The proposition TO vote for two Union IN
Republican United States Senators was n,
an acceptance of Union Republicanism va
with all which that name can mean or n,
inply in Delaware politics-if 1t is cor 4,
rupt, it's corruptious; if it is insincere IN n
its Republicanism, it's insinceritus; if in q
competent it's incapacitus. 1t was an !.
assent to anything that would eliminate !,
the personality Of Mr.. Addicks. /;
There can be but one conclusion drawn i
from such a proposition and the crcuni- +
stances under which it was made, and
that is that the Anti-Addicksite conten-
ton is not for principle, or in opposition
to any alleged evil political method, or
result of that method, but political
contention involving nothing better on
the part of its projectors than petty
personal dislike, or a class hatred-a
nurpose of enmity that would make Of
politics a methed, ana Of government ~
instrument of revenge and Vengeance fof
individuals or classes of individuals
who, assuming prerogatives TO whlch
they have no good title, resent lnterter-
epce with them and seek TO punish
those who in the exercise Of their own
undoubted rights, infringe upon the
usurped domain of those individuals OF
classes There can be no greater de-
a nlT N
this-to make law or authority an ms |
trument of private vengeance-and this
is what Anti-.Addicksism seeks to do.
10 make this conclusion good it is only
necessary to remember that Anti-Ad-
dicksism has declared that every thing
anG every body connected with Union Re-
puDlicanism is unclean that its purpose
is low, its methods mean: and that It's
adherents are held together by corrupt
personal interests; and that its effect
upon the politics of the State has been
debasing and destructive. With this
announced opinion Of Union Republican
ism and its effects upon the politics OF
the State, Anti-Addicksites that have
hoated into power as the hotsam and
jetsam of flood, upon the rising tide
Of Union Republicanism, propose to ally
themselves with those cerrupting @ IN
tiuences and become responsible for then
in the future if they can eliminate tbs
individual, among Union Republicans
whom they hate and upon whom the.
desire to be revepged That is the po
ltical situation anent the Anti-Addicks
ite proposition to vote for Messrs Can
non and Ward, as Republican candidate
for United States Senators.
Ii does not alter the case TO say tina
the charges made by Anti-AddirksisI
against Union Republ canis.l are not tru'
In thar case Anti-Addicksism stands col
yicted upon its own admission, Of Sc
les Of political outrages for which thel
is no possible excuse. The prepositio
to vote for two Union Republicans f
Senators is, indeed, an admission th
the charges made against Union Repu
licans are rot true-is an admission tn
Anita Adaick>ism is only the product
Jealousy, spite work and revenge; is
proposition to accept the results, al
share the benefits Of party moyemeI

it can only eliminate that partyss leader

That is what Anti-Addickssm p
