New Castle, Aug. 25.-The arrival OF
]. Edward Addicks in this city created
a hutter in political circles yesterday
afternoon and many runors were
afioat regarding the object of his visit.
some of the wiser heads declared
that he had come to consult with MS
local iieutenants and give instructions
as to the policy of the coming cam
paign. Others said that his object was
to call on a certain colored woman in
the city who recently gave birth to
twins. both of whom were boys, re-
garding their candidacy for silver
spoons.
Each surmise was incorrect, however
il appears, as upon his arrival he was
met at the station by James G. Shaw
and together they drove to Mr.. Ad-
dicks farm below New Castle, where
they had some business Of private
nature to discuss
Upon their return Mr.. Addicks was
the guest of Mr. Shaw at dinner and
returned to his home later by trolley
As he had come to New Castle In order
to fulfill an engagement with Mr.. Shaw
his visit had no political Significance
nor did he meet any party leaders.
Trouble in the Ranks.
Although the Democratic meeting on
Tuesady night passed off i'm the manner
of a love feast, there has arisen from
its ashes a ripple of party contention
which may cause some dissension be-
fore it subsidies. Henry Holschumaker,
as is we'll known, fully expected that
he would be named State delegate
from the First district and was pre-
pared to serve in that capacity. When
he was side-tracked by the committee
in it's selection of delegates and the
name Of William II. Cooper, Jr, was
substituted, Mr.. Holschumaker being
named as an alternate, he became Of
tended and declined to serve in the
latter capacity. The ignoring Of Hol-
schumacher created dissatisfaction
among his followers and the result was
that his name was filed yesterday with
the county committee by Artemus
Smith and will appear on the ticket
at the primaries.
Mr.. Holschumaker contends that he
was unfairly treated inasmuch as II
was generally understood that he
would be named as delegate and be-
lieved he was entitled to that consider
alton from the party for the work he
had done. In conversation last night
AIr. Holschumaker said that he had
understood that there was an effort to
be made to have Mr.. Holcomb use his
influence to induce him CHolschuma-
ker) to withdraw his name for har-
mony's sake. He declared, however,
emphatically that neither Mr.. Holcomh
nor Mr.. Any-body-else could force him
off the ticket as he was there to stay
win or lose
Another contention has arisen also
in the Third district for a place as
state delegate. Joseph ]. Whalen COW
cts the honor, but as Daniel ]. Sullivan
was named by the committee, Mr..
Smith, at the instigation of Whalen,
filed his name also with the county
committee yesterday. Some of the
Democrats are bitter in their denuncia-
tions of their nshrdl ushrdlu mfwypd
tions of these new aspirants and a
knife drawing contest is predicted at
the primaries. How far 1t will affect
the party is not known but it is GER
tain that a wrangle has been started
that will require shrewd political man.
agement to keep it within bounds.
