DIcTATOR's THREAT

When DIT. Caleb r. Layton, the Ad-
dicks leader and dictator in Sussex
county. declared that II the National
Convention refused to seat the Addicks
delegates the Addicbs men would give
Bryan a majority Of from 5000 to 1000
in the State Of Delaware, he doubtless
believed that II would create conster-
nation among the friends OF President
Mckinley. On the contrary, It has
strengthened the position Of the Nc
Kinley men in Delaware. weakened the
Addicks cause and brought down upon
the heads OF the Addicks leaders a
storm OF public execration. No doubt by
this time Dr. Layton is sincerely sorry
that he made the reasonable declara-
ton
Both the Republican and the Ad-
dicks organizations claim to be the
Republican party in Delaware. The
National Convention is the judge of
the merits OF the respective claims. As
a judge, it is supposed to be impartial
in ali respects. weighing the evidenc,
carefully and cOnscienuously and de.
livering a righteous verdict Here W,
have the Addicks machine threatenin,
the court Of last resort with summar,
vengeance II il does not decide in favor
Of the Addicks delegation. The pro
ceeding is a most scandalous one, bu
It is in keeping with the past histor.
and conduct Of the Addicks leaders
For many years they have been say
ing "Addicks. or nobody" to the r,
publican party of Delaware, and mo-
they say It to the Republican party {
the United States. Itisa bold, outrageol
attempt 10 coerce the judgment Of n
National Convention. but that body
accustomed TO dealing with such malcol
tents. and a political organization whiC
goes before it in such a spirit invai
ably receives the summary treatme
II deserves.

PROPOSED CONFERENCE
DID NOT TAKE PLACE

There is apparently some mystery
about the proposed conference between
the Street and Sewer Directors and the
Finance Committee Of City Council re-
garding the disposition of the city's
money now in the hands of City Treas
urer w. L. Hamann.
On Friday afternoon last James
Kane, chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, and members Of the Street
and Sewer Department held an in
formal conference in the mayors office
on the subject AS no other members
Of the Finance Committee were pres
ent, Mr. Kane announced that another
meeting would be held on Saturday az
ternOon at 3 o'clock. At the hour named,
however, no one was present, although
several directors of the Street and
Sewer Department called up by tele-
phone to ascertain if the meeting
would be held.
As there seemed to be some misun-
! derstanding on the subject, some OF
the members of the Finance Commit
tee were called up, but all expressed
/ ignorance of the proposed meeting
/ What Mr.. Kane's idea was in calling
a meeting Of the committee, or whai
would have been the result had the
meeting taken place. seems to be ar
obscure point In the meantime, CITY
Treasurer Hamann holds the disputed
money, and will continue to do so unit
he has legal advice to the contrary

IL: hence they are safe in making the
assertion. The Republican delegates
viii be seated with full vote on every
question. and the Addicks delegates
will be rebuked for their presumption
in seeking admittance to the conven-
ton.
Really, the Addicks leaders are
hungry for recognition by the national
organization. Their whole vote dec
laration is a mere pretense. They
would be but too glad to obtain recog-
milton TO the extent of half-vote.
That is what they are working for and
more than they expect to obtain. With
their organization in process OF de-
cay, and knowing that failure to OBJ
tain recognition from the National
Convention means utter dlsintegration
1t is not a matter Of wonder that Mr..
Addicks and Mr.. Alice are making such
frequent trips to Washington, and de-
meaning themselves in such an Inn
Fortunate manner in the rooms OF the
Republican National Committee
Feeling sure Of their ground in the
controversy the Republicans OF the
state are as qulescent with respect to
this matter as sthe Addicksites are frantic.
The difference Is so marked that everyone
notices It, and from one end OF the
state to the other the sentiment is that
there can be but one result, which is
that the contest will end in another
signal victory for Delaware Republi-
cans.

sition in the office of the water COM
mission as substitute for H. G. Van
Dusen. who is in California on r vSsa-

the position would be permanent or
not, nor whether the law precluSed the
privilege Of one holding two positions
under the city government at the same
time. The matter was referred to the
city attorney for an opinion at the next

that there has been much fuss and
furry for nothing. Mr. Van Dusen will
in all probability return to his post
the first OF the month after which time
