Many Are Deserving the Stan

As RESULT OF HIS THREAT
To Again Turn the State Of Della

New Castle June 1-Addicksism in
New Castle hundred is on the wane,
and by the time the general electaRn is
held there will not be a coupesal' s
guard around the standard OF the man
who has again threatened to turn the
state over into the hands Of the Demo-
cratic party. And this determination
OF the Republicans of this hundred. II
is felt here, will be just retribution
for the man who is already responsible
for much of the political corruption
which now exists in this state.
Addickslsm in New Castle hundred
had its birth about six years ago, when
agents of the Claymont man organized
a party which, by trickery and motives
never dreamed of by the Republicans
of this community, managed TO obtain
such influence as to seriously interfere
with honest politics. Since that time
Addicksism has had a gOodly following
here but the rein by which the Repub-
licans have been held has been broken,
and the men who several years ago
marched under the banner OF the Clay
mont man now see the error OF their
way and not few of them have de-
clared that they are done with Addlcks
and all his followers. There are, there
fore, bright prospects for the success Of
the Republican ticket in this hundred
at the coming general election.
THEY'RE DONE WITH ADDICKS.
"Addicksism In this hundred" said a
leading Republican 10 the representa-
tive OF the Evening Journal last night,
II believe to be a crime OF the past
ffr .tr4aN oh .st.
years ago it has been a party OF cor
ruption. In fact it was born In cor
ruption. It was the creation OF . few
men who after having prohted by re-
lation with the party as a whole be-
came disgruntled when they had TO
step out. Just at that time Addicks
was abroad in the land and being
anxious that he should appear In the
political arena OF this little state,
made most fiattering inducements TO
the people here. Many of them accept
ed his tempting offers, and the taint OF
that bargain was a reproach to them
for many years During their relation
with Addicks they have been co-part-
ners in his many crimes, which are too
woll-xnown to be rehcarsed at this
time In this hundred many OF them
have been especially instrumental in
furthering the plans of this boodler to
reach the highest Office within the gift
of the people of the state Now they
see that to cling to the man who has
debauched the electorate and has
threatened to pile up additional bur
dens on the Republican party, and In
cidentally to predict success for the
Democrats OF this commonwealth, is
no longer cause in which honest men
men who have the interests OF their
home at heart, should longer be en-.
gagged in. To-day many of these men
tell me they are done with this charac'
ter. and believe they win speak to the
world when the people OF their state
call them to the ballot box.
Yes we see a rift in the cloud oi
Addickslsm which has blighted oul
temporal as well as our political exis
tence during the past twelve years. Th'
end Is dawning. Wanderers are re
turning. They are being welcome,
with open hands. and when the poll
close on election day, Addicksism II
New Castle hundred will have receive,
such a blow as viii stagger II, anl
cause the one man party in this stat
70 essentially fail under the weight o
its own corruption. And prohtabl
viii be the fall OF t."
