pubIioans Denouneing the
Senator For obstinacy.
Special to the Evening Journal.

Dover Del, oct. 6.-The appoint
ment Of John =. Nields as United
States District Attorney for Delaware
has cast CONSERVATION among the rank
and file of the Union Republicans Of
Kent and Sussex counties, and United
states Senator J. Frank Alice is be-
ing denounced on an sides for his
obstinacy in insisting on the appoint
ment Of Walter II. Hayes for the place.
when the judiciary and bar of the
state were almost unanimous for Mr..
Nields. AS soon as the news of the
appointment reached the State capitol
Senator Alice and Secretary of State
Layton drove to Wyoming to consult
with Governor Hum in reference TO
the matter. What The outcome Of the
conference was none of the parties in,
terested would divulge.
The Union Repubhcans here were
given every assurance from Senator
Alice that Mr. Nields would not be ap-
pointed and that the probabilities were
that either w. s. Hilles or Attorney
General Ward would secure the plum.
They are all very bitter now and say
that they do not believe that the senior
senator has the prestige with the ad-
ministration that he has been claim
ing.
The Regulars are very much elated
over the appointment and claim that
the selection Of Mr.. Nields win inspire
new confidence in the rank and file OF
the party i'm the two lower counties and
that it will help them very materially
in the next campaign to give a finish
ing knockout blow to j. Edward Ad-
dicks aspirations for United States
Senator.

The selection of Mr.. Nields was q

were unprepared for the announce

Mr.. Nields. The dismissal Of Miss Todd
from the Dostoffice in Greenwood was
taken by some to mean that the Addicks
side would be recognized. The appoint

in view.
The Addicks people regard the Pres
