LEVI c. BIRD SPEAKS.

From the Daily Republican.
Levi c. Bird, is quoted by the Bati-
more Sun, while on visit TO Washing
ton, az saving that he had little hope of
Republican success in Delaware at the
next election. "The Republicans are
divided into factions that fight each
other bitterly and the same is true OF the
Democrats. The Legislature to be elect
ed will be called upon to choose two T..
S. Senators, but greatly doubt if they
will elect one for there is a fine prospect
OF re repetition Of the deanlock that was
caused by the candidacy OF Mr.. Addicks.
As Addicks will offer again for Senator, /
see no nope OF an improvement in the
present deplorable conditions, as he will
have sufficient following, no doubt. to
keep any one else from obtaining the
Office" II this be so, why not make
some honorable compromise and elect
two Republican Senators.

FOR THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Things political are getting lively ont
in Christiana hundred. In the Seventh
representative district George W. Spicer,
Jr., Salisbury man, and Joseph G.
Foster, Biggs man, are making a stiff
fight for the Democratic nomination for
a seat in the House. On the Republican
side Former Sheriff William Finn is a
candidate for the Anti-Addicks nomina-
tion for representative. and Representa-
tive George Frizzel, Union Republican,
would like to have a second term.
In the Fourth senatorial district,
which comprises Mill Greek and part oi
Christiana, Senator James Shakespeare
Antl.Addcks candidate, while Deputy
Sheriff Benjamin A. Groves would like
to represent the Republicans. William J
Armstrong, the Democratic senatorial
aspirant, is unopposed for the nomina
tion.

NOT A QUESTION OF ADDICKS
From tnq Milford chronlcle.

From the Milford Chronicle.
1t is not question OF Addicks that
agitates the DUPONT people; but they
realize that if the Union Republicans
pro position to divide the ticket between
'Regulaes" and Union Republicans is
accepted, they would not be able to con-
troll majority Of their own faction to
place Colonel Henry A. DUPONT as their
choice for United States Senator This is
the wormwood and gall at the bottom of
the cup filled by their owg acts.
President Mckinley was assured, that
il the patronage OF Delaware was given
to Colonel Henry A. DUPONT, that he
could be made Senator from this State,
and the President took this in good faith
and delivered the goods to them; but
they have failed to make good their
promises-with a prospect that they
never will be fulfilled. With this condi-
tion OF affairs, the DUPONT office holders
stand discredited at court while the
Union Republicans have kept an un-
broken front under unfair treatment by
the administration, and prosecutions by
the fusion eff lrte of Democrats and Greg
ular" Republicans.
At present the outlook is that the
next administration will need two Re-
publican Senators from Delaware; and
IT is acknowledged that the Representa-
tive in Congress must be held at all
hazards from here. The same power that
made trouble and discord can make
peace; and that power has no sentiment
as to the likes or dislikes Of any individ-
ual, or set OF individuals, in Delaware.
If the discordant elements are ever
brought together for one ticket the re
must be fair play and no treachery-
and with this, Delaware will cast tt
vote for the Republican party next No
vember.

Ao5ND TO HAVE ISLANDS
she Purpose of Duying Danish West

Government.

Washington, March lit is learned
that the purpose OF the government
TO acquire the island of st. Thomas for
reasonable consideration from Dem
mark has not been abandoned not'yith-
standing the statement attributed to
the Danish ministers indicating dec:
sion not To part with the island. While
il is not contemplated that any pres
sure should be brought TO bear upon
DVnmark ON this matter. il is still be-
lic,ed that the last announcement in
the ease is perhaps only an evidence
OF II purpose on the part of the Danish
authorities 10 secure higher price
for the island than the United States
had regarded as proper. Ii is probable
that no active effort will be made by
our government 10 hasten the negotia-
tions on this subject, but having
learned that the finances of the island
showed deficit last year of $4,000 in
spite of the most rigid economy in the
administration. "A sum charged up
against the home government, il is be-
lieved that our terms will ultimately
be accepted, if reduced to a concrete
proposition TO pay $3,00O,000 for ST.
