Mr.. Dickie's attack upon the presi-
dent was indecent.
FOR IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION.
In the Sun of March "a, double-col-
umned, in small plea, under title:
Questions of Importance, for Imme-
diate Consideration, was the follow
ing:
1T was a wise man who said 'Eter-
nal vigilance is the price of liberty
Local conditions emphasize this truth.
This state has been slowly emerging
from the grasp of an odious political
tyranny and has now arrived at a place
and condition of critical Importance
as to the future. The question at issue
Is, shall there be an immediate realiza-
ton of the hope that has for so long
inspired continuous efforts for pOliti-
cal refOrm-for just laws and equal
rights for all the people, or shall the
opportunity for its realization be lost,
and the old fruitless fight be resumed
under difficulties designed to be in
surmountable. The next State Legls-
lature that is controlled by democrats
will undertake TO put those difficulties
In the way OF political reform. This
can only be prevented by the vigorous
corporation of all the opponents of
democratic misrule.
ITO this end--to formulate and es-
tablish a basis Of unity, and promote
vigorous effort-the following ques-
tions are proposed;
IL Are you a republican?
/ 4. Ill tr,.t -.
OF the republican voters shall control
the policy OF the party?
"3. DO you favor the undivided sup
port of all the nominations which shall
be made by the majority OF the repub-
lican voters of the state2
"A. DO you favor the pledging of all
republican nominees for any leglsla-
tive Office to abide by the action OF the
republican caucus?
| IF your answer TO these questions is
an affirmative one, and you are will
ing to join men of like mind in a Wig
orous effort for republican success
upon the lines here laid down, you are
most cordially and earnestly Invited
TO visit Union Republican Headquar-
ters, at Fifth and Shipley streets. third
floor. and sign the rollbook of the
union republican organization of New
Castle county.
''By order Committee on Organiza-
tioh."
That the republican convention OF
Wednesday last would produce malar-
ial symptoms among the Addicksites
goes without saying. (webster defines
malarial, a fever characterized by the
occurrence Of chills, fever and sweat
ing in distinct paroxysms at intervals
Of definite and often uniform dura-
/ tion), but that the attack should de-
velop in so few days is unexpected. II
; was not due until April 3.
The Sun calls our attention to the
Z vlrulence of the disease in its "Ques-
( tlons of Importance for Immediat,
r Consideration"
e Here we have the panacea; a new
school of politics. II you want to hole
3 your voters; sign them. The idea il
{ based on business principles.
II is manifest Mr.. Addicks has ha,
! a conference with himself. and hi
conclusions are: "As a statesman hav'
p proved a dead failure, the results OF al
r. my statesmanship bring condnuou
4 defeat 10 My Senatorial Aspirations
d As fnancier and promoter l hay
p been a success, my companies hav
b boomed Cthat Is the promoter has
b stockholders are a secondary consider
j. alton and sometimes get lef0. Ergo,
e shall give up the methods of the states
man and adopt the ways of the promo
!. ter. Henceforth shall have a roll
e book and sign my followers"
T. The idea Is novel in Delaware po
r litical life and therefore not unattraci
d i've. In order TO help on the good wor
r the Journal would suggest incorpora
ton. It is now made easy. Thi
re might answer;
," THE UNION REPUBLICAN co
LIMITED.
President. j. e. Addicks.
Nice-president, Caleb Layton.

Secretary. George Roberts.
