A Body BLOW at AadIeksIsm.

Governor HUM Tuesday gave Ad-
dicks Republication in Delaware
body blow by making an appointment

his political and official sympathies are
no longer-if ever they wsre-with that
faction of the Republican party.
Tuesday Governor Hum appointed
Muses. We'll TO the Office of justice OF
the pence 10 Wilmington hundred.
Without going into the personal merits
OF the appointment. it can with truth
be said that We'll was the candidate OF
the Regular Republican faction, while
Eberhard p. Freys was the candidate
OF the Addicks faction. Each candi-
date had a few recommendations from
men who were affiliated with the opro.
site faction, but it ia fact that the
hulk of Wells backing was Regular
Republican, while Addicks Republicans
of influence pleaded with the governor
to appoint Freye. And tie governor
appointed We'll.
Governor Hum, according to the
Morning News, appointed We'll IN &C.
cordsnce with promise made by him
to number of Hebrew Republicans OF
Wilmington, prior to the election, that
be would recognize their element in
the distribution of official patronage.
They recommended We'll almost to a
man and therefore the governor ap.
pointed him But. at tho same time,
be also turned his back upon the AID.
dicks Republicans, because they wanted
freye appointed, 10 order to streng then
them among the Germans, with whom
Freye is popular.
All other considerations aside, Gov
ernor Hum has done well in repudiat.
ing the Addicks Republicans. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has plainly shown that
he has no sympathy with them. and
Governor Hum is following his exam
pie. He cannot do otherwise and pre-
serve his Official and personal respect.

was considered tnv best bid. William
\. Goenner was the lowest bidder at
S235. "
A warrant for $1,000 was drawn In
favor Of the Ferris Industrial School,
that being the amount OF the appro.
priation. The court was informed by
Attorney Horace @. Knowles, however,.
that by reason of a provision adopted
10y the last Legis allure, the court was
required to appropriate 500 for each
boy admitted to the institution from
New Castle county. AS the report of
the then superintendent A. s. Meseryo
announced that there were IA BOYS in
the school at the first OF the year, the
county would be liable for payment
OF 81, 400, provided they all came from
New Castle county. 1t was decided to
ascertain from the school authorities
how many of the "a boys wero from
this county, and an additional warrant
covering the total Inability of the
county will probably be passed out Of
nnappropriatsd funds later. t
Commissioner Chandler reported that
he had been informed that the Will

been paid its bridge tax for three years.
The o.erk OF the court was directed to
request the comrany to pay them.
Court adjourned to meet next Tues

is found to be satisfactory the court

OF about lS9 copies of the last volums

that sufficient interest might te aroused
to have team sent from the Delaware

Guard rifle match at SEA- Girt, N. j.,

State Was represented at such a match.
There 10 no money to ray the members
OF the team for their time while away,
but the State can pay their travelling
and hotel expenses. So that Col. Town.
