Tho Republican Factions Conferred and
Failed to Agree.
Georgetown, Aug. 13.-The Regular Re-
publican and Union Republican County
Committees met here yesterday TO see what
arrangements could be made to unite the
Republicans of Sussex.
The Regulars suggested that tender of
the offices Of coroner and register of wills to
the anti-Addicks men would mean sure har-
mony. This would leave the Union Repub-
licans the sheriff, clerk OF peace, recorder
of deeds and county treasurer. The Regulars
insisted, also, upon two candidates for the
General Assembly being conceded them out
OF the u to be chosen. Upon this, however,
the Addicks men were obdurate, and ALSO
lutely refused TO deal, declaring that the dis
tricts were capable of taking care of their
own atfnirs in the matter of legislative rep
resentation.
Each committee, however, met at the APP
pointed place. Chairman Jospeh L. Cahall
OF the Unions appointed conference COM
mittee of five to wait upon a similar com
