25c and SOC Bottles.
Evening journal., 1900-06-12

One Of the senseless items which
emanates from Dover is to the effect
that the colored people in that section
refuse to answer the questions pro
pounded by the census enumerators
because they fear that a conspiracy is
on foot TO send them all to Africa. II
is unnecessaryto say that such a story is
all yarn. If the census were being con-
Quoted under the direction OF a Demo-
cratic administration, It would be fool
ish enough to send out such an item
even though there is no doubt that the
Democrats would like to send several
hundred thousand colored voters out OF
the country at such a critical time as
this.

In every part Of the state the feeling
exists that If the Philadelphia Con-
yention refuses to recognize Addicks
and his one-man organization the
cause Of Addickslsm will die. The Ad-
dicks men know OF that feeling, and
that II portends a dissolution of their
organization. That is why they are so
eager for recognition. The outcome of
the struggle in Philadelphia means life
or death to them. With the seal of H.
legitimacy put upon them at st. Louis.
they lost many of their best men. Re
affirmation Of that declaration by the
Philadelphia Convention will seal the
fate OF the Addicks outfit, for men do
not want to be connected with an ille-
gitimate body. Disintegration already
has set in down in Kent and Sussex.
the Addicks strongholds, and here
in New Castle county the Addicks or
ganization never has had any strength
worth considering. With the help CT
the National Convention, which stands
for Republican principles, the Addicks
cancer will be cut out Of the body po-
litic in Delaware and the Republican
party will obtain that political power
in the state which it would have had
long ago, but for the nefarious work
done by Addicks in behalf Of the
Democratic party.

FAIR WORDS FOR FOUL PURPOSES

Defeat the Democrats and elect an
entire Republican ticket forstate offices,
and then talk about United States SEN
ators."
These words are credited to ]. Ed
ward Addicks. He is reported to have
addressed them to the Addlcks Com.
mittee Of New Castle county at a meet
ing held in this city on Saturday after
noon. II the members Of that commit
tee had any sense Of humor they must
have smiled at this piece Of hypocriu-
cal cant made for exploitation in the
newspapers at this particular time
when the Addicks organization is Oh
such a precarious footing.
These are fair words to come from
the mouth Of a man who has done the
Democratic party greater service than
any man within the Democratic ranks
but they are part and parcel of a foul
conspiracy to strike another blow al
Republicanism in Delaware. There never
has been a time in the career Of Addicks
when the state and county tickets wer,
not made subservient to, and sacrificed
for, If necessary, his ambition to be 4
United States Senator. He has ever
carried his selfish fight into the elec
ton in the city of Wilmington.
When George w. Bush was runnin,
for mayor last June did Addicks sa,
to his City Committee?:
Defeat the Democrats and elect al
entire Republican ticket for city oni
GERS and then talk about United State
senatOrs?"
No; and everybody in Delawer
knows that he did not. What he sal,
was:
Nominate William b. Clerk to rul
against Bush, elect the entire ticket 70
city officers, and then talk about Uni
ted States senator, and Sc If the Re
publicans won't listen"
Does he deny It? Let him do so whe-
he goes to Philadelphia to plead hi
cause, and there will be men there I
meet and refute his denial.

ADDlcKs LlTANY

This is the newest section Of the lit
any which the Addicks leaders are
chanting to the members Of the Repub-
iican National Committee and the del
egates to the National Convention:
The Union Republicans went into the
municipal campaign and nominated
candidates simply to preserve the unity
of their party as a complete political
organization. II is the Republican party
OF this state, and as such was in duty
bound to take cOgnizance OF and part
in the election OF officers for this city.
Let us prove that his statement is a
falsehood, out OF the whole cloth.
While the Legislature was in session
in January, February and March, 1899,
the Addicks leaders made the threat
that unless the Republicans consented
to the election OF Addicks to the United
States Senate they proposed to nomi-
nate an Independent ticket at the Will
mington election and defeat the Repub-
licans in every ward in the city. It
was enc Of many clubs held over the
heads of the Republicans to force
them to disgrace themselves by con-
senting to the election Of Addlcks. The
Republicans refused to be coerced and
the Addicksites carried out their threat.
They did not go into the campaign
Simply to preserve the unity Of their
party as a complete political organiza-
tion," but with the avowed purpose of
defeating the Republican ticket and
olecting the Democratic ticket.
Equally false is the declaration that
the Addicks outfit is the Republican
party Of the state. 1t has been repudi-
ated by the Republicans of Delaware;
It has been repudiated by the Republi-
can National Committee and the Re
publican National Convention at st.
Louis; it has been repudiated by the
Mckinley administration; It has been
repudiated by the local authorities of
the State Of Delaware; it has been re-
pudiated by the present Republican
National Committee and it will be re-
pudiated by the forthcoming Republi-
can National Convention. Such false
hoods as those now put forth by the
Addicksites will not excuse or save
them. Addicksism is destined to receive
its death blow in Philadelphia this
week and next.

