REPUBLICANS
GAIN IN KENT
Many Former iddiCkSiteS
Leaving Union Fold
Quiet Work Of The Republicans Causing
CONSERVATION in Ranks Of
GaSman's Followers
Special to the Evening Journal


Smyrna, July 31.-The Addicks lead
ers OF Duck Creek hundred are in a
quandary Political matters are get
ting too warm for them, and the rapid
strides being made by the Republicans
OF this and Kenton hundreds show
conclusiyely that the Republicans are
dlsgusted with John Edward Addicks
Men here who hold honor higher than
Office are quietly working with the Re-
publican leaders.
These facts are not mere idle boasts
or campaign stories, started for pur-
pose, but are logical truths, apparent
to even the most radical Union Repub-
licans Of the district. The rule or ruin
policy of Addicks Is to be repudiated
Gin the First and Third representative
districts of Kent county. In the past
many men here have voted the Ad-
dicks ticket, not because they favored
the Boston man, with telephone resi-
dence in Delaware, but because they
wanted TO stay with the crowd" SEN
timent or a desire to stick to friends
will be eliminated this Fall, and these
men can no longer follow the man who
will even stOOp TO helping the Demo-
Gratis 10 gain his political ends There
is no great demonstration being made
here against the Union ticket.
Il is the quiet work that is telling.
The Republicans are pushing their
campaign against Addicksism with a
vigor and earnestness that is demoral-
izing to the enemies of Republicanism
in Delaware. lt was freely predicted
by the Union leaders in Smyrna that
the action OF the national convention in
Philadelphia would result in Republi-
cans OF Duck Creek hundred flocxing
to the Union camp. On the contrary.
the action Of the convention seemed TO
stimulate the Regulars for a more de-
termined fight. and they are now maxi
ing the great fight of their lives. One
thing is certain. The Addicks leader
OF Duck Creek hundred. DR.. r. c.
Moore. will never be sent to the COM
ing session OF the Legislature. His
defeat is regarded as certain. Men who
favored him when he was running for
state senator two years ago now open
ly declare they cannot support him for
representative. The untiring labors OF
the Republican leaders here are respon-
sible for this state of affairs. and il is
probable that DR.. Moore will be forced
to step out and allow some other mans
name to be placed upon the Union
ticket. In that event William A. FAIRIES
or Thomas Jefferson would be named
but neither could be elected, for the
Republicans will see that no mar
closely identified with Addicks viii
have chance to vote for the gas mar
for United States senator. No stone is
being left unturned, no detail. nc
matter how trifling or Insignificant
will be disregarded by the Republicans
Of this part Of old Kent to eliminate
from politics. once for all. the greatest
foe Republicanism has ever had in Del.

NEW DAM NECESSARY
Project Discussed by Water Commits.
sioners at Yesterdays Meeting

sioners at Yesterdays Meeting
At yesterday afternoons meeting Of the
Water Commission the necessity Of
new dam across the Brandywine az Clay
ton street was discussed.
The dam is used to pack mp water to be
diverted into the south race. for city use
and into the north race for the use OF the
William Lea x Sons Company.
As the present dam has stood for q
number Of years and is gradually wearing
away from the action OF the water, the
commissioners were unanimous that a
new stone dam would soon be a necessity
No definite action was taken.
Another matter discussed in connection
with the dam project was the removal Of
bar Of sand that has formed in the
Brandywine at Rattlesnake run. The bar
is about two hundred yards above the
breast of the dam, and is becoming a
nuisance.
Beyond the dam project routine busi-
ness only was transacted at the meeting.
The balance in bank was reported as SCI .
sO5.3S The weekly payroll Of 81 poe 50
and the monthly payroll Of 1888 were
passed
According 10 returns so far this year
water rents are being more promptly paid
than for several years past.
Registrar Grohe says the department
is less iniarrears for rents than il wars
last year. and indications are that all VIII

ment effect the result deslred9 Let
US reply in the language again of
Senator McEnery:
Under white rule the State re-
covered rapidly. Levees were re-
built; bonds have gone above par.
The State Treasury is full Schools
are prosperous for white and col
ored. Peace prevails everywhere.
The whites and negroes are on
cordial terms. Crime has decreased;
the courts impartially administer
justice White immigrants from
the West have come to Louisiana
in large numbers, where only the
corrupt carpet Dagger ventured be

of the State which has for its sole
object the advancement of both
races, and the tragic period of 1876

Republicans make no complaint
against the provisions of the present
constitution regarding suffrage.
The more intelligent negroes aCcent
it as a wise settlement of the queo
ton of suffrage. The ignorant Of
the negro race are indifferent about
it, as they have long ceased to have
any political affiliations except as
created by the purchase Of their
Vote
The next inquiry made by those
who fear to lose the ladder up which
they have climbed to seats, once to
be reached only by the voice of
intelligent freelnen of the white
race, is the question, will the courts
: sustain the Amendment as permits
sible by the Constitution of the
United States Time need not be
absorbed in the discussion of this
point. Senator Morgan, the great
est constitutional authority in the
Senate, has affirmed it in extended
argument, and the best men of the
profession in our State have shown
its consistency with the Constitu-
ton of the Union.
Why so much concern for the
constitutionality of the Amendment
on the part of those who oppose it
Why, if SO we'll satisfied that the
best legal minds are wrong, and the
Judgment of trained statesmen i
valueless, before their own opinions
and desires, do not they rather re
joice in the blunder of the Demo
cratic party, soon to see it's work
undoneo
No, their anxiety is not for q
broken Constitution and a disap
pointed Democracy; they will lose
no sleep grieving over our check
it is only that they dread to render
up the talent they have misused-
to see the day of reck oning come
and the opportunity forever lost Of
holding place and power, through
the hosts of the ignorant negro
blind to his interest, deceived by
his corruptors, misled by the arts O
the demagogue who sacrifices prln
ciple., society, and virtue for a mes:
of pottage.
The fears of such men for tn.
constitutionalitv of the Amendment
can only amuse-they can no lon
ger deceive.
