LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Determined to Down Addicks
he Editor Evening Journal.

TO the Editor Evening Journal.
Sir: AS by agreement for a meeting.
as reported in my last letter, the Re-
publicans of Little Creek met Wednes-
day evening, and a full explanation
was made by G. e. Smith as to the ac-
tions of the Republican delegates elect
ed from Delaware to attend the Ma
tional Convention. held in Philadel-
phia. 1t was agreed, after the statement
given, that the Republicans of Little
Greek fully endorse the action OF their
delegates to the convention, and to
stand by them in the future with their
support. as in the past, as the true lead
ers Of the Republican party in Della
ware. Mr.. Editor, to more fully ex-
press to you the sentiments Of our
meeting, / quote one man, who said:
AT this election l will have been
voter sixty years; as a Whig till 1850,
and Lincoln Republican every since,
and ! say to you this evening that If
Mckinley and my party in Delaware,
at this election, make a compromise
with Addicks | shall cast the last vote
| shall ever hope to cast for a Democ-
racy worse than that of the old Whig
times, though, as will regard it. as far
better with Kenney, Handy. Bryan and
Altgeld than Addicks and Mark
Hanna" Therefore Mr.. Editor, / can
state to you, and through you to the
Republicans of the state. that the SEN
,timent in Sussex among Republicans OF
the state that the sentiment in Sussex
among Republicans is to stick to the
true party and to the true tleaders Of
that party in spite of what Mark Han
ma, Mat Quay and Tom Plat may do,
and if McKinley's election depends
upon the taking of Addicks into camp to
get the three votes of Delaware to en-
sure his election, they Will not swallow
the dose, but will take the decayed Del
aware Democracy with Kenney, Han
I dy and Salisbury in preference il that
is to be the issue in this campaign.
This is not meant as a threat. but as
the better part Of principle for the
honest men of Delaware will not swal-
low Addicks even though he comes to
their doors with credentials Of Hanna's s
National Committee or the patronage
of a Mckinley. Delaware is a small
/ state, but its representatives were the
first who had the courage to sign the
. Declaration Of Independence, and
though smaller to-day than Ohio, II
has sons within its borders who will
not allow j. Edward Addicks to enter
within it's doors.
If Mckinley is defeated he cannot
blame the true Republicans of Della
ware but must look to the Hanna deal
with Addicks.
A SUSSEX REPUBLICAN.

EWSPAPER OPINION
These Are Grave Charges

From the Dover Delawarean.
In its last issue the Delaware Pilot
editorially said:
I'VE believe that Farlow, King and
Clark were Influenced to turn traitors
to their party by men Of standing in
the Democratic ranks. We believe
there are to-day in the Democratic
party men in the pay of Addicks who
will use every effort to control the
primaries and secure the nomination
of men who can be induced for a con-
sideration to vote for Addieks for
United States senator. We believe
there are traitors in the camp, whose
sole object Of affiliation with Demo-
Gratis is to betray them to the enemy.
Loyal Democrats should be on their
guard, and see that no candidate is
nominated or If nominated elected, who
is not above suspicion"
These are very grave charges, and
when formulated by a paper possessing
the standing in, and confidence of the
Democratic party which the Pilot does,
they are given added weight. The
Pilot speaks with a straighhtforward-
ness and emphasis in this matter
which should only accompany almost
certain knowledge of the existence of
the facts which it suggests and this
makes the matter all the more grave,
For ourselves we are reluctant to be-
lieve that there is in the state to-day
a responsible or prominent man OF
ayowed Democratic principles who
would be willing to betray his party in
the manner suggested by the Pilot. But
| If there be and this man or these men
are in a position to work injury to the
party's chances for success in the com
in a campaign. we unhesitatngly urge
that it is the duty of those in posses
sion OF facts which will lead to theil
/ detection to speak now, that the trul
party membership may be put on it.
guard against their Vaccinations.
We agree with the Pilot when il
says. Loyal Democrats should be OF
/ their guard and see that no candidate
is nominated. or if nominated, elected
who is not above suspicion" But w
would go further We believe that il
every voting precinct in the state ther
are men who thoroughly know thu
makeup, antecedents and principles o
the voters of their precinct and espe
cially of the men who will seek at tn
/ primary elections the support of thei
fellow voters for nominations to fill tn
various positions. Upon these men il
our estimation, in the light of sucl
charges as are above made. lies an i'm
portant responsibility. They have
function to perform which they canno
ignore nor slight If they have reaso
to believe or especially TO know thatan
one seeking political honor is traito
they should make the fact so puhlicl
known that no voter need be hood
winked.
The issues at stake are vital, il vii
not do to take any chances.

