TIE Next COMMITTEE.

Yesterday the national committee
decided to place the Addicks delegates
on the temporary roll This is not all
together a matter Of surprise, since
all have understood that the real fight
will come when the case is heard by
the committee on credentials.
Addicks is a member Of the National
Committee and. consequently, has had
every advantage that four years Of as
sociation with the members could give.
But when the contest comes before the
committee named by the respective del
egations to hear contests, there is a
possibility Of a different decision.
The delegates to Chicago sent by the
Regular Republicans have no pleasant
task to perform. 1t is their painful
duty to present case which is sicken-
ing IN it's tales Of debauchery and sub
serviency. They arc Obliged to contest
for seats against a political highway
man. a man who socially and IN every
other way they despise, and his paid
and subservient tools.
All honor to them, whether defeated
or victorious. Let us welcome them
home with the assurance that true Re-
publicanism in Delaware is not dead
and that 1t viii give a better account
Of itself than ever.
