| The true definition Of Anti Addicks
ism seems to be venOm-a pOisonou
virus fatal to truth. Anti Addicks news
papers spread this virus over every
thing they may have to say about tn,
Delaware Senatorial situation.
The news Of the situation at Dover
yesterday, was the open proffer Of REG
ular" votes for the election Of Demo
cratic United States Senator. The
Morning News, with its special cores
pendent at the capitol, did not get re.
port of that proffer; at least did not tell
the story in its issue Of yesterday. Why
Did it want to hide, or was it ashamed
of the treachcry of the Regular propo-
sition?
Another Anti-Adlicksite paper, the
Public Ledger, attempts to queer its
own stories about the Delaware situa-
ton by misleading head lines. In its
Washington dispatches of Wednesday
was the following:
Mr.. Addicks has been here for few
days in attendance upon the Inaugural
ton ceremonies, and incidentally to pro-
mote his campaign. There has been a
great deal of talk and speculation as TO
the wishes of the President and Senator
Hanna in this matter, and statements
have been published that they have urged
the choice of Addicks in preference to
other candidates, revealed or undevel-
opcd. Without pretending to speak
either for the President or Mr.. Hanna,
it may be confidently stated that neither
is in any sense a partisan If Addicks.
What they desire is, and this desire is
shared by all Republican leaders in and
out of Congress, that Delaware shall
elect two Republican Senators.
If that cannot be accomplished without
taking Mr.. Addicks, then they recon-
mend the election of that gentleman.
But if any other Republican can secure
the party vote and unite it SO that an
other Republican can be also chosen. no
complaint would be heard from any of
the party leaders here.
This was printed under glaring head i
line which said: 'The President and
Hanna not for Addicks."
The object of this headline was to
convey to the readers first, and foremost,
the idea that the President and Mr.,
Hanna are opposed to the election of Mr..
Addicks to the United States Senate. !
The article published under this mislead-
ing sub-head denies what the head was
to imply. 1t says clearly what
the President and Mr.. Hanna, and all
he Republican leaders in and out of Con-
gress want, in these words:
"WIlAT THEY DESIRE Is
THAT DELAWARE SHALL ELECT
rWO REPUBLICAN SENATOR'S.
If THAT CANNOT BE ACCOM- |,
PLlSIIED WITHOUT TAKING MIR.
THEN THEY RECON-
MEND THE ELECTION or THAT
GENTLEMAN" L
So it appears that despite the head
inc deception, that the President and
'lr. Hanna both recommend the clcc-
ion Of Mr.. Addicks. There has been
10 time during the present session of
he legislature. and there is not likely tC
'e any now, when two Republican Sen
TORS of whom Mr. Addirks was not one
ould be elected There has been no day
lurlns the session in which two Rcpubli-
an Senators could not have been elected,
'lr. AddfckS being one of the Senators.
10 it seems that there has been no
lmc during the session in which the
resident and Mr. Hanna were Iot re-
the election Of Mr.. Ad-
icks. Their position is just the Union
republican position the election of two
republican Senators, Mr.. Addicl:s one
f the Senators.
With the knowledge of the situation
'hich the nti-.Addicksitcs OF the Gen v
raj Assembly have, what is here said q
bout the President and Mr.. Hanna has n
cen continuous recommendation Of
IT.. Addcks. What the Lcdgcl's mead
mes attempt is a contemplate bit of y
