Even a stranger in Butte would have
known last night that some great social
event was on. for from $50 until long
after midnight every carriage in Butte
was whirling back and forth bearing
charmingly gowned women and men in
the conventional evening garb. At the
Foster residence S31 West Granite people
attracted by curiosity began to gather at
an early hour to watch the guests hidden
to the nuptials of Mabel Duffield Foster
and w. A. Clark. Jr.. or to the reception
which followed the ceremony.
They could only catch aggravating
gilmpses as the carriages drove up for

With One Voice

From Milford News and Advertiser.
Nearly every newspaper of any con-
sequence in the country has taken oc-
lcasion to comment upon the ending OF
the session Of the Legislature of Del
laware without the election of two SEN
Iators. Almost with Cne voice they
have denounced in scathing terms the
conduct of Addicks. The great Re
publican journals almost with one
voice have criticised the National Com
mittee for seating his delegation al
the last National Convention, and have
commended the brave stand taken by
the seven staunch Regular Republi-
cans. Such opinions cannot be brush
ed aside; they have a meaning. and
that meaning is that Addicks and Ad-
dlcksism have been and are disgrace
rul to Delaware. The Democracy of
a former day carried things with a
high hand, and manipulated the cleo
ton machinery 20 suit themselves. but
lthey have been Outclassed by the
Union Republicans. and new there is
no effort to maintain even the appear

two years hence it Will be at the ex-
pense Of the Republican party, because
he cannot win. and will he still be
supported in this, a useless contest, and
the party again sacrificed? Addicks
was sure of his ability to secure one
lsenatorship, when he was in a posi-
tiOn to offer the other one as a con-
lsideration. but in this he was de-
lCeived; of course he will receive all
the support he can buy, but will he
receive the moral support of men
who have winked at his candidacy "as
means TO an end" when they rccog-
nized the fact that he cannot attain
the end by this means"
VIII the Republicans OF the State
continue to throw away the fruits OF
victory to encourage Addicks in con-
ltinuing to make a hopeless fight? If
the National Committee does not prove
equal to the occasion and call him
down men who have the interest of
the Republican party at heart had bet
ter do so. If any one of these level
headed men can figure out how Ad-
dicks is going to come any nearer the
realization of his hopes two years
hence than he has for the past few
campaigns, we advise him to continue
to support the gasman; if he cannot.
we advise him to exert his Republican
ism and proceed to use his influence
for his party to the exclusion of Ad-
dicks. He might as well recognize the

Salisbury News.

From the Salisbury News.
The Delaware Legislature adjourned
Friday leaving another senatorial
deadlock and the State is entirely un-
represented in the first legislative tri-
bunal ot the nation. The State has
had but one senator for four years.
and now will have no senator for two
years to come, as the legislative ses-
sicns are biennial. There is l. tile like
lihoOd that an extra session of the
Legislature will be called in view of
the apparently irreconcilab.e differ
.cnces between the ccntending factions
and parties. The disfranchisement of
che State Of Delaware has been pro
duced by Mr.. Addlcks, who started out
some six years ago to buy his way
into the United States Senate. 1t is
craditable alike to the Democrats and
10 the Regular Republicans, either of
whom could have gained United
States senator by uniting with Ad-
dicks and giving him an election, that
both preferred to have the State dis
franchised and to reject the offer of a.
ssnatorship, to submission to the dis
honor Of Addicl1s election.
