Never Can be Senator

From the Sussex Republican.
The National Republican Convention
at its recent session seated the Ad-
dicks delegates. Such a decision was
contrary to what was expected, but the
Republicans were not entirely unpre-
pared for il. II is greatly to be re-
gretted that the committees should
have failed to recognize the real issues
at stake in this state and should have
permitted themselves to have been mis-
led by the specious promises Of Ad-
dicks and his henchmen. 1t does not
however, materially effect the situa-
uon. The Republicans have opposed
Addicks because OF his unfitness for the
position CT United States senator and
for this reason could not be persuaded
or influenced by the National Commit
tee into assuming any responsibility for
Addicks. 10 is needless to say that the
Republicans who were able to stand up
against the powers which dominated
the National Convention are not moved
one particle from the position OF eternal
opposition to Addicks. The fight viii
go on just as though no National Con-
yention had considered the matter Mr.
Addicks can not buy the stalwart Re
pubicans OF the State of Delaware. He
may buy hoaters; he may buy leaders;
he may even buy his way into National
Republican Convention, but he can not
buy enough to make him Delaware f
representative in the Senate OF the
United States.
To the Republicans OF this county
who have refused to be debauched by
this political renegade and his paid
heelers, we say--stand fast by the posi-
tion you have assumed in the past and
the victory is ours. Without your votes
II Is impossible for him to win, and
remember, that although the true Re
puhlicanism you represent may have
received a setback temporarily, yei
right is bound 10 prevail and that Ad-
dicks is yet a long way of from the
senatorship. He can never be United
States senator from Delaware.

Defeated. Not Conquered

From Peninsula News and Advertiser
The contest between the two oppos-
ing delegations from Delaware for
seats in the Republican National Con-
vention has been decided in favor OF
the followers of Mr.. Addicks, and the
first great contest OF 1900 is ended.
The Regular Republicans, conscious
OF the integrity OF their motives, pre-
sented their case in as strong and dig
nified a manner as possible; they were
turned down by the Credential Com
mittee, and the decision of the con-
vention OF four years ago was reversed
There is no use in explanations; the
motives actuating those in authority
are well understood by all well in
formed men. The National Convention
is the court of last resort in all matters
which pertain to the national party;
It becomes the duty of all good Re
publicans to respect its decision.
We believe that all men Of our party
I'm the state will enthusiastically sup
port the ticket nominated in Philadel-
Ihia; il will not only be esteemed a
duty but pleasure; but there the au-
thority of the national body ceases. In
state affairs we shall allow no one toin.
terfere, and the Republicans will con-
tinue the fight for purity Of the ballot
and against the election Of any free
booter to the Senate.
The temper of the delegation was
shown in their unanimous rejection o.
a proposition for the seating Of a hall
delegation OF each faction. They said
we have been regularly elected to the
convention, and have no authority tC
accept anything but full representa-.
ton; besides, no man would agree tC
sit with the chief wrecher Of the Re-
publican party in Delaware.
With the rank and file of Union Re.
publicans we have no quarrel, but tC
their leader we pledge our unwaverinl
hostility in his political ambitions, anC
shall pursue the same determined
course in the future as in the past Il
j. Edward Addicks ever becomes a sen.
ator, it will be in the face Of Regular
Republican hostility.

Gumby RetaIiated WIth Scrinlu,o


Alfred Gumby, the popular co,oro

ger station of the p. w. e B.. raiIroa
recently nad an encounter with a whit
preacher and 1t puzzles the hoot
black to determine who was the WHINE
in the contest.
The beginning dates back severa
days ago when one Of Gumbv's natron
presented to him a bottle of carniva
whiskey. Gumby does not drink anv
thing Intoxicating but took the bottl
OF spirits and thanked the donor. nj,
placed the bottle in his hip pocket an,
the end of the flask protruded to sucl
an extent that it was possible for I
close observer to discern that the bottl,
contained whiskey.
Inc preacher referred to approached
the stand to have his shoes shined but
seeing the bottle in Gumby's pocket
turned away in disgust.
Ihe 1a9t OF losing a nickel over 3
bottle OF whiskey provoked Gumby anC
Was not according to his idea Of a wei

whiskey to one OF the railroad porters

preached Gumby stand after being in
formed by Special Officer John Gordy
that Gumby was strictly temperate and
a total abstainer.
A1er the preachers shoes were

for having had a bottle Of whiskey in
his possessions

Stopping Gumby in his work the
divine said, young man, don't you
know what the good book says about
putting the cup to his brothers lips?''
Gumby replied that he did and began
to quote scripture to the preacher at
such rapid rate and of such an irrele-
want nature that the man of God was
glad to escape.
Simon Chase says that Cal" Gumby

