Unions and try to wipe as out Our
cause is as fair and just as It was in
1896 and the reasons are stronger now
why we should be seated than they
were in 1896"
Mr.. Higgins Talks.
This statement of Colonel Nields was
followed by loud applause, after which
Mr.. Higgins was called on lie said.
81 am very sorry that the two conn
mittees of the national convention took
the action they did" said Mr.. Higgins
II think they were wrong, and from
what 1 have heard ! have reason TO
believe that II a vote had been had IN
| the committee on credentials the result
would have been different I do not
see how the action has altered the sit
uation in Delaware. IL is an the same
old story to us. We have been there
before many a time.
81 am sure the seating Of the Regu-
/ lar Republicans i'm 1896 did not strength
en- that party. And 1 am equally as
sure that the seating of the Union Re
publicans I'm 1900 did not strengthen
them. I do not know whether the ma
tional committee lost sight of the per-
sonal factor. but we have not. No
party can be founded on personality
like that of Mr.. Addicks We stand
for Republicanism. for the permanent
good Of that which Is our special
charges. and that is the interest of an
that good citizenship stands for I'm Del
aware.
1T is the resistance Of small State
against a rich boodler. IL has always
been my contention that the United
States is large enough 10 take care Of
itself. but the three counties here in
Delaware have to work out their owl
salvation i'm fear and trembling.
I'VE have fought a good fight. We
have kept the faith and viii continue
TO do so until the end. For my part
have no doubt about the result. The
Regulars OF Kent and Sussex are tn,
heroic Regulars. Here in New Castle
county we stand for an good govern
ment means in the protection Of the In
terest of the people against what tn
Democratic party brought. We stan'
for the reduction of the tax rate from
so cents to so cents on the 500. w
stand for the protection of real estat
against spoliation. We viii continu
the struggle and we will succeed

Ie said:
IS II felt that all we cou,d say or that

these few lines. The delegation we Sc
