CONDEMN PARTY BOLTERS

Eighth Ward Republican League at :
special meeting yesterday adopted reso
lutlons condemniDg the insurgent boltel
Republicans of this State and demand.
ing that the bolter leaders recede from
their position of opposition to the ma
jorty Republican parry of Delaware.
Presi lent John G. McCauley presided
and Secretary Jourdan read the resou-
tions which We're adopted unanimously.
The action is one of the surprises of the
present political situation. PJitical
organizations in every part OF the State,
especially those whose membership com.
prise workingmen who represent the
masses are awakening to the cause OF
Republican disunion in Delaware. The
Eighth Ward League with member
ship OF nearly 200 represents the rank
and file of the Republican party.
The meeting Yesterday was called for
the purpose Of allowing the league to
give expression to their feelings. Presi-
dent McCaulley said yesterday men
who are leading the bolter organization
are leaders whose names are synonomus
With failure. They have failed because
OF jealousness among themselves"
TIE Eighth Ward Republican League
evidently believes in the leadership OF j.
Edward Addicks. A surprising express
sion of faith in the Union Republican
leader is found in one part of the resolu-
tion. They want Addicks to accept the
nomination for an office to be elected bv
popular vote. The resolution demands
his consent to accept the Union Repub-
lican nomination for Governor.
After several speeches OF endorsement
the resolutions were adopted as follows:
Whereas, The success OF the Repub-
lican ticket in Delaware is endangered by
the existence of a small minority OF
voters, organized as Republican politi-
cal organization under the Democratic
election laws of this State, and by direct
favor of Democratic officials; and
Whereas, This minority bolter organ
ization is demanding recognition by the
Nation at Republican convention in the
seating of alleged Republican delegates
to represent this State in the National
Convention to the exclusion Of the right
fully elected delegates. TO the detriment
and probable defeat of the Republican
ticket at the coming general election; and
"Whereas, This boiling minority has
refused to go into common primary,
and
Whereas, We believe from ;nforma-
tion received that the boilers have enter
ed into conspiracy with the Democratic
party for the election of one bolter and
one Democratic United States Senator,
and
Whereas, Kent and Sussex counties
have demonstrated that they can elect
the. entire Union Republican ticket
against the combined vote OF boilers and
Democrats, and
Whereas, The bolter Republican
organization possesses no adhesive power
except that derived from Federal patron
age which power falls when Federal
patronage is Withdrawn, therefore be it
Resolved, That this organization of
Republican voters-The Eighth Ward
Republican League, of Wilmington-de
mand that the bclter Republican organ.
zation representing only one hall of one
county shall submit to the rule of the
majority, and it is further
Resolved, That we demand that the
bolter Republican organization disband
their State committee which is main
tained by contributions from Federal
employees, and leave the control of partv
affairs in the hands OF the Union Repub-
lican or regularity organized Republican
committee and it is further
Resolved, That after the acknowl.
edged failure of the bolter Republican
organization in every campaign we de-
mand that the bolter leaders recede from
the position they have taken and join in
the campaign under the leadership OF ].
Edward Addicks. and the majority which
action will insure complete success and
be it further
Resolved, In order that justice may
be done after four years OF persecution,
that we demand that J. Edward Addicks
to accept the Union Republican
nomination for Governor, believing that
he will have such majority of the popu-
lar vote that no combination of bo!tef
republicans and Democrats can defeat
uim."
