BAD YEAR FOR WRECKtRs

Dr. George w. Marshall, the Addlclks
candidate for governor, and DR.. Caleb
r. Layton, the Addicks candidate for
representative in Congress, are drink
ing the bitter dregs OF the cup OF pc
litical perady that they have been
mixing for themselves during the past
eight years.
They find that the nominations they
have received from Addicks are worth
less and that they must submit to the
ignominy OF being removed from he
ticket
II they had served the Republican
party with the same zeal that they
have served their party-wrecking mas
ter they would not be in such pitiable
plight.
AS the matter stands, their past rec
ord makes It imperative that they re-
tire from the field. This is not a year
IN which men who have done every
thing in their power to wreck the Re-
publican party can come to the front
and demand the choicest things it has
to give Neither is Is a year in which
men Who have spared no effort to
wreck the Republican party can come
TO the front and set up a ticket for the
voters of the organization.

In nominating a candidate for
encouragement, I had intended to
name Walter H. Hayes, as he had
been my choice for two years, but he
has positively declined, and 1 now
have a letter in my pocket where he
states that he is nominated he will
publicly withdraw. Therefore nomi-
nate a man who is very close to me,
but, as 1 understand, not a Union Re-
publican, Herbert H. Ward. For
state treasurer I nominate a man who
is a distinctive Higgins man, and one
who will strengthen our ticket among
the Higgins men, Martin B. Burris.
In nominating a candidate for insur-
anoe commissioner it is necessary to
select a good man, not such a one as
the present Democratic official, conse.
quently l nominate Stansbury J.

UNCLE SAM RElTERATes DEMANDS

Assistant secretary Auce, Dy ulfeG-
ton Of President Mckinley, last night
presented to Minister WI for trans
mission to his government the reply of
the United States to the imperial edict
appointing Iii Hung Chang envoy to
negotiate with the Powers for a cessa-
tion OF hostllities. In effect It is a re-
iteration Of the demands previously
made by the United States upon China,
coupled with vigorous intimation
that no negotiations will be entered
into until the Chinese Government
shall have complied with those de-
mands.
Great Britain, the United States and
Japan have now approved the appoint
ment Of Field Marshal Count Won Wal
dersee as commander-in-chle of the
allied forces in China, the United States
and Japan unreservedly and Great
Britain conditionally on all the other
Powers agreeing TO the appointment.
This condition has practically been
fulfilled.
A special dispatch from Shanghai
says the British consul general reply
ing to protests Of Chinese merchants
against the landing OF troops, explains
that this is merely a precautionary
measure, due to the fact that the dis
turbances in the north are spreading
and coming daily nearer to Shanghai.
He also says Kiang-Su is already in a
state of revolt. and that at Ta-1Nng
there has been serious riotlng.
According to dispatches received in
Paris from Admiral Courrejoles,
French naval commander in Chinese
waters, native Christians and mission
aries on the line to Hankow, 500 kill
metres from Pekin, are in great dan
ger, the point being entirely outside
the sphere of the allied operations.

TWO IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS

One week from to-day the Repubn-

maries. and one week from tomorrow
they will hold their state convention
in the Grand Opera House in this city.
The two important political functions
are looked forward to with interest by
all citizens who have an interest in
public affairs. At one Republican
delegates will be elected: at the other
Republican candidates will be nomi-
mated. AT both the lie will be given to
the assertion OF Addicks that he N,d
his cabal of salaried henchmen domi-

Republican organization in Delaware
The convention will be a big affair
doubtless the biggest ever held in tn,

who believe in Republicanism and VIII,
are earnestly opposed to Democrac,
and Addicksism. The delegates will d,

Clayton, Aug. 13.-The busiest men

that so many peach trains are on the

and nearly every passenger train is

that there have been no accidents.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
Addicks and His Puppets

From Milford News and Advertiser.
The cOnvOcatiOn, aggregation, hippo
drome or rump convention, whicn met
in Dover on Monday was a most
amazing gathering. and never in the
history of our state, or of any other
state has there been anything like it.
In the first place it was illegal since
the primary election law applying TO
Wilmington was not complied with
Secondly, it was in no sense a repre-
sentative gathering, even of Addicks
men, since the notice was so short that
one half of the voters knew nothing
about 1t. Thirdly, while it was called
a convention" it was nothing of the
kind in the sense in which that term
is ordinarily employed. The boss
named a ticket which his slaves blat-
antly ratified; then a resolution was
adopted with a rush giving the state
chairman the power to remove any
candidate or candidates and to substi-
tute another name or names. COnse-
quently no one knows who are the
nominees. since all are at the mercy
OF Mr.. Addicks, (Allee being simply his
agent or clerk He may say to the
candidate for governor or for congress
at any time, step aside; l have an
other man for the place Under the
powers delegated to him, he could
name a new ticket in full. and it would
be the ticket of the party.
Addicks stood up in the New Castle
caucus and told the delegates what he
had decided to do: he read a list of
his candidates which he ordered them
to endorse, and they did it in short
order The brilliant feature of the
convention was the nomination of
three Regulars for electors; it nav
transpires that two are ineligible be-
cause of being bank directors, and the
third has refused to serve. 1t now be-
comes the privilege Of Mr.. Alice under
the extraordinary resolution referred
to, to name another ticket Ordinary
people dislike 10 vote a ticket that they
have had no voice in nominating, but
it matters not with the Addicks serfs;
they will cheerfully deposit their bal
lots for candidates named by Frank
Alice, under the command of Addicks.
The followers of the gasman have
gone so far that they have lost all self
respect, they are like a lot of yelping
ours, which perform their antics to
please their master To elect anyone
of them to office means the placing of
that Office into the hands of Addicks.
They are mere puppets to perform
when the boss pull the string; there
is not one who has the courage to ex-
press an opinion or to have an idea
unless he first hears it expressed by
his imperial master. AS IAN example
OF self-abasement. of abject subser-
viency this condition was never equal
ed. Certain candidates have been
placed in Addicls' handsas playthings;
he may hold or discard them, while his
followers shout approval. He is like
child with his playthings; il is all
matter of whim; he may break one
toy and cast it aside, while hugging tC
his bosom some piece OF deformity
This may suit his yelping pack, but
there is some manhood left in Della
ware, thank GOdl
