Vast Maiorisy's Wish

From the Wilmington Sunday Star.
The last week of balloting commences

will come the solution of the problem
of whether the Republican party is to
maintain the administration of affairs
of county and State in the future, or by
failing TO elect. Senators to become 50

party such free sway that it could place
every known obstacle that could he Great
ed by legislation in the way Of the Re
pnblicans III years to come. and make Sc
cure recnlrance of Democratic domina-
tion. This is question coming to every
Republican in Delaware. The vast ma
iority Of the rank ana file prefer the
lection of Addicks and Regular Repub-
lican as Senators, to the creation of va
cancies. Men classed and undisputably
regarded as Regular Republicans, who
would resent the designation of "Ad-

dicks and a Regular Republican in order

what is Delaware Going to DO.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
Next week the Legislature of Delaware
is to adjourn. Unless, therefore, def
mite action is taken mt once concerning
The United States Senatorship question,
the state will be without any representa-
ton whatever after the 4th Of March
in the highest branch Of Congress.
In these last days there is talk Of a
combination between Democrats and So
called Republicans. We use the term
"so-called" because no genuine Republic
ran would enter into any agreement to
elect one Democrat and one Republican,
to the United States Senate when the
State was carried by the Republican
party and the Republican party expects
and demands the election of two Repub-
licais.
There is only one honorable way in
which 10 look at the situation in Della

membership of the Legislature has a
right to be heard, and it is the duty of
the Republican minority to submit to
the wishes Of the majority.

FALSE PROPHETS.

Mr.. Addicks declared this afternoon
he had by no means abandoned hope OF
election to the Senate before the Legis-
lature adjourned. If he failed to do so
he wound continue the fight before the
people of Delaware until he won.-Ihe
(philadelphia) Record.
We quote the above paragraph from
the Washington correspondence OF Inc
Record for the benefit of the Anti-Ad-
dicksites who have been comforting
themselves with the idea that they We're
about to force Mr.. Addicks out of the pol
itics of this State. Evidently they have
not been able to comprehend and appre-
ciate the truly spartan resolution and
courage of their opponent. The Demo-
Gratis have been urging the Regulars
to keep up their factional fight, and en-
couraging them with the prediction that
defeat in the Senatorial election would
end Mr.. Addicks' interest and efforts in
the State politics, and the Regulars
have listened to these false prophets,
continuing IA fight in which their sue
cess can bring only disaster and defeat
to their party. They have fought to de-
feat and dispossess Il leader, yainly I'M
agining that some one of themselves
could succeed him and reap the fruit
Of his skill of organization and leader.
ship. The time for that has gone. 1t is
not Mr.. Addicks now, but the Republi
cans of Delaware, organized as the
Union Republican party whom the Reg
uars" antagonze. 1t is not Mr.. Ad
dicks whom they now try to defeat, bu
the local and the National Republican
parties. 1t is impossible that any one o
the Regular" leaders should succeed tt
the leadership of the Republican party o
Delaware.W think IL moments though
about that will convince any one of it
truth. So the hopes held out by thes
democratic false prophets fade. The de
feat of the Union Republicans mean
Democratic success-the Regulars" can
hot win. Democratic false prophets lur

TIMELY OPINIONS.
What the Best Thinkers Say Of Cur
rent Events,
A Grave Responsibility,

t,rom the Dover State Sentinel.
On the blllotiug for the short term
Senator Yesterday. Mr. Addicks gained
two votes, making Il total of twenty
two votes, or five less than the required
number to elect him to the United States
Senate. 1t will he remembered that Mr.
Addicks started of i'll this Senatorial
contest with sixteen votes, not one Of
which has left him on Il single ballot,
unless by absence: and that besides hold
ing those who first supported him. he
has gained about half Of the original
Regular Republican strength. Thus 1t
will be seen that instead Of Mr.. Addicks
losing ground since the session opened,
he has gained six Of the Regular Repub-
lcan members who until Il fortnight ago,
perSistently opposed him. 1t is to the
credit of those Regular Republican
members that they are now supporting
Mr.. Addicks, and shows that they are
anxious to elect two Republican United
States Senators before the session closes.
The responsibility now rests with the
remaining seven Republicans whether
Delaware shall be represented in the
United States Senate by Republicans or
not, or whether we will be represented
there mt ALL The responsibility is a
grave one. One which affects the in
tercstS Of every citizen Of the State. and
which may tend to wreck the Republican
party Of Delaware and throw us back
again into the hands of dishonest Dem
orracy.

Delaware would be cut off in this matter
unless she sent her Republican Senatorial

come to pass, and the people who oh

for successful application of the prin-

coincident with the enhanced military

MIsREPREsENTIMo THE PREsI-
DENT.


