From The suns staff Correspondent.

| From The suns StaH Correspondents.
| Philadelphia, June 1S.-Every Della
warean in the corridors OF the Hotel
Walton today, as they mingled with the
convention throng and discussed the
Delaware contest, and the chances OF
either or each of the Diamond State dele
cations being seated in the National Re
publican Convention encountered reVo-
luton of feeling among the Antl-Addlcks
contingent of Delaware Republicans.
The revolution is directed toward Col.
Henry A. du Pont and his small list OF
Federal Office holders, who reside in
New Castle County. The stubborn de-
termination OF du Pont, National Com
mitteman Henry B. Thompson, Post
master. Hugh O. Browne and District
Attorney, William Michael Byrne to re-
fuse all offers Of harmony, and plans OF
compromise extended by the Union Re-
pubjicans would seem to have caused
this revolution.
This revolt defeats the desire OF Col.
du Pont to wreck the Republican party
in Delaware. No matter what the result
Of the Delaware contest before the con-
yention tomorrow the stampede OF get
together Republicans from the ranks OF
the Anti -Addicks Republicans to the
Union Republican party will continue
until the fall campaign, so important to
the little state along the Delaware, will
open with virtually one ticket in the
field.
Four Anti-Addicks Republicans from
Delaware, who have been allied with the
bolter Republican organization because
they believed it sincere, came to your
) correspondent today wearing. badges OF
. the Union Republican party OF Delaware.

they said. "No man would want any
.faction to make more sweeping offers
than the Union Republicans have made
to Colonel du Pont and the du Pont Re-
pubicans. We are now with the Union
Republicans. We believe they want q
union Of the party and we intend to helr
them fight the Democrats"
Such outbursts were Of frequent occur
1t ence around the corridors of the Walton
e today. Union Republicans, and there
!. are scores of them in the city today, were
% greeted everywhere by the get-to-gethel
element, who declare themselves ready
y to go into common primaries and leave
g the du Pont Republicans with the Dem
. ocrats.
j. On every Delawarean's tongue tonight
is the crv, "du Pont and his boters are
! defeated
e Union Republicans Pleased.
e Union Republicans here tonight say
n they have every reason to be pleased
Us with the situation and the outlook so fal
le as the seating uf delegates in the conven
le tion is concerned 1t is very generally
conceded that the du Pont aggregation
hasn't the sie htest chance OF winning
seats on the floor of the convention
There is also a strong feeling, occasionee
a bv action of the National Committee
J. that neither delegations will be placed
Of on the permanent roll call of the con
vent The latter action will be sub
stantial victory for the Union Republi
cans.
N Today has been spent by both Uniol
II Republicans and the du Pont men il
