REPUBLICANS HOLD CAUCUS.
81 The Republicans from Delaware held
e a caucus at the Walton last night, ana
nrepared their case for presentation TO
E the National Committee to-day.
n REPUBLICANS ARE CONFIDENT
The Republican delegates at the STEM
s. ton said they did not feel alarmed AZ
q the confident talk of Addicks. Ihey
8 saw that Addicks cannot lnhnence
d even % per cent. Of the Delaware ke-
publican vote. and that his alleged
threat to lose the state 10 the party
II his delegates are not. seated cannot
be carried out.
Henry n. Thompson asked about the
vice-presidential nomination, said: III
Governor Roosevelt will accept the
nomination. the Delaware Republicans
would be glad TO see him get H. He
has great many friends in our state,
and would be a tower of strength TO
the ticket Cornelius n. Bliss is also
good man, and / am inclined TO
think heiwill be nominated If the New
York delegates agree on him. Ihey
hold the key to the situation.
Many Of the delegates who arrived
Yesterday talked Of the anomalous posi-
fion of Senator Thurston in this con-
test. The senator is National Com
mitteeman. At st. Louis he was strong
lv against the Addicks crowd. This
year. Il Is said, he'will7 Purge his fellow
committeeman to seat the Addicks
delegates.
The delegates opposed to Addicks
expressed themselves as equally sure
that Addicks would get another defeat
and that the regular party nominees
would triumph "Mr Addicks has moi
changed HIS Tactics of his policy In th'
last four years" said Henry B. Thomp
son. "snd I cannot see what claims h'
has for recognition now that were no
brought forward then. The only thinl
he has done since is to tie up the Leg
islature SO that there is a vacancy 10
our state in the United States Senate.
THURsTON WANTS HARMONY.
Senator John M. Thurston, OF Ne
braska who. il had been announced
was to represent the Addicks factiol
when the Delaware contests We're take
up by the Republican National Com
