Delaware gazette and state journal. (Wilmington, Del.) 1883-1902, 1900-07-05

Delaware, we will sue what we have
never seeniin Delaware during my time,
an honest, straightforward, courageous
administration of.our local affairs.
1--WE must, we shall have an hon est
administration OF the affairs OF this
dear little State. We must have a Re
publican mayor, and City Council in
Wilmington, a Republican Levy Court
In every county, o Republican governor,
two Republican Senators and Con
gresham. and we will have to remove
Detectives Money and Witsil, because
they have got into such an awful pickle
they don't speak and can't ride In the
sans car. +"
Mr.. Hilles then spoke Of the posi-
bility that man may not conscien-
tiously favor candidate. He could
conceive that the Republican party
might do thing he could not support,
yet in such an event, he would not vote
for Democrat. Many things should be
considered before man would turn
against his party. The speaker adyo-
Gated the support Of men known to be
good and upright and the placing Of
them In positions OF honor In Delaware.
This being done oil could be satisfied
that they had done their duty to the
State and the party and their con-
science. Mr.. Hiiles urged them to re-
deem the State from the misrule Of
Salisbury, Kenney and such men.
MIR. CONRAD FOR HARMONY.
City Solicitor Henry g. Conrad was
next introduced. He said that the East
Side Republican Association was to be
congratulated that IL afforded this early
opportunity TO approve and ratify the
nominations of MoKiplsy and Roose-
velt. He believed the loyalty in Della
ware for the national ticket was an
earnest of the fact that the Republic
cans are going to get together in the
nomination OF both State and county
tickets that will merit the hearty APP
prevail OF Republicans throughout the
State. With united effort the Republi-
cans would have the satisfaction of
knowing that the Republican party is
represented in the United States Senate
BY two Republicans, that the governor,
Congressman and Legislature are Re-
publican and that the three counties
are under Republican ooattol.
This is not too much to expect. 1t
Ia in tho line of probability. 1t de-
Ponds upon ourselves. hope this Is
the feeling of all who have united in
this occasion today
The meeting closed with three cheers
for Mckinley and Roosevelt and the
whole Republican ticket.
MI. ApDIoRs PLEASED.
After the meeting Mr.. Addioks, who
had been a listener, was asked his
opinion of it. ~ am very glad to be
here." he replied. land to see the har-
monious feelings IL seems everybody
is in harmony. There don't seem to be
any difference of opinion about that. I
was especially glad to hear Mr.. Hilles'
speech. He seems to be standing on
the same ground as we are, and bis CO.
opel alton would make very powerful
centre for the cam paign"
just before making this statement,
Mr.. Addicks was greeted by one WA-
liam Hollis. u short oolored man Of this
city, who introduced himself. Mr..
Addioks remarked upon his wearing a
G. AR. badge and William declared
that was the kind to wear, and slapped
Mr.. Addioks gieefully on the shoulder.
Earlier in the afternoon, a young
mar, who had drunk enough to be-
come confidential, rested his hand for
space on the gas mans shoulder.
Mr.. Addjcks released himself from the
friendly touch.
On the return trip, the officers of the
committee OF arrangements did not
board the Twilight but were Mr.. Ad.
dicks guests on the Vision. They were
Chairman James ]. Jones, Secretary
Robert NJ. Burns and Treasurer Joseph
A. Maoklin.
VIEWS or THE SITUATION.
Views of some OF the politicians
present on the situation In Delaware
were secured in the course of the day.
'In my OPINION said DIR. O. r.
Layton, who Is chairman of the Union
Republican Committee Of Sussex
county, there will be only one ticket.
Everybody feels that The campaign will
be most important and that it is abso
lutely necessary to stand together for
national as we'll as State purposee.
There seems to be disposition to har-
monte and agree for the sake of the
issues that are at stake"
s. John Abbott of Milford, when
asked how the people ''down belown
took the action Of the National Con-
vention, he said the Union Republic
cans were glad, and the Regulars, at
first angry, saying they would support
everything but the Legislature, were
now waiting to decide on their course
of conduct.
David s. Clark Of Kenton had this to
say: at is too early yet to make cal
oulation as to what the outcome will
be, but there Is certain class OF
leaders of the Regulars who are unde-
cided yet what to do. Whether there
will be two tickets in the field or one
ticket, but my impression is there will
be two tickets and there will be q
strong effort to have both tickets the
same. II they can get conservative men
nominated out Of the Union ranks for
State officers and Representative in
Congress, am sure the Regulars will
endorse the ticket.
THE rank and file is falling in with
the Union Republican ranks. There il
no question about that. I"
DO you think Addioks can comj
mand enough support this time to he
elected SENATOR" Mr.. Clark was asked.
1t il hard to tell about that" he
said. There will be strong opposi-
tion against him. So many OF the dis
tricts are very close, that it takes a
very few votes to turn them either
Democratic or Republican.
"Mr. Addiuks has gained popularity
since this fight before the National
Convention. great many people who
opposed him before, will now support
him.
DO you think he is as strong in the
two lower counties as he wasp
Stronger today than he ever was.
KENT REGULARS WILL FIGHT.
