love their party and their State will
know how to treat him in the future.
1t has been clearly demonstrated
that the people of Delaware will never
elect Mr.. Addicks; now it is for the
Union Republicans to say whether the
policy of rule or ruin shall prevail.
The Regular Republicans have said
that with Addicks eliminated, they
were willing to vote for any two Re
publicans who might be named. Ad-
dicks has shown himself TO be bigger
than the Union Republican party; he
has demonstrated his ownership of a
large body of men, but he has not been
able to accomplish the disgrace and
dishonor OF our beloved State. All
honor to those brave seven who stood
like a rock fr the honor and inte2rity
of Delaware. They have helped to
make history, and such history as shall
not cause our postefity to blush for
the deeds of their fathers. Addicks
can never be senator. Reverently we
say, thank God!

From the Lewes Pilot.
No bill before the Legislature
aroused so much interest among the
people Of this section as did the Reho-
both land-grab bill, without it was the
bill to bond the town Of Lewes. The
news that the Senate killed the perni-
cious measure was received with joy.
Long lists of signers to petitions We're
sent to Dover. and Democrats, Regular
Republicans, Union Republicans, Pro
hibitiOnists regardless of party ties
lined. up to fight the bill, although
strangely enough the bill was support
ed by the Union Republican members
Of the Senate. Senator Maull repre-
senting the interests Of the people of
his district fought hard against the
grab
Instead of voting away the States
ocean front to the Truitt-Curry syndi-

the bill with an amendment turning
the land over to the State treasurer,
with Instructions to have it surveyed
and afterwards to advertise and sell it,

Boss Addlcks Agaln Defeated

From the Wilmington Every Evening.
When the joint assembly on uhs
Delaware Legislature separated, snort
ly before 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
the last chance for the election of J.
Edward Addicks to the United states
Senate departed for two years to come.
And II the temper and feeling of the
people OF Delaware count for anything,
1t departed forever.
Throughout the State there Is evil
dence Of profound thankfulness that
this is So The people Of Delaware re-
garded the election OF Addicks 10 the
United States Senate as a shame and a
reproach. They despise the man and
they loath his political methods; and
they gladly preferred no representation
at all in the Senate to being repre-
sented by him.
The credit for the defeat of Addicks
is due to the firm stand taken by the
twenty-five Democratic and the seven
Republican members of the Legisla-
ture We say Republican" advisedly,
for they are Republicans, in every sense
OF the word. The designation "Regu-
lar Republicans" has heretofore been
applied to the wing of the party that
they represent, in order to distinguish

Republicans who stood like a stone

Mill Creek hundred.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
"Addicks or Nobod,"
rom the philadolphla Telegraph.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
John Edward Addlcks, the gasman,
has for the third time deadlocked the
Delaware Legislature, and prevented
the election OF a Republican United
States senator. This time, moreover,
his offense has been doubly rank, for
he has succeeded in forcing the final
adjournment OF the Legislature with
two vacancies in the upper branch of
Congress untitled, both Of which could
and should have been filled by the cleo
tiOn Of good and true Republicans.
Without possessing a single qualitica-
ton for such a distinguished honor as
seat in the highest legislative body
in the land; with no claim to such
honor in the way OF personal Character,
attachments. or achievements. with
nothing to commend him to the con-
stituency which he sought to represent
except the money which he has scraped
together by his success as an organizer
and promoter Of gas companies, and a
speculator in their stocks, this politi-
cal huckster has already kept the State
Of Delaware without full representation
In the Senate for four years, and has
nOM utUlANNu IL vi nng
at all in that body for at least two
years TO come, if not for a longer per-
iod.
TIE first protracted vacancy to be
charged against him lasted from March
4. 1895, to February 5, 1897, when it
was finally filled by a Democrat instead
Of the good and true Republican whose
election Addicks had prevented. The
next vacancy resulting from Addicks'
unprincipled hankering for a distinc-
tion to which he had no right began
on March A. 1899, and still continues;
while still another vacancy to be
charged against him began on the 4th
day OF the current month. The sover-
eign State OF Delaware is now without
any representation whatever in the
Senate; but, bad as that may be con-
sidered. it is infinitely less regretab,e
than would have been the breaking Of
the deadlock by the success OF a man
Of Addlcks' type and Addicks' political
methods.
In his defeat he has absolutely no
claim whatever upon sympathy from
any source. He processes to be a Re
publican, but he is simply a gasman-
that and nothing more. The State Of
Delaware is entitled to sympathy in
its bereavement Of its constitutional
right to representation in the Senate,
but it is at the same time to be con-
graduated on escaping once again from
the deep humiliation and lasting dis
grace OF being represented in that or
any other branch Of the National gov
ernment by Addicks. The true and
genuine Republicans of Delaware are
also to be sympathized with on being
for the third time deprived of the sena-
t0rial hOnOrs to which they We're en-
Titled; but they suffer less by that de-
privation than they would have suf-
.fered by proclaiming to the world that
they regarded Addicks as a Republican,
and qualified to represent them.
The gasman's cry has been for
years: "Addicks or nobody" Seven
true, honest, and decent Republicans,
and twenty-five true, honest, and de-
cent Democrats have stood firm in their
response: Nobody rather than Ad-
dicks" One and all they deserve well
of their constituents-and of their
lcOuntrymen.

