WORKING UNDER COVER

Is the Daily Republican, which Is
working so assiduously for Addicks
under Republican cover, entirely igno-
rant OF the effect of primary elections
on future party action? We are sure
that Il is not II knows that in every
Legislative district at the present time
Addicks has his candidates groomed
for the race at the primaries. and that
in several of the districts men who pro-
fess to be against Addicks-or who
make no professions whatever-but
who are known to be for Addicks for
United States senator, are among those
candidates These are the men the
Daily Republican is endeavoring to
protect from the Republican voters
when 1t says: The election OF a United
States senator should not be decided
before the Legislature meets. The voters
IN each hundred should select men for
the Legislature they can trust to do
their duty" There is something COM
mendable about newspaper which
comes out openly and above-board even
for what the world believes to be bad
man or a bad principle. but when 1t
betrays its readers by protesting to be
one thing and being another, It be-
comes a Judas in journalism, and the
Republicans OF the county will not be
long in discovering its duplicity,
Once more we ask the Daily Repub-
Iican this question:
DO you believe that ]. Edward Ad-
dicks is good Republican; and Mt
man to be the leader Of the Republi-
can party in Delaware. and to repre-
sent the state in the United States Sen
Ate?"

uttered by J. Edward Addicks in Phila-
delphia during the National Conven-
tion. They are almost as laughable as
some words uttered by DIR. Caleb r.
Layton, Addlcks' salaried lieutenant in
Sussex county. DR.. Layton was asked
II it were true that Addicks had prom
ised to contribute 100000 to the Ma
tional campaign fund. DR.. Layton
drew himself up, his face filled with
righteous indignation, and said: "No,
sir; Mr.. Addicks does not use his money
in politics." or words to that effect.
AddickH knows that II ever case was
decided with utter disregard for politi-
cal fairness and decency it was the
Delaware case; and all Delawareans
know 1t, too. In fact. the very men
who betrayed the Republican party in
Philadelphia and those who tacitly en-
dorsed that betrayal, knew that they
were parties TO a shady transaction
which must OF necessity but accentuate
the troubles Of the Republican party in
Delaware and bring the national party
into disrepute for its acceptance OF Ad-
dicks.

WHAT AvAlLs IT2

Here is an editorial on purer politics
from the Philadelphia Press;
Clark, OF Montana, is beginning to
find out that money will not accom-
plish everything in this world. His ex-
penditure of hundreds OF thousands of
dollars TO get a seat in the United
States Senate brought him only dis
grace before the nation. Now the
Democrats Of his own city OF Butte
have repudiated him In a contest for
delegates to the Kansas City Conven-
tion, and to get a resolution passed de-
nOuncing the charges OF bribery made
against him he ordered his followers TO
bolt the regular Democratic convention
and hold one OF their own. Clark will
head a bolting delegation 10 the Kan
sas City Convention. This is a hopeful
sign OF reform in Montana politics.
On the same day jury in Salt Lake
City found Brigham H. Roberts guilty
Of polygamy in living with Margaret
Shipp. When making his contest in
Washington for admission to the House
Of Representatives. Roberts denied that
Margaret Ship was his wife, though it
was known that she had children by
him. A jury of his own citizens have
now convicted him of breaking the law,
as well as OF lying. AS he refused to
be sworn,h can escape on technical
lty the charge of perjury. But he is
still an elder in good standing in the
Mormon Church.
II Congress had done nothing else at
its last session than to exclude Roberts
from the House and force Clark out of
the Senate. II would have made a good
record. The national seal of condemna-
ton was again set on polygamy, while
the Senate, often miscalled a million
aires club, repudiated a man who pur-
chased a seat by separating himself
from $500 900" as stated in that body
by a Democratic member OF Il. When
taken In connection with the good rec
ord the Senate made in refusing-de-
spite the most powerful corporation in
huences TO the contrary ever brought to
bear on that body-a seat to Matthew
S. Quay, the nation has reason to feel
proud Of that part OF the record Of Con-
gress.
But what about Addlcks? When the
two houses OF Congress unload them
selves of Clark. Quay and Roberts. in
what way does II avail the Republican
party when its National Convention
permits a man with the political record
OF AddIcks to obtain a seat to the ex-
clusion OF the regularly-constituted
and regularly-elected Republican dele
gates?
Addicks and Addlcksism are nation
tional issues for the Republican Ma
tlonal Convention has taken them as
part and parcel Of itself. and thereby
bound the national organization and
the national administration to coun-
tenance and support them.

Republicans Rejected
From the Morning News.

