Misrepresentation by an Addicks Organ.
In no effort to discredit the action Of
the seven Republican members of tho
Delaware Legislature who would not
vote for Addicks for United States
Senator that insistent organ of Quay
ism and Addioksism, the Philadelphia
Inquirer, says:
The du Pont Republicans claim to be
the Regulars, but they are not They
were thrown out of the Republican
National Convention, were refused
recognition by the National COMMITTEES.
and were thrashed out of thoir boots at
the polls. The ao.oalled Union Repub-
lioans are the genuine Regulars OF Della
ware. not only because they have the
national party recognition, but because
they proved on election day that they
were in large majority.
II is true that the Regular faction of
the Republican party OF Delaware was
refused recognition by the Republican
National Conpention--an act which
Mark Hanna now bitterly repents hut
it is the regular organization Of the
party, none the less. 1t Is made 80 by
the laws of Delaware, under the pro-
visions Of which the clerks of the peace
decided that its ticket was entitled to a
place on the official ballot as the ticket
of THE Republican Party" Tho Ad-
dicks Republicans then adopted the
name Of Union Republican Party. :"
So much. for the regularity of the Re-
publican party Of Delaware, which. the
Inquirer attempts TO discredit.
Two other statements 10 the above
extract are also false. mendaciously SO.
They are that the Regulars were
"thrashed out of their boots at the
polls" by the Addicks Republicans,
and that the latter proved on election
day that they were in a large majority. I"
In 1896, when the two factions we're
divided to the extent of having two
complete tickets 10 the field, tbs Union
Republicans polled 81 per cent OF the
total Republican vote in the State, and
more than so per cent Of the total
Republican vote 10 the city Of
| Wilmington. The next test was
in 1889, when the Addioks Republi.
cans put a separate ticket in the
field at the Wilmington municipal cleo
tion, for the sole purpose of preventing
a Republican victory. At that election
the Onion Republican vote fell from
over so per cent to only 30 per cent OF
the total Republican vote. And at the
common primaries of the two factions
In New Castle county, last fall, the
Regulars outvoted the Unions about
two to one,
These three instances constitute the
only tests OF the strength Of the two
Republican factions in Delaware, ex.
cept the faotional fights in Kent and
Sussex, where the Union Republicans
largely outnumber the Regulars. But
in the State at large the Unions are
clearly in the minority.
The Philadelphia Quay and Addicls
organ cannot advance the cause of AID,
dicksism in Delaware by suoh rank
falsehoods,

Chicago, ILL.,, March 20.-Judge
Jesse Ho!dom, In decision rendered
In labor union assault case growing
out of strike, upheld in forcible
language the right of any man to work
at any labor with which no is satisfied.
The oase was that of Albert Hin of
the Lathers Union, who was charged
with assaultinR james Kelly, another
member OF the union. because Of
kelly's refusal to stop work on a
building where a sti ike was in progress.
The defendants attorney pleaded with
tho court that inasmuoh as his client
already had served some time In Jail,
and had suffered as much as Kelly
from the fight, he should not be
punished any more.
No; the matter is more serious
than you think" returned Judge
Holdom. "The assault and battery is
not so serious 10 itself, but there 10 a
great principle ut stake-the principle
OF the personal liberty guaranteed us
by the Constitution. When Kelly was
at work on contract with which he
was satisfied, the president OF the
United States nor any individual had
O right to interfere with him. True,
Kelly was memher of the union. as
was Hill. He had right to be, and
it was his duty to obey the rules of the
union. When he refused, however, the
union had its redress in diHciplining
him and expelling him. 1t had no
right to send committee to interfere
with him and assault him.
The court then sentenced Hill to five
days 10 the county jail, in addition to
the time already spent there.