In another column we print a letter
from a prominent Republican in Sus-
sex county. While it shows the ear
nestness Of the Republicans in that
section Of the state in their opposition
to Addicks, il also manifests their re-
sentiment Of the action of the National
Convention in giving him recognition.
But we would remind those Sussex
countians that their delegates to the
Philadelphia Convention gave a certain
pledge which they expect and demand
that those whom they represented live
up to. II was that, whatever the out
come OF the Delaware case, the Repub-
licans of this state would give the
Republican national ticket their ear
nest and unqualified support This be-
ing true, the duty of the Republican
voter is plain-support and elect Nc
Kinley; fight and defeat Addicks. By
so doing he will bring a blessing to the
nation and remove a curse from Della

will be. No man, or set OF men, can
afford to defeat the win OF the people
again.-Milford Chronicle.
But one thing stands between the
Democratic party and defeat in Della

they have come TO rely upon it for their
salvation The Republicans are true tc
themselves and will continue to be, bui
that is no assurance that Addioks and
his men will not attempt to defeat the

them to say. They have done 1t re

know that the Democrats are expecting

DEMOCRATIC flNANclERINe

The financial showing of the Demo-
cratic City Council of this city is in
keeping with that Of the Democratic
Levy Court of this county. In closing
its fiscal year it reports a balance of
A,126.4S to the credit of the city. In
other words, il has spent all the money
raised by taxes; all the money con-
tributed by the Board of Water
Commissioners and about $35.s0O of
the $4,000 borrowed from the First
National Bank. It's deficit, after max
ing charitable allowance for a loan of
$4,000 paid off, is nearly $4,000.
For political reasons the tax rate was
not raised this year. although it was
an of year in city politics Next year,
with the city campaign on, the coun-
cilmen will not dare take such a step
so, we presume, when the Legislature
meets this Winter we shall see the Law
and Finance Committees OF City Coun-
Gil down in Dover working to obtain
the passage of bills funding the float
ing Indebtedness and increasing tn,
bonded indebtedness. That is Demo
cratic ilnanciering.
We wonder how long it will be before
the taxpayers OF the city and count,
will tire of keeping in power this part,
which persists in nominating its mos
pronounced incompetents for positions
Of trust in the public service.

Bradstreets treats Of trade condi-
tions as follows:
Distributive trade is dull. season
ably so N most instances, and prices
of manufactured products are generally
weak. but exceptions TO the former are
found where crop conditions are ex-
ceptionally promising, and in the case
OF prices where the readjustment move
rent has been overdone on the down
side.
Railway earnings negative the early
predictions Of a widespread slump in
business, showing, as they do, contin-
ued satisfactory gains over a year ago.
Clearings are smaller than of late, re-
flecting some quieting down in specula-
ton, but fail to show a widening un-
favorable margin as compared with
last year. With the exception of wheat,
farm products generally are higher in
price, partly because Of crop damage
reports, but also because Of sympathy
with advances in many agricultural
products.
Advlces from the Northwest are of
niue mDlt tndn udlI a crop or wheat.
but estimates as to the outturn in busi-
ness vary accordingly as the govern
ment report OF 10000, 900 or the COM
mercial estimate of 100000 900 bushels
yield last year in the three states are
used as a basis.
A short lived scare on the reports of
dry weather in the corn belt, sym
pathy with the early advance in wheat,
and, what is more important, apparent
increased popularity of corn on home
and export account, was responsible
for this cereal reaching the highest
point paid for year past. Oats and
other farm crops also sympathized, as
did most hog products. Butter is
higher on small receipts. Sugar is at
the highest price reached at this time
for ten years past, owing to active
canning demand and the strengthened
position of raws. The war in China
Is chargeable with the advance in teas

j. Sterling Morton, former secretary
of agricultuTe, defines the position of
theGoldDemocratsas being unalterably
opposed to Bryan, whether the platform
declares for either silver or gold. AS
Bryan's nomination is a foregone con-
clusion Mr.. Morton and his colleagues
will have an opportunity to test the
strength Of the anti-Bryan sentiment
in Democratic circles by putting a
third ticket in the field. or, better STILL
by sending the word along the line for
the Gold Democrats to vote for Nc
Kinley.
Evening journal., 1900-06-30

Delaware Republicans thank the Phila-
delphia Daily Evening Telegraph for its
solicitude. But when it suggests that
they combine with the Democrats to
defeat Addicks. they cannot act upon
the suggestion. To be consistent in
their Republicanism they must follow
true Republican course, which is to
maintain a Republican organization,
nominate Republicans for the several
offices and vote to a man for the nomi-
nees. To combine with the Democrats
would be to follow in the footsteps of
the Addicksites.

Evening journal., 1900-06-30

There is but one thing which pre-
vents Republican unity in Delaware.
That is the inordinate desire of Ad-
dicks to be United States senator. He
demands an office for which he is not
fitted. TO which he is not entitled and
which he never will get. With Ad-
dicks and his policy Of corruption and
disruption removed from state politics
Delaware could be redeemed speedily
and held in the Republican column for
many years to come.

fendant in a suit instituted in the

seeks TO obtain an injunction and an

declaration incensed Washington Hast

he would not vote for Addicks for

United States senator" He calls the
ambition of Addicks to go to the
United States Senate vulgar as
sumption" He says he would rather
vote for a Democrat than for Addicks
although voting for a Democrat is one
sin he never committed. Not only that
but he would not vote for anyone who
would vote for Addicks. This senti.
ment is in keeping with the sentiment
