CONVENTION WAS RESPONSIBLE.
New York Tribune, Rep.

New York Tribune, Rep.
The Delaware Legislature has ad-
journed without filling either vacancy
in the United States Senate. Under
the State Constitution there will be no
session IN 1902, the gov ernor will not
appoint, and consequently Delaware
will be unrepresented in the upper
branch OF Congress for two years.
This situation is the direct result OF
the unexpected action OF the Republic
can National Convention last June in
recognizing the claims OF j.. Edward
Addioks to represent the Republican
party OF Delaware and seating his dele
gates. -Four years before, at ST. Louis,
he had been deliberately outlawed as a
traitor to the party, and in the mean
time had succeeded Ia adding some
new chapters to an unsavory record.
Why that just and necessary verdict
was reversed at Philadelphia has never
bAen satisfactorily explained, but in
the light of events the folly Of levers
ing 1t has become more and more ap-
parent. During the Presidential cam
paign the Regular Republicans of
Delaware, acknowledging the authority
of the convention in national politics,
co-operated with tho Addicks forces
to elect Republican President, but
they steadily asserted their right and
obligation to withhold from Addicks
their support in the contest for the
Senatorships which IL was known he

i'll usage. His father. who does not i've
at the house, quietly took him from
his mother. The lad was returned by
his father shortly after IL o'clock Mon
day morning, much to the relief of his
grief mother.
A sad but oft-repeated story is told
by Mrs. Wagner, who was seen Monday
morning by Tho Gazette reporter. Y
For several weeks husband and wife
have been separated, as the outcome OF
family quarrel, and the wife alleges
the husband has been plotting to get
his little son away.
On Friday night Mrs. Wagner retired
after having locked the house com-
pletely. Some time during the night,
she alleges, the husband affected an en-
trance by means Of a ladder and re-
moved several household utensils. On
Saturday night Mrs. Wagner left both
doors open so that her husband would
have no trouble in getting in. When
she awoke Sunday morning she found
that both the front and lack doors were
wide open. This aroused no suspicion
on her part Hut when she found that
ner child was gone she became greatly
alarmed and aroused the neighborhood
The police we've notified and have been
keeping sharp lookout for Mr.. Wagner,
believing he hal the child.
Monday shortly after II o'clock
the lad was dropped unceremoniously at
the front gate by his father, who then
repaired to his boardinghouse across
the road. The boy says that some time
during the night, or rather early In the
morning, he felt his father lift him out
of bed, at the same time saying that he
was going to take him to zee his grand
mother. The two then proceeded on
foot to Carrcroft station, where they
boarded train for Edgewuod, Hartford
county, Md. There they brealsfasted
and spent the day. Monday morning
the father and son drove TO the station
and boarded the train for home. The
little boy said that he had good timt
Willis there but was very glad to gel
back home. He received a new suit o.
clothes.
