Dover, March gDth,-Ex-Senator Hig-
gins received decided black eye in to-
DAYS 5alloting. Lawyer Charles +. Rich
| ards received the votes of six of his fol-
lowers, as yesterday, but Representative
Money, hitherto 4 stanch Higgins sup
| porter, voted for Harry a. Richardson of
Dover. 1t is conceded that the six votes
| for Richards can be summoned back to
Higgins at any TIME on call, but Moneys
vote for Richardson IS one that, in all
probability, has gone, from Higgins ire
vocably.
Addicks also got a severe blow in the
detection Of Representative Morgan who
voted for james Pennewill of Dover.
| This is the first break in the Addicks
lines. 1t now begins 20 look as though

There was a large attendance and much
interest during the two ballots. When
Representative Mustard voted for John G..
Gray there was burst of laughter. His
peculiar attitude in refusing to join his
! Democratic colleagues in voting for
RidSely is tending to bring BIN into ridi-
cule. y
When Money voted for Richardson and
, Morgan for Pennewill there was a buzz OF
excitement which was renewed when
} they repeated their choice on the ensuing
, ballot.
Both men say they are in earnest in
! their departure and desirous of electiDg q
Senator. Each, however, considers his
l candidate the most available compromise
: To-day's balloting has revived hopes
: that the deadlock may be broken ere long
The higgins men did not know that Mr.
! Money intended to break away.
I Some of the Addicks men knew that Mr.
9 Morgan would leave them, but they die
4 not know to whom he would go. MIR
9 Morgan voted for Mr.. Pennewill withou
q the latter's consent or knowledge Mr.
Pennewill is out of town.
o Mr.. Mustard says he voted for John G
h Gray because he is an intelligent man anC
= good Democrat.
q The Higgins men are uncertain as t
. what they will do next.
4 MIR. Richardson, IL is said. had an
y nounced that he would not permit the us
/ of his name unless those who decide Il
Y vote for him would stick to him to th
y . end, and therefore 1t is presumed that Nj
Il Money intends to continue to vote for Mr.
o Richardson.
Ii MIR. Morgan and Mr.. Money, IL is be
s. leved, are acting sincerely. The prevailing
r opinion is that to-day's manGuyrin
Il means something.
70 DOVER, March 2o-The breakin
y away of Representative Money fror
i. ex-senator Higgins and of Representa-
n tive Morgan from Mr.. Addicks is sup
70 posed to have been caused by the dc
d mand, now heard i'll every part of th
State. to cease trifling and elect q Sena
n tor. The action of these Assemblyme
j. is interpreted as genuine effort to en-
g tine disgraceful farce that has disguste
So the public for more than two month
Al and has revived hope that the deadloc
Ia may soon be broken.
