LET IT COME OUT

Six separate times we have asked the
Daily Republican this question:
Do you consider ]. Edward Addicks
a good Republican and do you consid-
er him fit man to be made the leader
Of the Republican party in Delaware
and to represent the people OF Della
ware in the United States Senator
On every occasion the Daily Republi-
can has declined to answer this ques-
ton. IL is afraid to do r. While It is
slyly working for Addicks under cover
OF it's past Republicanism It knows that
there are many persons using It's
columns and reading II who would not
touch IL If it were to tell them that It
has become an Addicks mouthpiece.
Once more We ask It to reply to the
above question without evasion OF
eQuivocation. IL is time for 1t to come
out openly for or against Addicks. Its
game OF hide-and-seek has been in
progress long enough.

"There Is something absolutely baf-

manager, "about the perfect regularity
of the sizes Of audiences for any given
play. You know ] manage two thea
ters here in New York. One Of them
holds about 1000 people and the other
holds about 1000 people.
'Now, when we have n play that is
what we call a great success at the
small theater-such a success that we
have to turn people away every night
1t is almost invariable that the number
turned away is not far from 80 each
night-that is to say. 1000 people come
and get in and 80 come and cannot get
In. And when we have n similar sue
cess at the large theater the average
number of people turned away is just
the same-about 3O-that is, 1000 peo-
pie come and get in and 80 come and
cannot get In.
"Now to all appearances the one
play has made just as big hit as the
other, so why is it that just about 1880
people want to see the one every night

He was Telling Him.

During one of the earliest visits of the
royal family to Balmoral Prince Albert,
dressed in a simple manner, was cross
ing one of the Scottish lakes in a
steamer and was curious to note every
thing relating to the management Of
the vessel and. among many other
things. the cooking. Approaching the
galley, where a brawny highlander
was attending TO the culinary matters,
he was attracted by the savory odors
Of a POT os 'hodgeDodge, which the
highlander was preparing.
"What is thatY asked the prince,
who was not known to the cook.
"Hodgepodge, sir" was the reply.
'How is 1t made?" was the next
question.
'Why, there's mutton intilt and tur-
nips intilt and carrots intirt and''-
"Yes, yes" said the prince; but what

The man looked at him, and, seeing
that the prince was serious. he replied:

AnnlcKSlSM MnsI PERISH


Addicks has won. BY a vote Of 3S to
9 the Committee on Credentials Of the
Republican National Convention last
night decided 10 place his entire delega-
ton on the temporary roll OF delegates,
and It is likely that the National Con-
ventlon will to-day confirm that action
by adopting the surprising report Of
the committee The Republicans may
carry the fight to the floor OF the con
vention, but with little hope Of upset
ting the majority report.
Delaware Republicans refuse to ac-
cept the finding OF the national organi-
zation. They will carry out all their
pledges with respect to the national
ticket, but that is the full extent to
which they will go. They will continue
TO oppose Addicks, in the future as they
have opposed him In the past, and the
national organization must assume full
responsibility for Republican political
conditions in this state at all future
elections Under no circumstances will
they accept Addicks for their leader;
and under no circumstances will they
become parties to any scheme which
has in contemplation his elevation to
the United States Senate. The fight
against him In Delaware remains
where Il was before the National Con-
yention met. In local affairs there will
be no change. II anything, the Re
publicans are more determined than
ever to preserve their organization In
all three counties; to nominate their
candidates and to vote for them and en-
deavor to elect them.
The Addicksltes refused to eliminate
Addicks; the National Committee
lodged the issue: the Committee ON
Credentials betrayed true Delaware Re
publicanism, and placed the seal OF It's
approval on a man who has been false
to every Republican principle It is
sad commentary on the men who
were parties to the transaction.
Having been betrayed by national
organization leaders, It becomes every
Delaware Republican and lover Of true
Republican principles to remain firm
in his determination never TO compro-
mise with Addicks or Addiclxsism, and
never to accept him as a Republican. II
becomes every Delaware Republican tC
give President Mckinley his full and
free support for president, as he has
promised to do; to nominate the best
men for the several offices to be filled
this Fall, and to stand by the nominees
IN every county and district.
II is duty they owe to themselves
to tlreir state and to the nation. The.
are in the right and the right mus
prevail. Addicksism is a corrupt an'
transitory thing which must perish
while Republicanism is founded OF
principles which never die.

From the Chester Times.
The little state on the south that is
just across the circular line Is in an
other wrangle and this time the fuss is
over the admission OF the delegates to
the Republican National Convention.
Two sets OF delegates have applied for
the honor OF representing the common
wealth, which at no time In It's history
has cast as many Republican votes as
are regularly given in the county of
Delaware, and the whole state Is in a
ferment over the possibilities OF the
case.

come to this county,-the county OF

litlcal harmony. The redoubtablt
