Republican votes are scattered between
Colonel Henry A. DUPONT, William S.
Hilles, Anthony Higgins, Levi c. Bird
and Benjamin Nields. Seven OF the
Regular Republicans have put forth
the cdict that they will, under no cir
cumstances, vote for Addicks. II they
adhere 10 this determination, Addicks'
election can never be accomplished. ex-
cept through the treachery Of Demo-
Gratis, which is, we believe, beyond the
range of a probability The Democrats
of Delaware have had enough of Adj
dicks and his venal methods, and they
cannot lend their aid towards placing
him in the highest legislative body of
this nation.
It has been intimated that AddiclSs
and his followers would consent to an
agreement, by which he and Demo-
crat could be elected to the Senate
the Democrats to vote for Addicks in
exchange for the votes of the Union
Republicans for Kenney. Such a bar
gain would be a lasting disgrace to the
State Of Delaware. Better a thousand
times that there should be no election
than that Addicks should be chosen.
It would be far better We're the Demo-
Gratis to combine with the Regular Re
publicans and elect two honest and ca
pable Republicans to the Senate, than
that Add.cks should be elevated by the
assistance Of Democrats.
If Addicks is defeated for senator
this time he is defeated forever. This
is a point that Democratic members OF
the Legislature should not lose sight
Of.

AddickB in his indecent attack
upon the Harlan and Hollingsworth
Company, makes the declaration that
The men who are employed in the
large plant Of that company are his
friends. We doubt IT, No working
man can be the friend Of a political
demagogue and adventuror who makes
such an assault upon the good name
and credit Of the biggest industrial
concern in our State and which pays
out TO workingmen more than mil
lion dollars IN wages alone every year
to say nothing OF other expenditure
made in our community II any Of the
gorkingmm alluded to by Addicks
ever felt friendly to him, this attempt
Of his to d.scredit and break down
the concern which gives them en-
ployment and 10 smear the slime Of
Addicksism On their bread and butter
is enough to turn them against him.

REVENUE BlLus sEI.BAcK

Representative Baynard turned his
back fairly and squarely upon his con-
siituents yesterday, and practically
killed the bin giving 20 the city Of VIII
mingtonand toother incorporated cities
and towns two-thirds Of the revenue
derived by the State from liquor
license fees within their several COR
porate limits
The bill was sent to Dover by City
Council and bore the approval OF
every member Of that body. Republ-
cans as well as Democrats. It's pas
sage would have meant revenue
amounting to about $4,000 to the city
)f Wilmington to relieve the financial
needs OF the city and to lessen the
laxes on all real estate. or at least. TO
have obvated the necessity for any
Increase of the rate as Ii exists to-day.

people of Wilmington, who would
have been but tco glad to have such
relief when real estate is taxed to IT'S

by reason Of Councils failure to raise
the tax rate last year

Their surprise and Indignation ma,

against the bill. He thought WI

opinion one-htird of the liquor license
revenue should go to the state, one

the city. He appealed to "his friend

ApplcKs EXTENDS HIS LACK

The Morse COMPANY at Camden, n.
j., is reported to have several million
d-lars' worth of work under contract.
While Wilmington yards are empty-or
comparatively so.-AddiclSs organ
Once more Addicks returns to his
attack upon the big industrial estab-
ishments OF Wilmington, and renews
his strike at tho bread and butter CT
thousands Of workiugmen and their
wives and children Never has there
been such a cowardly, contemplate
and untruthful assault made by any
man at both capital ard labor.
AS evidence Of the falsity Of the Adj
dicks statement quoted above. we will
state that the yards OF
the Harlan and Hollings-
worth Company are full Of work.
Among the boats in course of con-
struction are. Two torpedo boats, the
Hopkins and the Hull; the Fletcher
yacht Alvina, by all odds the hand
soonest piece of marine architecture
ever built fer launching in local
waters; a big steamship for the NAL
lory line, one of the largest vessels
ever built here; steamship for the
Knowltcn Steamship Company and
two big ferry boats for the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company.
The Pusey and jones Company's
yard is full OF work, and many barges
are being built by the Jackson and
Sharp Company, which makes a spe-
cialty of such work.
The other departments in these big
establishments also are busy.
Therefore, it will be seen that Ad-
dicks does not mend matters. but only
makes them worse by his labored ex-
cuses to the worklngmen for his as
saults upon the credit and standing
.of the places which afford them en-
.ploymcnt The workingman is as
much interested in contracts as his
employer, and neither Addicks nor any
other person can strike at the crcda.

Hollingsworth Company and the hum
dreds of men in its employ, and now
extended to the Pusey and Jones Com

pany and the hundreds OF men who
find employment there. is in keeping
with the strike he and Senator Alice
contemplated at the hundreds Of in
sane patients in the asylum at Farm.
hurst 1t is a dastardly and contempt-
ible piece Of work, and we are conf
dent that the workingmen in those
three establishments will not let it &c
