Edward Ad dicks has made known his desires, in tentions and purposes to tho Republi can voters of Northwest Fork hundred. Two weoks ago arrangements were made to have Mr. Addicks come here and meet nnd talk with tho people, lie arrived Wednesday evouing and was met at tho station by a number of his staunchost supporters. After supper at tbe home of Representative Nevjoll Ball, Mr. Addicks came to Academy Hall, which hail been decorated for the occasion, principally with American flags. Mr. Addicks entered about 8.IK) o'clock and was introduced and graspod ! the hand of every one present. Then ' B. B, Fennewili announced that Mr. Addicks would niuke a few remarks. Mr. Addicks suid in part that he had boon a resident of Delaware for 17 years, regardless of reports to tho contrary, and always desired Republican success in this State, but did not until 1888 take politics. That year he assisted in many ways and it was through his influence that Anthony Higgins received the necessary number of votos to elect him to the United States Bonatn. He spoke <»f the campaigns of 1890, 1892 and 1894, und of the senatorial con test in the lust Legislature.Trickery and deceit active interest in Delaware manifested there and he determined that it should bn " Ad dicks or nobody. ** Since then many pi pie who did not approve his method now commend it. Many people who at the time of the contest to him now think he should have been elooted. Senator Mitcholl of Oregon, who htiH charge «if the du Pont case, suid he thought thut he (Addicksi should have been elected, but from ti technical vi elected. The principal object of tho meeting, Mr. Addicks said, was to let the voters know what he wants and will do. His only HHpiruti to control the State convention that «fleets delegates to go to St. Louis in June to choose a Republican nominee for President. If he lias control of that convention be will give any anil all ussistanco needed to make Republi can success possible this fall, but if ho fails he will know the majority of the voters do not desire his assistance unit he will stop quietly out, doing nothing except cast u vote at tbe coming elec tion. He predicted that all the Kent very large Sussex would be with him, and that if a fair count i not favorable thinks du Pont was county delegates ami Jority i possible ut the primaries a number <»f Now Castle county delegates will also I side. Ho said ho did not believe there could bo found another fool like him, who would do ho much for the party, but if they still desire Iiîh assistance 1 then elect delegates to go to Dover in structed in Iuh interest. C. P. Swain, a staunch lliggina. supporter, desires to name the delegates from this hundred as he wants to bo of the dol«»gsitoH to St. Louis. Mr. Addicks spoke of the great work Mr. Swain had done for the party, but it wuh a case where a "favorite been brought out. knowing his strength in the hundred. Mr. Swain's interest, though, is not u pi»rsonai thought those present would agree with hint in that particular. He believed in allowing Mr. delegates, but they w his Swain to name tho to be in- \ struct«'«! according to the wish of tho ' mu jority of tho voters. lloro the speech, which occupied about 20 minutes, closed amid loud applause. Mr. Swain followed. He said ho hud » been voting for.15 years and had alwuys worked f«*r Republic hud always been a Republican and turning directly toward Mr. Addicks, said, "und I never bave voted for a Democrat." Mr. Addicks replied, "Mr. Swain, I nave never heard of your being accused of it. " Mr. Swain said he hud for a number of years exposed himself to all kinds of weather for the asks his first Ha party's interest anil favor of tho party— tbut ho be allowed to name tbe dele gates to the State convention.
