Delaware.

From the Philadelphia Record.
1t means much to the politics of the
country THAT public sentiment has at
last forced Delaware Republicans to
stine the cry of "Addicks or nobody"
by electing other Republicans than Adj
dicks to the United States Senate; it
would mean more if the conditions Of
the election more clearly foreshadowed
the complete collapse of the conspiracy
in which Addicks has been engaged so
many years with the proaigacy of a
spendtnrift and the morals of a high
,wuyman. Unfortunately, ii would not
be safe to assume that the partial sur
render he was forced TO make yesterday
takes him forever out of the field; for
with plenty of money at command and
no conscience to stay his purpose there
is no doubt that the will continue to fig
ure as an important factor in Delaware
politics. He must inevitably fail at the
last, however, for an avalanche OF pub
lie protest against him has begun to
move, and II will gather strength and
momentum as the result of Monday s
partial triumph for decency.
Addicks says that he has two years
in which to make a fight for the sena-
torship. That is true since Senator
Balls term expires in that time. It is
also true, however, that the Repub-
licans Of Delaware have two year:
in which to battle against him, an(
with at least as much hope of success
as in the past.
Certainly the results of the fight /,

ward he holds the most lucrative Office
in the State, and has secured q plum
for his son in the shape of the private
secretaryship TO J. Frank Alice.
Alice has been the chairman of the
Addicks State Committee. AS such he
has undoubtedly handled the Immense
corruption fund that Addieks has pour
ed into Delaware. According to the
statements OF George Kennan which

William Michael Byrne was appoint

largely because OF his opposition to
AddiclSs, and of his allegiance TO good

thai Ailee would do so If requested,
and frankly says he might change his
mind.
AddiclIs does not regard the break
ing of the deadlock and the election of
two Republicans to represent Delaware
in the United States Senate as a per-
sonal defeat and the Regulars are not
claiming q decisive victory. The effect
of the compromise upon the politics Of
Delaware will be determined TO some
degree by the extent to which the Ad-
ministration permits Addicks to con-
troll Federal patronage through his
man Alice. Addcks boasts that he will
control It all and use it to build up his
machine to the exclusion of the Regl-
lars and insure his own election two
years hence. There is no limit to his
| impudence, but it is not 10 Ibe believed

fight along the old lines, and ii is more
than ever necessary for the Regulars
to keep their flag flying and maintain
their organization. II the Regulars give
battle as sturdily during the next two
years as they did during fourteen years
past, correcting their mistakes by tha
light of experience and placing public
interests above factional advantage,
they may turn the compromise into
