work Is for the Philadelphia conven-
tion 20 seat the Republican delegates.
and that will be the beginning OF the
end Of Addicksism in these two lower
counties. The voters are beginning to
learn that the Addicks machine lead
ers are salaried men, and that they
represent no political sentiment not
embodied in their weekly OF monthly
checks received from Addicks. That
knowledge is having its effect. In my
opinion the Republicans will poll from
500 to 500 votes In Kent county without
the least trouble. 10 may be more. for
can assure you that there will be hun
dreds Of votes quietly cast against Ad-
dicks by former Addicks men. The
detection is not of the brass band or
der, and that is what worries the Ad-
dicks managers here. They don't
know just where their fences are down
In East Dover hundred, the home OF
j. Frank Alice, chairman OF the Ad-
dicks State Central Committee, and in
North Murderkill hundred, where ne
and his friends always have boasted Of
having such a strong pull, there has
been a rapid decline in the number Of
Addicks adherents, and the strength OF
the Republican vote In the two hun
dreds this Fall will be surprising"
Not for years have we been in bet

Postmaster Casson last night. "Our

KENT'S DEMOCRATIC ASPIRANTS,
WITH KENNEY IN THE SADDLE

Jchn Johnson and Henry Williams,
both of Hazlettville. are aspirants to
the seat vacated by Clark Former
Postmaster Thomas NJ. Gooden, Mark
w. Cole and IS. L. Jones. Of Dover, are
mentioned in the Fifth district. In the
Sixth district it is a tOss-up among
Meredith, Cahall and the Harringtons,
with the question of senator or repre-
sentative still hanging in the balance
with all of them. Samuel Armstrong,
of Camden, has the field to himself in
the Seventh, or North Murderkill hun
dred district, and Democratic leaders
here are OF the opinion that he Will
remain unoppOsed for the nomination.
William c. Handesty would like to take
his chances in the Eighth district, but
ElwOod Killen, of FELTON,, some years
ago spent a Winter and Spring in the
House, and IL always has been pleas
ant recollection which he now feels he
would like 10 repeat.
Lcvy Court commissioners will be
elected in the First. Third, Fifth,
Eighth and Ninth districts, but the
fight has not yet shaped up, although
several of those who go out would like
10 go Dack.
The Democrats are split here in Kent
not so much on political principles as
they are on rivalry for political leader
ship. The rivals are Senator kenney
Secretary of State James II. Hughes
and James L. Wolcott. Jr. They also
are at odds over the United States SEN
atorship. Wolcott and Hughes are try
ing to hold up the party against this
new assault by the old salisbury fac
tiOn. They are classed as gold men;
Kenney as any kind of a currency man
for the sake of expediency, while Alex
ander M. Daily is an avowed Free Silver
man. who IS willing to sink the issue
for the sake of harmony.
1t begins TO look as though there will
be a renewal of the old Wolcott-Sauls-
bury feud, for the friends of the dead
chancellor do not relish having the
Saulsburys undo the work which 1t
took him years to accomplish. That
old flame never has died out. It smol-
ders in the political hearth of Kent,
and but little tanning will stir it into
an active flame.

ADDICKS is LOSING GROUND
In BOTH KENT AND SUSSEX

stan Correspondence Evening Journal
Dover, May 22.--F'rom one end Of
Kent county to the other there are con-
stantly-increasing evidences that the
Addicks party is dlsintegrating. When
the Philadelphia National Convention
refuses TO recognize Addicks and his
delegates it will mark the dissolution
Of Addicksism, for It will be the sign
for wholesale deserions to the Repub-
lican ranks.
The Republicans in Kent county are
in better shape and more determined
against Addicks than at any time in
four years. They have a strong and
active organization, and in the ap-
preaching election they will poll two
or three times as many votes as they
did two years ago, and perhaps even
more
Il know lfty men here In Dover who
voted the Addicks ticket two years
ago who will vote the Republican
ticket if one is in the field this Fall,
and who say that II such a ticket is
not set up they will vote for the legis-
lative branch OF the Democratic ticket,
being determined that Addicks shall no
longer use them to create vacancies.
They are reliable men. who mean what
they say. / do not speak from hear
say, but Of my own personal knowl-
edge. The Republican vote will more
than double itself. All the voters want
is an opportunity to express their SEN
timents."
This is the statement Of a man who
has an intimate acquaintance with po-
litical conditions as they exist to-day
i'm Kent county. Another Republican
OF prominence said:
Many OF my friends who formerly
were Addicks men have told me pri-
vately that they will follow his lead

