Willard Salisbury Frightened
by the Union Republican
Ticket Named at Dover.
GIVES OUT AN INTERVIEW
Realizes Strength of the Dover
Ticket---Anything That the
Democrats Don't Want
the Republicans Do.

Willard Salisbury, State Chairman of
the Democrats. is on the run. He Quails
before the towering strength of the
Union Republican ticket named ut
Dover last Monday. He rushed in
print yesterday and in a column inter
view in Il Democratic paper published
in Baltimore and to be circulated in
lustriously in this State ut the instance
of Salisbury money, he tells what
horrid result will attach the work Of
last Monday.
If the ticket is objectionable TO viii
lard salisbury. every Republican i'll
Delaware should feel anxious to work
for it and vote for it.
Saulsbnry goes on record as saying
Delaware will give 5000 Democratic ma
iolity In every political camp in the
city. yesterday, his prediction was
laughed TO Scorn.
Salisbury. like Colonel Henry \.
du pont. was not prepared for the play
made by the Union Republicans, and
the conSumation of the Union Republi-
can plan, fell like Knockout blow i'll
the camp of the fusionists. They have
Just hegun to recover from the lick,
and like prize fighter who has been
sent to drcamland. they are somewhat
dazed. As one du pont leader said;
I'VE thought Addicks was bluiling. but
he played his hand stronger than we
thought
Somewhat recovered. Salisbury is the
first of the flSioniStS to rush into print.
He fires away lot Of tommy rot about
honesty. decency and morality. Now Il
man with such Il clouded political life
in all three elements named. the inter-
view is sufficient to urge every tcpubli-
can to the support of the Dover ticket
Salisbury said:
''If sound moral forces operate in
Delaware we are certain 10 elect the
whole Democratic ticket by plurlities
ranging from between 800 and 1000 for
the electors to 1900 to 5000 for our
candidate for Governor. The issue of
our campaign for State officers depends
as little on political considerations as
does a local campaign iii South Carolina,
Mississippi or Louisiana. or as did the
fight in New York City against the
Tweed ring. Questions of honesty, de-
cency and morality are uppermOSt in
this State now; not political questions.
''The convention was such IL bold
farce that not even the formaity Of
electing delegates to it was thought
necessary in New Castle county. Sec
ret and convenient local political CON.
mittees so-callpd. named the men to sill
as delegates and ratify the resolutions
and determination of AddickS and his
board. II it We're not for the audacity
of the whole proceedings. il would b" tlf
roHriug political farce of the tnit"t
States.
lis it dangerous? Yes. of course i
is, and just because of the audacity ol
the performers and the keen, Shrrwd
persistent and untring WAY in whcl
the political conspiracy is worked ou
along business lines" The Addicks fol
lowers must show results in the acquisi
tion of new followers. and for 'acquir
ing needed voters the old Iindiuni
blocks-of-tcn system would he lauglr,
to scorn by the Union Republican work
ers. They have produced Il condition
in Delaware where If AddickS coui,
drive the Regular Republicans to sup
port his candidates the regulars. iii,
AddicksitpS and the acquired Demo
Gratis would make majority of tn
whole. But the descent. nOn-ntlicc
seeking Republicans, who can't stomacl
the dictntion Of .tddicks and his politici
employees and the practices OF the Uniol
Republican workers. have SO fin. rvinc
cd too much State pride and Sclf-ro
sppct to hc cocrcpd into the support o
thi' uon'iurcS of this pretense Of Il poll
