ADDlCKS COMES TO TOWN.

Holds Reception at the Sheriffss ONCE
and Predicts Republican Victory In Della
ware.
j. Edward Addicks, by the grace of
the National Republican Convention
cock of the walk in Delaware politics,
visited Wilmington Friday. He was
attired in the democratic simplicity of
a straw hat and linen suit and was in
the company of Col. ID. p. Barnard.
He paid visit to the office of Sheriff
John E. Taylor, and Deputy Sheriff
Francis S. Bradley, who wants to be
sheriff, invited other persons in the
building to drop in on Mr.. Addicks.
Something funny must have been said
by someone in the sheriff's office while
Mr.. Addicks was there, for there was a
laugh that was heard on the other side
of the partition which divides the
sheriff's office from the office OF the
clerk of the peace.
Leaving the Court House, National
Committeeman Addicks walked down
Market street and visited Capt. e. L.
Rice, Jr., who was the marshal of the
j. Edward Addicks Club in Monday
nights parade. William B. Clerk was
amcng those who greeted the gas man.
Mr.. Addicks is feeling the effects of
the strain in carrying on tho fierce
| fight which he brought TO successful
issue in Philadelphia and proposes to
rest awhile at his residence at Clay
mont
He was asked whether there was any
truth in report that he had made to
the Regulars the same offer of com
promise since the convention as had
been made when the contest was on.
He replied that nothing of the kind
had been done, and that he had nc
authority to do such a thing. Anything
that may be done must be done regu.
larly by the State Committee.

all Catholic societies will affiliate in
one great union, although each separate
organization will retain its indi-

members of the, societies subject to a

work together whenever necessary for

our societies composed OF Catholics

points, so that while each retains its

the delegation, The opponents of Ad-

But the question whether one or the
other set of delegates shall be admitted
is not the important thing. The vital
consideration in the cnse Is the shock

corrupt millionaire can settle down in
one of the 10 original States of the

large cities and "the foreign element"
and sap the virtus of it's electorate.
