In the New York Sun yesterday
there was long letter from Dover re-
viewing the political situation in Della
ware in its application to Adiicks
From it we take the following para
graph: IAN sorts OF personal schemes
are on foot. and the end is not IN
sight The feeling is even more bitter
than ever. The preponderance OF the
Republican sentiment in New Castle
county is against Addicks, no matter
what happens. although there are
many who have weakened in their an
tagonism to him. He is opposed Do
litieally because he made the vacancy
in 1895, because he failed to keep faith
in 1899 and permit somebody else to b,
elected as his friends had promised
because he put up an Independent
ticket in Wilmington in 1899 and gav
the Democrats control OF the city gov
ernment; because they have a stronl
personal dislike for that type of man
and because, as they contend, the elec
tion Of Addicks TO the Senate woul
be a disgrace and a blot upon the nam
Of the State"

MAKE mo- MISTAKE

Goyernor-eleet John Hum has re.
ceived from the Republican party and
the people of Delaware a high honor
that comes to but few men. and one
which, IL worn worthily, will reflect
lasting distinction, not only upon him
but also upon all who belong to him.
We are confident that he knows this,
and that it Is his desire to make for
himself a record which will mark him
as one OF the very best governors that
Delaware ever had. For these reasons
we cannot credit the persistent rumors
that he intends to appoint Dr. Caleb r.
Layton, of Georgetown. his secretary
of State.
The selection OF DR.. Layton would
be obnoxious to all the people, and
more particularly so to the governor
elects very best friends within the Re
publican party. Or, Layton has none
OF the qualities demanded by the
Office. He is not a man Of legal learn
ing and judicial mind. II the office OF
secretary OF State were a dispensary or
an inhrmary, or something of that
kind, there might be some fitness in
such a selection but it is not.
Dr. Hayton's acts always have been
characterized by rashness and vindict-
iveness, rather than by calm delibera-
tion and justness. In many respects
he Is a dangerous man to be placed I'm
control OF such an important Office
and not a safe and suitable person 10
occupy the place Of confidential rela-
ton to the States executive. His very
presence in the chair OF secretary of
State would discredit the admlnistra-
tion Of Governor HUM at the start
and lay 1t open TO continued suspicion
in the public mind We have no man
TO suggest for the place. but we do
urge upon the governor-elect the wis
dom of selecting a man in whom both
he and the people will repose the ut
most confidence.
Former Governor Reynolds Is a liv-
ing example of what befalls a man
who makes a shameful misuse of the
powers of this important Office. No
man ever assumed it under brighter
auspices. But he affiliated with. and
followed the advice Of the very worst
elements in his party. with the result |
that his administration is a bitter
memory and lasting reproach, and
he is in obscurlty. It would have beer
better for him, and also for the State
II he never had held the Office. One
Of the grayest mistakes he made was
in the selection of his secretary OF
State, John ID. Hawkins.
Some of the Addiclxs leaders sav
they have Mr.. HUM in such a position
that he must appoint DR.. Layton
whether he wants to or not We don't
believe It, Mr.. HUM is not a man to
permit anybody to put him in such
position, and such declarations from
the Addicks side are unjust and in.

From Georgetown Regular Republ

From Georgetown Regular Republican.
The senatorial situation is attract
ing more and more attention as the
time for the session of the Legislature
draws near. Addicks. who was claim
ing not only one but both senatorships
Immediately after the election. has ap-
parently concluded that his shouting
had better be postponed until he is out
of the woods, and is now quoted as
being sure Of an election to one SEN
atorship. This should create no sur
prise, because he has according to his
own assertion. been in just this posi-
tion since his appearance at Dover in
1889. but thus far has failed to make
good his assertion, and at present is
Just as far from the senatorship as in
the past.
There are a number Of the Republi-
cans elected to the Legislature, who
were nominated and elected for the
purpose Of defeating Addicks,and they
will be true to their trust. Addicks
with all of his bOasting, lacks suffi-
cient votes to make himself senator,
and there is no prospect whatever of
his being able to obtain the requisite
number OF votes. He is Counting all
the doUbtfuls in his favor, and yet is
no nearer than two years ago. That
he claims these is no assurance that
they will vote for him, but conceding
him all he claims. he cannot be elect
ed unless some Of the sO-called Regu-
lar Republicans or Democrats vote for
him. The latter is not impossible. but
very improbable. The Democratic
party were taught a lesson two years
ago that they win not soon forget. and
n this campaign were particular about
their nominees. and no Addicks Demo.
crat was nominated. although it was
attempted I'm several districts. Fol
this reason we do not believe AddiclIs
can obtain a single Democrat Ever
the possibility OF such is an evidenc,
Of weakness in the Democratic party.
Twenty-Five years ago such a thing
would have been impossible. Farl0w

LAYTON Is PREPARING
TO MOVE UP TO DOVER
Special to The Evening Journal

Georgetown. Dec. 3.-It has been
stated that when Governor-electSH Hum
was in Wilmington on Friday he told a
number Of persons that he had not and
would not make his choice OF secretary
Of State for some time.
DR. Caleb r.. Layton contradicts the
gOvernor-elect. Robert il. Richards
and David J. Beinhardt. of Whining
ton. were here last week on a cunning
trip. They saw Or. Layton and had q
talk with him. and the doctor told
hem positively, in the presence of
other persons. that he had been prom
sed the place of secretary Of State and
that he was az that time making his
arrangements to move to Dover. He
said he had been assured by a mes
senger who came direct from the gov
ernor-elect, that he would succeed

DEAR coy" LETTERs-No.

Ny Dear Boy-As an American citizen
| am happy over the vast progress made
by the United States during the admin
istration OF VIM. Mckinley.
1t is true that the increase of our
wealth, the enlargement OF our posses
sions, and the position which we have
gained among the nations OF the earth,
have brought to us u vast increase Of
responsibility. However, this RESPONSE
bility came to us providentially, unex-
pectedly and unsought; and, il we are
true to ourselves and to righteousness,
the God of nations will guide us in the
future as in the past.
1t is also true that there are some sad
things to contemplate in this connection.
War is always sad, and we have had
practically three wars on our hands
None of them could be foreseen four
years ago. We were pushed into them
and it is n good thing that we had so
wise pilot at the helm in this critical
period of our nations history. But while
there are things that make one sad, there
are many more to make one glad, and
it is of these things that wish TO speak
First-The better state Of feeling be-
tween the North and the South You
were born since those old days and can
have but little idea of the intense bit
tcrness cngendered by the Civil War. IL
was Il common saying at the close of the
war that it would take several genera
tions for the enmity TO pass away Men
thought it impossible that North and
South should come together heartily dur
ing the lifetime Of the men who fought
the battles and the women who gave
their husbands and their sons to the
Northern and Southern causes Gradu-
ally the feeling between the sections be-
came better. We made long stride
forward during the summer that Gar
field lay dying and the whole nation.
North and South, watched by his bed
side in anxiety, hope and fear. But the
Spanish American war finished the trou-
