be taken of the stage at last by reason
OF the lack Of appreciation manifested by
the Addicks and Massey audience "Tte

lighted with It

The Higgins break Of Yesterday, 80 far
as practical results are concerned, was q
titr failure Il was designed to break
the Addlcks and Massey lines aud to
show the world that the men who have
been voting for Mr. Higgins for eight
weeks were not for Higgins or nobody

forces and its good effect upon the world
at large is not evidenced b. any Higgins
messages Of congratuation.

coop. said Senator Handy after the two
Houses had separated.

Higgins or any other Republican Is
elected shall be ready 70 80 home
J. Edward Addicks wired last evening
that be would be in Dover on the irst
train to-day
Looking Foru ard!
My belief is that the Addioks men
propose TO prevent the election Of any
senator this session and hold the matter
open for two years, said one Of the fore
most Of Higgins men last evening
Two years hence the Higgins forces will
sweep New Castle county at the primaries
IN August aud IL is likely thai Addicks