For the coronership the fight still is
wide open to all intents and purposes.
There are two state senators to elect
in the county. The district composed
of the Third and Fourth representative
districts will name one and the dis
trict composed of the Sixth and Ninth
representative districts will name the

in the first and Former Senator Samuel

Theodore Harrington are mentioned in

COMBINE AGAINST
THE SALISBURY =COOCH FORCES
Political WhirIigig Has Made Several New Political
BedfeIOws in the Democratic Party
Within the Last Four Years

Here in New Castle county the Demo
cratic political situation is more or
less complex. Thus far Former Attor-
ney-General John Biggs has the adj
vantage in the fight for the senatorship
over Willard Salisbury, Jr, and Peter
j. Ford is making serious inroads on
j. wilkins Cooch, who hopes to carry
on the nomination for governor by the
grace OF an abiding faith in the
solidarity of the rural hundreds.
II has got abroad that Mr.. Cooch
has severed his old factional ties and
has gone over TO Willard Salisbury,
Jr., and this has done him much harm
In several of the rural hundreds. The
feeling of resentment Is not confined to
New Castle, for there are old WOlcott
leaders in Kent who have told him
frankly that he has made the mistake
OF his life, and In such a critical period
In his political career. Lined up as
they are to-day, on the one side are
Willard salisbury, Jr., for senator and
J.Wilkins Cooch for governor, and on the
other are found John Biggs for sena-
tor, Peter j Ford for governor.
-Four years ago, when Mr.. Ford made
his first dash for the governorshlp,
Willard Salisbury, Jr., was with him
and put him in nomination. Prior to
taking up Mr.. Ford Mr.. Salisbury had
importuned Ebe w. Tunnell TO become

thought he could call his man. Mr..
Salisbury encouraged the hopes Of Mr.
Ford and gave him every assurance OF
nomination. Then a strange thing hap.

THE TAYLOR MILITIA RETIREs.

Stan Correspondence Evening Journal.
Dover, May 22.-FrOm a Democratic
viewpoint politics in Kent county is
becoming interesting. 1t is cOntended
by the friends of United States Senator
Richard r. Kenney, that he will con-
troll the Kent county delegation by a
largely preponderating vote, and that
the Democrats in this county will in
sist on naming one of the two senators
in event of control OF the Legislature
by their party. They deny that there is
a deal between Senator Kenney and
Willard Salisbury, Jr., but admit that
Mr.. Salisbury has considerable
strength down this way. This they at
tribute more particularly to the fact
that the Salisbury family dominated
the political affairs of Kent prior to the
Wolcott revolt in the SOS.
Although L. Irving Handy served
but one term in Congress and was de-
feated by Mr. Hoffecker for reelection
the Kent cOuntians are claiming the
right to name the man for representa-
tive in Congress. They assert that 1t
is theirs by the rule of rotation, and
that under no circumstance will they
submit to the nomination of Joseph
Holland or any other Sussex county
man. Asked what they have to say
about the nomination for lieutenant
governor, they smile and say that New
Castle and Sussex may toss up for 1t,
for it is no affair of Kent's.
Several Democrats already are men
toned for the nomination for represen-
tative in Congress. DR.. e. w. Cooper
of North Murderkill hundred; Former
Representative Robert Wilson, of East
Dover hundred. editor of the Smyrna
Gail, and a Free Silver man of Free Sill

tary of the Democratic County Execu-
tive Committee, are all in the field, but
the struggle for supremacy scarcely has
begun. Both Mr. Wilson and Mr.. Daily

wards Mr.. Biggs in the senatorial
