RESENT THE TREAT MEM Vt
THEIR PARTY BY THE ADMIN
1sTRATIoN AND OMIT THE
PRESIDENTS NAME FROM THEIR
RESOLUTIONS.
Allegiance to J. Edward Addicks ap-
peared to be the slogan at the Union
Republican Convention at Dover yes
terday. When Addicks moved from
his seat. there was applause; and when
he onened his mouth to speak. the lis
tening stiffness was intense. His words
went to the ears of his delegates with
as much welcome as dollars to their
pockets. AS deliberative convention
uhe gathering was grotesque. A few
had planned a cut and dried procedure.
No motions were made or seconded by
any who were not previously desig-
mated. Dr. Marshall, Dr. Layton, j..
Frank Alice, Walter Hayes and Mr..
Addicks and the chairman were in fact
the only ones who had a voice at all
in the proceedings. They were the
whole show.
In their resolutions President Nc
Kinleys name is not mentioned, and
their delegates will apply at the con-
vention at Philadelphia uninstructed.
At the afternoon session the COM
mittees on credentials, permanent or
ganization and on resolutions sub
mitted their reports. AS was reported
In yesterdays issue, David S. Clark
and William d. Denny were made per-
manent chairman and secretary.
Walter Hayes presented the report
OF the committee on resolutions which
was as follows:
Whereas. The only victories ever
gained at the POLLS over the democrats
in the State Of Delaware, we're won as
the result OF that policy which not
only secured the work and votes of all
electors of the state, who we're opposed
TO democratic rule in Delaware, but
also recognized that such work and
votes were necessary TO achieve such
result; and
Whereas. The union republican
party Of Delaware is firmly convinced
that success in defeating the demo.
Gratis at any and all future elections IN
this state can only be attained by tho
adoption Of and compliance with thai
same policy; and
Whereas, Said union republican
party is unalterably opposed to the
adoption of any party platform OF
faa
any republican, whether called regular
or union, Of the state shall be deprived
or excluded from either the opportun
ity Of laboring to defeat the demo
cratic party, CT Of receiving any OF tn,
honors OF place or office resulting from
such defeat; and
Whereas, Further, the said union re
publican party in state convention as
sembled, believes that the republican
electors Of Delaware, without regar,
to past differences, are earnestly AM
sincerely desirous of having only on
candidate fer each national, state. .coun
ty. district and hundred office, to b
filled at all future elections TO be hel,
in this state and to have such candi
dates receive the support and votes O
all such republicans and other goo
citizens of the state so that victor
will be thereby assured over the demo

Resolved by the union republican
party Of Delaware in state conventio,
assembled that the union Republican
State Central Committee of Delawar
is hereby directed authorized and en-
powered to use all fair and honorabl
means to secure for the republica
electors Of Delaware, irrespective {
past differences, one set OF candidate
for all offices to fill which the genera

Of not only laboring to defeat tt
democratic party but also Of recei'
ing any OF the honons Of place or o

NJ. Hayes said that in presentir
this report he did not want to appe;
TO be making overtures to anybod,

ADDICKs READS PLATFORM.
As J. Edward Addicks stepped up,
the stage to read the platform of tl
party, the stiffness was very motto
able, but for an instant only: each o
of his followers seemed to make an Z
fort to outdo the other in applaudi,
and cheering him.
I'm presenting the resolutions. 81
MIR. Addicks, Il can say to Won tn

port. We are all republicans p,
haps the resolution which is OF I
most importance to us is the one abe
