READ BETWEEN THE LINES

In story which emanated from the
local Addicks press bureau the VIII
mington Democrat prints this para
graph:
The news from Philadelphia was ol
such an encouraging nature to the
Union Republicans that more than 60C
members provided themselves with
tickets in order that they might be en-
abled to participate in the monster Re
publican Convention parade In Phila-
delphia tomorrow night.
II an Evening Journal reader, whose
eyeslght and reasoning powers are
acute, will hold that paragraph up to
the light and read between the lines, he
will behold the following:
The news from Philadelphia was OF
such a discouraging nature 10 the
Union Republicans that the Addicks
leaders. feeling that the exigencies
OF the occasion necessitated some step
out Of the ordinary. provided more
than GOO men with tickets, badges and
canes, in order that they might be sent
to Philadelphia TO participate in the
parade on Monday night and endeavor
to make an impression on the national
delegates in Addicks behalf, to coun-
teract the negative action OF the Ma
tional Committee.

AnnOYingIY Peaceful Traditions

From Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
II happens frequently that members
OF the rival factions pass each other in
that lobby, where everything happens.
Il may be Hawley, Of Texas, who
thinks Hetty Green's son, of Texas, is
a born idiot, while Hetty Green's son
knows Hawley Is a raving lunatic four
times day and six times Sunday. Or
1t may be Addicks, OF Delaware, who
could make a jubilant lunch on the
dead body OF Byrne, the United States
attorney, while Byrne knows Addicks
for a party wrecker, a bunco-steerer,
and land pirate. At the recognizing
glance, their backbcnes stiffen, and
they become stone blind. so far as the
hated rival is concerned. A touch OF
sorrow may be noticed on their coun-
tenances.
Not that they regret the loss Of the
spirit OF Christian amity which should
prevail throughout the worlds affairs
Oh, mol They are merely lamentine
the annoyingly peaceful traditions OF
the Convention City, which make II
improper for them TO pull guns and
settle IL without all the confounded
nonsense OF argument before the com
mittee.

nifty to accord to the Republicans OF
Delaware the justice which has been
denied them by the National Commit
tee.
AS the matter now stands, Addicks
and his band Of political brigands have
been placed on an equality with the
true and genuine Republicans Of Del
aware, and a premium has been placed
on the obnoxious methods by which the
gasman has been enabled for years to
hold up the Republican organization of
the state, and deprive it of the repre-
sentation in the city, state and ma
tional governments to which it is en-
titled. Four years ago, the gasman
secured the same advantage at the
start, but he was unceremoniously
thrown out of the convention by the
Committee on Credentials, and there is
a reasonable hope that he may en-
counter the same fate this week. II
such should not be the case, the vote
Of Delaware may safely be counted for
Bryan in advance Of the election.

No Union With Addicks
I'M the MlddletoWn Transcrint

From the Middletown Transcript.
Never has the editor of The Trans
cript so much regretted his inability to
write OF current events because OF ply
steal disability as to-day A few lines
must suffice.
The Delaware Republicans have
taken the correct and only honorable
attitude before the National Commit
tee. There can be no union with Ad-
dicks; the evil in his heart is as rank
to-day as when he telegraphed that he
would be senator or sink Delaware
Republicanism ten thousand fathoms
deep" To win, Addicks and his crowd
are promising everything before the
National Committee, "any compromise
will be acceptable" to them. They are
false. They promise that they NAV
win-losing they would come home to
stab and betray. Dr. Layton but a few
months ago was loudly proclaiming his
desire ITO be a presidential elector TO
vote against McKinley'-let not the
purpose serve him. There are honest
Union Republicans but Addicks and his
henchmen will go to all lengths to win.
Any promise can be broken.
Because of the prospect for two
United States senator's, representative
in Congress, governor, etc, the Ma
uonal Committee is striving to make
compromise-to divide the vote in
convention, to divide the ticket. They
do not know Addicks or his paid allies.
They may mistakingly bury Delaware
Republicanism by substituting Ad-
dicksism. God forbid

The Delaware Outrage

From Philadelphia Daily Telegraph.
Senator Hanna is reported to have
declared to the Republican National
Committee on Saturday night that the
Regular Republican organization of
Delaware could not expect to get every
thing. On the strength OF that die
tim, apparently. the committee declined
to take any action on the Delaware
contest, ordered both delegations TO be
excluded from the temporary roll of
the convention, and relegated the
whole dispute to the Committee on Gre
dentials for settlement The sub-cOm-
mittee having the matter in charge
made a determined effort to effect a
compromise, by which all the claim
ants TO seats would be admitted u
the convention, with the voting power
OF the state divided between them. The
gasman and his followers were quite
willing to accept this disposition Of
the case. but the representatives OF the
truo Republican organization very
properly refused TO submit to any sucl
partial Acknowledgement and the con.
vention itself, through its Committe,
on Credentials, will have an opportu

