Some Addicks press agent, to whose
uses the local columns Of the Smyrna
Times have been surrrendered,ta takes oc-
casion, in an article booming City So
licitor Henry c. Conrad for governor,
to abuse the Republican organization
in unmeasured terms for its refusal to
accept Addicks and Addicksism after
the National Convention has acted in
their favor. However, he makes one
seemingly sensible reference to the po-
litical situation, saying:
The most important state office is
the governorship, and it is childish to
allow a difference on the senatorial
question to give this honor to the
Democrats. If we make a wise and
conservative choice we can win, II we
make an unwise choice in selecting a
radical factionist we go down in defeat
as we did four years ago.
These are fair words to come from
an Addickslte whose master has de-
clared that Addicksites must have the
first choice on common ticket, and
that that choice will be the governor.
Mr. Addicks wants the veto power
and the 200 or more offices that 60 with
the governor; but, most OF ALL he
wants a governor who Will appoint
him senator when his "straw man" re-
signs.

ADDICKsITEs ouTwlTTED

Once more the Addicksites have been
outwitted. II has been decided by the
Republican State Committee to hold
the Republican State Convention on
August p, two days in advance Of
the Addicks State Convention.
This convention will nominate can
didates for presidential electors, repre-
sentative in Congress, governor lieu
tenant-governor, state treasurer state
auditor, state insurance commissioner
and attorney-general
When the Addicksites fixed upon
August % for their primaries in this
county, and August % for their State
Convention. they believed that they
had blocked any movement which the
Republicans might make to hold their
State Convention first But they made
a stupid blunder. The registration days
in August are the 4th. 18th and 18th
Knowing this, the Republican County
Committee made arrangements with
the Department OF Elections to obtain
the registration books for primaries on
Monday. August 20. This precluded al
once any change OF dates by the Ad
dicksites, because, under the primary
election laws, the books will not b'
available for any party before Angus
20, and the Republicans have them fo
that day.
It is possible that the Republican
State Convention may be held her
in Wilmington, and that the Granl
Opera House will be selected. Shoul
this be done it will prove one Of tn
greatest political gatherings ever he'll
in the state, and the big auditorium
doubtless viii be packed with men VIII

CANNOT UNDERSTAND IT

To the Addicksite there is something
strange and uncanny In the course OF
the official conduct OF President Nc
Kinley with respect to the Federal pa
tronage coming TO Delaware. Just as
soon as the Republican National Con-
vention in Philadelphia had seated the
Addicks delegates cry arose: This
puts an end to the dispensing power
Of Colonel DUPONT. Addicks is ma
tional committeeman, and he will deal
out the plumsl' But it seems that
President Mckinley was not impressed
favorably with the disgraceful action
Of the National Convention in disre-
garding precedent and seating the Ad-
dicksites. AT the instance OF Colonel
Dupont he appointed Jesse T. Sharp
postmaster at Seaford, and follows this
up by appointing Alfred ID. Handy
postmaster at Carpenter, in Brandy
wine hundred. Both men are Repub-
icans who are uncompromising in
their antagonism to Addicks and Adj
dicksism. While the Seaford recon-
mendation was made before the Phila-
delphia Convention, the Carpenter rec
ommendatlon was made afterwards.
But what is especially disturbing
and discouraging to the Addicksites is
the fact that Colonel DUPONT should
continue to occupy such close relations
with the administration as to be able
to go into the home hundred Of Ad-
dicks, and almost within sight Of his
residence, make an appointment known
10 be especially obnoxious to the gas
man and his following, but pleasing tC
the Republicans in that district.

INJUNCTION GRANTED
Sheriff Taylor Prevented From Sell
ing Forbes Properties

Chancellor Nicholson this morning
granted a temporary injunction pre-
venting Sheriff John e. Taylor from
selling the properties of Samuel ID.
Forbes, Artemas and Martin e.
Smith represented Mr.. Forbes, and
William S. Hilles represented Sheriff
Taylor. The properties were to have
been sold this afternoon.
THE sheriff has clearly violated the
law and has failed to do his sworn
duty, and is responsible to me for all
injuries done to me-" said Mr.. Forbes
to-day. "The sheriff had no right to
proceed on the real estate until he had
first exhausted the personal property.
and ! had more than enough to pay
double the amount of the claim. Had
the sheriff proceeded to sell contrary to
the law he would have vitiated the
title and made any entanglements, and
probably much trouble in the future for
innocent parties. All the claims they
had against me were conditional, and il
they had lived up to the conditions
they would have had their money"

Philadelphia. July 13.-James NJ.
Beck will be appointed assistant United
States attorney general to take the
place of Col. James Boyd. Directly on
the heels Of his resignation as United
States district attorney for the eastern
district and his statement that he had
left the Democratic party and would
henceforward he a Republican came
this announcement from Washington.
In Mr.. Beck's place in Philadelphia
James b. Holland was appointed. Mr..
Holland, who is naval officer of this
port. is a straightout Republican and
has been long slated for the position
when Mr.. Beck stepped out.
The oratorioal ability OF the retiring
district attorney will be called into
play throughout the coming campaign.
Mr.. Beck is specially popular as a
speaker in New York and in the west,
and it is said that he will be called on
to tour many of the close states.

Mr.. HANDY'S DEFEAT

Senator Kenney whipped Former
Representative Handy to a standstill att
the Kansas City Convention. Mr..
Handy wanted to be the Delaware
member OF the Democratic National
Committee and so did Mr.. Kenney. By
making Mr. Kenney chairman OF the
Delaware delegation Mr.. Handy hoped
that he had satisfied the wants OF the
senatorial accident from Kent county
But he had not properly measured Mr.
Kenney's ambitions for when it came
to the election Of a national committee
man there was a deadlock. Mr.. Ken
ney, Hezekiah Harrington and Edward
d. Hearne were for Mr. Kenney, while
Mr.. Handy, John G. Gray and George
II. Draper were for Mr. Handy. Mr..
Handy did all things possible to rem
edy this distressing condition. He went
TO Mr.. Harrington. who said 1t must be
Kenney or nobody. He went to Mr.
Hearne, who gave him the same reply
Then he appealed direct to Mr.. Ken
ney, hoping that he could reach his
heart, but Mr.. Kenney told him that i
must be "me, or nobody" Mr.. Hand,
sos5 him that he was chairman of thu
delegation. Mr.. Kenney said he didn'
care anything about that-anybodl
could have the craftsmanship OF tn
delegation. What he wanted was plac
on the National Committee. Mr.. Hand
argued, but with no effect. Finally h
gave in. Mr.. Kenney was made nation
al committeeman. Mr.. Gray, chairma
OF the delegation, and Mr.. Handy, men
Der Of the Committee on Resolution
Mr.. Handy didn't like It; in fact, b
doesn't like it yet. but what could h
do with Mr.. Kenney and his friends o'
cupying such a position as they did?
