men, Rnd ne may carry oil one or TWO
more but before the fight ends he will
return them to Ms with interest Massey
has come out of the bushes and attacked
our lines He has gained temporary
advantage, but we are willing that he
should have 1t at the present time, for II
makes him an open Instead Of hidden
foe Further than that, 1t eases up the
situation. | believe that 1t will result
TO the advantage Of Mr. Higgins You
may depend upon one thing most as
suredly and that is that GeorgesV. Massey
Will not be United States senator There
is no possible combination which he and
his friends can form which can result In
his election
One OF the closest friends of Mr..
Addicks said, in discussing the break:
1T Is In keeping with the Massey
tactics. but will not benefit him in any
particular He may get one or two more
votes on the strength of 1t, but he Just
might as well spare himself the pain and
trouble There are enough men In this
General Assembly who are 80 unalterably
opposed 10 him to render his election an
utter impossibllity
The Higgins men see tARt they have
nothing TO expect from him, and we
certainly owe him no favors and win
accord him none. Speaking from what
anow, think | may safely say that Mr..
Massey, by entering into = fight out OF
which he promised to keep, has been
guilty Of duphcity and that 1t will never
be rewarded by either Addicks or dig
gins kindness | still entertain hopes
that Mr. Addlcks will be abls to get the
honor. Our line still stands firm and
unbroken, and, we do not expect a
break
The Deadlock Remains.
The deadlock is not In the least az
fected by Speaker McMullen's action. In
fact, 1t has mRds 1t more complete. Be-
fore this break the Addicks and Higgins
forces could have united and named a
man under any condition, because they
commanded sixteen votes. majority of
the entire General Assembly. Now, on
full vote, they could not do so because
they only have dttssn. Massey and
Addicks combined only hold ten votes,
and Higgins aud Massey only hold
thirteen. If there 10 Republican ia
Delaware who thinks himself acceptable
TO all three men he should declare him
self otherwise the deadlock will 20 on
for an indt huite period.
MIR. Higgins Went Home.
Senator Higgins went to Wnmington y
yesterday afternoon on the special rrai u
which took the General Assembly to
Farnh rst He was accompanied by
Chairman Bach and George H. Hollis
Mr. Bach returned to Dover last evening
and spent the early part Of the night in
Addickss headquarters playing Whist
With John F. Donshoe, the gas king
confidential agent.
On the train Senator Higgins seems d
to be In the bsst OF health and spirits.
The d4sertion Of the man froM New
Castle hundred did not seem TO weigh
very heavily upon him, and nsither Mr.
Bach nor Mr.. Hollis was moved 10 tears
They did not get Of at Farnhurst, the
special being run on through TO Whining.
ton for their benefit
Democrats wnI Not Interfere.
One Of the leading Democratic members
Of the General Assembly was asked
whether the Democrats would cast any
votes to help.the Republicans out Of the
deadlock.
mot vote, he emphatically replied
There Is not q Democrat who would
have the hardihood to do IT, He would
be eternally, politically damned Some Of
the Democrats are afraid, however, that
Republican votes may fall Mr. Wolcotta q
way and elect him, and give us a Rspub-
licGn chancellor We don't want any =
thing of that kind to happen as, under
present conditions, we would rather
have one chancellor than ten United
States senators Some Of the timid
Democrats have suggested that we make
a change in our vote to render such 3
thing impossible.
Adkins for State Treasurer.
The indicAtione are that Win6eld 8
Qulgley, Of Wilmington, will not BE-
state treasurer and that Charles Adkins
Of Sussex county, will be. II Speaker
McMullen has bolted lQuigley as well al
Higgins and gone to Massey In earnest,
the Massey and Addicks men, who havl
united to defeat Quigley, will control tn,
Republican caucus ON next MondA,
night and Adkins will be the man. Hi
friends are doing their best to whip int,
line the two Addicka men from SUSSEX
who have personal reasons for not wish
ing to vote for the Sussex county man,
