Maue desperate py tne kn0Wledge I
certain Union Republican victory in
every section of this State the insurgent
Anti-Addicks Republicans have agreed
upon campaign of sophism and wilful
misrepresentation in last attempt to
prejudice the Philadelphia National Con-
| vention and seek the recognition OF the
Anti-Addicks national delegates. To
this last resort the insurgents were
driven by general belief that tidal
wave of revival has swept among the
members Of the Republican National
Committee in favor OF the majority Re.
publican party Of Delaware. This latest
| Anti-Addicks scheme was conceived at
conference, in which Colonel dupont and
his two political henchmen, Hugh G.
Browne and George A. Elicit, formed
the entire party.
DUPONT, Browne and Elliott decided
that something must be done to make AN
impression on the National Committee
and National Convention. A press agent
was selected aud started down tirough
tie State. His duty is to imagine. His
work is chronicle an imaginary disinter-
grafton of tine Union Republican party.
These chronicles are now appearing in
| Colonel duPont's personal newspaper.
Tne hope ii the DUPONT henchmen, as
express d by an Anti-Addicks Repubi-
can Yesterday to representative OF THE
Sun, is that newspapers outside the
Safe will credit the matter prepared by
this press agency.
The result of the Anti Addcks can
vass of Kent and Sussex counties during
the week just past has proved fact
which the du Pont hirelings have un-
consciously admitted-there is in those
two lower county only one Republican
party, and that, ,they confess, is the Union
Republican organization.
The towering strength of the Union
Republicans in Kent and Sussex is so
well known to every political prognosti-
Gator that the most highly colored pre-
varications will not admit of any attempt
to declare that Union Republicans are
not in majority OF both Democrats and
insurgent Republicans in lower Della
ware.
Now tor Common Primaries.
The insurgent Anti-Addcks Rapubl
cans thought we're of the campaign
being conducted by du Pont and his
henchmen, Browne and Elliott, until the
attention OF several Anti-Addicksites
was called yesterday to position in which
the claim OF Union Republican disin-
tegration placed them. The fight is
against j. Edward Addicks, the Union
Republican leader, and despite repeated
offers the Anti-Addicksites have refused
to go into common primaries because
they admitted the Union Republicans
would cast the bulk of the votes and that
would mean victory for Mr.. Addicks
Now the Anti-Addicks Republicans claim
the Union Republican party is disin-
tegrating and has gone to pieces. They
may now enter common primaries with
out fear of defeat.
That phase of the situation was laid
before several Anti-Addicks Republicans
in this city yesterday by representa-
tive of TIE Sun and the question was
asked whether or not the Anti Addicks
| men would now agree on common
primaries. In every case the, reporter
received an answer to the effect that no
one in New Castle county believes the
. Union Republican party in Kent and
Sussex county has disentergrated. Hence
the insurgents in this CITY do not hesitate
in giving the lie to the stories being in
culated by du Pont, Browne and Elliott,
Union Republicans Agree.
Union Republicans in Sussex county
evidently are of the same opinion re-
garding the common primaries. They
. seem. to be willing to demonstrate that
the Union Republican organization in
the lower part of the State remains the
same. The Union Republican, pub
lished at Georgetown by DR.. Caleb II
Layton, the Union Republican county
: chairman OF Sussex, said yesterday rela-
tive to the diSintegration tale:
ssThe Evening Journal, Repubii-
can paper,sunder Democratic man

DE regrinations of its Democratic

grated, busted as it were, will now