PROCESS OF ELIMINATION

From a man who has been prominent
in politics in Kent county, and for the
last four years allied with Addlcks. the
Evening Journal has received the fol-
lowing:
Il see that the Evening Journal
voices the demand Of the Regular Re
publlcans that Addicl1s be eliminated.
Now. what l want to know is, how is
that elimination to be accomplished?
There are many OF us here in Kent
county who would be glad to get rid Of
him, for we want TO see the Republican
party win this Fall, but we don't know
just how to proceed"
For the benefit OF this inquirer the
Evening Journal win say that there are
three elements Of strength possessed by
Addicks. They are, his money, his lieu
tenants and his voters. without his
voters. his money and his lieutenants
are powerless. The way to eliminate
Addicks is for every man who formerly
was q Republican, but who now is an
Addicksite, to repudiate Addicks and
his organization, openly and without
fear. and ally himself with the Republi-
cans for the redemption OF the state
Both Addicks and his lieutenants are
at the mercy Of the Union Republican
voters. Hundreds Of those voters al
ready have repudiated them. and re-
turned to the true Republican organi-
zation.
These are the demands OF the Repub-
lican party OF Delaware:
Frst-That Addicks retire from poll
ties.
second-That those Addicks voters
who formerly we're Republicans, return
10 their legitimate political affiliation.
In this manner we shall have har-
mony and victory in Delaware.
with the future OF Mr.. Addicks under
such conditions the Republicans OF Del
aware have nothing to do. He is not a
Republican, but a man who has wrecked
the Republican party AS such he
must be held and treated at all times.
No Republican owes him favor or ad-
herence. He Is a political outcast. II
the Democrats want him they are well
come to him. He has served their pur-
poses well for ten OF twelve years, and
they certainly owe him haven OF re-
fuge as reward for all that he has
done for them. We hope, II they do
take him in, that he will become as
great a thorn in the side OF Demo
eracy as he has been in the side OF Re
publicanism.

DELAWAREANS
WE'RE CHRHRHD
Made a Fine Showing in the
Parade Last Night
II Required Nearly -Four Hours for
the Procession to Pass a
Given Point
speeIal 70 the EvenIng journal.

Philadelphia, June 19.-The Republi-
can parade last night was a great sue
cess, and thee lubs from Delaware con-
trfbuted immensely to the fine appear
ance of the thousands in line The
Young Mems Republican Club of Will
mington, four hundred strong,
received hearty ovation all
along the route, and made an impOs-
ing picture with their bronze caps and
capes. The Regular Republicans may
well feel proud of the fine showing
made by their representatives in the
tremendous gathering Of Republican
ism.
AS the Delaware clubs swung into
Broad street they were given an Ova-
ton that is seldom equalled. They
marched with the regularity Of vet
Grams.
1t was the generally expressed opin-
ion that as a campaign marching club
the hOnors were equally divided be-
tween the Young Mems Republican
Club and the Pioneer, of West Ches-
ter, one of the oldest marching clubs
in Pennsylvania.
The Blaine Club. OF Cincinnsti, and
the Pioneer Club, Of West Chester, Pa,
received tumultuous applause They
wore snowy uniforms and carried axes.
On Broad street they gave an exhibit
tion Of drilling that evoked great ap-
plause.
The Young Mems Republican Club and
the cOlored Republican clubs were the
only organizations in the procession
carrying torches. The Newport Color
ed Republican Club also made a fine
appearance. Another colored Organiza-
tion which looked well and received the
plaudits of the people was the Afro
American League. They wore white
hats and carried canes.
There were more than thirty thou
sand men in line, and many hundreds
Of residents OF Delaware thr0nged the
route Of the parade. It required sew
eral special trains at midnight to trans
port them back to Wilmington.
The police arrangements were excel
lent, and an unobstructed passage wa'
maintained for the paraders Genera
Louis Wagner was chief marshal, ant
he had large force of aides, who man
aged the throngs IN an able manner
and without a hitch.
There were eight divisions in thi

The Delaware Republicans
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The case Of the contesting delega-
tions from Delaware was not settled by
the efforts of the National Committee.
1t goes to the convention itself for a
decision; and this is due to the cir
cumstance that the representatives of
honest Delaware Republicanism refuse
absolutely to compromise with the rep
resentatives of Addicks.
They are right. The principles
which determine their attitude at this
time rise far above any considerations
OF momentary political expediency or
Of superficial harmony. The Regular
Republican organization in Delaware Is
fighting not only for its very existence.
but also for the honor of the party
everywhere when it demands that
choice shall be made squarely between
It and the faction which Addicks for
his own selfish purposes controls.
There ought to be no doubt about the
recommendation OF the Committee on
Credentials, or the action Of the con-
vention on the Delaware contest. The
precedent Of four years ago should be
followed unhesitatingly. The Regular
Republicans now claiming admission
from Delaware should be recognized
and admitted at Philadelphia as they
were at st. Louis.
The representatives OF the Addicks
faction, with its years-long record of
yenality, impudence and treachery.
should be excluded, il that is necessary
in order to repudiate the political ad-
venturer and wrecker who has created
that faction.
This is plain duty for the convention.
II is likewise good political judgment.
II damage must inevitably result to the
party's vote in the state, it is a thou
sand times better that the price be paid
for right and honor rather than for
wrong and dishonor.

The Delaware Controversy
From the Record.

From the Record.
There will be no little curiosity
throughout the country as to the de-
termination the Republican National
Convention will make OF the Delaware
controversy.
Shorn OF all side issues the matter
OF quarrel is whether or not IL be an
allowable transaction for a millionaire
to buy the political control OF a state.
The Republican National Convention
do not seem to have been able 10
agree among themselves on this propo-
sition. No wonder. II goes to the
root OF things. The use OF money In
politics has become alarmingly com
mon. To fling the Addicks delegates
out OF the convention would be in the
nature OF an imputation upon the
method of a hundred or so millionair,
statesmen who give gliding anC
guaranty 10 the party which they
honor with their support and maintain
by their subscriptions

The Young Mems Republican Club

headquarters, at 1l.20 o'clock, and were
greeted with wild cheers and the club
yell by the big delegation Of Delawar-
cans who had gathered there.

their presence known soon after mid

people have no hope OF doing anything

know full well that Bryan's nominal

work is aimed at political conditions
