DOVER, Jan 2S.-They came; they saw
they accomplished nothing. That is the
sum total Of the Addlcks invasion Of
Dover yesterday. He had large dele.
cation. it is true, but any man who
furnished free transportation, free
dinner. free hair restoIer aud free cigars
could have had one just as large As a
free blow 1t was q bowling success; as a
factor Of Importance in the senatorial
fight 1t was a fat failure. AS au ex-
pertinent on the part of Mr. Addicks 1t
WAS a costly one, and to day finds him
not one vote closer to the goal OF his
ambition. If he is not heavier In heart
he Ia most assuredly lighter in pocket
Ths delegation reached Dover at 10
o'clock. It numbered probably $50
persons To the casual observer It In
dicated that at least that number OF
New Castle county Republicans wanted
Mr. Addicks sent to the Unitad States
Senate TO the political analyst 1t in
dicated nothing Of the kind. II was
made up OF probably 200 Addicks men.
100 Higgins men, 25 Democrats aud 20
who had no preference Probably 15O
of the Addicks men did not care how the
battle went 30 long as they could get to
Dover and back for nothing. They were
Addicks men from deadhead principle.
This delegation marched down Loock-
erman street two by two, and made quite
an imposing spectacle Shopkespers and
people on the street gazsd on them with
interest. and they were an especial de

were: Elk United atss Marshal Henry

reception, while bis aides dispensed re.
freshments aud cigars
They then repaired to the lobby below
aud began talking among themselves az
a mutual admiration society, and specu
lating upon the extent of the influences
they would exercise upon the member
Of the General Assembly. Some of then
seemed to be disappointed that tbs
Higgins and Massey men did not imms
diately throw down their arms aud
surrender.
After spending three quarters OF al
hour In this manner they formed In lin
and proceeded to the State House. Th
lower house, which usually gets 20 worl
at 10 O'Clock was not called to orde
until nearly II, and the Senate did no
begin active work until nearly II 30
This Addicks delegation crowded int
