BoTH the Regular and Unios
Republican, State Csutrai. Commit
tees have met and each have made
propositions 10 the other.
The Regular. sent word to the
Chairman Of the Union Republic ans
that they would take any body with

The Uoiou Republicans have
sent a counter proposition that they
will vote for any Republican If the
Regulars will vote for Addcks II

split in the Republican party thus
far has not proven as disastrous
as IN Delaware. At one time If
Mr.. Addlcks had sufficient politi-
cal sagacity as he has shown in bis
business transactions he would
now be representing Delaware in
the United States Senate. He al.
lowed the chance to slip by and it
is question If he will ever have
another chance. There is one
thing certain aud that1s that tie
man is a lighter Of the first water
and has bull dog pertinacity and
it is never known when he is
worsted. His friends are sticking
to him and refuse TO allow him TO
be eliminated from the ra nks OF the
Union Republican party at least.
They have stuck most Loyalty to

The fight this fall will from
present indications will be as warm
as any campaign ever conducted

very little can be eXpe cted. They
