BLOCK TO SUCCESS

'Mr Addicks was not responsible for
the action Of Handy. Ball, Moore and
Robbins in maintaining the legislative
deadlock. and forcing a vacancy in the
United States Senate in 1895. In fact, he
protested against their action, and he
and Moore had falling out about it,"
This declaration was made by one
Of the close personal and political
friends of the gasman within the past
week. 1t is in keeping with many other
statements made since the Philadelphia
Convention.
We assert that the statement is a
falsehood from beginning to end. It
was Addicks, and nobody but Addicks.
who created that deadlock and main
tained it, and who prevented the re-
election Of Anthony Higgins to the
United States Senate. and also the cleo
tion Of any man to succeed him. From
the beginning of the legislative session
TO its close he declared most emphatic
ally that 1t must be Addicks or no
body. lie housed his men. braced them
up when they showed signs of weak

session, when appealed to to release
them from their pledges and permit
them to assist in electing a senator, he
absolutely refused to do so, and they
continued to the bitter end the nefari-
GUS work which he had instigated
To-day Alice, Layton, Marshall.
Hayes and the others who are asso-
ciated with this man in politics prate
glibly about the political beauty Of ma
jority rule and the majesty Of King
Caucus at the same time giving their
adherence to one who has outraged
both with brazen impunity. It will not
do. The people have memories which
go back behind the time Of Addicks
and who are fully conversant with the
freebooter tactics he has employed
against the Republican party when
ever it has suited his purposes to do
so.

TUNNELpS CANDIDACY

Governor Tunnel wants second
term. He is not doing much talking
on his own account, but his friends
and favorites are doing it for him.
They hope that the rivalry for the
honor existing between Peter J. Ford
and j. wilkins Cooch will result in a
situation in the New Castle county
caucus that will justify Kent and Sus-
sex counties in intervening in Cover
nor Tunnell's behalf. Some of them
express confidence that if the fight be-
tween the two New Castle county men
should be carried to the floor of the
state convention, majority of the
delegates would be prone to seize the
opportunity to bowl out both men and
make Governor Tunnel the party
nominee.
We do not believe that such a plan
will carry. IL is New Castle county's
turn to name the Democratic candi-
date for governor Both Mr.. Ford and
Mr.. Cooch are in the contest in an
earnest effort to win the honor and not
for the sake of an eleventh-hour vic
tory for Governor Tunnel. Certainly
their friends never will consent to
Kent and Sussex counties interfering
with or attempting to override the
New Castle county caucus. The knife
would be out of the sheath in an in
stant, and it's effect would be fatal to
Governor Tunnell or any other Kent on
Sussex county man who obtained the
nomination by any such means.

who are registered on one of the three
days mentioned above will be qualified
to participate in the party primaries
that will follow. Meanwhile the Ad-
dicks leaders are not idle They are
preparing to register as many of their
men as possible. There are two rea-
sons for this They want to make a
good showing at the primaries, whether
they be common or separate, and, If
they should be common, by making a
full registration they hope to nomi-
nate for county Office many Of their
candidates who are now In the field.
But they are counting on a condition
that will not exist Republicans viii
register in all places to the end that
they may not be debarred from per
forming their first duty as party men
that OF nominating good, clean, re-
spectacle men for the several offices

at the general election, they will OBJ
tain the greatest possible benefit from

THEIR SILLY PRATTLE

There is no valid reason why Mary
land should go Democratic this year
any more than there is that Delaware
should do so. There, as here, the
Democracy is divided on the questions
OF currency and Imperialism and also
in regard to party leadership. In the
Republican party the only trouble is
the ruinous ambition Of one or two
men who desire to dominate the party
and make It subservient TO their per-
sonal purposes. Such gross misuse of
the party's powers has given rise to
trouble in many parts of Maryland.
Here in Delaware there Is no division
of sentiment among Republicans on ma
tional OF state issues. The sole troubl,
is that ]. Edward Addicks has becom,
imbued with the idea that the Republi
can party of the state exists for the soil
purpose Of electing him Unite,
States senator and that he can disrup
and wreck it and threaten its very ex
dstence in his efforts to coerce It int
an acceptance of his leadership.
Republicans Of Delaware have
higher conception Of the duties Of thel
political organization, and even th
bare suggestion that the party be mad
the plaything Of a man who is eaten u
by a senseless ambition is an insult
their intelligence. Addicks stands b.
tween Republication and success
Nothing else intervenes. We. can vi
derstand Why he should do it, for he
