about $50 persons, was presented to the

This campaign is signal victory. for
the two emirs have terrorized the

ment by him of a domestic parcels

ground that il would mean the busi

Here is a little item of news from
the Eastern Shore Of Maryland which
demonstrates the political iniquity OF
the German election law: 1.-The census
OF the illiterate voters in Cecil county
as shown by the poll book, is 1886, Of
which 5s9 are colored and S97 white. ="
Assuming that the 5S9 colored men are
Republicans and that fully one-half Of
the illiterate whites are Republicans,
we have in Cecil county alone the dis
reimbursement of 7S7 Republicans as
against 1879 Democrats. These figures
speak for themselves.

ADDIoKs COMPROMISE IMP0s
SIBLE

Majcr Carson. the Washington cor
respondent OF the Philadelphia Ledger
IS perfectly right in his conclusion that
an extra session OF the Delaware Leg
islature would not result In nhe cleo
ton Of two Republican United States
senator's
The seven Regular Republican mem
bers who refused to vote for Addicks
during the regular session are as firm
to-day in their position as they We're
ON the day Of final adjournment. They
stand ready and willing TO elect two
Republican senators. but insist that Ad-
dicks shall retire. No money, no Fed
eral or State patronage, no specious
argument OF party expediency can
move them TO accept and vote for the
conspirator, disruptionist and corrup-
ZIONIST All those inducements We're
offered and rejected at the regular
session. They would have even less
force and effect at an extra session. On
tie Regular Republican side there Is
bu, ere solution Of the difficulty 1t is
for tiie Union Republican members to
drop Add:cks. - ....-.
The Addicksites, on the Other hand,
are seemingly as determined as ever
that il shall be Addicks or nobody
They will listen TO no talk of q compro-
mise which does not include his cleo
ticn TO the United States Senate. Where
the Regular Republicans are fighting
for the supremacy OF a high moral
and political principle the Addicksites
are cortending for the supremacy of a
man whose highest boast is that he Is
a buyer of men, and that he is deter
mined to have n senatorship because he
has bought and paid for It.
Il will be seen at a glance that with
Addicks remaining in the field. the diff
ferences existing between the Regular
Republicans and the Union Republi-
cans are simply iweconcilable. With
him out Of Il. they could be adjusted
and two senators elected within forty
eight hours
The Regular Republicans want them
adjusted, but Addicks and his follow
ers DO no.. While recognizing the
stumbling block and the grave conse-
Quences arising therefrom. they re-
fuse absolutely TO remove Il.
A bestowal OF the Federal patronage
upon Addicks would not relieve the
situation in any particular. for it would
fail TO accomplish the one great thing
needed and imperatively demanded
his retirement from the senatorial con-
test.
President Mckinley has no desire to
recognize Addicks. He is net in sym
pathy with his political methods. There
is nothing in common between them
In character they are as far apart as
the poles. The president knows thai
such recognition would not brine
about the election of two senators anC
that II only would serve to bring upor
himself, and his administration a ma
tional storm OF criticism from source.
which now are friendly. Such a pric,
wculd be too much to pay under an,
circumstance. and particularly so whel
nothing practical would result there
from for the good OF the country an,
the welfare of the Republican party.
