The Addioks-Anoe Farce.
The action Of the Union Republican
State Committee, at Dover on Saturday
last, in unanimously offering peace over
tures TO the Regular Republican State
Committee, was heralded as great VIC
tory for Senator Alice. The carefully
studied acting Of the Senator and his
political creator. Boss Addicks, in re-
framing from even speaking to each other.
was noted as an evidence Of continued
hostility, and an assurance that Alice is
now master Of the Union Republican or
ganization, while Addicks has at last
been deposed from leadership.
After the echoes OF the shouts announc-
ing the great "Allee victory" had died
away. Addicks raised his voice. He
would have the public know that the
action Of the committee was not Allee's
victory and his defeat. He was just as
victorious as Alice. # not q little more

OF the Union Republican party. without
the shadow Of a doubt upon his title In
one Of his interviews be is quoted as say
ing: "rhe Republicans Of Delaware still
want me for senator, and they are deter
mined, and am determined 70 stand by
them in it. that no Republican shall be
elected 70 the Legislature from either OF
the two lower counties who win not stand
out for Addicks"
Now. this Is no idle boast on the part OF
Addiclls; It is a mere statement Of fact
SO completely has he dominated the Re
publican party in Kent and Sussex coun-
ties that no Regular Republican has the
romotest chance Of securing a legislative
nomination in any Of the districts of those
two counties. Addielss may well say,
therefore, that no Republican shall be
elected to the Legislature from Kent or
Sussex who Is not favorable to him for
Senator. And no doubt he means more
than he said that no Republican shall
be elected from New Castle county either.
