HELD BOOK
RECEPTION,

The Democratic League OF Della.
ware held a a book reception on
Saturday evening and about $50
books were presented by friends OF
the League.
The principal speaker was 10 hn
S. Rossell who said in part:
"The inauguration Of library
is ia harmony with Washington S
ardent hope that the American peo-
pie would develop the highest order
3. Of intelligence and find their great
est strength in the possession of
true knowledge and in the prac-
tices OF virtue. While the various
political parties had their special
tavorlos. whose memories the re.
vered, Washington was not, and
could not be, claimed by any party.
lie was sppreheusive that the
growth OF the party spirit would
endanger the Republic and he
waraed his fellow country
against encouraging this spirit.
"rhe people OF Wilmington have
been tritled with by the General
Assembly of Delaware and meas
ures proposed tor their relief have
been made contemptuously ignor ed.
"Complaiut has been made that
the burdens Of government are un-
bearable and the response has been
an increased tax rate. Popular de-
maud has been made that frunchis-
es for the use OF the streets should
be made Il source OF revenue and
the demand has been met with a
Tree grant Of rights Of great value
to those who secured them, and not
a dollar has been paid into the
treasury as consideration to the
city for these exceptional privileges.
II the people will now follow the
teachings and example of Washing
ton they will unite in a demand the
Legislature for the granting OF full
and complete home rue for Will
ming,on. AS first step 10 this d.
rec,ion no man should be permitted
to represent the city in the General
Assembly who ls not in perfect ac-
cord with the people on this most
import ant issue.

ADDlCKS MEN
ARE CHAGRlNED.
From The Pl,i!aielphi. Record.

Addicks men are chagrined
because the "Regular" Rcpubli.
cans have paid no attention to
their proposals for peace. They
have u scheme on foot to colonize
Il number of voters in the close
districts of the State. One of the
places causing some worriment is
the Dover -Murtlerkill Senatorial
district, where George M. Fischer
will make the fight for the nomina-
ton OF Senator against the Addicks
State Chairman, james +. Alice.
Fisher is close friend of Cover
nor Hum.
The friends of the Governor will
also run, it is said, a candidate for
the lower House in North Murder.
kill Hundred. Should the Cover
nor be able to carry these districts
he would enter the race for the
Senatorship with considerable
prestige, and for tie first time in
years the solid Addicks lines
would be broken.
Addicks men are counting on
the voters assistant law to aid
them greatly at the coming
election. BY this law every voter
can take an advisor into the booth
with him. According to Secretary
of State Layton, all the Union Re-
publicans will take these assist
ants, and in this way the Addicks
men will be able to tell how all
the votes are cast.
With these points in their favor,
and with a possible chance of get
ting several members from New
Castle County, many Of the
Addicks leaders favor making u
straislt-out fight for the Legisla-
ture and have no comprmise with
their factional opponents. These
Addicks men count on gaining
several members from the lower
counties, and argue that they
would stand as good a chance Of
victory without the Regulars os
with them when the Senatorial
fight is considered.
