Philadelphia, Pa, June 20.-The
Union Republican party of Delaware
through its six delegates in the National
Republican Convention here today was
warmly greeted by the representatives
of Republicanism OF the entire country.
Headed by their leader, j. Edward Ad-
dicks, the Delaware delegation was ac-
corded their seats in the convention by
unanimous vote. The convention was
eager to seat the Delaware men. The
credentials committees report, coming
as it did with such an overwhelming
majority for the Union Republicans, was
not debated, argued or questioned. The
offer by Chairman Wolcott of time for
argument was declined. Delegates on
the floor cried out that they were ready
to vote, and vote they did, accepting
Congressman Payne's report unanimous
| ly. There the incident closed.
| The report Of the Committee on Gre
dentials and the adoption of the
platform were the only important matters
given to the mammoth assemblage today
for consideration. The nomination of a
Presidential candidate was not reached.
When Temporary Chairman Wolcott
called the convention the Delaware dele
gates, J. Edward Addicks, William B.
Clerk, J. Frank Alice, Alvin B. Connor,
DR.. 9. r. Layton and DR.. Hiram r. Bur-
ton were in their seats.
Before taking their seats the Delaware.
ans we're congratulated by Colorado,
Arkansas, Connecticut and Florida, who
have been sitting adjoining.
Cheers for Addicks.
Congressman Serene A. Payne as
Chairman of the Credentials Committee
took the platform to read the commits
tees report. The reading was accentu-
ated by frequent outbreaks of applause,
and it was evident that the spectators,
as well as the delegates, were in full ac-
cord with the decisions of the committee
in every case OF contest. When the re-
port of the State of Delaware was reached
and Congressman Payne announced that
the Union Republican delegates headed
by j. Edward Addcks, were placed on
the permanent roll, the applause was
loud and continued. Addicks' name
was the first one read. Hearty cheering
greeted it. Congressman Payne was
forced to wait until the applause sub
sided before he was able TO proceed and
make himself heard.
MIR. Payne, on behalf OF New York
|
| the adoption of the report. New Jersey
and Maryland seconded the motion. The
chair announced that forty minutes
would be allowed for debate-tW enty
minutes to each side. But nobody ap.
peared to champion the cause of the
dupont crowd. There was no debate.
The previous question was promptly
carried.
Mr.. Payne said debate was unneces-
sary. II don't want the twenty minutes
allotted to me" concluded the New York
Congressman.
There were loud calls from delegates
ON the floor for the question and inn
mediately thereafter motion to adopt
the report was carried unanimously and
thus all the contests we're determined
without single voice being raised in the
Convention in support of a contention
over disputed REPRESENTATION.
De1awareans Organize.

quarters this morning and completed

du Pont People Dismayed.
In distinct contradiction of the feeling
shared by everybody else the immediate
followers OF Colonel Henry A. du Pont
here today are dismayed. Their courage
seems to have deserted them. Today
they vainly attempted to arouse EN- husi-
asm in their cause at their handsome
headquarters at the Hotel Stanton. but
it was lame endeavor. Now that the
case has been decided against them, they
seemed shocked and decidedly resent
full.
Henry B. Thompson, who represents
Colonel du Pont, after some persuasion,
today made this statement:
III the National Republican party
chooses to endorse Mr.. Addcks and the
politics and policy he represents, it has
placed stone about its neck. The party,
when unsuccessful, has always taken
higher grounds than they have in this
liaiaware casa. The Il gular Etpuhlict
