every attempt at the uniication Of the
Republican vote in this state. It de-
manded-absurd as it may seem in poll
tics-that Mr. Addicks should withdraw
from the United States Senatorial Can
vass and also from active interest and
participation in the politics Of the state.
He refused to listen to the Republican
National Convention, and also to tue
President Of the United States, when
they suggested that he modify his lac
tional views and agree to terms OF party
unity. This was the situation up to the
meeting OF the convention Of yesterday.
This convention was decidedly anti
du Pont. The one general result Of lts
proceedings is the removal Of Colonel
du Pont from the leadership pof the Reg
ulars'' and the installation Of ex-senator
Higgins. So far, therefore, ex-senator
Higgins differs from Colonel du Pont, IN

Some philosopher has said: "lmita-

yention OF yesterday paid that kind Of a
compliment to the Union Republicans.

I. WORK OF THE CONVENTION.

Exit du Pont.
1t is too early to attempt to sum up all
the results Of the convention Of yester-
day. This however is evident. Colonel
Fl. A. du Pont was practically eliminated 4
from the leadership Of what has been 4
known as the Regular Republican or
ganization,
That an attempt wa made at the dele
gate elections u pack the convention il
favor Of Colonel du Pont was evident
while the canvass and the election was
going forward. TIE men against whom
this effort was made were in the conven.
ton however and were much ID evi-
dence. The men WHO made the effort
were not there, d i there we're net
much in evidence.
Ex-senator Higgins was il control.
We have 40 doubt but that he enjoyed
the situation, II viii Be remembered
that Colonel du Pont' advent into Della
ware politics was during the now famous
senatorial contest of 1895 and il was evil
dent that neither Ex-senator Higgins
nor George n. Massey, who were the
principal contestants, could be elected
United States Senator. When Mr.. Hig-
gins and Nh. Massey agreed in this CON
clusion, Mr.. Massey is credited with the
discovery of Colonel du Pont as an avail
able candidate, and one whom he ex-
pected would stampede the Addicks
forces in the general assembly Of that
year. Mr.. Higgins after some prelimi.
nary skirmishing consented to accept the
Colonel az a candidate and he was named
The acheme failed. Colonel du Pont die
not stampede the Addicks forces, but al
attempt was made, in which, if we re
member rightly Mr.. Higgins was active
to force Colonel du Pont into the Unitet
States Senate. That too failed. The ef
fort however made du Pont the dispense
of patronage. This was the beginning 0
the du Pont leadership. There was moth
ing in it but the baube OF patronage
Upon this du Pont attempted to build
personal political party q which he wa
to be the boss. In building this part
the men who had made him POLITICAL
were ignored; Ex-senator Higgins, VIII
by virtue of his senatorial election an
service had been the dispenser Of patrol
age, with the rest.
The du Pont party seems to be a fl
ture in Delaware politics. He controlle
the bolter organization that had bee
recognized by the National ConventiC
at st. Louis, and was in favor at Was
ington. The Colonel seemed to be ei
trenched and invulnerable. The oft
holders and office seekers gathere
around him and for four years he hi
played the boss He took the positiC
OF an irreconcilable. 1t was his party

PftSfeld, Mass, Aug. 21-The search
for the burglars Who Shot and killed Miss
May Fosburg, The 24-yeal-old daughter
Of r. r. Foshurg. Buffalo contractor,
at the Fitsfield residence Of the family,
has extended to practically the whole
Of Berkshire county. While a great
many uncouth looking strangers have
been detained by the police, there is no
reason to believe that any Of them was
concerned in the Fosbug burglary.
The mayor, in behalf of the city, has
announced that reward Of 81 800 will
be paid for information which will lead
to the apprehension Of the three burglars,
or $500 for the capture Of any one Of
them. About i 800 men were out the
greater part Of the night patrolling the
country roads and mountains of the out
lying districts. Every road, public and
private, is guarded closely by special
officers, constabcs, detectives and citi-
Zcns.
Chief of Police Nicholson who issued
the call for volunteers, received responses
from nearly 1000 men and boys, great
many more than he could possibly furnish
with arms. All who joined the man hunt
were instructed TO use their weapons if
necessary Ill the event of any Of the
robbers being corncrcd.
Chief Of Police Nicholson is still Of the
opinion that the much wanted men arc
hiding somewhere in the vicinity Of Pitts

Call for a Caucus Law.

There is disposition in our State to
"take sides" as to whether caucus
law is desirable or not. One element
favors the enactment of such a statute,
arguing that no one has the right to
vote in caucus called by party to
which he does not owe allegiance, while
the other contends that the restriction
as to caucuses is limitation of the
the free action of the people; that many
times voters change and the present
loose methods without registration,
enable people help nominate those they
intend TO support at the polls, irrespec.
tive of party. On the main issue the
Waterman contributes a little history.
1t appears that in 1896 Representative
Palmer of Waterbury, introduced bill
regulating caucuses--specifying who
should be entitled to vote in the prima-
ries-similar to the laws ic force in
other states. The House passed the
bill by large majority, but it was
killed in the Senate, because some
thought it was re Election on Gov.
Circuit, the vote for whom at the nomi-
nation in the primaries would, it was
alleged, hardly bear strict party inspec-
ton. If this is true, there is ali the
more reason why the Legislature of
1900 should regulate the primaries of
all parties, and to do 30 is no more an
invasion Of personal rights than the
Australian ballot for elections. Ben
