PARTY wREcKeR's REWARD

So far as Addicls IS concerned. the
Dover Index is correct in its conclusion
that the Republicans Of Delaware are
in this fight to a finish. Compromise
with such man Is utterly out Of the
question. II he ever was a Republican
which is extremely doubtful he put
himself without che pale OF the party
when he gave James H. Wolcott srr
$500 to be used to defeat Harry A.
Richardson, the Republican candidatel
for governor. and to elect Robert J.
Reynolds, the Democratic candidate.
He supplemented that by deadlocklng
the Legislature in 1895 with four men
whom he insugated not only to stand
out and prevent the election of a Re-
publican United States senator but tol
enter into a written compact with Act
ing-Governor William r. Watson on
the last day Of the session if he would
resume his senatorial functions and
vote with the Democrats TO prevent an
election which had been made possible
by the eleventh hour repentance Of
After the adjournment of the Legisla-
ture when the Republicans carried the
contest to Washington. this same man
Addicks set up a lobby down there and
assisted the Democrats 10 defeat the
Republican contestant for a seat i'm the
United States Senate. But for that as
sistance rendered the Democats by Ad-
dicks, the Republican contestant would
have been seated and Senator Kenney
would not now be occupying an honor
ed place which ne so little deserves.
Still unsatisfed with his work against
the Republican party he made it possi-
BILE for the Democrats to carry the state
in 1896, and in 1899. in the face Of as
surances that a United States senator
would be elected. he once more dead
locked the Legislature and prevented
the election Of a United States senator
to succeed Mr.. Gray. In that same yeal
he conceived and executed the scheme
Of putting ticket in the field here IL
Wilmington and defeated the Republi
can city ticket, giving the Democrats
practically every onice elective and ap
pointive at a time when their defea
was assured.
For such man to ask the people o
this state to recognize him as a Repuh
lican. and TO demand Of the Republican
party that it accept him as its leader
the height Of impudence. Yes, the re
publicans of the state are after him an
will not give mp the fight until the
have forced him TO acknowledge his do
feat by retiring from the field. Del'
ware Republicans have other reward
than United States senatorships +
party wreckers and Democratic hell

rgrlk OPPORTUNITY

We would remind the Milford Chron-
icle that Robert G. Houston, editor Of
the Sussex Republican, is chairman Of
the Republican County Committee Of
Sussex county lie IS an intelligent
steadfast exponent of Republlcanism.
who has suffered more abuse from Ad-
dicksites and done as much to block
their nefarious schemes as any man in
Sussex county. They cannot buy him;
they cannot frighten him and they can
not win him by nattery. He is the
head and front Of a political organiza-
tion that will have nothing to do with
Addicks and Addlcksism. More than
once the gasman has felt the power of
that constituency and this year he will
feel it again unless he has the grace to
retire from the field for United States
senator.
Mr. Houston is right I'm his declara-
tion that the responsibility for the de-
feat of Republican nominees has been
shifted from the Republicans to the
Addicksites. The Republicans will
hold their state convention two days
prior to the state convention of the Ad-
dicksites They VIII nominate a state
ticket composed of men whose Repub-
licanism and past party service are be-
yond all dispute. Then they will say
to the Addicksite leaders:
You say you are Republicans. Here
is a Republican ticket which can defeat
the Democrats. Show your Republican
ism by voting it, or acknowledge that
you are not Republicans by defeating
it,"
The opportunity will be theirs to use
or abuse as they see ht The Republi-
cans serve no ulumatum. They merely
perform their duty as becomes Republi-
cans. and leave the Addicksite leaders
to assist i'm electng the Republican
ticket If they will do It.; or to bear the
odium of the defeat if they insist upon
putting a third ticket in the field.
IL is a trying situation In which the
Addlcks leaders find themselves we
admit, but 1t affords them every opportu-
nifty to make good certain promises and
pretensions made before the Republi-
can National Committee and the
Committee on Credentials of the Ma
tional Convention.
