Special TO the Evening Joufhai'
Philadelphia, June 15.-Addicks will
have to make his fight on the floor of
The convention.
The Republican National Committee
has decided to leave the matter OF his
recognition open to that body.
The Delaware Republicans here are
well pleased with their work thus far
The Addicksites are distressed. The
trend of events has convinced them
that the fight at ST. Louis is about to
be repeatedin all essential particulars,
ind that defeat for them is certain.
Addicks' connection with Quay has
done him much harm in administration
circles. and this fact has broadened the
scope of the fight, and made Addieks'
defeat in the convention all the more
certain
The Republicans refused to enter
into any agreement which recognized
Addleks as a Republican leader. Their
frmness won the day for them.
From now until Tuesday or wednes-
day the two contending parties will
maintain the fight among the delegates,
each side striving to gain a majority
of the Committee on Credentials. But
it is losing fight for the Quay-Ad-
Observation-Disclosures forces.
Everything now points to the full
and complete recognition Of the Re
publican delegation and the utter re-
pudiation of the Addicksites.
Republicans and Union Republicans
are here fresher than any time since
the first day. Both sides. after having
had hearings yesterday, apparently
feel better.
In the corridors of the Hotel Walton
Delawareans congregated and dis
cussed the chances. Mr.. Addicks was
present again busily engaged in inter
views with various visitors and dele
gates to the convention.
The National Committee was again
in session this morning, but did not
hear a report from the subcommittee
Philadelphia, June 15.-Anothel
hearing was held last night of tho
Delaware contest case. The Republic
cans met the subcommittee in the Ho
tel Walton. where they were
closeted for almost an hour. No de
cision was reached. and no report wal
made to the National Committee.
]. Edward Addicks changed his sui
before visiting the National Republi
can Convention headquarters yester
day. He appeared in dark clothing an'
wore a black derby. In keeping VIII
his change of apparel he changed nj
mood, for all day long 1t was darl
brown. His confident demeanor AM
smiling cOuntenance of the preYiou
day were like his linen suit-missing.
All morning Mr.. Alice was busy but
tOnhOling committeeman and promi
nent visitors. Mr.. Bryan, of Ohio
came in for a major portion of the gas
mans attention.
