DELAWARE FIGHT.
The most interesting incident Of the
day was reserved until late In the aft
ernoon 1t was speech by Senator Han
no on the Delaware case, in which he
made an impassioned appeal for the
burial of the Ratchet between the Addicks
and Dupont factions. The Delaware con
troVersy was brought to the front by a
report in the case made by the suhcom-
mittee appointed to make an effort to
bring the two factions to a basis of agree
ment. When this report was called for
exceptional precautions were taken TO pre-
vent the escape of any word of the pro-
ceedings to the corridors. Committeeman
/ Cunning, of Iowa, presented the re-
port of the subcommittee. He said that
lie and his colleagues had made an car
nest appeal to the leaders on both sides
to subordinate their private interests and
their prejudices to the general welfare
and interest of the party. They had been
asked, he said. to unite, each side &C
cepting fair representation. The Addicks
people had assured him that this ar
rangement would be satisfactory to them
but the opposing delegation had held out
for absolute recognition, agreeing to make
proper efforts to secure harmony in state
and national contests. There was prop
oSition to seat the Addicks delegation
hut this was met with d suggestion to re-
commit the matter to the subcommittee
with instructions to make still further eff
fort to bring the contrasting factions to-
gether
MIR. HANNA'S PLEA.
Mr Hanna took the floor in support Of
this latter proposition. He only occupied
about five minutes time, but he spoke
with great earnestness. His speech was
an appeal for unity Of action. and he
said that TO effort should be spared to
accomplish this end. He referred to the
objection of the Dupont-Higgins people
to Mr.. Addicks, and said that opposi-
ton to no one man could be allowed to
stand in the way of party success in Del
aware or elsewhere.
Il am satisfied he continued that l
reflect the sentiment of the president I'm
my appeal 10 effect a settlement of this
controversy, as this case is one that ap-
peals to the common sense of every man
here. We must put aside personalities.
rise above petty prejudices, and take
our stand on the broader plane of pa
triOtism and party success. The COM
mittee cannot afford to take up the per-
sOnal cause of any set Of men, much
less can it afford to espOuse the cause
Of any Individual"
Continuing, he said that contingencies
might possibly arise in which Delaware
would settle national contest. and It
was particularly important that the Sc
lection of a candidate for the United
States senate should be borne in mind.
There was a safe Republican majority
in the senate at present, but no one
could tell what. emergencies might arise
or what contingencies might occur. Con
tinuing, Senator Hanna said:
Il feel en- intense interest in this case
because of its possible bearing upon ra-
tional politics, and 1 appeal to you in
deed l supplicate the Delaware Repub-
licans of both parties, to forget that
there has ever been a fractional fight in
the party in your state, and to unite in
the interest CT the common cause, and it
will not DO to forget that the RESPONSE
