. They fear to
submit to the Judgment of the Amer
lean voters their handling OF the
Philippine question if a tariff wall
cannot be built against the fifty
tribes of semi-barbarians dragged
into competition with American la
borers by a policy forced through
the senate by every power of coercion
and appeal within the power of presi-
dent Mckinley. The republican
leaders fear to go before the la boring
men with such an outcome as the res
idum of the hazy purposes they have
had for the government OF which
they have exhausted appeals about
manifest destiny" and hauling
down the flag
The hauling down of the flag in
the Philippines recently has had a
new significance. 1t is broached by
OF the highest authority
in congress that if free trade must be
had with these Asiatics, (as seems in
evitable when the Puerto Rican tariff
act is passed upon by the supreme
the proposition to abandon
the Philippines will come anew from
republican quarters, even after the
millions of treasure and thousands |
OF American lives lost during the con-
duct OF military operations in those
islands.
Their leaders admit that they will |
meet with certain defeat and that |
they cannot hold normally republi |
IAN states on the issue of free trade |
with the Philippines.

REED WINS OUT.
Democrats Candidate for Mayor Elect.
ed BY Good Majority
Kansas City Times .

Kansas City Times
James A. Reed was elected mayor
OF Kansas City, yesterday by a large
majority. 1t is probable that the
whole democratic ticket is elected
with him, with the exception of posi-
bly, i've aldermen out of fourteen.
The election was a great triumph
for the democratic party. The party
has been out power in Kansas CITY
since 1894 when it split into contend
ing factions and lost the election bv
putting two candidates for mayor in
the field. The party dissensions thus
engendered lost the democrats the
city election in 1896 and again in
1898 by maiorities of nearly 1000

think It only just that they should be

Detective Nathan IIutchins who has
charge of the men who make the ar

MUCH OPPOSITION
TO HOFFECKER
Republican Leader Repudi.
ateS Alleged Statement
Of the Former
sneclal to the Evenlne Iournal.


Smyrna. Aug. 13.-Waher o. Hof-
fecker, who has been nominated on
the short term Addicks ticket for con-
gresham, has been making an effort
to get the Republicans Of Delaware to
say they will support him. II Is re-
ported that he said while in Whining
ton last week looking after his politi-
cal interests. that every Regular in
Kent county was heartily In favor OF
him. Such is not the case. Particu-
larly is this untrue in his own district,
the First representative, also in the
Third district (Kenton hundred) Mr..
Hoffecker's alleged statement in VIII
mington has caused no little comment
here. A man prominently identified
with the Republicans told the corre-
spondent for the Evening Journal
when questioned as to how he and his
followers stood in reference to Mr..
Hodecker's candidacy for the short
term in Conress: you may say most
emphatically that We are not in favor
OF Mr.. Hoffecker as the man to sue
coed his father"
Am 1 10 understand that this Is
simply your own opinion. or do you
voice the sentiment of all the Regulars
of this district?' asked the reporter
II mean" said he, that our party
as an organization, is opposed 10 Mr.
Hofeeker, and further than this, the
same view Is entertained by the Re-
publicans of the Second and Third rep
resentative districts. We regard Mr..
Hoffecker as a strong Addicks man.
When he makes the statement that the
Regulars will vote for him he is Woe
| FUZZY Ignorant of the conditions as they
now exist Understand me, I do not
say Mr.. Honecker made this claim. I
have been informed that he did, and
have no reason to doubt my authority.

Regulars two years ago. but we have
not. Under no circumstance Will be

INSISTED UPON INQUEST
Coroner Knots Holds One over the

Special TO the Evening Journal
Smyrna, Aug 13.-Coroner Knots
came TO Clayton on Saturday after
noon and insisted upon holding an in
quest over the body OF Herbert Haines,
who was fatally shot by a negro tramp.
There was some indignation felt over
the coroner's action. as many regard
ed his ofllciousness as merely a plan
to obtain the fees resulting from the
inquisition. Mr.. Haines was shot on
Wednesday night, and did not die until
Friday. During the two days and
night sphysicians were constantly with
him, and it was not thought that the
Kent county official had the right tC
demand the inquest, but the family
gave in.
But one verdict could be rendered
that the policeman came to his deatl
by revolver wounds inflicted by an un
known negro.

Stan Correspondence Evening Journal
Dover, Aug. 13.-That the Addicks-
ties will make a determined effort to
carry the state this year by hook or
crook" is plainly evident by the meth
DDS they have adopted now that the
leaders realize that the Republicans
will not endorse their ticket or accept
any of their one-sided harmony propo-
sitions. They have gone into the busi-
ness or "colonizing" colOred men on
quite an extensive scale.
For several weeks past number OF
strange colored men have been seen in
the streets Of Dover, Camden, Milford.
and other small Kent county towns. At
first their appearance excited no sus-
picion, but since they have infected the
county in such large numbers the
Democrats and Republicans have gone
10 no little trouble and expense to find
out their business here. Detectives and
spoilers have been employed, and are
now in the employ OF the two above
named parties to gather information
regarding these strange cOlOred men,
and a vast amount of information has
been gathered AS was suspected by
the Republicans and Democrats the
Addicksites are colonizing these ne
groes for the sole purpose of voting
them at the next election.
These spoilers who are being EN-
ployed are mingling among the strang-
ers. and are gathering a great deal OF
information about them 1t has beer
| learned that the majority of them arc
from Maryland, but q great many arc

Shore of Virginia, and they say they
came here for the express purpose o.
