INSIST ON ADDICKS' ELIMINATION
A meeting was arranged between the
subcommittee and the Republicans
for 7.45 o'clock 1t was. however, 81
O'Clock before Chairman Payne reach
ed the Hotel Walton. on the fifth floor
of which the conference was held. The
Republicans in the delegation were
Committeeman Henry B. Thompson,
Colonel Henry A. DUPONT Samuel NJ.
Knox. Charles F. Richards and Robert
! G. Houston, of Georgetown and Philip
@. Churchman.
The conference consumed about
forty-fve minutes. during which time
all of the members Of the sub-commit
tee asked questions concerning the fac
tions and the possibility of harmony
with the Union Republicans. The Re
publicans reasserted their claims to
! the right to seat their delegates, and
assured the committee that they would
agree to anything that was fair, but
only on the ground that Addicks be
eliminated. The subcommittee was in
formed by the Republicans that they
would not accept a half-vote, because
the people in Delaware would condemn
them If they did so. Besides, their
chances would be weakened in the fu-
ture. and a weakness in the present is
sue would show itself should they agree
to division of the vote. At length the
lRepubllcans stated that If Addicks
were to be given anything. that his en-
tire delegation should be seated. The
Republicans asserted that their record
lhad been clean in the
past and they desired to he left on
ground on which it may continue un-
tarnished.
NO REPORT TO COMMITTEE.
The Republicans and Union Repub-
licans remained in the lobbies of the
Hotel Walton until the committees
session was adjourned to this morning.
Both sides were expectant and eagerly
linauired from every person who came
l from the committee room what dispo-
i sition had been made OF the Delaware
case or whether it had been brought up
or not.
1t was not brought up. It is prob
lalle that some disposition will be made
of the case to-day.
A rumor gained publicity yesterday
that the sub-committee would not
: make recommendation. but would
, permit the contest to go to the floor OF
the convention. The rumOr was run
into the ground by Chairman Payne
! who declared that a report would be
made by the subcommittee.
QUAY Is FOR ADDICKs.
Matthew S. Quay, who does not ap-
pear to know much about the plans of
- the Republican leaders this year, is
afraid that Postmaster General Smith
is being considered as a candidate for
4 president. Within the past day or
+ two one of the insignificant ward clubs
of this city, dominated by Quay heel
. er, adopted resolutions denouncing the
ostmaster-general. 1t seems that Mr..
1. Quay is fearful that there is a disposi-
q tion on the part of a number of the
Republican leaders to nominate Mr..
Smith for vice-president, and one of
o his local henchmen was delegated to
= secure a club to adopt such resolutions
G The news of this action is now being
Icirculated among incoming delegates
r as an argument against Pennsylvania
being considered in connection with
: the vice-presidential nomination.
4 Ex-senator Quay's private secretary
h represented him here yesterday in
: booming the cause of Addicks, of Della
1 ware. He was active about the Hotel
4 Walton all day, introducing the gas
: man to national committeeman and ar
guing in favor Of recognition for h.s
contesting Delaware delegation. Sen
ator Penrose, who represented Mr.. Quay
, in the National Committee. is also nn-
- derstood to have taken an active inter.
est in the Addicks contest.
Ex-senator Andrews. who was about
,. the hotel most of the day, did not ap-
n pear to be on as good terms with the
t. Addicks contingent as other Quayites
-e or as he was four years ago, but his
nj presence served to recall the unsuccess-
Ell full efforts made by the same crowd tC

Is convention in 1896.
