Major John M. t. Carson, writin!
from Washington TO the Philadel
pha Ledger says:
Washington, Nov. 11,-The Presi
dent has appointed William NJ
'Byrne, former United States District
Attorney for Delaware, to his OLD
- position, Mr.. Byrne having resign.
ed to become the Union Republican
candidate for Congress, with the
result that both he and the Regulal
Republican candidate we're d efea ted
hpd a Democrat elected.
The action by the Administration
lis taken distinctly on the ground
that the time has come TO recognize
the Union Republican faction. Up
to this time the neutrality-suspicious.
have been recognized III the be-
stowal Of Federal patronage, and
the Union Republican. or AdIlcks
faction, has been passed by. This
was done by President Mckinley
and by President Roosevelt. not.
withst andng the fact that the
Addicks faction was recognized by
the Philadelphia Convention. and
Mr. Addicks was two years ago
chosen the National COMMITTEES
man from Delaware.
DOMINANT IN THE PARTY.

tleman who has talked with the
President about the Delaware sit
'uation and has his confidence in re-
gard to il, "means tn at the President
has now decided that the Uuion Re-
publicans are the dominant portion
of the party in Delaware. Up to this
time the Regulars have claimed that
they represented the greater part
OF the votes cast in the State tor Re-
publican candidates. The returns of
the recent election show that the
Regulars have in round numbe
5000 votes and the Union Republic
cans have 1900.

tween 5000 and 1000 over The Demo
Gratis. They chose a Republican
Governor. If they would cooperate !
the State would be safely R:pu bl-
can. This consideration has had |
great weight with the Pres dent. |
Hitherto he has believed that he !
should recognize Representative Ball
in making choice for appointments
in the State. Mr.. Balls now practi-
cally out OF the situation, having
been defealed for Reelection.
I ''The rule is that in the absence
of Senators and Representatives
chosen from his party, the President
looks to the National Committee
man sor advice in Federal appoint
ments. l am not prepared to say
that 10 the present case this will be
done. The President has not init
mated what be will do 10 this part
OF the matter. He doubtless re.
serves his decision as TO this on &C
count of the prolonged and exceed
ingly bitter factlonaI contest that
has existed in Delaware.
ADVICE FROM BALL.
Representative Ball, until his
present term expires the 4th OF
March, will advise IN matters of
Federal patronage. The President
will, however, independently Of this
fact, recognize the Union Republi-
can faction. He will not do this to
the exclusion OF the 'Regulars. 'but
he will no longer regard the latter
dominant.
The next important appointment
will be for the position of United
States Marshal. 1t is expected that
The President will make this appoint
ment soon after his return to Wash. {
fngton, 1t cannot be said that the
place will 60 to the Union Republi- {
cans. The President has given no {
intlmatNn as to what disposition he I
will make OF the matter. !