deeply interested in the action of the
United States in sending the armored

He Is today the most interesting aud,

made about his interference in the
Delaware Senatorial contests, and he
announoes TINT when Reput licap Eapers

back.
Referring to the Delaware contests,
in The COURSE Of an interview in the
Washington Post, Hanna disolaims any
PERSONAL interest in the matter. but
only desire to secure the election of
two Republican Unitsd States Senators
from this State. ''It Is very unfol tun-
ate," he concluded, THAT personal
interests should be allowed to stand in
the way OF party success and tho inter,
est of the nation at arge.n This may
be true. But whose personal interests
stood In the way OF the election of two
Republican Senators by the Delaware
Legislature at its last session? Why,
thoss of j. Edward AddickH only, and
he was supported in his selfish course
by President Mckinley and Mark
Hanna, who used every possible effort
10 secure his election.
Senator Hanna also expressed the
opinion that the selfishness Of Col.
Henry A. du Point WAS responsible for
the failure to elect. If he wants to
make false statements, it would be
well for him to refresh his memory, so
that his Misrepresentation will not DO

for the election OF Col. dn Pont. In
all they voted for thirteen candidates,
and they even offered to vote for any
two men whom tie Union Republicans
should select, save only Mr.. Addicks.
But Hanna is probably angry at the
failure of his scheme, entered into at
the Republican National Convention in
Philadelphia, last June, to get two Re-
publican lsnators from Delaware, one Of
whom should be Addicks. He thought

Does the LegisIature Legislateq

In view of Developments since the
Adjournment Of the last General
Assembly, the question: "Does the
Legislature legislator becomes one of
great deal of interest.
In the 6rst place. there Is the
Municipal Court judgeship. Edwin r.
Cochran, Jr., was appointed to this
office by former Gov. Tunnel, but his
appointment was not confirmed by the
State Senate. Then Philip @. Church
man was appointed by Gov. HUM. and
now holds the office. Mr.. Cochran,
however, contends that the office is
one not within the provisions of the
Constitution requiring confirmation by
the State Senate, and that he, there
fure, by virtue Of his appointment, is
entitled to hold the Office fof the full
term of twelve years. The contention
goes to the Superior Court for settle
ment.
Next comes the case of the State
detectives. The Legislature legislated
Detectives MONEY and Witsil out OF
office, and then passed bill author
izing the governor to appoint two de-
tectiyss, wherenron Gov. Hum APP
pointed Captain Black and James p.

test this action, under the provision OF
the Constitution which says that nc
law shall extend the term OF any public
officer or diminish his salary or emolu.
ments after his election or appoint

Finally comes the Levy Court OF

passed law increasing its member.
ship from five to seven, and author
izing the governor to appoint the two
additional members for the time being.
Gov. Hum appointed Messrs. Elliott
and Willetts, and it is said that the

HANDSOME GAVEL


One CT the features of the Tuesday
afternoon session of the G. A, R. was
the presentation to Commander Mon
fort by Junior Vice Commander Chas
H. Newton, cf Marietta, gavel made
of historic wood.
The following speech explains the
gift in detail:
Department Commander:
ask but a monument of time. | hold
in my hand a bit of wood with his
tory, on which | shall attempt but the
faintest outline. Soon after the land
ing of these rs sturdy pioneers at Mar
etta, April Z, 1883, fort called
Campus Martius," was erected for
their protection. 1t was about $50 feet
square with a blockhouse at each cor
ner. Could this wood tell us of the
tolls and struggles, the hopes and
fears, of the occupants of this struct-
ure, many of them veterans of the
Revolution, veterans like Yourself and
our comrades, of a later war, how eag-
er we all would be to catch each word.
1t was at this settlement where the
principles of the ordinance of 1887
were applied in the first permanent
occupation of the soil of Ohio by syste-
matte colonization. But it is unnec-
essary to call to memory facts known
to all. From one of these buildings in
this, one of the most historic spots of
our country, this wood was taken.
/ trust, sir, you will accept of this
relic as a memento and token of high
esteem not only by the speaker, but by
all the comrades here, for your very
successful administration as Comman-
der of the great Department of Ohio