From Democratic sources it is now |
alleged that President Mckinley has an
his preference in the Delaware
case for the election of one Republi-
can and one Democrat to the United
States Senate, and has named Colonel du
Pont and Judge Gray.
1t ought not to be necessary to deny
that. 1t involves too much. Some
time ago it was reported from Washing
ton, in an Anti-Addicksite paper, that
Colonel du Pont had plead long and
earnestly for his, the Presidents, help
in the Senatorial canvass here, and that
the President had refused Colonel du
Pont his aid and decided to keep his
hands off throughout the fight This de-
cision is in keeping with what is general
" known as the Presidents view. The
President is not opposed to the election
of Mr.. Addicks t the Senate. That has
been authoritatively stated over and
over again. What he does want is the
election of two United States Senators
from this State. As Republican he
could want nothing else. As a Republi-
dent does, the. character of the long
fight to make Delaware Republican
State, he could not in any way wish to,
or try to defeat the will of a gallant and
faithful Republican support of himself
| in his two campaigns. 1t was in rally
/ ing to his support after the most out
rageous treatment endured by the right
full delegates from this State at st.
Louis, that Delaware was saved to the
Republican party. The people who were
rejected at st Louis remained faithful
to the Republican party and to its candi-
date and gave Delaware's electoral
vote to Mr.. Mckinley. These are the men
who are supporting Mr.. Addicks for the
Senatorial election. To believe the Dem.
ocratic story, sent out now when the
election of two Republicans to the Senate
is assured, is to accuse the President
Of treason to his party, ingratitude to his
friends, and of a denial of his own
statement of his position.
The story of the Presidents alleged
preference for du Pont and Gray is al
evidence of Democratic desperation-oi
the fear they have of a united Republican
party under the leadership of Mr.. Ad
dicks. The Democrats would inven
and tell any story, would adopt any po
litical trick or method to defeat Mr.
Addicks and the story about the Presi
dent is one of these inventions.

PR 7SERVE THE UNION.

At this period Of Delaware's political
history, there is a peculiar obligation
resting upon the States legislative rep
rcsentation. 1t is expressed tersely in
our caption-preserve the Union.
1t has only been possible since the
defeat of the Democratic party, in No
vember for Delaware to ratify the Con
stitution of the post-rebellion Union.
From 1861 to 1900, politically, and or
ganically, Delaware was out of the
Union. As the result of the war the
constitution of the State had to be
amended All the States except Della
ware ratified the amended constitution
and readjusted their relations to the
Union. Delaware did not ratify these
amendments, and did not readjust her
relations with the Union, as the other
States did, until during the present
session of the legislature. In the mean
time, i'll the stress of wonderful po-
litica fight for the liberation of the
State from Democratic control and put
ting it in harmony with the National
Government, Dclawares representation
iii the Senate was abridged, and the
State dishonored by the sending to the
Senate Il representative of fraud and out.
rage; and it is now threatened with total
destruction by the refusal of faction
Of the Republican delegation to vote for
the majority candidate for United States
Senator.
We suggest that the success of this
factional threat means the virtual with
draw;l of Delaware from the Union
it means the surrender, or at least a
refusal to use, the privileges Of her state
hood Statehood in the Union is deter
mined by representation III the United
States Senate. Senators are State rep
rcScntatives. The Constitution of the
United States provides for Senate COM
posed Of the States representatives, and
provides that this Senate shall be com
posed Of two Senators from each State.
1t follows that a Senate with less than
lNO ENtIldlpIS HUH tiCl Gctdlt is lot tlt
Senate provided for by the National
Constitution. 1t is not obligatory that
all these Senators shall be present, but
it is obligatory, to maintain constitu-
tiunal Senate representing the States,
that I'LL the States have two accredited
members enrolled in that body. 1t fol
tIau tbaf aS SfatabnnI MI tla
Union Of States, is evolved from this
constitutionally provided Senate, that
the State not represented is not a State
of the Union; and the Union of States il
not the Union Of the Constitution, unless
i'll the Statcs are there, in the Senate
represented.
This is Delaware's first opportunity
since her ratification Of the amended Con
stitution Of the United States, to put
herself into the post-rebellion Union OF
States. 10 do that fully, to avail herself
of her full statehood privileges and thu,
be State in all that constitutional tern
implies, and to complete and help il
preserving the Union of States, two Re
publican United States Senators mus
be elected and sent to Washington.
The question then is, will the Republi
can majority in the State legislator
agree to perfect Delaware's statehood
and to make and preserve a perfec
Union Of States as the constitution pre-
scrbcs? The test of true Republican
ism is its devotion to the Union Q
States and its amended constitution.
