a settlement Of the difficulties which
have retarded Republican success in
that commonwealth seems fairly in
sight. The Tribune has thought. and
still thinks that the Republican Ma
ticnal Convention chose a hazardous and
mistaken means Of enforcing party har-
mony in Delaware by recognizing at
Philadelphia that faction and that lead
er through whose selfish obduracy the
fruits Of three successive victories had
been recklessly thrown away. In ac-
cepting and endorsing the leadership OF
j. Edward Addicks it was justly feared
that the National Convention lad 81
alienated and affronted genuine Repub-
lican sentiment as to ieopardize the
choice this year of Republican presi-
Dental electors and to render morally
certain the loss Of a Legislature to
which the chance will fall next Winter
OF filling two seats in the Federal
Senate. The unexpected counienance
given Mr.. Addicks at Philadelphia

are satisfied TO have two tickets in the
campaign the Republicans should Ger
tainly be able to survive the result. as
II will forever dispose OF Addicks and
