| Tnnnell-- -Mustard-1.
1t was expected that Mustard would 20
to.Rsyard, but hesurprised everybody, In
cluding.the clerks, by casting his vote for
his favorite on this side of the big pond
There was nothing especially note worthy
connected with the ballot. aud, when
Senator Harrington moved that the two
houses separate, Senator Records was the
only man who voted against IL, and he
more by way Of Joke than anything
else.
Addioks at the old stand.
j. Edward Addicks returned to Dover
yesterday morning. He proceeded
, Immediately to the Hotel Richardson.
AddIcks or Nobody
Il have spent $3.50 600 In politics and
} as soon as this Eession Of the General
Assembly adjourns sine die l shall 20
out of the business. These were the
words that J Edward Addicks addressed
to ex-Secretsry OF State John r.
Salisbury and others standing near him

Has Higgins Any Assurances
i II Is current amongs the opponents
of Senator Higgin that he has received
: assurance In Washington that, In event
: Of the failure Of the General Assembly TO
= elect senator. the Senate will seat the
man appointed by Governor Marvil. II is
conceded that he would appoint Mr.
Higgins.
Say the Governor Can't Appoint.
The friends Of the senator say that the
it governor cannot appoint, the United
States Senate having already put itself
on record against such 3 course
y by It's refusal to seat certain Western
y senators so named They say that, II
such q course were TO be sanctioned all
? that would be necessary for a minority
Z to secure would be the governor. Il
!; could then block an election, throw the
4 appointment TO the governor and the
United States Senate would soon be a
a body of appOintees instead OF body OF
men elected in the constitutional manner
by the General Assemblies Of the respec-
= tive states
y AddIcks Can Never Get It.
;, Speaker McMullen says that when this
70 break comes 1t will be with a rush and
= surprise the public by it's suddenness BE
70 does not regard the re election OF Senator
!. Higgins as an impossibility, but is en-
. phatie in his declaration that J. Edward
I Addicks can never be elected.