There has been a distressing and ia.
tai accident on the Wilmington and
Brandywine Springs railway. 1t was
due TO permitting passengers in a
crowded car 10 ride on the footboard

more fatalities have not attended this
practice, which has been growing year
by year. II is not confined to the Will
mington and Brandywine Springs rail-
way, but embraces every trolley road
in this section both within and with
out the city. In their eagerness to go
to some popular place OF amusement
or home after an evening spent at
some such place, passengers will take
many risks, most common OF which is
this OF riding on the footboards. Even
if the companies would provide cars
adequate in number to transport al

would rush and crowd the footboards

REPuBLIcA N CONSISTENCY

The Regular Republicans are not yet
compelled to accept Mr.. Addic1s and
his leadership. BY firmly maintaining
their organization and holding their
forces together, by refusing all affilia-
tion with or recognition of the Addicks
candidates rc,t November, as they so
consistently refused affiliation Oh polit-
ical association with the Union Repub-
lican delegates in Philadelphia, they
can make sure OF Mr.. Addicks' defeat.
BY voting the Democratic ticket they
can make his defeat all the more de-
cisive.-Dover Delawarean.
1t is not the intention Of the Repub-
llcans OF Delaware to accept Mr., Ad-
dicks and his leadership. That was
stated fully and specifically to the Ma
tional Committee and the Committee
on Credentials. At no time during the
various negotiations in Philadelphia
was there anything but a positive re-
fusal to recognize the Republleanism
of Mr. Addicks That refusal was ig-
nored by the national organization,
and IL has made an outrageous aud
wholly unwarranted attempt TO force
the leadership OF Mr.. Addicks on the
Republicans, despite their earnest pre-
tests and in the face OF their positive
assurances that Addlcks Is a party
wrecker and in no sense a Republican
One Of the grounds Of the fight made
against the recognition of Addicks was
that he had trafficked with and assisted
Democrats. The Republicans OF Della
ware never will place themselves in a
position which will justify the Ad-
dicksites in making counter-charges
Of like character. They do not intend
70 help the Democrats or to vote the
Democratic ticket They do not be-
lieve in Democratic principles and can
not endorse them. But they have their
own principles and their own organiza-
tion, and IL is their intention to main
tain and sustain them. Insofar as Della
ware is concerned there is no change in
the situation which has any vital effect
on Republicans The Republicans have
their party and Mr. Addicks has his.
Between the lines there stands a waver-
ing constituency known as the want
town element in Republican politics.
II has been there for years, and there It
viii remain, for many OF Its members
are ashamed to so to Addicks and
afraid to stand out boldly in defense OF
their principles. Some OF the members
Of this constituency which stands be-
twesn the lines should be ashamed OF
their eQuivccal attitude. 1t would be
far better to have the lines between
Republicanism and Addicksism plainly
drawn, and the ground between left
clear for the fight to a finish, which, OF
necessity, must continue. This is no
time for any Republican to give COM
fort to Addicks and Addicksites by pur-
suing a temporizing and conciliatory
policy. Addiclsism is just as bad, with
the seal Of national approval on IT, a;
it was when IL bore the seal Of national
disapproval, and every Republican
knows it.
There is but one proper and consis
tent course for Republicans to pursue
in this campaign. That is to stand trul
to Republican principles and comha
Organism. Addicksism and every othe'
ism that is inimical to Republican an'
state and national interests.

Lines Upon the Death of Mrs. William
II. Curry.

H. curry.
In the sprlngtime while all natarC
awakes
To brightness and beauty from Win
ter's cold sleep,
And the proclaiming OF Easter tidings
makes
Glad the Christian world with songs
loud and deep,
Then-eyen then-Death, the relentless
foe,
Silently crept within the beloved
home,
And with his keen scythe and unerrlng g
blow
Felled a beloved member, making
sorrow and woe
It's hard to realize that no more she'll
greet
The welcome guest in that once
happy home,
Or again within the church she loved
resume a seat,
Or join in the hymns OF praise as she
long had done.
1t is not always the length OF time or
kindred ties,
That the strength of friendship doth
cement,
Nor display Of eloquent words or tears
and deep signs,
That denote the deepest bereavement.
Some Of the grandest thoughts are
never spoken,
Either by the mouth or imprinted on
a page,
Yet nevertheless they lay bright and
unbroken,
In the vault of memory for many an
age;
A kindness shown TO some is ne'er for
got
Although a trihe others methinks
would deem.
And like waves of the ocean erase the
spot
They impressed upon its pebbly,
sandy stream.
