WHAT OE THE FUTURE,

Two things indicative of the future i'll
Delaware politics are now plain. The
Anti-Addicksites have only delayed, and
not prevented Mr.. Addicks' election to
the United States Senate. The distinc-
tion between the Republicans and Anti
Addicksites has been marked so dis
tinctly that there is no longer any doubt
about where the Republicans of this city
and county are to rally in the coming
contests with Democrats. Whatever
other conditions may obtain, the Repub-
Leans will rally on the Union Republi-
can flag.
L here has been an idea abroad among
the people that Union Republcanism
represented factionalism; that it repre-
scented something in politics prejudicial
to the interests of the people, and that
was disloyal to the principles and poll
cies of the great party of which it
claimed to be Il division. That has all
been removed. The idea was political
mirage made permanent by continual
slander of men and Misrepresentation of
parties. The people have been convinced
of the truth and loyalty Of Union Repub-
licans to the great National party, to
which the country owes so much, by its
sturdy courageous fight against every
evil political combination arrayed against
it-by its patience, its generosity and its
yalor. Its victories for the Republican
party in 1894, &c. '9S and 1900, victories
won against terrible odds, have won the
confidence of the Republicans as no
other party organization has ever won
or held it, The course of the Union Re-
publicans under Mr.. Addicks' leadership
during all these campaigns was marvel
of patience, generosity and courage.
The men who promoted the recent legis-
lative defeat Of the Republican attmcpt
to elect two Republican United States
Senators, tried in every way possible to
defeat the effort to make an acceptable
Republican ticket. to be voted for by all
the Republicans. All the arts of wicked
political diplomacy We're exhausted in
their attempt. Having in view the fina
effort i'll the legislature, men were nom
mated by the common vote of the party
who were already pledged to defeat til,
great object of the campaign Ever,
pledge of the Union Republicans wa,
faithfully carried out. Every pledge o
the Anti-4Addicksites was violated, an,
us consequence the State is now with
out any representative in the Senate o
this result was deliberately brough
about as the result of planned treason t.
the Republican party has seized tn
minds of the Republican voters with
force and tenacity that no sophistry ca

This situation Warrants this concll