Land-Grab Denounced
n the Delaware Democrat.


The original bill to sell for a small
price the land lying between ReaOboth
bay and the ocean received its quietus
in the House on Tuesday. 1t was af-
terwards amended to make it less OBJ
jecticnable and passed.
The General Assembly thought they
detected in the matter a huge specula-
ton that would take from the State
property for a small consideration that
would benefit only a few at the pub
lie expense. The interest of the State
they considered should be preserved
instead Of granting bnefits to private
individuals. and in this they but per-
formed the duty imposed upon them by
the people. There are always persons
ready with projects to injure the in
terests Of the people and our legisla-
tive bodies should keep a sharp look
out to nip all their schemes in the bud,
that the public welfare may not be
harmed
The fact that many persons from all
parts of the State and from Maryland
announced their willingness TO pur-
chase the land at a greatly advanced
price was a deathblow to the bill, as it
showed clearly that the price offered
by these named in the bill was greatly
below what could be obtained for it.
That it is proper thing to sell the
land at this time is questionable, but
the amendment was a wise one, au-
thorizing its sale by way of public auc-
ton. as now all may have a chance
to buy and it will bring its full worth.

LEGISLATIVE IMPoTENCY

lature Is ended and everything has been
said and done. the impotency OF the
Addicks representation therein Is
p.ainly apparent. 1t was given out
that unless the Regular Republican
members surrendered their principles
and voted for Addicks all legislation
affecting New Castle county and the
city OF Wilmington would be killed by
way OF reprlsal. The people OF this
county defed them 10 do It, and
promptly informed them that Addicks
could not be elected even il every bill
coming from this end OF the state were
held up or defeated What is the re-
suit?
All bills that New Castle county and
the city of Wilmington were espe-
clally Interested in passed both houses
and are in the hands OF Governor
HUM
New Castle county wanted the state
Hospital at Farnhurst provided for lib
orally. IT got it, in this face of Adj
dicks opposition. 10 also got one Of the
bridge loans for the Levy Court and
the County Workhouse loan.
The clay Of Wilmington got it's loans
for the benefit OF CITY Council. the
Board OF Directors OF the Street and
Sewer Department, the Board OF Park
Commissioners and the Board OF Pub
lie Education. In addition It obtained
authority TO expend an amount not ex-
ceedlng 100000 TO defray the expense OF
assisting the Federal Government in
maintaining the channel OF the Chris
uana river and that. too, after the
vice-president OF the Harlan and Hol-
lingsworth Company had served notice
on the Union Republicans that that
corporation would rather see the
stream dry up and grass grow ON its
bed than have such a man as Addicks
represent Delaware in the United
States Senate. A bill also was passed
providing for a survey OF the Delawarg
river front, and the establishment oi
bulkhead and wharf and pier lines

The only city bills of real importance
which failed to pass were the one pro

A Victory for Delaware
ON the Chicago Tribune.


The long deadlock in the Montana
Legislature has been broken by the
election of a Democratic senator. The
Delaware Legislature has adjourned
sine die without filing either Of the
two senatorial seats. The State is now
without representation in the Senate
Mr.. Addicks was true to his threat
that "Addicks or nobody" should be
elected. The anti-Addicks Republicans
in the Legislature were determined
that he should not be elected. It is a
misfortune that the Republicans should
lose two senators, but the election of
Addicks would have brought discredit
on the State and the Senate. His long
candidacy has had no redeeming fea-
tures.
