CLARK's ENTRIES THOUGHT TO BE VOID.

There was considerable speculation yesterday as
to whether the entries of :he torses belonging to
the late William II. Clark would be void or not
II. q. Crickmore, the veteran racing expert was
seen and said:
All of the Clark entries are void. Mr. Clark had
entered rather extensively, and he was heavily en-
gagged in most of the big stakes. His entries ran
from three to ten in most of the rich stakes II Is
exactly the same as the case OF Flying Fox when
the Duke of Westminster died in England. The
urban Brooklyn Handicap and Metropolitan Handi-
cap have already closed. In case the horses are
disposed of. they could be entered In any OF the

ing contestants, Dupont and Addicks.
Rumor is seldom if ever, trust
worthy, and in this case 1t is impossible
to accept It's delivefances as worthy Of
belief Colonel DUPONT is a man of the
greatest public spirit and OF unques-
toned and unquestionable personal in
tegrity. lie has proved his patriotism
as a soldier and his loyalty to political
principles as a citizen. He has never
been a practical politician in the sense
of being a political tradesman or traf-
flicker for office. He has had and up
held high political ideals, and even his
partisan opponents in all the heat Of
their angry contention have been un-
able to bring a single railing accusa-
ton against him personally or pOliti-
cally That such q man could be in
duced to enter into any such filthy
bargain as rumOr reports with Mr..
| Addicks, IN order to secure a seat in
the United States Senate. for himself,
is not only improbable, but impossi-
Bile.
For nearly a decade the people of
Delaware have refused to have Mr.
Addicks represent or misrepresent
them in the Federal Senate. They have
again and again defeated his efforts to
attain to that high Office, for the dis
lcharge of the duties of which they have
! believed him TO be untitled. Mr.. Ad-
dicks is a practical politician. whose
political methods and acts have failed
to command the approval of his fellow
! citizens. He represents political poll.

On the other side Colonel DuPon
represents all that is best and most de
lsirable or essential in public life He Is
In both theoretical and practical poll
tics the very opposite of Mr.. Addicks
/ II is consequently incredible that hl
could be tempted to stand upon thu
} same platform with Mr. Addicks, as hl
could do so only by sacrificing thosl
admirable political principles which hl
has always resolutely maintained. Hi
high character, his enviable reputation
his abilities and attainments wOul'
make him n wholly competent legisla
tor. The great Office of senator Of th
II United States would suffer no loss o

sible for any citizen Of Delaware T.
confer dignity upon that position Col
onol Dupont would do It,
But what dignity would Mr.. Addick
confer upon it? What single know

and Dupont are in respect to the offic
of senator as wide apart as the poles
and upon no grounds of public polio
f could they be possibly brought TO
gether as senatorial colleagues Colone
DUPONT knows that 1t is better to
right than to be a senator, and he sim
5 ilarly knows that he could not con

HoARlS VIEWS REPnnlAIEn.

Massachusetts, Republicans have re-
pudiated the anti-expansion policy of
Senator Hoar, and the blow must be
felt keenly by the aged statesman who
has been such a political power in that
state. BY reclamation the State Con-
yention adopted a platform declaring
that both the interest and the duty of
the nation required the retention OF
the islands which came under the gov
ernments dominion by the Treaty OF
Paris.
Thus Senator Hoar discovers that in
his big fight against expansion he has
been running counter to the sentiment
of the people who elected him, and who
sent him to Washington to represent
them. There are other statesmen,
Democrats as we'll as Republicans, who
viii learn, after it is too late, that the
sentiment OF the nation ardently sup
ports President McKinleys colonial
policy.
