A Truce Declared



DOVER, Jan. IA truce has appar-
entity been declared for the balal CO of ae
week In the Senatorial fight, the various
candidates have Ietul ned TO their homes
and their respective lobbyists have gone
with them. Though the battle has ragged
this week, IS never did Senatorial or in
fact any other political bat 10 In Delaware
before, yet the man who would to-day
dare predict the final outcome, and
attempt to name the man who will be the
choice OF the joint session Of the Legisla-
ture next Tuesday, would be looked upon
by those who are behind the curtain IN
this matter as an enthusiastic crank.
No man eau tell aud not even the most
earnes worker in the cause of his fAvorte
expresses any deglee Of hopefulness as TO
the outcome
Tha truth is, the Republican leaders Of
Delaware are In a dilemma and the
voters Of the party are in dread. Tie
former are puzzled while tho latter are
filed with fear. Tbs feeling possessed OF
the latter Is not without cause. They
know by experience what this sort OF
factional fighting in the Republican
parry L. BY bitter experience they have
been Taught that the seltishness If the
LADDERS when brought to crisis is fol
lowed by defeat. 1t has BEEN the case
before and to many the lolitlcal future
which was lighted up by the victory won
In November is already filing with
Gloom. To many this Is what the p>-
litcll mirror reflects, but TO others the
future has not this dark outlook simp y
because they are determined that history
shall not bs repeated IN 'his case.
They are Republicans, and they are all
men who have made "a record I'm the party
ranks, and 1t is bctrayinR 10 confidence
when the assertion is made that some OF
them Lave the power TO carry out their
opinions, who are looking Il. this fractional
fght with eyes that are not blinded b.
prejudice, AID hence they can See
eeary.
These men have spparently already
given up every idea OF aiding any Of tho c
now 81 prominent in the rlce, aud are
talking dark horses" instead Among
the lat err are mentioned James +. Lot
land, Rev J. 5. Willis and !. Edwari
Addicks. The two former are not clear
Of faetit nal ism, II is true, but Mr.. Ad-
Y dicks u.s. and the ol!-time smile at lis
candidacy has disappeared In many quar-
ters. The impression he made while here
is not only lasting, but it was favorable.
While known 10 DO candidate, h :
conversation was anything else but pc.
litical.
In fact 1t vas business pure and simple
With his usual tact he saw Tho natura
advantages of this section as a manuiac-
turing district, aud 1t is stated On goo
authority he has already on (, OF srvera
schemes looking to the development o
the natural resources OF Kent county att
the building up of Dover. His cDnvarsa
ton plainly Indicated his Intentions II
this matter, and that he has made friend
the conv rsAtion INDUCED IN by leadin
home men plainly indicates He has sal
that the welfare OF the Republican part
Is dear to him, AMI IN that far he is a
Rspiraut for the flee 10 the gift of tn
Legislature, but he is losiOg 10 sleep az
parently over II.
His departure just when the faction
were fighting their bltterest 81 ows him
shri wd and skiiitul engineer, for he LEI
among those who love the Republcd
party an impressive corsel yatIsm to OF
set the Ian srllshness that existe
among the other aspIrsuts. That dsr
heres are probabilities, and that j, e,
ward Adcicks looms up prominent
among them, the indications plain

can party Of Delaware will be bepehttl
by that surprise 10 tie hope
many earnest Republicans. w.
