From the Sussex Republican
The independence Of the Union Re-
publicans, adds credence to the rumor
that there viii be a strong effort made
at the next Union Republican state
Convention TO prevent the reelection
of Senator Alice as Chairman Of the
Union Republican State Committee
II is a fact that many Union Repubh-
cans are tired Of being ordered about
by Alice and Layton and are opposed
TO their running the Union Republican
party any longer for their benefit. All
these things are evidence that the men
who are interested in the future sue
cess Of Republican party above all
other considerations. even the candi-
daoy of Addicks, are going to assert
their strength and insist that the Re-
publicans of this State have one com
mon ticket for which to cast their

The realism with which the great

higher than the other and crashing
upon the rocks of the great lighthouse

nine portion of the audience, and IL is
not unusual for the sterner sex in the
first few rows to evince a desire to get
out of danger. 1t comes to the Lyceum