Mayor Ashbridge is playing the
part Of an artful dodger with the peo-
pie Of Philadelphia. In his eagerness to
protect Mr.. English, his director of
public safety, he has made a reply
which does not go to the seat Of the
controversy. It is evasive from start
to finish, and not creditable to a man
OF his high official position. The Phila-
delphia North American has made the
plain and positive declaration that Mr..
English threatened to make a scanda-
lous attack on the private character OF
John Wahamaker unless the North
American submitted to be gagged by
the Quay people. Mr. English denied
the allegation. In mass meeting as
sembled, the people OF Philadelphia de
manded Of Mayor Ashbridge that h,

vestigation to settle forever this cues

the sneak act in obedience to explicit OF
tacit orders received from the head OF
the department?
In our opinion the mayor is playing
poor game in defying the people of
his own city and preventing them from
getting at the truth OF the matter. The
mayor has replied. but the controversy
remains wide open.
Did Mr.. English want to gag the
North American?
Did Mr.. English set his police spies
on John Wanamaker?
Did Mr.. English so to the North
American Office and threaten to
blacken the character OF Mr.. Wana-
maker unless the North American,
edited by Mr.. Wanamaker's son, per-
mitted him to dictate its policy in GER
tain respects?
Did Mr.. English resort to the low
down expedient of using the love of
the son for the father as club to-
coerce the son into doing a thing
which he knew to be wrong?

Mayor Ashbridge should remove him,

GEORGE ". BUSH
PASSES AWAY
Heart Disease Ends the Life
Of WCII-knOWn Citizen
Was Better To-day and His Death
Came in the Nature Of a
Deep Shock

George w. Bush died at his home,
No 7O5 West street, at 935 o'clock
this morning. With his death there
passed away one of the most progress
sive citizens and widely-known busi-
ness men of Wilmington.
Mr. Bush was seized with an affec-
tiOn of the heart a week ago last Fri
day. Despite the best Of medical skill
and attention, he gradually became
weaker, until his death ensued to-day.
George W. Bush was born on August
81, 1924. He was the youngest son Of
David Bush, who, in 1916, then in his
seventy-first year, gave up his share OF
the business of David and George Bush
to his son. The firm name was then
changed to George and George w.
Bush. The senior member of the firm
died in 1868, and the business was con-
tinued by Mr. Bush. In 1873 he took
into partnership his eldest son, Wal
ter ID. Bush, and the firm became
George W. Bush and Son. In 1882
George w. Bush, Jr., a younger son.
was admitted to the firm. and the
present name of George w. Bush and
Sons Company was adopted. The
business was commenced by Samuel

Of its kind in the country.
In May of last year George w. Bush
was nominated for mayor on the Re
publican ticket, but was defeated by the
Democratic nominee. DR.. John c..
Fahey.
He had never held a public office, ex-
cept that of park commissioner Mr..
Bush had been a director of the First
National Bank since its organization.
and was at one time president of the
Artisans Saving Bank. He was a
prominent member of Central Presby-
terian Church, and it was largely
/ through his efforts that the recent ex-
tensive improvements we're made to
that edifice.
CONDITION SEEMED IMPROVED.
Although Mr.. Bush had been in ex-
tremely delicate health for the past
few DAYS, his condition this morning
was apparently much improved. He
passed a comfortable night, sleeping so
soundly that the thunder storm failed
to arouse or disturb him. He seemed SO
much better early this morning that
the family entertained hopes of his re-
covery, and felt considerably encour-
aged.
About o'clock, however. he hat
an attack of the heart, which caused
i death in q few minutes. DH Bullock
was with him when he died. Mr.. Busf
is survived by his wife and these sons
