"Gast Side.
Although the next campaign is
sometime of. il is assuming consider
able vigor. Addicks and his crowd in
meeting yesterday decided on a plan
OF action. His ultimatum published a
few days ago in which he stated that
the Union Republicans would not COM
promise under any consideration is
considered as the last cry of a drown
ing man. by those who know the game.
The meeting yesterday was not
strong one, either from a numerical
standpoint or from the standpoint OF
lenthusiasm. Those who attended tried
TO make others think that the meeting
was fun of hurrah Their faces how
ever. betokened that they were battling
for a hopeless cause. Such astute lead
ers as Gale layton, j. Frank Alice
land Insurance Commissioner Mar
shall were there with a lot Of lesser
lights from New Castle county. This
lcounty contains lesser lights
and few others. for be it known that
the men of intelligence of this baili-
wick do not lean towards things cor
lrupt.
1t is said that men skilled in the art
lof "resoluting' were there ready to
resolve" at Addicks' command but as
no resolutions were sprung upon the
lexpectant and enlightened public, it is
supposed that they were held in abey-
ance until some more propitious time
@ o &.
] am informed that Frank Ewing
was absent because he and Mr.
Addicks are somewhat on the outs.
Frank wants to representative again,
but as he has record of not doing
Everything to elect two senator's, he
win have considerable trouble on his
hands in landing safely in the repre-
sentative fight.

Governor HUM evidently feels cha
grinod at the decision of the Supreme
Court in the Cochran case Who
knows but that Mr. Churchman will be
made Secretary of State, should Gale
Layton resign? There is rumOr
THAT he is contemplating such a step.
llt is rumored that His Excellency, the
IAADN tA llOls anu Ills DtElkldlN are MUA
the best of friends just now Gale is
too tempestuOus for the Governor and
is no doubt responsible for considerable
lof the uncomplimentary criticism
which has been heaped upon him since
his advent into public office

And l said i'm my haste all men are
liars So evidently belleveth the
Governor. as he has been duped. It is
said on good authority that Levy
lCourtman Ewart promised Governor
HUM positively that he would use his
Influence to have Horace Greeley
Knowles retained as attorney for the
court. One of two things happened to
Ewart after The appointment-he
+, either forgot his promise or had a
change of heart as to the usefulness Of
knowles to Addicks. Ewart belongs
to Addicks but Knowles does not;

alnothing to do with the institution, Nc

he will be named by Mr. Ewart.
