move Of the Union Republic
ans, to capture the two United
states Scnatorships in the election of
u Legislature favorable 10 Mr..
Addicks and his chosen associate
seems to have been an announce
nlent to the Democrats and Regular
Republicans that their leader had
decided to lie down, and allow the
Presidents party, as he dcsignates
the Regulars, to see what they
cOl]it do against the powerful Demo
cratic forces at work in Delaware.
The Democratic leaders refllte this
to-day i'll signed statements dcclar-
ing this on ruse to weaken the
opposition, that the campaign funds
from Mr.. Addicks' treasury is al
ready distributed and is in the hands
OF those who will use it III the most
advantageous ways.
Fusion, which the Democrats and
Regulars are trying against Mr..
Addicks in the strong Union Repub-
llcan districts of lower Delaware,
seoms to be all the rage in Sussex. |
and to-day an agreement was COM /
pleted fOr fusion upon the Regular
Republican candidate for State sena-
tor III the First Sussex district the
Democrats withdrawing Candidate
Henry Clay Jones. 1t will, however,
take vigorous drives to defeat Sena-
tor PenneWill the Union leader who
is running for reelection there and
who enjoys a wide popularity.