f'rcm the Morning News.
The Committee on Credentials of the
National Republican Convention decid-
ed on Tuesday night, by what was to
all intents and purposes a unanimous
vote, to place the names OF the Union
Republican delegates from this state
on the roll OF the convention. and yes
terday those delegates took their seats
This complete reversal OF the action
OF the convention OF four years ago
was in the nature Of stunning blow
at the Republican organization of Della
ware II was decision to ignore the
Republicans Of this state who have
stood for years as the supporters of Re-
publican principles and as consistent
adherents to what Republicanism
means. The rejection OF the represen-
tatiyes of the Republican party of
Delaware was blunder upon the part
OF the National Convention. II the
Republican party at large can afford
to take such a step and to notify the
world that 1t Is willing to abide by the
consequences of that ungraciOus act
let II be so. The responsibility for
what may come to pass is shifted from
uhe shoulders of those who have stood
against a bold attempt to capture the
Republican party OF this state by a man
who has no party affiliations and sees
no further than che accomplishment of
his own ends for his own personal be-
hoof
The Republicans of this state have
made a glorious fight for the right for
fve years. They have been defeated
by their own party and they now find
themselves face to face with a condi-
ton that will demand the most ser
ious consideration. We stand to-day
as we have stood for years as a sup
porter OF Republicans and Republican
principles. We have no threats and
40 promises to make. We have done
our duty as a Republican newspaper
and we have nothing to recall and moth
ing to regret so far as our course is to
be taken. We believe in the principles
Of the Republican party and we are
anxious to see Republicans elected to
hll every office in the state
We cannot speak for the Republicans
who now find themselves cast out BY
the National Convention and we can
not tell what is to come to pass. We
have discovered that the right does not
prevail at all times. but we are just as
firmly convinced now as we ever were
that the temporary elevation OF the
personal political organization that has
officially taken the place OF the real and
only Republican party is not to become
IA permanent elevation. The wrong
cannot prevail forever.
There is nothing to be said further
than to give a record of events In the
political world as they are revealed. We
can only add. in the language of the
law and in all seriousness. and with
full and keen appreciation OF what
the action of the National Convention
means, God save the state,

As 1t turns out. nevertheless, they were
right in their boasts
The whole matter is one which di.
rectly affects Republicans and they
alone can determine what the outcome
will be.
The Regulars have been unceremon-
iously driven from the position of the
recognized Republican organization
and the Union Republicans have been
given this place
Perhaps the strangest feature Of the
whole affair is the want Of an apparent
reason for the action OF the Committee
on Credentials in the Republican Ma
tional Convention.
-Four years ago the Regulars were
given sole and complete recognition by
the national party. During all the
years which followed, they alone have
been given the substantial recognition
at the hands of the national admins
tration. Why then this sudden rever-
sal?
The main plea Of the Addicks men
was that they far outnumbered their
factionist opponents yet the admins
tration had all their facts and figures
since the election Of 1886 but favored
the Regulars alone. II the plea of
numbers was so good before the con-
yentlon why was it so worthless be-
fore the administration?
The administration was fully in
formed Of the issue between the two
factions and with this knowledge gave
all 1t had to give to the Regulars.
It is stated that the position assumed
by the Union Republicans of Offering
all kinds Of compromise which were
rejected by the Regulars had much. if
not all, to do with the success of the
former. Yet the world knows that
every offer OF compromise entaiIed Ad-
dicks for senator; that they concerned
matters as to which there was no issue
1t seems rational to believe that the
committee and the convention acted as
tney did simply because they believed
that Addlcks would bolt the party II
turned down and that the Regulars
would not. For this reason the Ma
uonal Republican party has endorsed
and appoyed of Addicks and Addicks-
ism.
Evening journal., 1900-06-23

More than decade ago Addicks an
nounced his determination to become a
United States senator from Delaware.
Thus far the extent of his success has
been to obtain a seat in the National
Convention and a place on the National
Committee. He is still far removed
from the United States Senate and all
true Republicans and all patriotic
Delawareans will place themselves be-
tween him and the goal OF his ambi-
ton at the election this Fall The state
never must be disgraced by his elec-
ton to that high and honorable office
It has been disgraced enough by his
admittance to the Republican National
Convention.

Our Democratic contemporaries are
gloating over recently published state
ments that "the returns of failures in
May are much heavier than in May Of
any preceding year" They are careful
TO conceal the fact that the condition
is due solely to the failure Of one OF
the largest cotton brokerage firms in
New York with liabilities amounting
to Sl2,O00,000 in round figures. This
item brought the total for the month to
a high figure; but apart from 1t the
failures we're light to an unusual de-
gree. In May. 1897. the manufacturing
failures amounted to S4.500. 900; in May
1888, more than $5,00OOOO. while this
past May they amounted to but 81 800 =
000 In the matter OF trading failures,
in May, 1896. they were more than
s7,o00-o00; in May. 1898. more than
s5.o0o,ooo, and in May. 19O0 less than
t5.O00.o00. Under the fostering care of
a Republican Congress and a Republi-
can president the stability Of trade and
the volume OF business have increased

In an editorial on the seating OF the
Addicks delegates by the Republican
National Convention, the Milford
Chronicle, an Addicks organ, says 1t
was a death-dealing blow" to the
Republican party in Delaware. The
Republican party is just as much alive
to-day as il was before the National
Convention met. The Addicksites have
gained something nationally by their
success In Philadelphia, but they have
gained nothing locally. The Republi-
cans Of this state are as much opposed
TO Addicks to-day as they ever have
been. In fact, the duplicity practiced
in Philadelphia has made them even
more determined than ever that he
shall not profit by it. His one great
aim is to go to the United States Sen
ate He may dicker and deal with
Democrats and disappointed Republi-
cans as much as he likes, but there is
a Republican constituency in Delaware
that he can neither buy, cajole nor CO.
cree; and It will be the care
ef that constituency that the state and
the Senate never shall be disgraced by
the election OF Addlcks to an office for
which he in no sense is fitted.
