SAYS ADDICKN n
UNFIT FOR OFFICE
Clement B. Smyth DenOunCeS
The Methods Of the
GaSnlal

Clement b. Smyth. who has for many
years been identified with the great
iron industries Of Wilmington and the
improvement Of the Christiana river,
writes the following:
Wilmington, Jan. %, 1901.
To the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
Dear Sir: Can it be possible that the
reports which come to me so frequently
are true, as to the order given by j.
Edward Addicks to his following at
Dover to prevent any legislation, such
as is required to enable our many in
stitutions to borrow such amount as
they need until, forsooth, he (Mr Ad-
dicks) is made senator?
In my judgment, this act alone should
preventany citizen OfDelawarefrOmy yot-
ing to make Mr.. Addicks senator. the
highest office in the gift Of the people,
being. in my opinion, so utterly unfit
for that or any other office.
And It is further stated that he has
arranged matters in Washington 80
that our city and State will get no
help from the government until the
senatOrship is settled in his favor, thus
blocking the way altogether
l. for one, do not believe any such
trash.
do not, for instance, believe for a
moment that the River and Harbor
Committee. of eiher Senate or House OF
Representatives at Washington, would
let a matter of this kind influence them
in helping us as a government should,
and ! hope to live long enough to
have Mr.. Addlcks find out that he can
not work out his selfish ends in this
way.
1t does me good to know and feel
sure that there are some staunch men
In Dover who will stand for the right
irrespective Of results.
| am glad to subscribe myself one
of the 313 men who aided in the for
nation of the Republican party in this
State, in 1S55-1S56.

Country is Rejoicing
Boston Herald.

From the Boston heIdiu
There is somdthing amusing in the
way the Addicks men in the State OF
Delaware propose to arrange the sena-
tOrial elections in that State. They
want Washington TO interfere TO elect
Addicks, and by Washington we are
ncl.ned to believe they mean both the
president and his Cabinet, and the SEN
ate and the House. Mckinley is TO
speak fer one department OF the gov
srnment and Hanna is to arrange for
the other The solution of the diff
Guilty in Delaware is very simple II
always oomprehends the election Of Ad-
ticks to the Senate. That is all the
Addicks men want-all. indeed, that
hey are in politics TO bring about Give
them Addicks, and they don't care Z
Dicayune who gees to the Senate witt
aim. The anti-Addicks Republican,
may have the other man fully TO theil
mind The Addicks people are ever
/ threatening now that II the other fac
ton OF their party does not agree q
| this arrangement they will go in an
make a trade with the Democrats, un
Ter which they will swap the other sea
ator 10 that party for Democrat
votes for Addicks. This alone shoul
hrcw abundant light on the kind {
I Republicans they are.
