DELEGATES ELECTED-KENT
AND SUSSEX WON AFTER A
HARD FIGHT AGAINST ADDICKs
DOODLE - SOME REPUBLICAN
COUNTY NOMINEES ELECTED IN
NEW CAsTLE-INCIDENTs OF
AN EXCITING DAY.
The regular Republicans and Ad-
dicksites have carried Delaware for
Mckinley, but the Democrats carry the
state ticket, electing Hon. Ebe w. Tun-
nell, of Sussex county. governor, and
Hon. Levin Irving Handy, OF New Cas-
tie, congressman.
Not only that, but the Democrats
have carried New Castle and Sussex
counties on the legislative. Constitu-
tional Convention and Levy Court
branches, and claim everything in Kent
county. If they succeed in establish
ing their claim to Kent county, and
there is good reason to believe that
they will, they will have elected all
three state senators, which will give
Democratic majority OF one in the
State Senate, four of the holding-over
members being Republicans and Ad-
dicksites and two Democrats. The in
dications are that on joint ballot for
the election Of a United States senator
the vote will stand: Democrats, 26;
Republicans, 3; Addicksite, l. Complete
returns will not be in until tomorrow
or the next day, but sufficient are in
to show that Addioks has been routed
by the combined Democrats and regu-
lar Republicans, Notwithstanding the
large sums of money that he put in
Kent and Sussex counties in the last
/ hours OF the campaign.
INCIDENTS OF THE NIGHT.
Not for years has there been so much
interest manifested in an election. All
day yesterday the streets were. crowded
and last night, especially on Market
street, the crowd increased to such
proportions that even street cars trav-
eled with difficulty
Many of the large industrial estab-
lishments were closed in order that the
employees might vote, and after that
duty had been performed, they aug
mented the crowds.
Last night all sorts and conditions OF
men rubbed shoulders in their eager
ness to learn the returns, and there
were many women, young girls ano
children in the crowd. AS the returns
appeared on the various bulletin
boards and were flashed by the stere-
opticons, cheers were given with sucf
a will that they were heard many
squares away. Brass bands played
drums were beaten, tin pans wer'
brought into play, and fish and fol
horns blown with an astounding gusto
The small boy, as well as his eide
brother, was in his element. II mat

cracked and shot merrily upward, h

bonfires were to be seen on nearl
