KNOWS OF NO CHANGE
General Wilson Favors Colonel Dupont
and Congressman Ball.

In answer to kilograms sent out by
the Philadelphia Press last evening
General James II. Wilson sent the fol-
lowing answer:
am not advised of any change in the
senatorial situation The only way
which see for preventing Addicks and
his followers from entrenohing them
selves and their methods now, or two
years from now. in the Senate of the
United States is for the Democrats to
turn In and help the Regulars to elect
two straight Republicans. / believe
they will do this when they thoroughly
understand the difficulties and danger
of any other course.
Addicks conditional withdrawal, it is
now certain, was merely the first move
in the next campaign to force the Reg
ulars into an arrangement, the effect
of which will be to compromise them,
to give Addichs one senator now, and to
commit the Regulars irrevocably to the
Endorsement of his practices. which
would fasten them indefinitely on the
party and the State.
Neither the State nor the Senate nor
the country can afford to have either
Addicks or any one else who has taken
his money or indorsed his methods.
elected now, or at any other time. AS
the facts become known this conclusion
must receive every honest citizens
hearty approval.
II the Democrats decide to elect two
Republicans IL is presumed they will
take those named by the Regular eau
Gus, Colonel Dupont and Congressman
Ball, two perfectly honorable and hon
est Republicans, who will be a credit to
the State and who will certainly make
no compromise with Addicks or his
methods.

NOW UP TO THE
DEMOCRATS
Ccontinsed from First Page.)


Democrats without the declaration Of
their logical nominees and leaders,
Messrs. Kenney and salisbury. who
have as yet made no public declaration
for such a party sacrifice. Mr.. Ken
ney, has, however. declared for the
election of a Republican for the long
term, the short term TO be left vacant
Mr. Kenney admitted TO Messrs. Nc
Fee and Wolcott that there was really
no more danger TO the Democratic
party's future in supporting two Reg
ulars than in electing one for the long
term, and letting the other go by de-
fault, but beyond that he has refused
to talk.
Salisbury and Kenney control, abso-
lutely, enough votes in the Democratic
caucus to elect two Regulars at any
time the Anti-Addicks Republicans will
allow them. but what is retarding this
movement is the tidings that come In
from various parts of Wilmington and
some OF Kent county. Two Democratic
organizations Of Wilmington threaten
TO establish an Independent party Il
such a thing is attempted. while in
Kent county there are prominent Demo
Gratis who have served notice on tn,

thought Of their lost opportunity I
deal the knockout blow to Fighter AID
dicks. and they SAW it coming squarel
to their own heads.
Today The principal Speculation
among Anti-AddiclSs workers Of a
parties will be as to what Regulars wi
be picked out for election In case OF tn
agreement to fuse
'The only obstacle to our electin
two Regulars said Mr. McFee, Demo
cratic worker last night, "is that Demo
Gratis in the Legislature still think the
