Addicks threatens to carry every dis
trict but one in Sussex. Will he do it?
Nit.-Sussex Countian.
1t Is certainly quite a remarkable con-
dition of things when vacancy at the
head of public schools in city no
larger than New Castle will bring three
dozen applicants for the place in less
than a fortnight, all of whom are gentle
men OF collegiate training or normal
school graduates.-New Castle News.
Every man who works for wages or
hire should think matters over for him
self during this campaign, and it would
be better for him if he should begin to
study issues early. He will vote more
intelligently il he reckons for himself

In the light Of the events of the late
Philadelphia Republican Convention, it
is rather significant that Dick has not
since been reelected secretary Of the
National Republican Executive Com
mittee. II was Secretary Dick who sold
out the Regulars and played the Execu-
tive Committee into the hands of Ad-
dicks. lt is now asserted that the law
partner of Mr.. Dick received $4,000 OF
Addicks' money for his services in ma
nipulating affairs for the secretary. II
all the facts were known there is nc
doubt but that it could be proved that
Mr.. Addicks used money as lavishly
around the National Committee rooms
at the Walton, as he ever did in buy
ing up elections in Delaware. Mr.. Ad'
dicks knows nothing else than the price
of things. even the cost of a vote of
national cOmmitteeman.-George'

Addicks himself is preaching har
mony and unity between the two fac
tions, but the concessions he wants art
all to be made by the other side, o
which he and his friends will receive
the benefit 1t is not at all likely tina
] the Regulars will supinely allow thi
1 to be done, especially as the other fac
ton will need their help to elect any o
their ticket. They will not thus be ig
nored and permitted only to be nomi
mated for inferior positions, when thei
services will be so badly needed to cleo
men to the more important ones. If thi
is the kind of a compromise to be mad
there is no justice in it, and the Regu
lars will be quick to find it out.-Dela
