finely bred, or too personally stuck up,
TO seek and find friends among the peo-
ple-the "common people"-whom the
.'snssiety folk" have from time out Of
nemory regarded us ''publicans and sin
ners." the small fry politicians who Strad-
die the fence, because they are afraid
decisive opinion expressed would spoil
their chances for nominations and cleo
tions, these are all Anti-Addicksltes,
and all "regulars;" and at most constr
tute only Il destructive minority that has
been holding up the Republican party of
this State unreasonably and unjustly !
DELAYING it's complete triumph over the
Democratic party.
About the Senatorial platform sug-
gested, it is simply the old Anti-Addicks-
ite platform. One Of the Anti-Addickslte
falacies about this Senatorial matter is
that the Union Republicans are, or ought
10 lie, convinced that they cannot elect
| Mr.. Addcks to the United States Sen-
ate. There is no such Union Republican
confinement, and no reason for sup
posing there is such thing. Constant
and uniform approach to desired con
Summation is surely not evidence of its I'M
lpossibility. In the game of tire OUT,
which the ti-Addicksites have been
playing, the evidences of fatigue appear
10 he with the makers Of the game. The
Union Republicans are mot even little
Ihi, fired" SO the conclusion reached by
our Anti-Addickslte contemporary
amounts to this: The Anti-Addicksites
who fought to- know that they cannot
elect their candidate, or any of them, to
the United States Senate, until they ack-
knowledge the validity of majority votes
in political decisions, the obligations of
Iparty representatives to respect the
manifest majority wish of the party,
and the right Of the majority of the Re-
publican legislative delegates TO name
Republican can,..uates for offices hlled
. by legislative election, ought to make
that Acknowledgement and vote for can
lidates who can he elected by the Repuh'
/ Iican, legislative vote. If the du Pont
